MLB 11 The Show First Look

[PsychoBulk]

My good god.

Im drooling already.

I am though really interested in what changes they have made to Franchise, and hopefully presentation.

I want masses of in game stats and overlays, just like a real tv broadcast.

It all sounds great, typical SCEA, they always deliver.

Really the only thing I am hoping for is that the analog fielding fixed the broken fielding system in 10. If it is still broken, but just analog, then that would be a disappointment indeed. But being the optimistic person that I am, I am sure that the fielding will be amazing this year. I am also positive that there will be a franchise importing option so that I can bring my power house A's into 11 rather than having to play another year with the worst offense in the majors.

Analog controls and customizable camera angles are huge for me. Really happy they stepped up and added them. Now if they only make the pitch speed slider more sensitive so I can slow it down some more I'll be in heaven. Sounds great so far.

The only negative about this time of year is it gives me nearly no desire to play "that old game" that sits on my shelf anymore. Bring on 11!

Blzer ... look at this one pic... and I am sure it will be even more noticeable in tomorrow's comparison shots...



That looks as legit and as authentic proportion wise as it gets... there is no "ugliness" ... arms are fixed, shoulders, etc.



Look at the arms and shoulders here too!!!



Much improved. Looks legit now! Pop '10 back in, you will see what I am talking about.

They can not just "adjust" previous models ... that is not how it works with their system, animations, etc ... they have to build from the ground up with a new skeletal system. It is going to look similar, cause of the stellar textures and faces the game employs. You do not change the great texturing if it already looks great... but I can tell the skeletal structure is all new by looking at it.

Hey Russ, can the Buccos get some love in a screenshot????
