I also forgot to mention I am stoked to see the Umpire traits. I love knowing my umpire crews and adjusting to "their" strike zones. I hope this goes deeper and I think it will as it will be a featured stream!

Exactly. This is what I was trying to say a couple of pages ago. I'm big on realism and "sim" baseball but to me RTTS is the exception to the rule. Like you, I view it as more of a fantasy mode. I don't even touch sliders in RTTS, I just have fun. Showtime fits perfectly and seems to be well executed.

You're thinking of variable strike zones? Yes those were in a couple years ago but I don't think that is what they mean here? I have the same info as you and I could be wrong... but when I read "umpire personality traits" I don't think of anything to do with strike zones, I more imagine small variances in animations, some making calls more enthusiastically than others, etc...

But we shall see!

I hope many changes will find their way into regular season mode..which is all I ever play..ever...I've tried RTTS, but cannot get into it...The showtime feature feels like a crutch for those who are new to baseball or have never played a video game baseball game..

Anyone know or is allowed to comment on whether the "old" analog hitting is available again?

Will there still be a Fact Sheet at the end of all the Streams so we can see it all at once?

Oh man, I hope there's an over-the-top Ron Luciano personality trait type ump, or at least plans for one in the future.
