Wasn't that the case with Steve Kerr several years ago?

Edit: Yep!

(it's wiki of course, but this ought to be able to be verified on this forum by anyone who played the game)

Can confirm. Steve Kerr talking about Steve Kerr was a thing.

Will this be the year they finally remove the scene of relief pitcher dropping his glove when he gets to the mound? It totally drives me nuts!

I say no. Why do I have this feeling it is an inside joke with the dev team...knowing it drives most players crazy! LOL!!!

I already saw it in one of the videos. Pitcher was walking up on the mound, glove upside down in his hand (and then it cut off), so, I'm guessing it's sadly still there.

Doesn't bother me that it's still in, just wish they would add a few new scenes every year to add some variety instead of sticking with the same 2 or 3 for years and years. But that's my opinion on alot of the presentaion scenes in the show.

Edit: one thing i would like to see improved with commentary/presentation is that the first time through the lineup we get a fair bit of contextual commentary about what the player did last game or has done during the season, but for the rest of the game the commentary just seems to fall into the same routine where we only get basic info/stats for the players current game like hit a single or popped out last at bat. Would be great if we could get some of that contextual commentary randomly mentioned in later at bats. Also just some basic stuff like if there is a risp what is the hitters/pitchers avg with a risp this season ect.

Are we certain HR is out of the game altogether? It just seems a little odd that they didn't say that he was replaced by DeRo. I may be reading too much into it but I guess we'll find out Thursday.

I think in the trailer it said joins matt and dan in the box, no mention of HR.

Yeah. Like I said I'm probably reading too much into it but it just seems odd that HR was only in the booth for one cycle.

I think Steve_SDS liked a couple of the posts early in this thread speculating about how Harold decided not to return. That spells it out to me. There's not going to be 3 color guys in the same booth anyway, lol.

I would have liked to see more about the presentation features that are new this year, they mentioned about Crowds going home if it is a blow out, I wonder if this is for team performance as well, and this year we will see Miami seats all empty. and if a really bad team has a surprise run that all of a sudden the stadium fills up. And that weekends and Sundays nights the stadiums are sell outs. but on a Tuesday day game it looks dead

That's basically how it's going to go. Ramone also mentioned in the IGN video from a couple of weeks ago that you'll see people in the crowd lining up and filing out during blowouts.

Well, they still have the Thursday Twitch stream to do. I'm sure they will flesh out things a bit more. I actually prefer to get a little tease on Monday and the main course on Thursday. When they do the longer vids on Monday, it sucks all the air out of the Twitch stream (like last week).

that sounds awesome, also to go with this hope the atmosphere comes into play with this as well. so that the sound of the crowd isn't sounding like 80k people in Miami in the 9th innings like it does now when their is only 5k there

same goes for Post season.

Gotcha. I didn't notice that. Yeah I was hoping there was still a chance we would have two teams.
