Excellent!

BTW, are you still at work (isn't it 1am your time)?...lol

looks like the wall colors around Macafee are still really light compared to what they should be.. should be much deeper green... not a game killer but needs to be addressed i hope one year!!

I wonder if this is maybe more based on lighting this year? It's a very bright day it would seem. Not saying that's the case, just wondering aloud.

What I like about this picture is the liveliness of it. You see fans moving in the backround, the bullpen in action, the ump poised to make a call, etc (not to mention the obvious jumping play in the foreground). It's a good "live action" type shot

Again, some really great captures guys!

wish it was but if you go into 08 the wall colors are the same... they should be much darker green... even with the lighting they would never or should never look that "old and worn down" or pale in color... oh well no biggie...

I guess the game is really progressing well when we see posts about the "shades" of colors being right or wrong. :-)

I come from the Earl Weaver baseball days (and Atari before that)...I think the screens look fantastic. Anything not exactly right is something I can suspend disbelief over. Minor things which aren't gameplay related won't detract from my experience.

I really want to give kudos to the devs for fixing the flags. Matching the animation to the strength and direction of the wind is a nice addition. Can't wait for vids and the demo.
