It would actually go back to 0. . Any way I like the pitcher release point and the outfielders see to take a little time getting to the ball. Hope we see more doubles donw the line this year.

When he talks it really sounds like he's using a tape recorder and not "talking" to the rest of the crew - The editing in this video...come on I want some RAW footage - Is THAT the ticker they were talking about this whole time? Looks the same as last year's Positives - - Lighting looks AMAZING - Player models are realistic along with the new batting stances such as Pena - New commentary like the one where Pujols gets lined out - LOVE the new color scheme on the guess pitch and the lineup card and the scoreboard thing on the top Can't wait to try out the Demo but I need my PS3 asap.. it may feel like '10 but it sure does look BETTER (which was close to it but by maybe 5%)

I'm having trouble with the whole video loading...my internet has been shaky at best lately....but if it's the drop down box underneath the scoreline up top.....no that is not the new ticker.
The new ticker is on the bottom like ESPN's. I have a low res pic that Kolbe sent me(to tease me a bit)....but I don't have permission to post it...so I won't.

....and of course the game is much like '10...Why shouldn't it be?....there was no need to rewrite the entire game.
...and sorry....those that say they can't see the difference in player models....I'm gotta call you know what. That's nonsense.

I think we all agree we would love some new commentary....but horrid? That's a bit much.

What stadium was that? It's hard to tell.
(I might as well just get all of these out of the way now )

Carry on.

Exactly...Byrd is a beast physically. I don't see a problem with Pena either, dude is 6'2 230-240

I did notice that too. Some players still had the box shoulders which was weird. Look at time 3:04 when David Freese walks up, his shoulders are so high.

I dont nitpick batting stances or the way stadiums look or jerseys looks but to me this was obvious when I saw it on some players while some are ok. Like I said, its just weird.

That pitching view at Cubs stadium is awesome though.

I hope so. The editing wasn't so good, so maybe they edited the best they could to gets thing to flow the best they could so they could hide the stuff they didn't want you to really see. I liked how the opening presentation was like, under the second deck and you could see that, as how in previous titles it would zoom out from the center field concourse. Loved that little addition to opening presentation

I'd be doing the exact same thing if I was trying to hit from that camera. The only game I was ever able to do it well in was Bases Loaded - and that mostly had to do with up,down,left, and right being the only swing aiming controls, and the ball coming in at half the speed that it does in today's games.

I have great respect for anyone who can actually hit well from that camera angle, because I sure as hell can't.
