No, but the energy bar is tied to his pitch count it will dynamically update after every pitch. There will also be a little black line that lets you know when he hits the 25% energy mark.

It animates now from pitch out to intentional walk.

It's always been in the game all you had to do was hit select to see it. Confidence was also shown just not for the pitcher overall just his overall control over his pitches.

I think he just meant a toggle option, not as an "only" thing or as a default. We can disable baserunner windows, after all.

Main reason I'd like it turned off myself is because I own a plasma. Otherwise, yeah, I don't mind not having clutter (as an option for myself, of course).

Maybe i just don't have a keen eye but it all looks kind of the same to me. Except of course for few new info boxes on the screen. Would like to see some 3D grass like in NCAA but that might have to be for a future title. Can't wait to see the new broadcast presentations/stat overlays though.

The score bar, pitch info, and swing info box is completely redesigned new art. The default camera view is also a very big change from last year. It would be great if someone could take a picture using the same teams from MLB 11 so you can see side by side just how different the art is.

As far as 3D grass not going to happen anytime soon it takes up to much memory.

Here is one.

Oops not the same team but you can at least see the differences.
