I read this whole thread and it's pretty clear the main gripe is Home Run Derby, and those who were critical just got met with "Hey, calm down that's not the final code. Everything will be ok." Well, Russell has been posting in here and he hasn't said one word about it, so I just wanted to add my 2 cents (that I agree with others that the derby camera could use some improvement.) As long as there is no official confirmation one way or another, I think people should speak their mind, whether positive or negative.

lol, the thing is it is not the final version believe it or not. I am not saying they are going to change the camera option in the retail version, but I trust they have a reason to be using the one they decided to use. I think it is the fact you are basing this off of a game that is not finished yet. I think that is why you got that comment.

For me it was the language and the players. I have no idea who they are.

Jim has posted numerous times the game is unfinished in the videos that you've seen and there's no real point for me to reiterate that myself. Not to mention it's in a mode that people will play for a little bit, then eventually not really care about 2 months after the game is released.

But don't let that stop you from going all out.

Longo's stance is still wrong after 3 years. Other than that the game looks alright

Why do I get the feeling you think this one feature is going to ruin the game and lower the review scores?

Seriously... let's say they DON'T fix the camera angle. Um... who cares? We've been playing the game for three years now without it. Now it IS in, and people whine that it's not in properly. All the things that this game and dev team add on a yearly basis that are so superbly done, and THIS is what we're throwing a fit about?

I think this game/franchise is close to flawless... the only thing that could make it better could be allittle better broadcast presentation. I would love to see fox/espn like ncaa basketball recieved.

I don't know if Longoria's is one that is getting updated...but Ramone said that there will be quite a number of new and updated stances/motions.

I'd be quite optimistic that he'll get his stance right. They went through great lengths to ask us on here for signature routines and patterns and I saw Longo's name come up a couple times.

None of the new stances are in the current builds of the game and those might still be getting tweaked as we speak, so yeah.
