Fair enough! I wasn't complaining or anything, I was just confused. Thanks for clearing it up.

I agree with others, I hope that is the new Home Run camera angle. Very nice!

Mike - I may just be seeing things, but the flag animations look improved to me. Yes, they are all blowing out to right, like usual

, BUT I really think they look better.

Thank you! I wish I'd heard of this sooner.

I still don't like the camera showing the batter on HR's. In the Citi Field video, you see a closeup of the batter as he watches his HR. I wouldn't mind seeing that view on a replay, but during live action, I think it takes alot of drama out of a homerun. Oh well, if that's the only complaint I have, then I guess things are looking very bright.

Same here. Let's just say the camera we see on the home run is not the gameplay cam, but is instead a cut scene. I hope there's a way to keep the cut scene, but take away the batter cut scene.

There's just something about watching a crushed ball all the way into the stands. Very dramatic. The batter cut scene is not something you ever see on TV (except during a replay), so I hope there's a way around it in The Show too.

If you turn off the HR celebrations in the options it won't close up on the batter and you get all the suspense/drama.

Yeah, I know that worked the last couple of years. But...I hope the new and improved "homerun cam" isn't also disabled by turning off HR Celebrations.

Imagine a group of little ole' lowly fireman from Queens got to go inside CitiField a couple of weeks ago to do an "inspection" and the guys from SCEA did not.

This game is going to be sick as usual. I hope they get the online smoothed out finally.

# 93 Chai2112 @ 01/13/09 10:04 PM

Sox fans: anyone notice the new Red Sox uniform on Lester? Pretty cool.

# 94 Chai2112 @ 01/13/09 10:09 PM

Where's the eyeblack everyone's talking about? Can't find it.

# 95 ARMORALLL @ 01/13/09 10:26 PM

the video isnt working! when i click on the link i get some BS message that says copyright laws dont allow us to show this video outside the US. Gee good one sony! way to release a video to a site where only people in the US can watch it!

# 96 ImDaRza @ 01/13/09 10:58 PM

"It's just tooo sweeeet!!!"
Thanks for releasing the videos as well...
Keep up the great work SCEA!

# 97 Blzer @ 01/13/09 11:39 PM

To he who asked, the ball does indeed have seams during regular gameplay.

# 98 Artman22 @ 01/13/09 11:39 PM

It looks good but it Looks alot like last year.

# 99 Scooter3 @ 01/14/09 12:02 AM

It's like an alternate universe. I honestly had no idea that the Show would evolve to this level in one year! I'm in love!

March seems so far away and wouldn't you know it I've misplaced my Rip Van Winkle pills...

Now if you can change the accessories I will be very happy!

True, but this game still has a ways to go. Everyone wants an upgrade in player models, and with that will come new (and hopefully improved) signature animations. Then will come (like you said) accessories, hopefully improved cloth physics, etc.

But so far, everything else, especially stadiums and lighting, are nothing short of the best I have ever seen.
