I know....they want to show off the new controls...but I'd just like to see the gameplay untouched! M.K. Knight165

thats exactly what i would love to see!
we never get that type of video from them. its always Play Nows.
for the franchise/presentation nuts, it would be perfect.

Uh, that video was bull****. Did you see Soriano field that ball cleanly in the corner? I thought this was supposed to be a sim?!?

Pre-order... cancelled.

The video showed a game time temperature of 90 degrees. Has anyone seen anything about this effecting ball flight?

I liked it!!! Im buying... the only thing that concerns me its the commentary, but that can be muted and just leave the stadium ambiance... I think the game looks amazing!

I don't know if heat does or not.
Actually, I'm not sure what park effects are in place except for wind.


On the video and some of the posts.
There are the obvious posters who aren't interested in The Show and were just waiting for a gameplay vid to drop and were salivating to post on the commentary or anything they could grasp on negatively. It's expected....they are there(not the same guys in particular...but "that type") every single year.
Then you have the OCD guys.....who just HAVE TO focus on one thing and will never really be happy about it.
Then the "homers"....who would love anything.
Weed them out and listen to the level headed guys....and you'll have an idea of what this game is about.

The amount of complete B.S. and nonsense this year however really surprises me....hmmm...maybe not.

But...we're gonna need more WHAAAMBULANCES....STAT!

loved the video. one thing that i hoped was changed, hasn't. in '10, things seem out of sequence in many cut scenes when playing that game using the broadcast presentation. in the video, after the final strikeout, the catcher runs up to the pitcher for congrats...they are pretty close to each other. then a cut scene shows the pitcher walking towards the catcher and it seems a bit disjointed...hard to explain. i wish it was a bit more jointed because i just can't get into Real-Time presentation because of all the missing "baseball" small things. Does anyone know what i'm talking about?

Thanks.

Absolutely 100% agree. Not a game killer but kind of annoying and again, it seems a little sloppy and this brings up a point.

I agree with Knight about being level headed however, to me, that also means that no matter how much you love the series you have to remove bias. We ALL know this is the best baseball game out there. SCEA fans know it, 2k fans know it, EA fans know it, my momma knows it...lol, but just because it is already highly regarded and acclaimed doesnt mean it should get a free pass.

Sometimes I think this game is its own worst enemy. The VAST majority of this game is so well done. Because of that, when you hear commetary like this and you see disjointed cut scenes that force you to play the game another way to avoid them, it really does make you scratch your head a little bit. I am sorry,I dont want to say it because I love the game and want it to be the best, but some things in the game look sloppy. I think they get overlooked or brushed aside alot because of the overall package but they are still there. Not only that, they arent game killers but at least the two things I mentioned here arent exactly minor either.

There are critical responses on here and some of them are a little over the top, but some of them are on the screws with regard to at least raising an eyebrow toward being concerned.

Yes, I posted this exact observation earlier this morning. That's the only thing I didn't like about this video... And before Pared murders me, no I'm not some insane OCD gamer complaining :-b. This game looks so good and I'm even more excited that I didn't buy '10, so this year will feel like a HUGE improvement. I think this one will be one of those sports games where I will have no trouble staying interested in for a long season of baseball.
