They said that it was going to be pretty basic the first year it's implemented, so there are probably not that many details. They said they will expand on it even more in later versions.

Interesting that they only have a team of 75 working on the game. It would be interesting to know how that compares to the other sports games like madden, NBA, NHL.

I think other sports games have around double.

Didn't catch the stream and I have a menu Question. Did they put the batter pitcher analysis back on the front end with the directional button. Instead of like last year you had to pause and go to stats?

Put it this way, the last grand theft auto game had something to the tune of 300 employees working on that game, the show has 75 employees but their game is made every year and the amount of animations they have in their game probably dwarfs gta's by quite a bit, that's a lot of capturing and programming for one 75 man crew.

Smart move - implement it carefully. It is true managers have different personalities. I wonder if that means the current attribute list for coaches and managers will be revamped.

Time Lapse as in it was moving along at a fast clip. Pretty cool I think it looks beautiful and I hope we see this presentation for all stadiums. I assume it's ok to post this screenshot since it is also in the video stream?

That looks nice!

Yeah 75 does sound small I wonder how that compares to rockstead has the batman arkham games are some of my favorite games and I think they are consider small.
