Do they show the outsides of all the stadiums? I would like to see Miller Park and its statues as well....

I find myself watching this video over and over.

Simply and utterly awesome. For someone that grew up with the first generation of tv/video games (remember blip tennis) I just get blown away each year. Thank God the PS3 is region free and I can play this game in the UK!!

I bet that could be one of the opening cuts to the game like how it zooms out from the Liberty Bell in the demo. So hopefully we'll get a shot of McCovey Cove, the Coca Cola bottle & glove, or the Willie Mays statue outside of AT&T Park for the Giants.

But uhh, as for the Tony Gwynn statue, that one is actually inside the park (I think it's at the Park Within the Park grass area). So they may not have any external shots.

Holy **** that looks sweet.

I'm really excited that they added the World Series and opening day logos to the field. It hasn't been mentioned yet, so maybe Knight, Jim, Pared, or Nem can help out; are there patches on the hats and jerseys too for the WS?

Ummmmmmm. I can't take it anymore. I need this game baaaaaaaad. And by the way, to all of you guys talking old school baseball games. Remember Baseball Stars on the NES. The first game with a sort of franchise feel to it. Way ahead of its time. I would bash my cousin, who would always play as the stacked American Dreams, with The Lovely Ladies. Great game.

I really wish I would find out if they updated Kaufmann Stadium. As a small market team fan I'm not buying this game if they don't. Yankees new stadium was done before completion in this game, I hope all teams get the same love in Video Games since they don't on SportsCenter.
Royals Stadium has had a complete overhaul that was not in last year even though it was halfway completed but this year is no excuse. It has the biggest HDTV in America in the outfield and not seats in the Home Run areas so it looks completely different. If it weren't for small market teams you'd never have a Rays08 story.
