Getting kind of off topic, but this is why I love baseball so much. It just sticks with you from the time you're in Little League until you're an old man. Greatest sport on earth.

I'm excited for this game as well, but, I've seen all this before. Any video made from whatever version they're playing isn't anything that I haven't seen before. I've hit plenty of balls over 3rd base that have done the exact same thing in '11. Same hops, same fielding motions, same throwing motions. And on top of everything little that can be analyzed, they still show 2010 stat lines for the players at bat under their game batting line. And on the foul ball hit into the stands, the camera pans exactly the same as it did in '11. Not following the ball. Focusing on where it's gonna land, and looking like they stopped the video short of showing the camera focusing through the crowd to nothing. When I can play it, I'll make my own impression. Until then, all I see is '11.

How 'bout the way the foul ball came off the bat ? I've never seen that in 11. Doesn't it look more realistic ? Like the bat hit the bottom of the ball and the ball had a backspin on it ?

You don't need to worry about things like the 2010 stats being on display. I can almost guarentee you that this was only the case because the video isn't of the final build of the game. Also, by the sound of things, this new ball physics deal is going to make The Show 12 unlike any baseball game ever put out.

I can see where you're coming from though. At a glance things seem pretty similar. But look closer and I think you'll see some nice changes.

I think alot of people are missing the point of the commentary complaints. We realize that there are only so many lines they can put in and that there are only so many ways to call a groundout etc...and yes they will get repetitive and old, but it's the way they are presented. All 3 announcers don't sound like their sitting next to each other, there really is no fluidity to the comments. This is the only area that MLB 2k was better than the Show IMO.

I'm not even going to reveal my age, aside from the fact I took a week off of work to fly out to Sony SD, lol.

Alot of this stuff is placeholders. I haven't watched this video, but I can guarantee that the builds we were playing had tons of hits, animations, camera cuts, throws, and even catches that have never been seen before.

As for the stats, again that's just placeholder stuff. I'll let you in on a nice stat display tidbit... not only will you see a players 2011 stats, but you will sometimes see their minor league stats pop-up.
