Of course they can go to the box but I think that will take up too much space and you won't be able to see one section of the stadium when hitting. As opposed to the bar where only the top is blocked. I think the bar is better IMO.

I hear that.

I like seeing the beautiful skies and outfield art.
I loved when madden had the scorebug on the bottom so I can see the skies!

my whole issue was Russie said this...

	The score bar, pitch info, and swing info box is completely redesigned new art.

...when actually its not much different than past Show games.
Completely redesigned would have me thinking COMPLETELY REDESIGNED.

I was expecting a TV look based on the main focus being True Broadcast Style.
To me its just same ol same ol. visually.
tis' all good. your points are fair.

As i said earlier, strike one on the overlay design.
lets see how many stat overlays there are and if the franchise menu/ui has been overhauled [bye bye newspapers, hello headline page?]
if not, I am out again this year.

To be honest, with the mention of the new 'True Broadcast Style', I never thought about the score bar being redesigned. I'm more hoping to see a lot more usage of the RTP and getting rid of a lot of the cut scenes.

gets what?
people are discussing the game.
knock it off with the smarmy comments.
you are respected here for your work with the rosters, and help with tips and tricks but you sure do a lot of belittling and making wise comments instead of contributing to threads. seriously.

edit: ghoste
i really hope cut scenes got the way of the dodo as well! long overdue and RTP has been ignored mostly since it was introduced.

I love the idea of a broadcast network by O.S. members, but always get's shut-down by SCEA and other people. I understand that would be a lot of work and would not expect that for this year, but at least THINK ABOUT the idea! Plus it would be nice have a special presentation for winning the WORLD SERIES! I mean lets go SCEA you have had the same presentation for years. I think you can switch it up now... It doesn't even feel rewarding winning the World Series. Honestly there is a bunch of things in The Show that are AMAZING, but there are also a fair amount of things that need MAJOR IMPROVEMENT! It would be nice to see that improvement in areas such as; World Series Presentation, Franchise Logic, A.I. Strategy and Logic, Manager Arguments and Dynamic Weather which includes RAINOUTS and DOUBLE HEADERS! Instead of getting the typical answer from Russell... "Not this year" or "We are not implementing that until we feel we can do it right." Well last time I checked, SCEA implemented rain.. That sure was not implemented correctly (having only 1 rain game out of 162 games for the New York Yankees).

something I would like, to teams should celebrate the end of the division series or World Series with the trophy in the field, not simply charge the pitcher on the shoulders. example, the presentation of players before the game, to feel the realism that we are in a World Series.

Listen....you want to talk about smarmy comments....look no further than your posts.
Ghoste gets that "true broadcast style" has more to do with camera cuts and the canned scenes being removed than the layout of the bar.
Do yourself a favor and worry less about how and when I post than yourself.
You police yourself and I'll police myself.

i wonder if it would be worth it for SCEA to make like 3 or 4 unique celebrations.

but then again maybe they have already, i never won the darn thing! lol

# 108 speels @ 12/31/11 01:45 AM

I peronally love the new scorebar. The scores really pop being in the teams colors, the count and outs pop in the white background and the runners on base art is way smaller and looks tight.

I do have to agree that when I heard about the True Broadcast, I was thinking more about the actual stuff in between batters. As for it being cluttered, don't all those things fall off the screen when the play is on???? Don't understand why it's such a big deal, if I want to look at the sky I will go outside.

Looks good Russell!

# 109 Eman5805 @ 12/31/11 01:46 AM

The last thing I thought of then the subject of new presentation was the actual look of the graphic supers overlay stuff. I was thinking of camera angle transitions, action zooms, and commentary being revamped. Not a spiffy new fonts and all that.

And harping on the brand being all over the place? Eh. Seems nitpicky. I admit, it breaks total immersion, but without it there'd be nothing there as there's only so many times they can use the brands they have access to or it'd be the same issue but with an actual brand going where it doesn't go at the actual stadium....and people would complain about that instead.

It's new art, if you want to accept it or not or you have a different interpretation that's another thing. The only art in that score bar that stayed the same was the font of the text.

P.S. The newspaper is still there

you know what i loved? the old fake ads from back in the day.
man those rocked.
on the ps2 they even had very closer replications of real life ads.
for example in yankee stadium they had a company called Horizon Wired, aka Verison Wireless, same logo design in the same area out in right field.

many are still there tucked away in the front office portion of franchise mode, but you wont see them in stadium.

Unfortunately not messing with it a little has some pretty major ramifications on the game. I know it's weird that you can mess with it in replay's but not for the camera's.

Hey Russ, i am just going by the screen comparison is all.
Looks close enough to me, and for me, its not much of a change.

newspaper returns?
why? can u give a reasoning behind leaving it and not going with a more modern headline page?
don't u feel its antiquated?

Couldn't agree on if we should take it out or not this year. But it will be gone in 13. However you can just tab over now and look at the new &$%&^%$&$%^#$^&%^&^&$%&$%^#$^&$%^&#$^%&#$%&#$&#$^^ &&# this small addition is something we think the franchise heads will like.

Ahhhhh......Aaron got that late change in!....Nice.

I think Aaron is going to go nuts in '13. Makes me happy as a franchise head.

what did u vote? lol

that post got all messed up, was that supposed to be a link? or like some davinci code we have to figure out?

# 117 hitstreak13 @ 12/31/11 02:06 AM

Russ,

I actually like the newspapers. I just wish they were more immersive, covering cy young race, fan feedback to bad trades, GM discussions, etc. But I wish it weren't leaving

hitstreak is old school!
:0
i love the idea of newspapers if done right.
i mean is there anything more newspapery in sports then baseball?

my beef is its just too bare and bland.
in madden 07 each team had a newspaper, all REAL papers by the way.
if they had that, it would be all good.
I'd pour a bowl of cereal and read my in game article and box score.
