Don't know if I should point out the lighting again, but you can see it clear as day that the earlier video showed a nice bit of shadowing before the center field wall (and it was actually progressing quite seamlessly, with shots in innings 1 - 3), and once it hit the fourth inning with this video it seems to have completely gone in shade, or something.

If it's resolved for retail, then there's no problem here and we can "move along, folks."

Thanks for all these videos...question though - did you jack the errors slider up for the video?

I thought Felix was gonna drop another one at the end...

I liked the error on the hit to right field better because it was more believable as opposed to the one in left where it was totally random on a routine fly. Good to see the ball squirting away from the catcher.

On another note, I cannot believe how god awful that base running icon setup looks in the bottom right. They used to have a great setup there visually speaking. Those runners on rails remind me of old baseball board games.

These look nice

Did you notice how late he got himself set up to make the catch in the left field error? I am under the impression that not setting himself played a part in that error? I don't mind that as long as the guys are not dropping routine balls all game long.

Yeah but he was still in the set position under the ball when it popped out. I would have liked if it happened while he was still running to make the attempt when it happened. I see what you are saying though. Also, I did not like that he just stood there after he dropped it, he never looked back towards it. Small details.

Adding former Cubs to your roster is probably not the best way to remedy that.

Pretty believable errors there. At least the ball squirting away from the catcher looks more natural then in previous versions of this game.

Maybe it was the footsteps from the CF making his way over, and not calling him off in time like the poster above said. If that is the case, I am cool with the misplay.

It said called off. No?

The left fielder might have looked him off for a split second and just dropped the ball. I watched it again and it's more believable the 2nd time.

Okay, I will just be happy errors occur in the outfield. Something that really bothers me in the show.

# 13 stealyerface @ 02/21/09 01:13 PM

I would have loved to see the collision actually... I wonder what type of collision detection they have this year. Last year was pretty good for outfielders, so I wonder what they have in store for us this year?

# 14 SwinginAs12 @ 02/21/09 01:19 PM

These last two videos are great, making me want more and more.

I wish i could sleep until march 3rd, get up, drive to gamestop and pickup my reserved copy.

The bears do it throughout the season so you could too technically

# 20 slimcranky @ 02/21/09 06:51 PM

The more I see the more i don`t like what i see.It is looking very much like last year.2 or 3 errors happening in 1 inning, pitcher composure going up the roof.
