Yes those videos are absolutely awesome but that relay was a thing of beauty and in the first video how Gardner circled around the ball and fielded and threw all in one smooth motion. Sweet!

Great stuff!!! I hated Physics in high school and then in college I was required to take it 2 semesters of it as a pre-vet prerequisite. However, real physics is just so beautiful in sports video games!

I've gotta say, videos like these are a real testament to the quality of the product and the quality of the development team at SCEA SD's studio.

The fact that their '11 product was so good that they could even allocate those kind of resources into this kind of research and development (for a detail as seemingly as minute as collision awareness and baseball physics) makes me proud to say I'll be a dedicated follower and purchaser of MLB The Show, for life.

The backspin video brings back memories of the lefty topspin bug in MVP 04. Hope no such new physics = wonky physics situation occurs here, but it certainly doesn't look like it'll be a problem!

The "Ball Physics" video, that was a foul ball called fair....bad call.

The ball was over the centerfielder's head to one of the deeper parts of the ballpark. I believe both middle infielders become cutoff men (one to backup the other) and the first basemen wheels to second base to cover if no one else is on base.

Some umpires think it's the correct call, especially the foul line umpires during the most important series of the season.

I know what happened, I was pointing out it shouldn't be like that. Second baseman should be the cutoff, shortstop covers the bag, and first baseman stays at first.
