I was hesitant to watch the blog, but my god.. that was beautiful.
What was first catious optimism has changed into praise.
SCEA has really outdone themselves this year and they have theirselves a buy in my book (as if I was going to go the entire year without a baseball game anyway.. HA).
Extremely impressed by the video and enhancements.
Two big things I take away from this that stand out to me (little things).
The foul ball hit at Target Field was a "perfect" example of how an outside pitch that is hit with the correct swing and timing should react in-flight. It's seemed (up to now) that the timing of the swing and pitch location didn't always matter like it should. Gameplay is most important to me and that was beautiful.
Secondly, the camera views for the ball off-the-bat are phenomenal. That is exactly what I would love to see for ALL modes -- not just RTTS.
I think this may have been answered somewhere b4 but I can't exactly remember the answer. Can u change the one-handed/two-handed swing follow through/homerun animation for the pro players too or are they fixed so u can't change them. Just curious cuz I know in previous years some pros had a one-handed follow through when in RL it was the opposite. It would be nice to change if they are wrong from the get go. Thanks much! Later
As an RttS guy, this had me extremely excited. So glad they fixed the camera issues while running the bases. So I know what I will be doing for the next few weeks...Extremely excited...

Yes, that's the idea.. you can change anybody's follow through. I think some may be locked based on the animation (if it won't work with the other type), but for the most part you can change from two-handed to one-handed and visa versa.
Great blog and really excited for RTTS this year. I like the direction of having on-field sounds, and I think it'll really add to the "feeling" of being there. Also that was a nice touch having the ROTY presentation before the game.
Are the follow through, walkup, practice swing, stride, take pitch, and take pitch stride options only for RTTS players? Or can you edit these like you can edit real player's batting stances?
