Re: IGN Developer Commentary & Cubs/Giants Vids

here's the youtube link for those who want it. I was having issue with the IGN page for some reason.

Also, man Soriano's stance still hasn't changed with that huge step he doesn't have. And Castro's stance, what is that? I really hope that isn't whats in the final game. I get what they were going for, but it just doesn't look like his actual stance. Seems odd to get upset over a batting stance, but after the new Cano stance I feel like it can take a lot of that authentic feel right out of the game. Its front and center when you are playing so how can you not pay attention to it.

And that chopper behind the plate by Sandoval scares me. I thought the new physics were going to reduce the excessive balls chopped backwards. It happens in real life, but not even close to how often players will hit choppers backwards in the show.

Being a little nitpicky, but I don't like how Ramone keeps on referring to the Braves org as a pitching factory... They really haven't developed any studs for quite some time now lol
Has anything been said about CPU teams changing the types of players it looks for, or will each team have this predetermined specialty that they will target in players through a franchise? It would be cool if it could change, but it probably wouldn't make sense unless there were front office/managerial firings and hirings in game. Hopefully something for the future.

A great start though, hopefully it can continue to be built on moving forward. At least this development team cares about the mode and the people who play it, while other dev teams just focus mainly on online play (no offense to those who play online).

The new scouting does look awesome, and I think I can finally get immersed into the franchise mode, especially in trying to build up the Cubs.

I'm also very interested to see the new overlays/ticker in franchise mode. That will also help the immersion.

Maybe not...

Also, if you're into guess pitch, it looks like the ball flashes when you guess right (instead of the strike zone).
Didn't MVP 2005 do something similar? Prefer this to strike zone lighting up
