Re: New Screenshots!

Clothing physics look better this year... The Zambrano pic for example... folding and shadowing like jersey's/pants should.

Screens look great to me when clicked full-size... to each their own I guess.

Re: New Screenshots!

the screenshots are just okay....but have you guys read the detailed info on that page? A lot of what we already know, but a bit more in depth and the first mention (that I know of) of "crowd rivalries", and some serious boasting about their player signature styles....

Re: New Screenshots!

I am goint say all of the screens looked fine. Last years title looked great to me and I am sure this year will not disappoint. Besides, I am more interested in the gameplay at this point - the graphics are already up there as far as I am concerned.

Re: New Screenshots!

WTF!!!???

I come in here to read more opinions on the screenshots and I read:

* one guy telling people to keep their opinions to themselves basically

* one guy wanting to slap people and knock zits off their faces

* And two guys having a pissing contest about the Yankees

WTF Happened?

Geez whiz folks.

How was i having a pissing contest about the yankees? The guy commented on my signature and i said the yankees didnt do good in 08 but the future looks promissing and that's it.

looks good to me. dont know what the fuss is all about. people nic pickin about textures and what not like its a easy job. if its that easy, go there and show them how its done. now as for the cubs uni, i can understand because the logo do look type big, but all this other little stuff...i mean really. besides they are most likely from a early built anyway. we probably wont be getting screens from the final built until february some time so relaaaxxxx and just be thankful that the game even looks this good as of then.

Re: New Screenshots!

I think the screenshots look great.

Also, looks like the catchers won't be tossing their masks this year either. Oh well.

I don't know whether they will or won't this year, but it's very unwise for a catcher to take off his mask for a potential play at the plate. In that regard, he is making the right choice leaving it on.




By the way, this is very small and I don't know if it was in last year's game, but if you look to the far right above the bullpen in this shot:




You see fans hanging about. Again, I don't know if they're just statically placed fans that have been there in last year's game as well, or if this is perhaps an indication of some more walking about, or at least standing room fans. That would be nice to see, especially somewhere like AT&T Park.

and how often does a catcher KNOW there will be a play at the plate?
With the old masks, catchers are taught to take the mask off as soon as the ball is hit, there is no certain way to know if there will be a play at the plate or not.

The new masks are a different story, yet a majority of catchers still throw them off.


I would agree that with a runner on second and two outs, on a ball singled to right, there is a decent chance at somesort of a play at home, but how often is there a collision??

Re: New Screenshots!

it looks like they have different follow-through swings if you look at zambrano's swing....

Excellent pick up, friend.

I still stand by my opinion, but I may be wrong. That's how I have coached it for the past six years... that the mask only needs to come off for a ball in the dirt (passed ball included) or to back up a play. I don't know if that's correct, but I've always said that there is nothing but a safety advantage to having your mask on (which is the most important thing for the girls, I suppose).

i can somewhat agree with that. I don't know what level softball you coach, but I have coached at both the college (DIII) and high school baseball levels which neither allow for collisions at the plate. Thus, I have always taught to take the mask off immediately as it serves no purpose for being on after the pitch. But I also have no problem with the teaching of leaving it on for safety's purpose.


but at any level of pro baseball leaving the mask on is nothing but a hindrance.



but sorry about being off topic...I like the screenshots and can't wait!!
