The answer is no.

Trust me, a few of us (probably not enough) have clamored that we should have the option to remove it, but as of now, SCEA isn't giving in.

Maybe in 13. Would be nice.

Im sure in the later innings when the action picks up we will hear some of the new broadcast kick in. Either way, game looks absolutely stunning. Cant wait to play on 3 and V.

Have fun waiting, you're probably not going to hear anything different.

What they should have instead of removing it is a dimming feature on it. That way you could dim the brightness to the point that it blends in with the field, but for those of us who don't know the pitch repetoire could still somewhat see it. And if you wanted it removed you could dim to the point that it disappeared.

1:40 mark they show the home run team leaders with no response from the booth. Yeah that would happen in a broadcast, they'd ignore the graphic and stay silent.

These cutscenes between pitches and foul balls are cute but how long before people are just mashing buttons to get past them?

I did like how A-Rod had his shin guard on protecting the inner leg, just like in real life.

Still doing the boring home run trot instead of the one used on broadcasts. You know the one where cameraman is close to the ground and make the guy coming around to home plate look "heroic" and then following him into the dugout. Does anyone even watch baseball games?

I'm sorry if you all are blown away by recycled material. ("Caveman swinging a club", "amazing" shortstop jump throws, replays of outfielders trying to catch HR's they can't reach, insert Karros dialogue). It looks like we've entered COD, NBA 2K territory. It's as I feared, most of the time was spent on the VITA.

The commentary doesn't bother me too much. Most baseball games I watch have rather dull commentary anyways.

Good game play video. For some reason the Cubs vs. Cards video is better. The commentary seems way better. This one here seems like The Show 11, but graphically you can see its not. Weird...

Nice to see a bit of CoPa in the early vids this year.

Nice to see theyve also nailed Boesch and his looks this year

Also great to see some of the park improvements thaSLAB worked hard to get in there for us.

thoughts:

+ love what i have seen thus far as far overlays. key is more, more, more.
- commentary. was anything done to it? theres parts where it sounds worse than before. during a team hr leader overlay all 3 announcers sat silent. Campbell should vanish 1st and foremost.
+ the broadcast graphics are a good start, looks like they might have a visually defining look they r going for.
- Gloves and bat sounds are not mixed well. too loud. it takes a good situation where they rerecorded the sounds and turned it into a bad one by having them be so over the top. yes i know theres probably a way to mix it yourself, but thats not our job. it should be set already.
+ home run thoughts: cool to see cutaway to the bench, and new angles. but they should show the guy going into the dugout giving high fives, like u see on tv, and also put a drop down DURING the HR. Crowd was a bit dead on the dinger.
