Here is one.

Oops not the same team but you can at least see the differences.

As far as 3D grass not going to happen anytime soon it takes up to much memory.

love the new score bar. It takes less real estate as well.

I don't know if it's just the camera, but it looks like the corner outfielders close the gaps a little bit more than they used to, as opposed to hugging the lines as much.

If that's even the case, hopefully [alongside the new ball physics] this will mean more groundballs down the line will slow up for extra bases, and the only balls that can split the gaps are the liners.

That is the new PCI graphic.

Awesome eye candy! The lighting looks so life-like

Absolutely love the new runners on base part to the score overlay. Last years just took up way too much room and didn't look TV like. The new one looks exactly like one that you would see on TV. Definitely a much better score overlay this year. Pictures are looking good.

Not happening.

ok, thanks for the answer. I completley understand why you have all the info on the screen, I was just hoping for the option to turn it on or off. no big deal.

I definetly like the new camera angle. I played with an angle very similar to this last year and I loved it. Also, it looks like the players model has been improved because A-Gone looks so much better.

I also love the new condensed HD score bar and the bases graphic looks identical to what the major broadcast networks use ...BRAVO BRAVO

Too much memory? Really? I am not doubting you by any means but your programmers seem to really nail their sport as opposed to that football game and they have some 3D grass and 11 on 11 on the field doing totally different stuff all the time.

Perhaps removing a few thousand fans per stadium, mascots that are barely seen and few other things could free up some "memory". In all do respect I think it's more about priorities and figuring out a way to make it look good all the time and not just in replays.

I mean look how much better your game looks and plays nice 08. I say you guys figured out how to push some memory limits, no?

I think your right it does look like the players models have been improved again this year!

Those days with the T Rex Arms and Wide Shoulders are long gone!

Something you guys need to understand (hopefully one day) is one development team and project has nothing to do with another. You can't compare oranges to coconuts. A football game having 3D grass has no bearing what so ever on how this game is developed or how resources are used.

It's the same skeleton from last year.

In game screenshots look great as always. I really hope they've improved the menu UI and franchise mode UI because the in-game stuff is so slick but that side of things is terrible, imo. And as somebody else mentioned (#20) stat screens and overlays with 3D grass.

Trick of the eye I guess

Russell is that thing on the bottom right side with the Plate, Pitch Type and MPH new? Or is that in MLB 11 The Show?

Also I was thinking you could put the pitchers Pitch Count right on that thing too
