The inning I captured wasn't the most eloquent one in regards to fielding. I find the player movement solid for the most part. In one game I had the third baseman charge a bunt, gloved it up smooth looking transition to the throwing arm and across the diamond. Looks great. Going to play a bit more tonight and see if I can capture some better stuff. The two posted videos were captured quickly

Wow... just wow, this is going to be a LONG freaking five days. Some of the things I noticed.

1) They really butchered the Ballpark in Arlington. Some of the things like the Majestic billboard in center going all the way across like the real Budweiser one are nice touches, but the "Globe Life Park in Arlington" sign where the media sit is completely wrong. They pimped out the name of the Ballpark, but they didn't change the font like they have in the game. Second, the flags are way too huge. There are nearly forty flags above the adds in center field, and now they are all Texas flags. The flags above the main scoreboard are, in order from left to right, the American League flag, a Texas Rangers flag, the American flag, the Texan flag, the City of Arlington flag, and a National League flag. It would be better to remove them than to have those huge flags out there. For reference...

And to the inevitable poster that's going to come on here and say something to the tune of "then don't buy it" or "who cares", thank you for your valuable input in advance.

2) This game looks really, really good. You can tell that it's heavily influenced by the PS3 version, but that's okay. The players and their movements look so fluid and everything looks really crisp. I saw some poster talking about the lighting being wrong or something earlier... I think this is the best that the game has ever looked. What a bang up job by the folks at SCEA San Diego.

3) I was skeptical of generated pitch counts, but after watching this I think that I will use it in my franchise at least. I really like the way that they did it. It's not over the top, and it flows well with the game.

4) I love the "Yuuuuuu da man" sign

I agree with the flags, but that seems to be the same in every stadium so you're not alone there. I wish they could have found a way to mix up the flags. No offense to anyone, but 10,000 American flags will only get you so far. (Check AT&T Park).

As a fan living in Arlington I agree with you my man! The reason the "Globe Life Park" looks like that because it's not licensed so SECA just made there version I guess of the sign. But I'm not really worried about that. The main thing was commissioner boxes and the flags in center that you talked about but it's a good start! They didn't have Elvis's beard tho:/

# 26 RLebron12 @ 05/01/14 06:55 PM

Agreed ShowTyme! I would of rather they just put 1 American flag and remove all the others than add hella American flags when they are supposed to be a California flag than NL West pennant flags.

They probably didn't have any reference photos to use either. So they did what they could as you just mentioned.

I would like for them to work on the presentation and in-game commentary (sounds stale at times) for next year. What's the point of showing a comparison of the starting pitchers with no stats accumulated. Same goes with the starting lineup on opening day. Show us something different for opening day for example. Maybe you can compare stats from last year. Like the cut scenes of the fans holding up signs and cheering on their team. Would like to see more of this stuff in the game for next year.

The fly ins were in the fact sheet a while ago but it seems like they have been taken out for some reason.

Am I the only one who thinks the player's hair looks weird. Yu Darvish being the example in this video. I am only watching these videos on a laptop but even on other trailers I thought some of the models had weird looking hair.

I think they look way better than before, and way better than the hair looks on the PS3 version. I'm sure it will only get better!

Compare the tooth pick legs in the video and these...

# 32 Factzzz @ 05/03/14 11:01 PM

Darvish hasn't had hair like that, or really a beard like that since his rookie year in 2012. He also looks too big/strong.

Just doesn't really look like him to me.
