this is wrong, the Giants dugout on the other side

I see they fixed the extra base bug on the errant pickoff at first base. No longer does the runner get third. No stuttering games plays really smooth. The smokey overlays are really nice. Insane hit variety.

Put me in this camp as well (another huge ASB fan). While the underlying problem with the commentary is still the same, I think Lyons adds a lot despite that. Of course, I also am one of the few who doesn't think the commentary is horrible (it's just not at the same level as the competition is all). And while I'm a fan of Matt V, it would be refreshing to hear a new voice call the game. Thom Brennaman would be a perfect fit!


Some other general impressions:

-I've also gotten stuttering on 2 different PS3s (an 80gb fatty and a 320gb slim). The pitch stutter is worse on the older system (which is likely a just product of years of heavy use), but I've gotten it on both. Not as bad as some though, thankfully (and it's really inconsistent, so it might be tough to pinpoint, I fear). I do see a fair amount of stutter in-between replays, overlays, etc and also have the menu music skip as well. I felt 12 was much smoother in that regard. Haven't tried without connecting yet though (which might help with the transition and menu stutter some).

-I agree with many who say graphics seem sharper. It also seems something is more accurate proportion-wise on certain players (smaller, leaner guys seem, well, smaller and leaner. It's like height in general is better proportioned). I might just be seeing things (could be better lighting or something instead, I dunno).

- Digging the new overlays and scorebug

-As someone who has terrible vision/reaction, I appreciate the pitch speed reduction. I was able to get around on plenty of pitches using Zone-something I couldn't do so well the last couple of years.

-Fielding animations seem silky-smooth so far and I've already noticed some improvement in hit variety and. It's also less awkward trying to manually field a ball directly of the wall this year IMO.

-A minor thing, but I dig seeing the full roster breakdown in the edit screen.

Good stuff!

So I'm also disappointed about the guess pitcher indicator now. Last year I was able to walk 85 times with my RTTS and was working on more. I don't need to hit as I find this years version on all star default waaaay to easy. My RTTS guy has 7 HR In 7 games. 2 in one game. No walks 385 BA and 4 doubles and 16 RBI

My first game was exhibition as the jays against the Red Sox 7-6 game late for the jays. Red Sox come back to tie. Extra innings, get to the 13th 2 outs for the jays and they allow a walk, a hit and something else to load the bases for Jose Reyes. 3-2 2 outs he hits a grand slam 11-7. Red Sox get a small rally to make it 11-8 in a loss. 16 and 15 hits for each team. 3 hrs for jays. 2 for sox. Lots of strike outs Johnson had 7 or 8 in 7th. Some guys like JPA struck out 4 times. I did walk twice or so.

Have to find a good slider set

Agree game is polished. Some I like some is great some I don't care for. Still should be fun. Batting "feels" better though

Miss brenneman here in az. I almost slit my wrists when I found out Lyons was in the game.

Loving this game top to bottom, only complaint is the lineup logic (happens every year). Didn't even play a game in RTTS and checked the dbacks lineup. Screwy, Prado leading off playing short. Likely gonna be bad, like always, once I make it to the bigs. That's when I hang em up, when I got created players all around me in the lineup, 3 of 5 starters are created players, and good players are on the bench or in the minors
