If you liked the vid good! But that video did not give the game justice at all, imo.

Well seing as you have played a near final version of the game, your opinion def carries some weight, so that quote is just about the sweetest news we can hear

Yep, I noticed that as well. I'm really hoping they move on an inning by inning basis.

Everything looked great, the detail this year is amazing.

In all seriousness the game is very immersive and what was shown was basic in nature but very nice to look at. They need to show some fielding action in the outfield and some examples of the new tagging system showing how the players set up to make tags so they do not slide through one another. Tuesday will be here soon!

Yep...looks like I'm gonna have to edit Soriano's stance to Andrew Jones' again

...Theriot & Lee look really good this year, but Soriano?!?!?!...c'mon SCEA (he was one of the most talked about WRONG stances on this forum!!!)...how could they let that go AGAIN>? I'm puzzled!

seriously? i'll never understand why people get so hung up on the stances. its close enough. play the game instead of watching the players.

Okay, so the Cardinals still wear blue hats/batting helmets on the road. The other game has them wearing red hats on the road, so I didn't know if they switched this year. That would annoy the crap out of me.

Solid gameplay as always

It isn't close at all, Soriano's stance in the game is really bad. But with the dozens and dozens and dozens of other improvements to the stances and motions, I feel it's silly to pick out one and go ape **** like cc23klaid did. You couldn't possibly expect them to correct every single stance and motion!

# 33 Jamin23 @ 02/25/09 09:25 PM

OMG!! that looks beautiful! I wish I had a ps3 to play this great game

Does anyone want to spare me a PS3?

and are they chanting mvp? I think im about to cry!

# 34 ShowTyme15 @ 02/25/09 09:30 PM

One thing i loved was seeing the people in the crowd get up from their seats and move across the isle they were sitting in and then walking up and down the stairs that was great.

Well this game does have "variable" umpiring!

Clements has Soriano's stance but due to time constraints he didn't have the opportunity to change it. If he had one more day it would have made it in the game.

# 37 Shakedowncapo @ 02/25/09 09:46 PM

Thats what patches are for? Well they did it last year so thats why I say that.

thats great to hear, anychance that might be coming to us in an eventual pacth like last year(manny, howard stances)

# 39 "The Veal" @ 02/25/09 09:50 PM

Is it just me or do these graphics look 10x better than the demos. I'm playing the demo on a 62' HDTV and this crappy quality IGN video looks better. Man, i cannot wait another 6 days....at least Killzone will hold me off for a couple of those

# 40 Windu @ 02/25/09 09:55 PM

Anybody have a ign insider account? If you do, would you be a nice guy and download the HD version and put it up on Youtube?
