That's awesome to peak in on league games. We were wondering if it would be possible to do it in our league last year.

Love T-Shirts. (I'm a XL BTW) As for SCEA, from what I've seen it's more than being committed to putting out a great product. The developers love baseball & for me that's probably the most important piece.

If you notice I am hanging out on this side of town a little more than usual. Reason being is The Show is on my radar big-time this year.

Every new MLB the show version on the PS3 i am sure will look a little better then the last one. But I think you are going to have to wait for "Playstation 4" until you will see graphics that will blow the older versions out of the water! I happen to think the game looks great so far from what I have seen! As long as Sony keeps adding all the "little details" and keeps making the gameplay better and fixes all the bugs I will be very happy! Does MLB the show PS3 graphics blow me away.No not by a long shot. but I do think its a very very nice looking game!

I agree with you. The screens and graphic look great to me.

I havent seen the leaked video yet but I believe what you say hearing everyone's reaction when they saw the video.

Can't wait to see some videos myself of this game in action.

For the most part, that is due to the developer, not the hardware. 2K is probably one of the worst when it comes to discrepancies between their offerings across platforms. Other developers do better (Ubisoft), some you can't see a difference at all (Capcom). Anyway, like you said this isn't a thread about hardware, or any other developers for that matter.

I have faith in SCEA, as I know they wont be taking any steps backwards, and if they stayed at 08 levels graphically I would be fine. Screens have never done this game justice, and considering the textures of bushes/vegetation that is in the background was mentioned...that is something that you cannot/will not see in motion. Comparing those "still" textures to last year's screens, I can see improvements; same with the lighting on them.

Nothing wrong with striving for and demanding perfection tho, and I know no one is doing anything just to cause SCEA grief, but to make sure the final product is as perfect as possible.

is this thread about the screenshots anymore?

I am not impressed, but they look as good as last year, which is fine by me.
