They never gave it to him in the couple years he played. But yeah, I loved the gameplay, and the new presentation overlays are AMAZING! They are unbelievably cool, makes me think I'm watching a real MLB game And I'm glad they're finally starting to fix more and more pitching motions. Those were the biggest problem I've had with The Show, probably because I'm a pitcher

I think from what I have seen, sometimes players will swing with a 1 handed follow through, and sometimes players will finish with a 2 handed follow through, because i was watching the cards videos and i seen Holliday swing with 1 hand finish one time, and then with a 2 handed finish the next time. I`ve seen it a couple other times as well, but I am not 100% sure.

You can also see on the foul ball Pujols hit, he finished with one hand.

viewed this vid and in regards to the preshow, it needs work.
gone is the Player to Watch, which i always liked.

plus, during the lineups, pitcher intro & defensive alignment nobody says anything after Matts intro of the OSD for all three. its just silence.

there should be some sort of OSD speaking about what to look for in todays game.
or even better, harold reynolds or someone giving a report on the game.

this game needs a pre-show enema.
lol
its actually regressed in this aspect over the years.

but i do agree that until ps4 commentary and presentation will be incrementally moved upward.
i remember in the first Show blog posting on Sony's blog ,Russell said this:

Quote:

“The key feedback we heard involved our presentation and commentary, so that’s our number one focus this year Commentary, which Russell specifically described as the “number one complaint” from last year’s game, is seeing a similarly massive overhaul. “

i am sure this quote is adding to the fire.
when u hear the words #1 complaint/massive overhaul in the same sentence, I can understand people expecting more.
3, 5 or 200 innings.
massive would probably make it noticable right away. it would also apply if the announcers were changed.

anyways, as far as OSDs id like to see things like 'career vs' and 'last night' type numbers.
as well as a scouting report for each pitcher.

the presentation does look improved, but nothing like i've seen other sports games do in one cycle, especially when its a major focus.

I like that the commentators made mention to 17th SB for Aybar and one of the Angels having 1 hit in his last 4 games, nice improvement for franchise games.

sweet aint it!
also it wasn't a cutscene, it was done in real time.

Looks so great. Loving the little changes, like the new follow-through swings, the better fluidity, new ball physics, hat brims...

I wish the guy playing could, um, play though. And he didn't balk on like... every pitch.

Kinsler hitting ninth? I hope this was manual and not lineup logic!

Finally we can watch some very nice gameplay videos. The additions to this year's game are awesome. I really wonder why there are still so many people demanding something like an "overhaul" or even a "major overhaul". If there is one game that doesn't need that, it's MLB The Show. The game has always been great because it is a true baseball simulation and this game continues to get better each and every year.

Very positively to mention:

- Ball physics (this game will definitely play like a totally different and much better game)
- No sound anymore during replays (e.g. when the bat hits the ball or a runner is sliding to base)
- Greatly looking overlay design
- Cumulative stats (underneath the score bug) are back
- New cumulative stat overlays during the game (e.g. HR team leaders)
- New broadcast style (cutscenes) is simply amazing (and we just have seen little about that yet)
- New and different music before the inning breaks
- Seems like the uniforms now stay dirty when batters reappear at bat

Please, guys: Fix the Chicago Cubs shoe glitch. As long as I've been playing "The Show" their shoes have always been partly gray and we have no chance to fix that ourselves.

Love the game from what I've seen yet and can't wait till March 6th! Great job!

I'm kind of guessing that we won't be seeing any more media before release. I'm impressed with how much they did release. I took an hour lunch to watch all the vids.
