I was just thinking the other day, the smell in the air reminds me of baseball. (Sounds weird, I know), but that Spring smell in the winter air is awesome.

Yea there is...if you look at it, only one sport video game has classic games. And that is 2K. There are only 12 players per team so 2k is not spending a lot on the rights to use the legends likeness where it would be about double what it costs for a complete NBA team. Also maybe SCEA couldn't get enough players to allow them to use their rights in the game. Perfect case is Bonds. Starting in 2004 he did not allow any game company to use his name or likeness ever again. Go back and play MVP 2005 Barry Bonds is a white guy with the name of John Dowd. Also Kevin Millar was a black guy named Anthony Friese.

And that is also the reason why we don't have any more NCAA Football games.

How about suspensions for players just for "breaking rules"? They don't have to specify a certain rule that is broken. And for players there can be a hidden rating or some type of personality trait that will give the user clues as to how likely the player is to break rules.

Can anyone put the new Human IK engine into simpler terms? What does it mean for the game? I'm intrigued.

Well the IK engine is a tool, not a result. There isn't really much to talk about until we know how exactly SCEA has decided to use it.

But it COULD mean groundbreaking improvements to the way fielders move apply tags, and react to thrown/batted balls, and the way baserunners run, reach for the base, and avoid tags. Things that were handled by individual animations before, will now be handled mathematically, which means less wonky stuff, and smoother, more precise and realistic movement.

Again, though, we will have to wait and see.
