My most under-rated new addition I havent seen anyone mention is that there are now a bunch of PCI options. The biggest question mark noones mentioned yet. What did guess pitch evolve into?!

Wow, I just posted basically the same thing. Clearly SCEA has listened to the folks who want to play their game on a palm pilot ... wait, VITA ...... and wantedmore stats on their baseball cards, but nothing was done for those who like to manage games (isn't that what franchise mode is for?). I'll pass.

I really liked '12 but I was so rubbish at hitting! Hopefully '13 will be ok in that respect.

For users who choose the new button accuracy meter they will now have complete control over the fielders arm accuracy and arm strength. No longer will an errant throw be the result of a random dice roll. Is this like how analog throwing works but is now also integrated for the button throwing option?

Foul tip outs were active in November so unless there was a tragedy with it in the game it still should be there.

The button accuracy is along the lines of analog where you now control your velocity and accuracy on the throw with a button press. If I recall correctly your initial press determined velocity and how long you held the button activated a line toward the different sections of the meter (red yellow green) which determined your accuracy. I am interested in how the finished product turned out, as it was a work in progress when we were there.

But will the players attributes have any affect on this? It seems silly that a player could potential never have an errant throw with Starlin Castro just because they time the throw right every time.

I did remember reading somewhere that there will be a sweet spot in the throwing meter that will unlock more animations like "spectacular animations". Was that just for RTTS or was I imagining it.

Absolutely attributes will play a role just like they do in analog. It will be represented visually in the meter itself. It is not a generic meter for every player.

I'm not sure what these guys are complaining about, but I bought next gen Madden for five years. I've seen a roster update, and this isn't it.

Two copies day one like always, one for me and one for my little brother. This is a no brainier every year.

Well, playing 12' now just doesn't feel right, haha. But that is a awesome fact sheet, can't wait to hear more details on certain things. I am mainly a Franchise guy, so that is really nice to see all the improvements. Should be a great game. I wonder how much gamestop will take for 12' now aposed to March, haha.

You do realize that generated pitch counts IS a form of simming, correct?
