LMAO I think I saw Ramone there in the reflection of the TV.

That's a hitch that I wouldn't expect to change if I understand your comment correctly.

Looks good, but we really didn't see anything.

Let's wait a bit before we get wowed at the new things we're supposed to be wowed at.

Overall, looks fantastic but I noticed this too and was a bit bummed. Hopefully they have time to correct it. Need to see much more video before judging though. Can't wait.

Looks as though SZ has been lowered, but i could be wrong.

Hopefully they improve the pitching motions this year. I've been waiting for them to do that for years now. They just don't look as fluid and intense as they should. This is one thing I still think the 2K series has over this franchise.

Your perception is not off.

Is anyone on an ITouch having issues getting the video to play?

The "click here to watch on your IPhone" link isn't working. Is the vid on YouTube?

Liked the heavy 3rd base umpired, hated the awful music. Who thought that music would be a good idea for that trailer?

# 31 econoodle @ 01/07/11 01:31 PM

noticed they added a bit more flair to the batter-up overlay.
now has the team specific color which is sweet.

I'd wish they would do away with the SHOW logo that is as big as the actual stat area itself lol
not to late to yank that. no?
simplicity is key.

i KNOW which game i am playing.

graphics?
are you kidding?
this is what the XBOX720 will look like!
just impressive straight up.

like the screen swipes.

I hope so, but I'll have to see Jayson Werth and Albert Pujols before I can confirm that the strike zone is based on the player's stance and not the height. In other words, two 6'2" men with completely opposite stances (one crouched and one upright) should not have the same strike zones, and this was the case for every version of The Show up until [potentially] now.

Keeping fingers crossed!

They use 2xAA in the game. Have been every year. I fail to see where there are "jaggies" everywhere in a 320p video.

The person playing the at bat does not know what he is doing. He kept hitching back. The epilepsy comes from him hitching back on the R stick too early, but then not holding it back. Graphics and models look great, but despite "real time presentation" it is the same umpire, walkup, and strikeout cutscenes from 3 years ago.

# 36 SoxFan01605 @ 01/07/11 01:37 PM

Liked that the Umps apparently got the same treatment as the players in terms of proportions (IMO, they were worse before). Also really liked the slow motion view of Beckett at the end...the motion looked much more fluid with the longer arms (more snap to the motion than push, if that makes sense).

All presentation elements do not get added to the game until close to it being finished. We may not even see everything next week when we go.

This is an early build. I am sure they added a lot more in the presentation department.

Yep. And it will continue to be tweaked all the way up until they are ready to ship.

Wish they would re-model the catchers gear. They've had that awful looking gear for years now. It's so big. Other than that, can't wait.

# 40 EnigmaNemesis @ 01/07/11 02:05 PM

Anyone else notice how much sharper the textures are on the stadium and especially the dirt and grass?

To think this could not get any better, and it does visually.
