It's based on multiple factors like age, potential, and their current overall rating.

Good to hear for OSFM and get real minors in correct rank

Will the push/pull system be applied on every player (created players, RTTS, etc) via an attribute setting, or will only players with spray chart data have this? It would be awesome to be able to make a slap hitting leadoff hitter or a first baseman who has the pull shift on him every at bat in RTTS or Franchise.

It's a global system so every player has a tendencies if they are fake players then it's random, well not completely random but the dice roll is skewed to keep the MLB averages there.

Amazingly excited for this now!

Still hoping pitchers holding the ball behind their back from the stretch made it in.

Interesting. One of the presentation upgrades for RTTS is to have LESS commentary? Seems bassackwards, but watch it all work out.

Not going through all 27 pages to see if anyone mentioned confirmation, but is it the same crew as last year? If so or not, were any lines recorded together? Or done in such a way to better simulate 2 or 3 human beings actually interacting with one another?

I don't read it as RTTS having less. Sounds like they are adding more sounds in the way of fan, player and coach chatter that immerses you on the field, which I think is great. Could you imagine if you could hear fans heckling you in the outfield? Or coaches and players from the dugout cheering you on when you're behind in the count, or pressure situations (bases loaded, etc.)?

TruBroadcast Presentations 2.0 (PS3) – True Broadcast Presentations 2.0 continues to blur the line between reality and The Show. This year focuses on further refinement of game continuity through the restructuring of thousands of presentations but also a heavy emphasis on taking stadium ambiance and big game atmosphere to a new level. The addition of new scenes, new cameras, new OSDs, new music and new audio allows MLB 13 The Show to take a huge step forward in the twofold approach of truly immersing the user in the moment during the pre-game while satisfyingly rewarding the user once the final pitch is thrown. Now more than ever the user will feel the difference between Opening Day, the Regular Season, the All-Star Game and the Postseason, and increasingly strive for a taste of the new Postseason celebrations.

They took out Dave Campbell and added Steve Lyons to the booth this year. This is really the only description we have right now no one is going to know much about the commentary until Community and even then it's limited so until someone gets their hands on the game or when media outlets start releasing videos within the next month there really is no definitive answer.

IMO the game was more than playable online last year. Played almost 200 games and experienced bad lag maybe 5x. I'd check your ping response time on a speedtest. Higher the #, the more lag you might experience.

As far as making online better...
