My dream? Get the player faces "good" enough to where player pictures are generated based off the player model.

Forget next year. The time is now, this game looks very very good.

I don't know if anyone caught this, but when Nick Johnson comes to bat in the Royals/Nats video, the overlay that pops up says "Nick Johnson Has The Nickname 'Nick The Stick'"...I found that hilarious.

This is THE most realistic looking sports game I have seen. Those real time scenes are just unbelievable. Those different camera shots just bring everything to life.

I'm starting to notice the same thing in all the vids I've seen so far. I don't think I've seen a base hit from a hard hit ball thru the infield yet...and that's worrisome.

My take on the video is this, re:camera angles, 2K's cam angles allow better depth perception than the Show. The Show however is a much tighter and complete game. The only cons for me are the lazer arms and lazer hits off the bat. In order to slow it down w/sliders, I compromise HR's and some fly balls mid to deep outfield. The ball trajectory of the ball on 2K looks a bit more realistic - so I would like to combine both games to make what I believe would be a more accurate game of baseball - hence Pro Yakyu Spirits...
