I think the new ball spin will be fantastic but I suspect the 20th time a ball curves just foul with runners on base there might be some debate on the topic.

Well I would hope the ball is going to react just like real life now.

So whether its's 20 times or 50 times if it is 99% like real life then why would anyone complain?

As I said I think it will be fantastic but I've been on this forum long enough to have seen people complain when things don't go their way.

At 27 seconds you can get a good view of a certain logo on the left field wall that may or may not give away something about presentation....

Actually quite the contrary, graphics are almost always the last piece in any development cycle, especially in a situation where the developers are pressed for time, because:

- graphical changes require the least amount of bug/crash testing and
- you can't actually run a demo build until the core changes (mechanics, internal processes, animation triggers) are finished... that means you wouldn't even be able to produce a trailer until you get that stuff done first

It's like building a house. You wouldn't paint the walls or the furniture, put in molding and floor-tiles, or any of that cosmetic stuff, until the building is structurally sound and functional. Beams and columns, electrical outlays, floorboards and sheetrock all have to be done before you can worry about cosmetics.
