Yes as long as it is optional. I use auto fielding so this would work for me.

The new scorebug does look great. I do see a few things it could benefit from:

1. After each pitch, flash the pitch speed and type (for example - "81 MPH CH"). If real estate is an issue place it where the count is for a second and then switch back to the count, like a lot of TV scorebugs do. This should display regardless of whether pitch callout is on or off. I want to play with pitch callout OFF but still have the speed/type flash in the scorebug.

2. Show the pitch count (NESN scorebug shows this). Ideally would even be broken down by balls/strikes. Maybe just add a little section to the right side of the bug:

S: 27
B: 17
T: 44

3. Not really sure about this one because it's not really consistent with TV scorebugs but it would be nice to see at a glance that there is a burner on base. For example, if there is a fast runner on first or second have a little foot icon on the yellow on-base indicator. I guess we can already see this in the runner windows but it's always kinda bugged me that the runner window information is not available for a runner at second base.

These things along with being able to turn all other OSDs off (which is great!) would make for a great immersive exp. IMO

Agree on the pitch speed and type, we should be able to see them like real TV braodcasts have. Prior versions always had that. Is this just because the OSD were off?

One thing I'm missing is the cutscenes that really improved the authenticity of the game first in MLB 12 - The Show. For example when pitchers leave the mound after a pitch and come back or batters swing the bat a couple of times and so on. I hope they've not taken it out because it made the game a lot more TV-like than before...

Been waiting for this sooooo long Or at least better physics and stuff? I know they had better physics last year but it was still miles behind PYS. Anyway, I'll probably skip The Show 13 and only buy PYS 2013 this year. I'll wait for the next-gen The Show which hopefully will be The Show 14

I hope they dummy down the hitting too much. I think it was just right. This is coming from a man who team is batting .230 as team on veteran hitting. And love it. 3 players in my starting lineup batting over .275, but 3rd in the NL w/29HRS thru 51gms.

Would love the Pitch Count on the scorebug or somewhere else shown at all times!

You guys will love it.
(hitting....I got pre-empted by yet another tnixen "pitch count" request in between posts...sorry)

I think we've found this years "cow in Turner Field"....
...or the guy who was always asking about that irrelevant(I cannot remember who) Braves(?) player.
