We need a stand alone Create a team mode

Youre welcome. I like the baseball texture of the cover. It looks like theres a real baseball on it rather than half a seam and some big ole splotch of color.
Not bad.

There are a couple of things that stood out to me: 1. The new PCI covers a good chunk off the plate. The underlying feature here is that it should be much easier to make solid contact on pitches thrown outside the zone 2. Assuming the game is being played with default sliders, pitch speed looks pretty slow, and that curveball was a lollipop curve, aka a bad one. Hopefully the spin tightens up with an increase in speed and/or movement... 3. Piggybacking on #2, the ball leaving the pitcher's hand and the subsequent follow-through looks buttery smooth so far 4. Generic 1, the Pillsbury dough boy chest protector, and high stirrups are still in the game 5. The generic players still look a little cartoony to me, although some of it has to do with that hideous uni combo lol

Sometime I wish this like button was like ATH where I can click like on every separate point you make.

Thats what THIS means.....

19. New silhouette bat when bunting

# 25 OUSOONERS#1 @ 01/16/13 10:15 PM

I know but looks very unrealistic to me jus my opinion~~~~

I think maybe this should have a on or off option.

Hey nem, just curious if this will be optional? I have never had any problems bunting the original way but it seems like a nice addition. Just curious if we can turn it on/off?

It could be. We dont know yet. I dont know of too many things in TS that are not optional.

It doesn't, it amazes me the things people focus on in some of these videos and such.

Russell..... We dissect EVERYTHING!

BTW.... I think Im diggin the new PCI!

# 31 OUSOONERS#1 @ 01/16/13 11:03 PM

Ill wait till I get to play the game but making the bat disappear jus seems like crazy choice when u could have jus redone the mechanic with real bat in hand.

Uhhh no one was complaining about the cover???

I'm assuming the new players cards this year are actually going to have the players picture like they showed in this DD video.

I was more than disappointed that the player cards last year had no picture of the player, just a back.... Glad this has apparently been changed! They look awesome!

# 34 LastActionHero @ 01/17/13 01:26 AM

Finally Ramone on the cover!
Well deserved man

Why because Cutch got the vote and not your boy Miggy? Looks just like all the show covers. Says the title, and shows a player. Boom.

I'm fine with it but others my not be.

I think you can actually see the bat on bunting... just that the transparency is very high. I don't think you'll be losing anything there, since we don't really have any control on the bat placement anyways.

With some batting camera, we couldn't even see the pitch release point because the bat just hides the view... something like this must have happened.

Exactly, and I think improving our ability to pull back bunts adds to the realism rather than detracts from it.

# 39 Meyeke @ 01/17/13 04:22 AM

Will the silhouette bat be visible when pitching to a bunting batter... or when viewing CPU vs. CPU in Broadcast?
That's where I could see it detracting from the visual integrity.
I do like that it happens for us when up to bat though.. nice addition. Toggle On/Off would would make everyone happy for sure though.

If I recall it just shows up for the human batter but I will check when I am there. There really is not need for it show up like that for the CPU.

For the amount of times you bunt in a game it really is not an issue. Unless you are a cheeser and bunt all over the place.
