Here are my reasons for thinking a possible earlier release date:

- It technically would be a big announcement, and would be something worth revealing at a later date (and for good reason, to make sure its competition can't get a leg up on them).
- It's not gameplay-related, and it is not a feature.
- Nemesis asked to think "outside the box." He also said we were "going in the wrong direction." Going in reverse order, chronologically, would mean to go "earlier."
- Brett said March can't come soon enough (doesn't specify March 8th, so maybe March 1st?).
- The trailer said to "pre-order now" in the second half of the trailer, but also doesn't say a date (if you're going to tell them to pre-order, you might as well also tell them the date... unless you are concealing it).
- They're asking you to look hard for something, but they never ask you to look for what is there... more of what isn't there. Heck, the trailer on the Moneyball Blu-ray disc even says March 8th.

Not just a wild guess on my end, that is. It might even have to do with pre-ordering itself, like there is a special edition (or something) that you get for pre-ordering.

Heck, they might even shoot for this to be a Vita launch title if they can. Earlier release dates aren't something that haven't been done before, but it certainly would amp people up a lot more quickly.
Until I saw Nemesis's subsequent post, I thought this might be true because one of the hints he gave was "Nothing gets you closer"

Ah, that was the other clue I was going to add, but I decided to stop sifting through his posts.

I still think legends have come back into this game, though.

Sorry.

It's quite alright, actually. I never used them anyway.

Another big reason I thought it was an earlier release date is when I made the post saying that I would just "wait and see," and nemesis said that I disappointed him the most, maybe because I ironically spoke against what it was going to be (less of a wait, that is).

Too bad it's not it though lol.

Based on the "nothing gets you closer" hint, I've figured it out...

Spoiler


You're welcome fellas.

I was actually thinking that Sony had finally figured out Smellevision.

You can let us know how it turns out! We'll take your word for it!

I went back and watched the "Nothing Gets You Closer" trailer for The Show 09 game, to see if anything correlates from that video to this one. The only thing remotely that I can see is the awkward standing up, reaching down tag from the catcher at the end of that video to the slick new turn around and slide back towards the plate and apply the tag towards the end of the new one. That might have been in last year's game and I just never saw it though. Great trailer, no matter what.

The third base coach following the ball? He looks up when the ball hits the third base and deflected in the air.


I hope someone collects all pieces of hits that nem has given us so far. I've been following the thread (subscribing via email) but there are so many noises that I don't remember everything he said!!

Maybe it's a new way that you can record gameplay replay videos with some better camera angles. I know that somewhat fits within the "feature" bill, but one problem with this game's replay record feature is you can't use any sort of preset camera angles, and you have to work with the roam-and-lock way of doing things. Maybe that low "broadcast-ish" camera we're seeing over and over is just one of those presets, if not the only one, and we can use it to record.

Maybe a full on 7th inning stretch?

Facebook integration?

As the equipment guy I gotta say things look promising....

Black cleats are finally black.
It appears that two sleeves can be worn (eg Maybin's right arm)
Looks like there's a new lowtop cleat. (Looks like I'll have fun with some of the color paneling)
The default rosters look to have a decent amount of editing already but I'm already taking mental notes of things that need changing.
 
# 292 econoodle @ 01/26/12 12:52 AM
with all the eagle eyed and neurotic Show fans here, I am shocked this hasn't been guessed yet.


I am guessing its a presentation thing.
 
# 293 slickkill77 @ 01/26/12 12:53 AM
Two colored sleeves were confirmed by the Community Day guys ala BJ Upton: One loose top sleeve and a tight under/compression sleeve.

And here I thought playing the previous version of The Show after the '10 & '11 Community Day's were tough, lol

Then there's Pulse Pitching... For someone that tried and never got into Analog (except for Fielding - love Analog fielding) I was ready for a change in Pitching (Meter guy)... I fell into Pulse Pitching right away - extremely well done and those that complained about Walks, you'll definitely see them using this pitching method!
My sentiments exactly.

First person view.

Just sayin.
 
# 296 EnigmaNemesis @ 01/26/12 02:01 AM
Nope!

Though for move controls that would be kinda near in RttS.
 
# 297 Blzer @ 01/26/12 02:18 AM
How about a PS3/Vita bundle package? We've still been awaiting some sort of announcement on that where we can get a deal on having both of them, but it hasn't yet happened.

Announcements will be coming on that as well. They are finalizing everything.

I like the sound of that.

I noticed at Fenway the banner on the wall says "Fenway Park 99th Anniversary" but this season will be the 100th anniversary of Fenway Park. Either that's an epic misprint or it's eluding to the possibility to playing old games or recreating history. Hence the banner also saying "Baseball, Forever." Just my two cents. I'm probably way off.

This has been in the game for a while.
