The new PCI gives the user a better understanding of their contact. With the hitting system in the Show contact can still be made outside the heart of the PCI. Granted the quality of contact decreases the further away from center you go. The original PCI as you know had a distinct edge and many people questioned why contact was still made if the ball was outside the PCI. It gave the impression the system was not operating properly. As you said you can turn it off and I think most do but now when people see it, it is a little more self explanatory.

Cause, who reads a newspaper still?

This may be a brilliant idea down the road.

Granted the current newspaper has a lot to be desired in what actually says about the game just played, but if the writing becomes better and if we can export the article (in HTML or whatever) and post to a real website, then it might be a very cool feature when you are running an online league and want to post the league information for people to view.

SCEA can add a lot of references to "MLB XX the SHOW" ad in those website articles ad for the brand to really grow on the outer web. (so when people search with the term "show" the first that comes up will be about the Show....)

Hi Russell! Still like to know if the Mets and Rockies (finally) will wear metallic colored batting helmets in MLB 12: The Show, like their real life counterparts? Thanks!

Why put the pitchers name some where? Sometimes I forget who's pitching.

Ok, correct me if i'm wrong, but I remember everyone was saying MLB 12 THE SHOW was going to have massive improvements and changes for FRANCHISE. This is my problem... Why would people with inside information say there was going to be massive changes for the 2012 version, where there is no evidence of that. It irritates me that the newspaper is still in, and now we have to look forward to 2013 for that. Truly SEMI-PRO. If I don't see major improvements in franchise...Strike 2!

In my opinion, SCEA is just continuing to push back the developments and improvements for franchise, but they have no problem saying "Oh you will have to wait until next year." YET IT NEVER SHOWS IN THE GAME! It irritates me that the newspaper is still in, and now we have to look forward to 2013 for that. Truly SEMI-PRO. If I don't see major improvements in franchise...Strike 2!

Make it at least a little more clean looking, now it looks like everything is thrown in the corner for the sake of having it there. Put it in a nice box or something I dunno. Isn't this pure beauty! Ok that was my last rant about the subject, I do like the new score overlay though

that last shot is heaven.

Whether you like it or not the vita version took up a lot of time. There is no special separate development team to do it. Also, if you do not think this had any affect on things: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...-director.html you are fooling yourself. Aaron, the person who is dealing with franchise now is very committed to the challenge. This is not to say there won't be any changes to franchise in 12, there will be! It may not be what everyone is expecting but life happens and we have to deal!
