That would be great. Somehow I doubt it though. It'd also be nice if we could throw in Thunderstruck when the Sox took the field

Obviously there are some things that you guys can't discuss because of the NDA.

With that said, do you feel that there is anything that falls under that category that makes you very excited?

Not looking for specifics, more "yes or no".

YES!!!

There's plenty to be excited about. Every single one of us talked about going through withdrawals and how we can't go back to '08.

I won't touch upon too much because of the vast things the NDA covers. But as time goes on we'll be able to talk about different things.

The gameplay is what gets me so excited.. I'm more a between the lines kinda guy and the game certainly did not disappoint. At all.

One amazing play I had... 2 strikes in the close game that I lost in legend with first and third... still tried to force the bunt down b/c I needed to move the runners over with no outs. Down 3-2... pitch comes in and I make contact but the bunt runs down the first base line... barely goes over so Kotchman hits the ball with his bare hands, while it is foul, further into foul territory. It was incredible.

That sounds awesome. I love how they just keep adding little things that would happen in real life.

The jumbo's are pretty impressive and they are in sync to the on field action!

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

Five recap blogs updated as of now. I won't do anymore probably until tomorrow because of the Superbowl.

I would love to find out if there are better baserunning options but I'm assuming the NDA is blocking it.

I mean 1st and 2nd... I'll fix that. But yes, it was extremely awesome. The AI was very smart.

Not to mention the new animations on the huge screens... so sick!

Without a doubt. I'm trying to console myself with football/basketball and it's not working.

On an unrelated gameplay note, the CPU AI now takes chances on the basepaths on default settings! I had a play where a ground ball was hit to right field on the ground and the AI tried to go first to third on it... and Ryan Church came up throwing and one hopped a strike to 3rd base to throw him out! Put outs seems forced last year but were happening on a great rate this year!

To ice the cake, Wright was straddling the bag very, very appropriately and made a spectacular tag. I recorded it on video and hopefully will be able to show you guys!

I just had to play an online league game and it was painful. I want to go back to SD!

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

I feel sorry for you guys. We don't know what we are missing. You guys do. So we can still play the 08 and enjoy it more than you can.

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

I am so pumped about this lighting. It will make the stadiums pop! To me this should be consider innovation. It will make the game even better. I really want to see the lights come on at night!

Yes, the roll call cutscene sounds awesome. As do the curtain calls!

As for Jeter's stance, I'm sure it got touched up. I'm sure a lot of them did. The only question now is if they did a good job with them or not.

Russell said he has something cooked up for ericjwn this week. Hopefully Eric gets a chance to see some of the new animations.
