I think all these free agent signings and trades are going to take a little bit for the shots to come out since we just got some. But I hope I am wrong, I'm interested to see players with new gear on.

Ramone.... any news as to batting gloves under fielding gloves, and on runners on basepaths?

Also can sleeves colors be changed?

I just hope one is fixing manage mode so the cpu stops managing for the human player.

After that, I don't much care.

yea, i didnt see many of those changes being that big in madden 09, but they did release a list at the time and they did have that many additions, tweaks and changes.
I dont think SCEA had a big number to shoot for, i think they just dug in to make the best baseball game ever and when the smoke cleared 70 things were implemented.
I fully expect this to be a mind blowing year for MLB The Show.

Will these 14 new Umpires all look different?

Well I'm from Missouri and they are going to have to show me. I've provided a detailed list of things broken in manage mode and years go by with the same problems unaddressed. I suspect in the bugs and glitches thread I will again cut and paste the previous bugs and glitches.

There are a lot of things to like about the game, visually it is spectacular but a couple weeks of programming devoted to fixing manage mode would do wonders for my perception of the game.

Yes for the batting gloves under fielding gloves as an option.

There are two more shoe options
We have the new concussion helmet that all minor league players will wear this year.
We have compression sleeves this year
We have wrist braces
There are new ball cap bill options: Flat, Semi flat, curved very curved, etc.
There are new elbow brace options as well

Is this the new, smaller version helmet or the larger "gonzo" helmet?

Smaller, that Marvin the martian helmet D.Wright was wearing would have been funny to see in the game though.

i also noticed the ability to wear sunglasses on the hat. And are my eyes playing tricks or are there fans roaming the grassy knoll at the ballpark in arlington?

No Marvin the Martian helmet? You guys gotta get it together. I'm sure millions of people are just dying to recreate Looney Tunes characters in The Show.

When the minor league players come up to the bigs will they switch over the the older style helmet or will they keep the new model? Just curious because I know baseball is hopefull that more players keep the new model after getting used to them in the minors.

FYI. In the new CBA, at the start of the 2013 season, all players must wear these new helmets. No grandfathering or nothin'.

Interesting, I had not heard that. I always thought that that sports grandfathered in new equipment mandates. Side note, Julio Franko doesn't have to use the ear flaps if he doesn't want to because of grandfather rules.
