Good question, but I am assuming if you go up to it slowly enough and just stay in the green, the animation will probably kick in.

Thank you Kirby for all your work!

Now I don't know whether to be an outfielder or an infielder... hmmm... but either way this mode definitely got my attention again... It looks how it should, fun.

I knew this was going to be good... But I didn't know it was going to be THIS GOOD! It looks absolutely amazing. Between the new camera angles, baserunning, presentation aspects and all of the little things he didn't mention. My only question is, do we have to call every pitch of every game as a catcher?

Edit: I'm pretty sure I already told you this, but Kirby you are the freakin' man! -- Sent from the Future...

Tonight?!?

The vid mentions that we hear on the field stuff while playing, but then the announcers after the play. Does that also happen on the Vita or does it go right to the next play skipping presentation? When playing the outfield does the camera ever switch so you are looking at the outfield wall when your back is to the infield, like when the ball is heading over your head and you are racing to the fence to track it down. The views from the vids, it kind of looks like you don't know where the ball is landing if it is heading over your head, you just keep running backwards and hopefully you will get there in time.

Another thing that was not mentioned in the video is the ability to look at the catch region (the giant baseball) and take your eye off the ball. If you press R3 (down on the R-stick) the camera will look directly at the catch region. Also, if the ball is going to bounce off the wall or be "robable," the camera will automatically point in that direction instead of at the ball. That way you can time your jump more easily.

Look amazing. Been playing franchise the past few year and I think the last time that I played RTTS was in MLB 10 The Show. I'll definitely be looking to getting back into RTTS again this year. Now it just feels as if March 5th is even farther away...
