Or something like that. Chris

Hahah! Nice!

That was the first think I noticed. In 08/09 that was a "routine" out sadly. I was delighted to see it more realistic.

Yeah I noticed that later. Apparently when you watch these clips without your contacts in and with a glass of Jameson in your system, your eyes tend to play tricks on you.

Haha!
That could be part of the problem!

We all have our vices.

I love how the umps motion for Inge to back away as they discuss the play.

Also...on the replay....the reflections in the glass....I love little nuances like that.

Yes. Motioning to the player was pretty cool. Another "little thing"

Maybe one day, we'll see a ball land and stop on top of the wall, aka Yankee Stadium last year... (I can only imagine the type of programming going into that

)

just an amazing addition

# 89 Infinite202 @ 02/06/10 03:31 PM

Awesome!!

# 90 ParisB @ 02/06/10 04:54 PM

The only thing I hate about these videos is that it's killing my patience until the game comes out, haha.

Was the homerun discussion with the umps in "real time"? Or was that a cutscene....

# 91 silver540i @ 02/06/10 05:09 PM

Not sure if this was mentioned, but I love how the fan tried to reach out and make the catch on the HR replay.

# 92 GoBucs09 @ 02/06/10 05:16 PM

Wow, day games look amazing. Can't wait.

Has it been established whether or not the video review can go either way? That is, can the call on the field be upheld? Can it also be the case that a ball will be called foul but then be reviewed and ruled a home run, or will the original call on the field for a replay situation always start as a home run?

From my understanding it can be from both perspectives in the game.

If you mean "established" as in "has somebody seen it" the answer is no. Doesn't mean it isn't in there though - only two of us saw the foul scene at the CPE in all those 3 days of solid gaming, so it's not a common occurence at all.

Cut-scene.

From any videos and photos, it looks like they nailed Target Field. So far the only thing that I have noticed that is missing, is the limestone behind homeplate on the backstop.

I am sure they may be other items after viewing the game more once released, but I do not think that Twins Fans will be as upset as Yankees and Mets fans were last year.

So far the wall color is spot on, limestone on top of dugouts is great, and something that was just confirmed in real life about a month ago was the retired numbers in left field.

GREAT JOB SCEA!

Yup, now we just gotta figure out if they fixed that 328 ft sign on the RCF wall. Otherwise, I'm very impressed by their rendition as well as the stadium itself.

# 99 ckarlic @ 02/06/10 10:30 PM

Wow!!! That was awesome. I love the sound of the fans. Can't wait to play this game.

# 100 Joey @ 02/06/10 10:35 PM

Wow, that's a lot of signature animations! This game is looking great, is it March 2nd yet?
