Or something like that. Chris

Man, everything looks great in the game. Real life like. My only gripe is how the ball comes out of the pitchers hand. It just doesnt look right for some reason.

# 64 Willis135 @ 02/06/10 05:11 AM

I just lost all desire to play 09.

# 65 Ninjoid @ 02/06/10 05:32 AM

Wowser...I hope my DHL delivery to the UK is on time...simply amazing quality again....the release can't come quick enough....drool, drool, drool....empty a bucket and drool again...

Awesome stuff

# 66 EnigmaNemesis @ 02/06/10 05:32 AM

Looks absolutely phenomenal. Is it wrong that I cant complete my season now in 09?

No desire as others have said.

Amazing how this game can excite you year in and year out. Definitely my favorite franchise on the PS3.

Excellent job Devs and CD/FT guys, excellent indeed.

I agree with the pitching delivery comments; those are the only animations that have ever really bugged me. While most of the pitchers were just fine, there were some who had animations that didn't at all correspond with the path/release of the ball. I'm pretty sure Zack Greinke was the worst of the bunch last year. I can't remember exactly how his delivery went, but I remember that his release point was nowhere near where it should have been in the animation, which really threw my timing of his pitches off and made it darn near impossible to hit against him. Please tell me the glaringly messed up deliveries have been fixed this year. I certainly have faith in you guys that they have been.

If not, then at least I should be lucky that I'm in the National League and probably won't face him outside of exhibition. (Unless he gets traded to the National League or if the Royals and the Cubs both make it to the World Series together. If the latter happens, the world would probably end, though, so I still wouldn't have to worry about facing Greinke.) :P

I believe, don't quote me here, they are in right center field.

The ShowMo vid was money. Thanks for the OP for the link. Nice to have a taste while we wait for release day.

# 70 dufflebagboi @ 02/06/10 08:47 AM

I am just amazed how the field looks. I mean the Field looks truly b-e-a- utiful. And the player model even look more life like then before. Wow, this just made the wait till march 2nd, that much longer

# 71 nemesis04 @ 02/06/10 09:15 AM

While everyone is drooling all over this visually, lol! Did everyone notice in the first vid the throw from the shortstop was weak because his body motion was taking him away from the play? We did see some of this last year but this year it is going to play a heavier role as strength is more closely tied to the player's arm ratings. No back to your regularly scheduled drooling!

Yep, picked this one up Nem - combined with the speed of the baserunner it's going to sort out the guns from the pop guns...awwww, is it only Feb 6th for goodness sake!

I know Russell gave a reason why that's so...but for the guys who played at the CD...is it something that takes awhile to get used to or is it just really noticeable because we're seeing it for the first time?

It takes a couple games to feel comfortable but after that it is second nature. The biggest thing you will need to get adjusted with is getting your bearings where the ball is hit on the field and the angle you need to take. The more visible player icon should help some people out.

You will also notice is that most of the time last year on that play it was the sliding animation where the fielder would get up firing. That animation appears to be toned down a lot more.

# 76 K_GUN @ 02/06/10 09:45 AM

taking it slightly off-topic-

@target field....in RF..those seats....do they 'overhang the field of play'...ala old tiger stadium?....just curious

# 77 The Bimmer @ 02/06/10 09:50 AM

WOW! Thats is just amazing how realistic that looks. After watching the clip a few times I can see how it will become second nature identifing where the ball is off the bat, kinda like swinging at balls and looking at strikes became second nature for me last year.

It does overhang into the field of play.

# 79 Buckeyes_Doc @ 02/06/10 11:14 AM

Wow everything looks amazing. That video is beautiful.

my only complaint as well. It was like that in mlb the show 07 too.
Unfortunately this will force me to use the camera angle behind the batter when pitching and hitting so I can see where the ball is going before it transitions into the fielding camera.
