Only 49 facts??? What a disappointment.

1-16, 35, 42-44 have me especially pumped. I'm intrigued about how Twitter will be used (if it's a presentational aspect like in Madden, then awesome. If it's simply linkage to Twitter through the game-which is my expectation-then, ehh...not for me).

I'm also curious about the "silhouette bat while bunting." Hopefully that is more than a cosmetic thing and involves an overhaul of the user control.

As usual, good stuff. As a bonus, it sounds like a lot of the franchise upgrades have some promising long-range implications as well.

You can slide foul tip outs in one of those slots. Hopefully that is still in!

Great, some new looks at fielding a ball, and less commentary (which I'm not a fan of.) Kind of a let down. I'll still be getting the game, but I was hoping this would be the year that they really took RTTS to the next level.

changes to franchise also affect rtts.

It allows an unobstructive view of the ball and the system is revamped where you can successfully pull the bat back in time. Good stuff!

The Show Live (PS3 & PS Vita) This mode is all I needed. Everything else will just be a bonus.

wow, the best fact sheet on the ps3 yet.
at least for my preferences.

couple questions tho, if Russell or any CD guys can comment.


10. Franchise Mode: Team specific player valuations, which affect drafting, trades, free agency, etc.

Is this like a player role type of deal?
Meaning a team like the yankees will treat a guy like Mo or jeter differently and wont shop him, wont look for a closer or a shortstop, or does it mean a team will value a certain type of player in Fa, draft, etc.
little confused there.

Also,

Twitter in the Show

Is this Twitter like it was implemented in Maddens franchise mode? Or is for users to tweet within the game online somehow?



Also, no more wondering who did what around the league in franchise.
With the ticker, It is alive!


EDIT: what changes were made to the player card?
I was one who hated the change to the card last year. Glad it was changed again.
