Thanks Steve. Just want to remind you that you rock

I like this real time thing, but after the game was over the players were walking off the field. The guy in the batter's circle decides to stay in there and take some more practice swings. I hope they fix that.

Stewart's post-game reaction was definitely curious. He didn't appear to be all that happy about hitting a grand slam and leading his team to victory.

It reminds me of the cut-scene animation from last year when a player on the bench would go angrily shake hands with a teammate and the teammate who's face you could see made it seem like he was talking the guy off the ledge.

Yeah, one said that and another dev said they were working on smoothing it out.

The way batters snap into their stance looks so ugly.This has to be fixed.

Care to give examples? Seems like you are one of the few who feel this way. So I am just curious as to why.

Yeah I think it looks better than last year. That is all you can ask for. Some just want to put games down, because they aren't perfect. Oh well.

The umpires and base coaches stay out there too. You know, just in case they decide to play 2.

Does need to be fixed though.

Also, did you notice the majority of the crowd standing BEFORE Stewart's Grand Slam?? Would have liked to hear the crowd noise with the bases juiced and right after he made contact. Nice touch as long as it wasn't just a replay trick.

I totally understand the need/want for realism. I kinda used to let the littlest thing that was wrong bug me. Now I just take them with a grain of salt. I think I finally realized its a video game. Everything will not be perfect. I am in no way saying anyone's opinion is wrong, but sometimes I think people just expect to much.
