Is it just me, or does the article sound like they are planning on transitioning away from cutscenes entirely in the next few years?

I get the feeling cut scenes are sort of gone. That doesn't mean they can't do close ups but it's all in real time. Did you play MLB 2K9 or try their demo? That's how they did it and it was really cool. I don't think you will be disappointed. It's the highlight of the features announced so far (for me).

The only thing i've wanted for a few years is the abilty to control all teams lineups, pitching rotations,callups,etc but with fantasy injuries. This is the only thing holding this game back from being prefect.

They said those presentation scenes are still in the game, since they have upwards of 7,000 animations in them, and it would seem a waste to scrap them.

They will have the originals along with the new RTP from what I gather.

MLB 10" will default with the same presentation gamers are used to, with all of the classic cut scenes that help you follow the action. But the team at Sony is also laying a foundation for what they believe is the future of sports gaming, and that's something they call Real-Time Presentation (RTP). We're still going to default to what we have, as we have upwards of 7.000 animations in all of these cut scenes. But the real-time aspect gives you an opportunity to watch the game in a different environment, from the way the camera focuses on the shortstop who just made a great diving catch to the way the next batter is walking up to the plate to the way the guy who just got out storms back to the dugout, it's all playing out in front of you like you in real time.

I wanted Busch Stadium II (1966-2005). R.I.P.

And speaking of Franchise, there will be the ability to finally play Franchise mode with up to 30 players. "We have a lot of fans who want to control every team, every lineup, every injury … they actually want to go in and manually injure a player just so their franchise at home can have the exact rosters of real life

I pray that MLB 10 has alternating interleague schedules in franchise mode...

I need this game, ASAP. If only every programmer/dev team was as involved/passionate about listening to the ideas and thoughts of the people that matter the most: us, and the consumers who purchase and support these titles! Kudos to Sony and the staff who work on this game. Another great season to be a baseball fan and Sony PS3 owner!

If you go to the previw and scroll down you can look at their gallery. There are a couple extras, including one showing fireworks. It also looks like they have statefarm as a sponser.
