Yeah, some of you seem to be so negative, because I actually thought the hit variety was VERY good. I also love the crowd reaction to the Bay HR. It reminded me of situations in real life when you're in the crowd and you see the contact and sound of the bat and you just know the ball is a HR and you let out that same disappointed sound that is portrayed in that video. I don't worry about the frames or anything because these vids are in 24-30 fps anyway and the X-Play video was super smooth so I'm not even worried.

I'd have to agree with that statement. I've frozen the vids a few times on these latest videos and it appears the bat isn't even making any sort of contact with the ball. This could be more obvious because of the missing frames in these compressed videos, but we'll have to see in the final build.

A little too much power on opposite field hits from low-n-away pitches. I have no problem with Ortiz doing that but other players, meh. Sliders can probably fix this though.

Hey Trevytrev11, thanks a bunch for the gameplay video links at gamecinemahd. Sweet videos. Some amazing catches in the outfield too.

This was my favorite video...

Eh, the more I see of this game the least I want to play it. I don't even care for the PS3 demo anymore. I was once excited but the bat-to-ball physics are just not realistic at all.

Guys are hitting balls to the opposite field and swinging as if the pitch was middle in. It just looks bad. The ball rarely looks like it's making actual contact with the ball. I'm not sure if this is a camera issue, but I noticed this in the BTP cams as well.

I'm not in love with the animations, specifically the fielding ones. A lot of the batting signature stances are not close to good. Even when a player has the right stance, there just seems something off about it all.

I do like that I've seen a good number of soft hits in the infield. I like when a guy reaches for a ball and pokes it the opposite way. Pitching animations are still incredibly solid.

It's just not enough to make me want this.

I'm a Show guy but these videos impressed me.

VC definitely has this series going in the right direction. Next year will be interesting.
