That is indeed true....but his animations will be in the shipping game.

Pump those breaks, playa.

Don't get me wrong. The game looks Fantastic, with a capital "F". I was floored when I saw the first gameplay vids of Granderson stepping into the box in the "Broken Bats Gameplay" on Gametrailers a few weeks ago and I had to replay it a couple times to remind myself that it wasn't the real thing.

Anytime the only gripe I can have is what a player's wrist does in a practice swing or the exact way the ball comes out certain pitcher's (as in not every single one) hands, that's a really good thing. A really, really good thing.

When you guys say Mauer's routine...Do you mean his stance? I thought MLB 09 had his perfect.

Ha you might be right. In my defense I had my contacts out at the time.

it was easy to tell it was a foul ball and not a HR..watch the shadow of the ball, not even close.
I still don't know what "new" lighting you guys are seeing in these 2 vids..there are no clouds or transitions
still looks great though.

Or, it's like having a bat super-glued to your hand at one angle, and having to rotate your wrist all the way down and around to have the bat touch the ground, because you couldn't animate the bat, or the fingers, because your animation would be way too large for the PS2 buffer, so you had to wait for the increased memory on the PS3 to solve both of those problems, but you haven't had the time to go back and fix all of the older animations yet because you were adding more game play and presentation animations into the game then you ever had in any previous year as well as redoing many of the older personal animations and adding new ones...and writing incredibly long run-on sentences here on OS at 10:52pm on a Friday night in your office. Or something like that.
