The new ball physics are just... legit! That's all I can say after seeing it. And the legit-ness shows in the way players interact with the ball. Speaking of fielding, one of the coolest things I saw was... on a deep fly ball to center where Granderson ran back knowing it was going to be deep, with his right hand, reached back to locate/size up the wall and made the catch on the warning track. I think Pared was playing. It was a thing of beauty! (the play, not Pared.)

Cool, that sounds great. I'd just like to see it in action. And I'm looking forward to posted videos.

One of the things that bothered me was how rain was going to affect the game last year in 11. And you know what? I played a whole 162 game season in NY and never saw a rain game. Another was the dropped ball on walks.

Those are things that bother me as to whether or not these improvements are real or not.

Both the rain frequency, and dropped ball four were bugs that should now be fixed.

LOL, trust me, they are real. Everyone that was there saw them at one time or another. Or was it my imagination?

I'm so glad to hear the bolded part... I LOVE having different weather conditions in my sports games... just adds so much more to the realistic feel of the atmosphere... especially when one is playing 162 games, lol.

Can't wait to get some cloudy/rainy games this year!

I like how there is curve to the ball when a ground ball is hit, not just a straight shot to a fielder or to the outfield. Looks so natural.

I dig the default camera view. Loving the physics too.

Video looked good.

I am not sure if I am remembering correctly, but the graphics and interfaces look the same. I am a tad bit disappointed with that.

Commentary? It doesn't bother me and never will. I tune it out by the second or third week of having the game anyway. I don't care how deep the commentary will get, eventually it's going to get stale. It's only a matter of time.

Someone else said it best... They don't need to reinvent the wheel. The ball psychics and swings look great.
