Mark,

You are going to crap when you see what they've done. I can still see Nate Mclouth running back to the wall, looking over his shoulder as the ball goes over his head and bounces off the wall. Sweet.

The funniest thing about all this is going to be the collective "meh" the demo gets from the guys who went on this trip, while the rest of us are all fawning over it until release day.

Tons of new animations, but I didn't hit a batter. There's a cool one where the batter falls to one knee when he's really fooled on a breaking pitch. There's a cool one where the catcher takes one in the gonads, goes down to both knees, puts his face to the ground and the ump calls time. It lasts about 15 seconds and is pretty funny.

Oh, Thome got hit, slammed his bat down, started up the line and turned around to yell back in at the other dugout, picked up his bat, then threw it down again and walked to first in disgust.

If you like presentation, trust me, this game has it. A batter swung and threw his bat into the stands, put his hands on top of his head like "oh, my god, hope that doesn't hit anyone".

The ivy in Wrigley field in April? There is none, a bunch of vines with no leaves, all brown.

That's it for me fellas. Appears Pared still hasn't beat LEGEND mode. Hope he doesn't miss his flight in the morning.

Wait...are you saying they captured that in the game?

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

I was thinking the exact same thing. That would be freakn amazing if they did. Im about to have a heart attack.

Thank you Jim for all of you input. It is greatly appreciated

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

No, I didn't beat Legend mode. Close, 3-2. Made some bad decisions at the plate and it really should have been 2-2 but I can't speak on why! Damn it!

Either way, today was a complete blast. Legend mode is manageable but when you lose it, if you don't manage things well you're done!

I got lots of jersey stuff and impressions coming up. I'll try and put together my thoughts tonight.

Oh, the BSG comments got way out of hand. I said you'll some some very, very minor exaggerations on a few players... but overall they were extremely well done.

Span from the Twins was probably my favorite. Just incredible.

What he's saying is....it's brown in early April.....gets patchy green a few weeks later.....and then turns a beautiful green for the summer.

....oh and the batter's eye section got some major loving. I spoke to one of the stadium guys....who is also a big Cubs fan. He's going to get even more fixes in for future versions.

Another great note.
When the CPU rests players....it will now re-work the lineup.
No more seeing Wilson Betimet hitting third in the lineup when Alex Rodriguez got a day off. HUGE!

(thanks Kolbe)
