Apologies. I just feel like they have more to tell us. Why have a blog + stream about RTTS and Showtime next week, but reveal all of the new features a week ahead of time?

I guess we'll see. Either way I'll definitely tune in for the first snippets of gameplay, even if what I hear about RTTS doesn't interest me.

Not a fan of the slow motion game play.

Looks very gimmicky to me. Slowing down time to make a diving catch or hit the ball? This isn't simulation baseball. We want SIMULATION. We've always wanted that. If I wanted an arcade baseball game, I'd go dig up The Bigs.

Seriously. This slowing down time thing better not be in Franchise mode or it will be a killer.

Did you not see Ramone's IGN video where he walked through the teaser trailer. RttS and Player lock only, my man. Don't go killing yourself yet.

I would also like to point out that you're playing baseball with a controller. A controller that has very real limits in terms of how far you can move the joystick or how hard you can press the button. Adding in a "Focused" mode in order to bring on a sort of heightened state is not beyond the realm of reasonable when it comes to simulation. Players are not robots with hard limits.

I'm not endorsing showtime, I'm just pointing out that saying "it isn't simulation WE WANT SIMULATION" is kind of a poor argument.

The good thing is most of time you can turn them of or don't use them.

You know, that is a very good way of putting it.
