[ozcore]

all in all this is an awesome game. i just played a couple of `` play now`` cause im waiting for osfm rosters to come out before i launch my d-backs franchise. 1st game i hit back to back taters with goldy & peralta and greinke had 16 strikeouts which was a 1st for me. graphics are amazing and the bat sound is just incredible. tried fisheye cam at 1st was not very familiar but after 2-3 games i got hooked,IMO i see the ball better with that cam.

kudos again to all the SCEA team.

Amazing game.

The new lighting, fish eye batting cam, and presentations are all fantastic. I'm also, surprisingly, really enjoying RTTS. Showtime is great and the added RPG elements are very engrossing.

This game easily trumps 15 which I absolutely loved. SCEA does it again.

The game is great. It plays real smooth and the fisheye camera is awesome.

Seems pretty realistic to me. Baseball is a business and salaries go up every year because teams are able and willing to pay more.

I wouldn't have a problem with budgets going up if they money was used. If it is not used for contracts of players it just leaves huge surpluses. I've seen teams with surpluses of $70 million.

Really doesn't make sense to have budgets if they are not constrained to some extent and can sign anyone they want.

I'm really liking the fisheye zoom camera. Glad we have some historic stadiums. Hitting and fielding seem a bit smoother and more polished. Graphics looks nearly identical. I don't know how some people see a huge upgrade, or really any significant graphics upgrade. Maybe I need to play more night games. Nice step up from last year, sounds of the show should help keep this game fresh all year.

Very disappointed in the stat package. You can no longer see team stats which were normally at the bottom of the stat page. So if I want to see how Oakland does against lefties - I have to get out my abacus and start manually adding.

Also missing are SABR numbers that I used a lot and replaced with WAR which is nice but where is POP where is POP where is Base Out%. BB% is all zeros

VERY disappointed with the stats. Screens have a lot of wasted space - they could have more on one screen.

Also - can they make the fonts any SMALLER? Good lord I have to put on my magnify glasses and I have a 60 inch screen.

Is there ANY place I can see a teams stats? all in one place like last year? I hope there us some NEW place.

I'm pretty impressed so far. The graphics are great.

I am a little disappointed that it looks like BA splits were removed (I wanted to see what a certain batter was doing against LHP and couldn't find it)? Or am I just not looking in the right place?
