Not only confirmed, but it's confirmed they have doubled the amount of minor league ballparks.

But like you said, more important features like real-time flags waving in all different directions and umpires farting as they squat weren't included. Maybe next year.

sorry, nothing personal, but you are the reason why sports-game like madden are s*** year in and year out.

A game like mlb the show (08) doesn't need major tweaks and spectacular features! it's only a sports-game, the rules are basically the same every year. you need a great core and build from that. But EA and other developers don't get that far, because they feel they have to add major features for a game to be worth the money.

100% agree

real-time flags waving in all different directions would be super great!

Jackets on pitchers, sunglasses, and eyeblack.

FINALLY those issues can be sent into retirement along side Adam Laroche's batting stance...

I agree. The little details are great. Is it March 3rd yet?

I'm excited about the batting practice in RTTS. While I wish pitching and more so fielding training would be included, It's a huge step in the right direction.

Yes, having a visual of wind strength and direction would be great!
