You must have not been reading the forum. It was posted by a Dev that there are over 70 new features, enhancements, artificial intelligence improvements/re-writes, and additions.

Just because they posted about umps & cleats FIRST doesnt mean thats all they did all these months. How about you wait first to see what has been added then you can make your sarcastic comments after?

Plus, they did nothing(SCEA) except post pics. They didn't say word one about any of these things(except the umps) until guys picked up on it from the pics.
You can't win.

Does anyone know if personalities carry over to the field, or if it's just for the plate? I'd assume it's both, but I don't know how often calls are made on the field that are ever "wrong" anyway. I don't think they ever get tags called incorrectly (at least on the programming level) or fair/foul liners, except for home runs. The only other ones they seem to botch are the plays at first. Is this tied into their identities at all?

For your sake, you'll be much better off if your next post indicates that this wasn't sarcasm.

Different personalities on the field would be nice... But I haven't really been able to clearly see the differences between botched and right calls on the field (yes I do set the gameplay option properly). Maybe new animations and collision stuff will improve that aspect of the game???

I'm sure they will add to the collision aspect of the game through animations(they are always adding A LOT)...
On umps...I don't think the personalities are outside of home plate and the strike zones ....but don't take that as gospel....
