Looking good as usual.
Diamond Dynasty, love the name! Can't wait for some info.

Hmm, the "Controller Calibration" option looks interesting. It might allude to how people sometimes naturally shoot a bit more towards one o'clock when using their thumb on the right stick for something they anticipate to go straight up the middle (and perhaps the same with the left stick). That, or it might have to do with six-axis control or overall TV input lag timing.
It was tough to hear the game itself, but I could definitely hear some different sounds off the bat. I can also see a new kind of way that the ball is reacting once it's hit off the bat with certain spins, plus how it takes hops off the ground. Didn't get a chance to see choppers or bloopers in this video, but the only disappointing looking hit was the first Mayberry foul ball (I don't know if that kind of hit is possible in real life, and it's been present in this game for a little while). Everything else looked great.
Speaking of hitting, it also looks like we have a better range of good contact this year. The CPU was batting during it, but when Stubbs lined out to left, he definitely went down for the pitch... something that wasn't too common to do in the previous games. Also, the umpires seem to be calling wider strikes, which probably opens up our window of hitting a bit more (provided that we put the PCI in the right spot).
I'm totally digging the new TBP elements! I have no idea why 2K Sports ripped all of that between pitch stuff out after 2K9, because I personally thought it was so fascinating. I'm glad to see it translated over here. I wonder how many in-between cut variations there are, especially if they start talking about a player that's in the field or in the dugout or something.
Also, somebody says the gloves aren't closing. They are, including the catcher's glove.
Finally, this might be analyzing the video a bit too much, but I had a tough grasp on what time of day this game was being played at. Based on some of the field lighting, lack of cloud cover, and the way the ball came to the plate etc. (plus the helmet reflections), I would say that it's a night game. But in the fifth inning, it was still pretty light. I think the CBP clock also said 8:30 at one point as well. Maybe they're still tweaking the lighting progression, so it all wasn't in this build or something.

Remember there will be the Move support as well, and that thing certainly needs calibration.
Bah, totally forgot about the Move! I have to start asking questions about that in the gameplay concerns thread!

did anybody notice if the catcher(s) still all looked mike lavalliere (big belly) because of the chest guard?

When you pause the video @ 4:23 the catcher's gear floats off his back(also noticeable on his leg gear). I know that's been in there for ages, BUT just curious, is it a console limitation? Not a game breaker by any means but still takes away a bit from the immersion haha...
btw game looks amazing...

As for the wider range of good contact, I would completely agree. I spoke of Ryan Howard's opposite field hit quite a few posts back and how nice it looked. My first thought when I saw that hit was that he went down to get it. It's a small sample size, but opposite field hitting looks to be improved. Here's to hoping you can't hit opposite field HRs on fastballs up and in.
On another note: did any notice the slide into third by Mayberry on his "triple?" I could be wrong, but is that a new feet first sliding animation?

So far the game looks awesome.

I could be wrong but I noticed that the catcher's mask looks updated. It doesn't look like the generic design from years past. It looks more RL.

There are about 6 individuals headed to Sony that will be going over graphical concerns next week at the home offices of San Diego Studios and directly collaborating with developers. I think you've made your point enough where you don't have to spam every single thread about it.
I know many are NOT looking forward to discussing because of the simple fact that you felt the need to post about it 135 times in the past few weeks when EVERYONE has seen your posts and get the point.

Game does not come out for well over 2 months.
You have plenty of time to preorder and/or cancel.
Even if someone saw Target now, and it is not "changed". Does not mean it won't be. This is not the most recent build. New builds go out practically hourly.
