Good read: AHHHHH ,I've been waiting for this since BB games came out. Now I just made the switch to the PS3 for the Show and 2k comes up with this angle. Does the Show have a similar angle?

I think it's just that the camera doesn't snap to the field as much as the angle itself. So it follows the ball rather than going to the far-away camera.

good read.. The gameplay is really sounding great this year. Just hoping presentation is also up to par.

It is sounding pretty good so far. I am really hoping fielding is not as automated as it has been the last few years. You really had to do very little to field a ball in the IF. It was primarily automatic. If they improved hitting which it sounds like they did and added errors/injuries which also sounds like they did I should be a pretty happy camper.

^^^ chase can you comment wether fielding was as automatic in the IF as it was in 2k10?

Very nice impressions Chase. I'm really liking what I'm hearing.

This example is HUGE for me. I hated that the CPU AI knew exactly where the ball was ending up after it hit a wall. GREAT JOB!

Now, the above example might be too subtle for some to appreciate, but others probably realize how important a play like that is to a baseball game. It’s plays like the above that make you want to keep playing. It’s plays like the above that make you want to build your team a certain way. It’s plays like the above that capture that moment of suspense that defines baseball.

Can't wait to play this next week. Also, looking forward to the demo as well.

Shaping up to be a GREAT baseball season!

I'm really happy to hear the colors aren't as over saturated this year. That has been a problem for a few years now.
