Ramone says: Pitch speeds will be faster than they've ever been at the higher difficulty levels.

A lot of focus/discussion on user vs. user head-to-head games, based on streamer content. They watched a lot of streaming games with two human players playing against each other.

I love that not onlyh did he bobble the ball but the throw was off too. Way too many perfect throws in the past.

Video showing Lucroy, Cozart and Simmons at shortstop for the Angels to show players playing out of position vs. players at their primary position.

Lucroy is bad with a very small green area on the throw meter, Cozart is just fine, as SS is his secondary position, and Simmons is a stud. Pretty straight forward.

Listening to these guys talk, how can anyone doubt they don't care and aren't trying to deliver the best game possible.

The same speed as 18 for the lower levels?

Did they happen to show the new button accuracy meter?

I love these bad jump animations

Yes...it looks similar to what it's looked like in the past. It has red, yellow and green sections. One of the devs did say that the input is different this year...I missed the exact description of what he meant.

Now they are showing the ball off the wall ribbon. The ribbon path is based on defender ratings. You see more if your fielder is better. Surface types make a difference on how the ball reacts off the wall (padding, netting, brick, etc.).

I don't think I have ever heard anyone argue they don't care about the game. The argument which I personally feel is 100% accurate is that they don't care about franchise or offline players

The Fielder animations are looking buttery smooth folks. And the urgency looks better too.

They finally blocked Twitch here at work.
