Before you said it wasn't visual, I was going to guess the player now appears in his team's uniform, not the generic one. Distant second was home/away equipment options, but that seems less likely to me. But both seem "visual" to me.

Anyway, I'm not too bummed about the May release thanks to the silver lining of cross-platform rosters. The wait for OSFM always made the first month to six weeks after release a bit of a dead zone for me. Being able to more or less jump into a franchise soon after release would be a nice change pace.

The option to speed the game up is great, but it will remove events that happen in actual MLB games. Mainly putting the first ptch of an at bat in play. Its something tha happens over 10% of the time in the MLB. Its a sacrifice that I hope I can make as I really like the idea of quick counts to speed up the game. But I would of sacrificed an extra few minutes to get a 0-0 count once in a while.

I am wondering the same thing regarding other features. They shouldn't really say feature complete as that makes it seem like diamond dynasty is coming to the Vita, which it hasn't had before.

Ive seen about 20 posts asking if there will be a 10 dollar upgrade like recent games have done. You clearly arent the only one.

You make no sense. You're talking like if the season ends, we can't play any more. The show has nothing to do with the MLB season. So YES im willing to pay 60 dollars for this game come May. And if they have a collectors edition(wishful thinking), I'll gladly pay for that too.

I am good with a may release, If it gives them time to reach that 60 fps on 1080p, then it will be well worth it

Last I saw, the season goes into September, and then the post season in October as well. How is that half?

Yeah that would be cool, but i remember Russell saying in a post on here a bit ago that with throwing in the odd 0-0 or any random count (1-1, 1-0) didnt really speed the game up and that was the goal of quick counts

Only one thing caught my eye that I do not like seeing especially if this is from the PS4 version. Notice in this screenshot the pitchers for the Giants are still sitting in the bullpen. As most know by now the Giants pitchers sit in the dugout with all the other players at At&T park. Only the visiting teams pitchers sit in the bullpen. I was hoping this would be fixed in the PS4 version.

Any idea if this screenshot is from PS3 or PS4?

This is honesty the only negative thing I can see so far from today's news
