I can't get over this screen shot. I honestly have never seen a screen shot in a sports title that looked so real. Well done SCEA, well done.

I'm not kidding. 2 days ago we were under a winter storm warning, today, I am looking for Spring Training games on the television and arguing with any calendar that tells me its December.

its been stated that they run into issues while trying to change the player models.

everything looks great, but i have two problems with the yankees screenshot.

1- the outfield wall in the new stadium are not gonna be light blue(might be wrong)

2- the scoreboards on the outfield walls are suppose to be manual scoreboards not digital like it shows in the pic, other than that everything looks awesome!!!

btw is it just me or do the players look more realistic?? saw the first pic and i thought that was a real pic of the WS.

Kolbe and some others tested out many different usb headsets and all of them worked. Also bluetooth headsets work and so does the mic from rockband.

Sounds/looks incredible.

BUT... I do have one gripe.

Those player models still look the same (weird shoulders, etc). I thought they were redoing those?

I can live with it either way, but thought I shoudl bring it up.

Does this mean we can use those uploaded custom rosters online?????
