I say that to myself everytime I watch one of these video's of the show. This years version looks so amazing, I have never been so excited for a game in my life.

It's certainly an exciting trailer. I don't like the HD look though, it doesn't look like video, it has a kind of cartoonish quality to it. A friend of mine described it as looking more like a moving painting. I much prefer the standard video look which is much more fluid and real looking to me.

Wow im a NBA guy...not even big on baseball but that had me going....very detailed that was so next gen..only if our FOOTBALL could get where the BASEBALL AND BASKETBALL is when it comes to detail and depth it would be scary...BUT anyway I may have to try this game out.... hearing to much about it

It'd be really sweet if that was fixed!

I remember in The Show '09 most stadiums would display the pearly white ball for a night game setting, but there would be a few that seemed to be "in the shade" with the rest of the stadium (though there didn't seem to be much lighting to it either so it seemed pretty dark). I know that PETCO Park was one of them. They needed a good combination of the two for night games. Now all they need is that crossover lighting effect, where it will really haunt people when batting is it goes from sun to shade.

I agree. Obviously they would have to limit it to sixty seconds at most, but this is what get my juice flowing!

Not many games do in-house commercials like this anymore. Obviously SCEA probably has a contract with Jerry Lambert to do their advertisements, but I would also appreciate a nice change of pace. I guarantee if this had a 60 second TV spot during the Super Bowl (lol that's a stretch to say the least), they would move a lot of discs and consoles on this trailer alone.

One cool thing they should add on the full count, two out situation like here is the runner breaking from third should go way wide of home plate to avoid getting the **** knocked out of him on a screaming liner down the line.

Good question! I also would like to know. I'm just hoping that we get a demo before the release and not after. Even if it's just a couple few days just to take the edge off. Fantastic trailer! The tension is building! Later
