Even two boring no hit 1/2 innings looked great!

You couldn't possibly expect them to correct every single stance and motion!

I totally disagree- Soriano's bat waggle isn't quite as aggresive now- but it depends on the situation. Check out this homer from late September last year and tell me it's all that different from the clip....I am jut not seeing it:

Beautiful. I got a Baseball erection....

Zambrano's pitch movement looks straight nasty in this clip! (kind of an oxymoron)

I'm not sure if developers or anyone tried to give us an ultimate clarification, but yeah the day games have static lighting. This is the first gameplay video of the finished version I've seen, so I guess that's all I can really go off of.

So do games vary as far as starting out cloudy...to sunny, & vice/versa?

That toe turn in is really a bad distraction. I couldn't stop looking at the foot turn in.

I think so. Probably depends on Location and time of year

I just recieved a PM and the response to maybe a "patch" fixing some stances this year that they couldn't quite get to (i.e., Soriano)...

...not gonna happen.

(I know they did it last year, but it's not going to happen this year...)

Ah well...hopefully, there's an edit amongst all the others...there will be!!! Can't wait!!!

Odd, since they moved last year, it was just the contrast was so opaque on them it was hard to notice.

Glad they tweaked it some. Still, their lighting (HDR) with their skies is amazing. Looks real. And glad the clouds move subtle and not at a 90MPH clip.

And my goodness this video was clear, and really shows off the AMAZING graphics this game has.

IMO the score board at wrigley is way to high above the fans. in real life the scoreboard comes all the way down to the tops of the fans heads.

The only thing missing is the giant State Farm Insurance sign to the left of the scoreboard.

That is not what I stated. I said don't count on it under promise and over deliver. That way if it doesn't happen already told you it wasn't if it does everyone will be surprised I think most will like it that way.

# 60 NumberOneRB @ 02/26/09 04:37 AM

The graphics are VERY impressive. Animations as usual are excellent, love the signature style improvements. Ya'll making it hard for a brother to choose which baseball game to get this year...
