MLB 11 The Show Video: St. Louis Cardinals vs. Chicago Cubs (Gameplay)

[Diablo25]

First real gameplay footage 3 weeks prior to release and some of you need to be talked off the ledge? Relax. Sony will release better footage showing off the new features as the release date approaches.

And many of the same people will be gushing about the demo this time tomorrow.

2 weeks actually, but shouldn't all the footage they release be "better footage"

I mean, for some people all they need is one bad video to change their opinion... it doesnt make sense to put out any videos that don't make the game look absolutely awesome!

If anything, their going backwards. The Yankees Vs. Red Sox gameplay looked better, the Brewers Vs. Mets gameplay showed off some awesome stances. The Phillies Vs. Red Sox gameplay wasn't so great.

Yeah, I have to agree with you on this one. Many over the top reactions to such a short and edited video. That said, some of the comments I read are probably going to be on the money with the final version. For example, I think most people are going to have to come to terms that the commentary and presentation didn't get the same MAJOR update as other parts of the game. "Theres always next year". :-)

Hopefully Because Presentation is one of the major things this game is known for.

True. The attention to detail the devs have given the series are the reason why the fans hold the game to a higher standard.

I really think this game should be able to produce more on-screen stuff by this point: stats like career vs., count-specific stats, month stats, historical stuff that shows the game is tracking players and franchises.

I think we all need to relax and enjoy one of the best sports game of all time!

Really not sure what people are expecting here. 10 was arguably the best sports game of all-time, yet people want to see something completely different in 11? Doesn't make any sense.

Anyways, personally, I know that to get a full scope of the gameplay improvements, especially in this series, I have to actually PLAY the game. So much of the year-to-year improvements are tied to feel with The Show that I'm not gonna judge harshly based on a video. Besides, I have nothing negative to say. Game looks stupid realistic, lighting is out-of-this-world, stances and deliveries aren't perfect but more than good enough (and better than any game's done in any baseball game) and just through a video, gameplay improvements are evident (like the aforementioned missed ball by the outfielder).

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but I'm just not really understanding what people's expectations are when it comes to annual sports game releases. Even the commentary isn't as bad as this poorly edited video shows. I look forward to release day anxiously.

Couldn't agree more. Baseball is a sport of statistics and matchups. We need to see this more. But we did get a sneal peek of it with the hits batsmen and overlays in this video, so its looking good hopefully more to come!
