New Balance cleats! I know myself and the equipment guys loved seeing that!

Looks like we may have some improved groundball physics in bounce and how they track.

I love the names on the batting helmets!

And also in the opening few seconds..........."You're killing me Smalls!" I busted up on that one

Then add the Wild Thing haircut from Major League? They had fun with this one.......

My .02 of the trailer... new celebrations, new animations (like when your major league talent corner infielders just can't stop a grounder), beef up diamond dynasty (cause look at the dough fut and mut make), a novelty act called retro mode, and a few more legends. Hopefully game play is improved, things like rainouts and rescheduled games are added, and uniform errors and slots are corrected (which I doubt. Textures look same). As a franchise geek, I am willing to bet it's more or less a roster update with a few celebrations. It looks like resources were focused on casual gamers (retro) and dd players. Hopefully I will see more as march approaches. My gut tells me I'm dead on though

New create-a-player hairstyles finally. Looks like a lot of added player personality/emotion building off of last year, and there were a couple shots of hits down the line so i'm wondering if that is the dev team showing that the no 2Bs down the line has been fixed (although only one of those grounders actually tailed into foul territory). That has been a pet peeve of mine with the game for a while.

Always hard to tell much from these sort of trailers for sports games, you could probably whip that up using 16 and I'd struggle to tell the difference. The only real thing there is the "retro mode" which might interest some people, but I'm not one of them. Cool to see Griffey, but not a whole lot of info on what Griffey being on it actually means? (just another legend in DD?)

Looking forward to more being revealed about other game modes though and maybe some actual gameplay footage instead of the cinematic replay stuff
