3D glasses....but the look on Ramone's face while the guy was introducing the segment was priceless. For a second there, I thought Ramone was going to beat him down. LOL

Game looks beautiful; really like the animations/full crowd animations in particular. Really seems to take advantage of the PS3. Not a big baseball fan and have always found The Show to be somewhat daunting, but thinking about picking it up depending on how accessible it is

One thing I really, really thought looked ugly was Nelson Cruz's hacks when he fouls them off. I can't recall if that animation was always in the game, but it really pokes its ugly head out from the behind-the-pitcher broadcast cam. I hope there's more variation, because I don't think many right-handers swing like that anyway.

^^^^^^and to add.....the post swing animation where the batter flips the bat/puts it under his arm and claps his hand is old...need more post swing animations

And I know these aren't final yet, but Lincecum's delivery needs a little tweaking.
Agreed. I want more bloopers!

UncleMo, they might have done some subtle changes with jersey texturing, but you won't see a huge upgrade there this year (or maybe not ever if they want to maintain a solid framerate given this console generation's limits).

Player models have been built from the ground-up, however. So no more T-Rex arms, less boxy shoulders, and weight differentials are accounted for more appropriately (more of a gut for players instead of just stretching them out). I'm sure the lower half had an upgrade as well. Many more player faces are spot on, too.

Also, lighting has received an overhaul as well. You started to point it out a little bit with the weather, and that's just the beginning of it. Transitions seem to work seamlessly around the clock, and as we just saw there is also cloud coverage for night games.

As for the 3D, I think you and I just have different opinions on how we'd like to see it done. I'd like 3D for depth perception, more so as a gimmick than anything else but it will be a pretty looking gimmick. Maybe it will help out while batting, I'm really not sure. I don't really know what would be flying out at our face though, since the cameras aren't really set up for that (except maybe in Matrix-style replays? I don't know).

The textures, especially the skin and jerseys do not need an upgrade.

They are some of the best in the business, not just sports games, but all games.

I am stunned one would think that it needs to be "improved".

can someone tell me what did they mean by "team specific Broadcast camera" like for the Giants or Rangers?

I was misled into believing this meant the fielding broadcast camera (meaning the one that you see when a ball is put in play). They mean it as the behind-the-pitcher camera. So I can imagine that in Minnesota, for instance, it will be directly in center field and slightly more overhead.

I don't like saying this, but I think sometimes there are so many people on here who say that things look fine (or beyond exceptional, for that matter) that they might not feel a need to improve on it. Normally SCEA improves on those things despite what people say about them like player models, which is a good thing... they rarely settle if they don't have to.

Hopefully the ball's release will be one of those things as well, but I have a feeling that this will be harder to fix than you think. The ball is just another programmed calculation, so I don't think it can necessarily "just come out anywhere." It has an apex and a goal to reach, and if they change it up per pitcher it might throw everything out of whack.

Wasn't David Bull the interviewer?

It was weird how it said "KillZone 3" during this portion of the show though.

No, it was Homer Somethingorother. You could see they flubbed their way through the thing. I don't know Russell, and expressions obviously vary, but it seems he was either bemused or annoyed by the whole thing...lol.

His name is Ramone Russell. David Bull was the interviewer.

oh no- still cant see the flight of the ball coming off the bat from that pitcher view.

Misled?...or more likely mistaken.

Oops, yeah... I don't want it to sound like I'm blaming them. It was my error.

Wow i just realized that this year they give you the option to turn down or turn off the the announcers. hopefully this year the commentary will be better and wont need to turn them off.

We had it last year but you needed a little known code to activate it, it was heaven to be able to shut Rex off

Nice to see its available to all this year.
