I can completely believe that result, but I don't know about "stunning". They are the defending champs, after all...

I heard jimmy rollins simmed it and they "stunned" them in 5, then he simmed it again and they were nice and took them to a game 6 before they won it.

Cool video highlights. I was surprised that the World Series Logos were not on the field though.

Well, it is looking like the Show got the first game correct with a potential first game win for the Phillies. Utley is well on his way for MVP honors.

I hope you guys in SD did not jinx my Yanks. There is going to be trouble!

While I do believe The Show has the smoothest looking and playing fielding in the game, I sometimes feel that all the players arent animated distinctly enough to demonstrate their subtle defensive strengths and weaknesses. And this to me, if improved, is what would make the gameplay feel even more diverse and unique from game to game and team to team as well as give each of the players even more individuality and personality What do you guys think?

While definitely off-topic, I agree.

I love it.

Acknowledge and in a sense, apologize for pulling the thread off topic, and then asks for others to respond and keep the thread off topic.

Good discussion topic, but start a new thread about it, don't hi-jack this one. LOL

Being a Yankee fan and all I think this game might be the same as what you guys predicted. But one thing I will disagree with is the scores of each game.. other then that everything/detail is spot on! Including Chase Utley as MVP.

So far the Show is 2 for 2 in predicting team wins.
