Because Presentation is one of the major things this game is known for.

I really think this game should be able to produce more on-screen stuff by this point: stats like career vs., count-specific stats, month stats, historical stuff that shows the game is tracking players and franchises.
I think we all need to relax and enjoy one of the best sports game of all time!
Really not sure what people are expecting here. 10 was arguably the best sports game of all-time, yet people want to see something completely different in 11? Doesn't make any sense.
Anyways, personally, I know that to get a full scope of the gameplay improvements, especially in this series, I have to actually PLAY the game. So much of the year-to-year improvements are tied to feel with The Show that I'm not gonna judge harshly based on a video. Besides, I have nothing negative to say. Game looks stupid realistic, lighting is out-of-this-world, stances and deliveries aren't perfect but more than good enough (and better than any game's done in any baseball game) and just through a video, gameplay improvements are evident (like the aforementioned missed ball by the outfielder).
Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but I'm just not really understanding what people's expectations are when it comes to annual sports game releases. Even the commentary isn't as bad as this poorly edited video shows. I look forward to release day anxiously.

If only SCEA could have a blockbuster trade sending EK and Soup to 2k for their commentary.
Like noted by everyone else, they do not talk with each other. Seems very...weird.

They were talking to each other when we were there. Not to the level people are expecting, but far more than edited video can attest to.

Hmmm...
I actually hate to say it, but I agree with all of this - I am a lil' disappointed in seeing this video. I really wish I wasn't, but I am.
I already preordered and will be picking up the game anyway, but all I can say is, "wow - hmm..?"
I liked what I saw. New player models look great. Only thing that stuck out negative wise is the catchers stances. Would love to see more varied stances than just one. I also think they could do a better job of having the catcher set up on the corners.
Other than that, I'm super pumped for the demo tomorrow.

The quality of the graphics and audio were in and out for me....almost like hi-res..then low res...back and forth.
Now...indeed this video was poorly put together. Very "rushed"....and is not indicative(IMO) of the actual look of the gameplay at all.
...and neither here nor there with the actual commentary(whether you can't stand it or not).....but that also contributed to it sounding pretty poor.
Like bodhiball said...not the best effort that could have been put forth to showcase the product. I'll agree with that.

Some nice things that would change up this game's "look" that we're used to:
- Add a slight, slight delay after contact. I know we had a debate on this last year; some people argued that it's eliminating your ability to react to where the ball is going to go because of the short time taken in the delay, but my argument could be I know exactly where it's going as a result of the delay. Seeing that contact IMO would be a thing of beauty, just watching that ball launch before it really does go over the fence. Even if there was an option for what kind of ms delay we would have, that would be very nice.
- Remove any "unrealistic" cameras. That is, since it is impossible for a camera man to walk onto the field, walk on thin air, walk on water, etc... that camera shouldn't exist with the exception of specific gameplay cameras (like hitting and fielding, and obviously the new customizable cameras). For any cut scenes or replays, it would be very nice if they only had stationary cameras which would really exist throughout the stadium. They can't literally pan, they can only rotate and zoom. I believe MVP had this, I believe the 2K series might have this as well... this game could benefit from this as well. Even a realistic broadcast camera (like the one you see in HRD, as one single consistent more highly raised and centered broadcast cam) would be nice.
- Changing up the color palette. One could argue they should just do it for the sake of difference even if the colors are accurate
but a lot of them are not. I could post numerous real life examples of this versus the game (mainly with the dirt, grass, and walls), but I hope you can just take my word for it that this is the case.
Remember, there are some things in this game that have been planted since MLB 2005. In some ways this is a good thing since they never remove options, but it is often okay to differentiate your product from what it used to be if you really do have something better. The player models, stances, faces, HUD's, interfaces, and lighting are really helping freshen the "look" of this game every year. I get it, this game is phenomenal so it's not really worth any bickering anyway. The biggest visual issue this game has IMO is that they are already too good for their own good. It's never good just to change for changing's sake, but if you can find the little things that still need an upkeep to go with the rest of the game's visual awesomeness, they are probably worth looking into. These are a few of them here.

Pretty much ever sports game I've played over the past few years have a commentary volume setting. So every game company must know their commentary sucks? Just because the Show gives option (And I believe this was asked for by the gamers) to turn off individual commentators doesn't mean jack.
The commentary probably is the weak link but in the grand scheme of things The Show is still the best out there by far.
