Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

you know what mistake game companies make on Pujols batting stance? They have him holding the bat regularly...Look at Pujols top hand(right hand)... He holds it at an angle that you can't see when they have the behind the pitcher camera. It looks straight up and down but its not..It's at an angle with the bat tip facing towards the backstop netting.

The hand height is perfect...It's just the way the top hand/bat is angled.

Dork? Yes, yes I am. But I don't care.

I used to laugh at all the batting stance and uniform guys until the Cardinals having the wrong color socks started bothering me. Now, I can see how little things like that can drive people crazy.

Wow, that's a tough one. I'd say with the lighting effect that I saw, Milwaukee. The high rises behind Petco looked great this year. Didn't look like an after thought. Looked like they really belonged.....um.....man, that's hard. When Dolphin Stadium looks good, even Pared commented on that one.

Wrigley. I was telling Knight to check out how obviously old that OLD scoreboard in center field actually looked.

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

But Sabathia does have a new motion? Forget about my standards or anybody else's standards, does it look like his real life motion?

I was pitching from the outfield cam and his left leg and body motion was finishing off on the third base side.

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

A couple of things I forgot to mention

They added an all new tag system. Over 100 tags now in the game.
The catcher has his own set of tags to differentiate him from other fielders in this regards.

Pick offs are also improved. I know Pared spoke about him picking off a runner. I saw some new animations when I was doing them though. But I know what he's saying also. This has more to do with runner and the orientation with the fielder(tags).

There is a new game positioning system. This is a nice touch(although I forgot to try it/use it when I was playing.
Once in game...you go to Player Positioning and can set your defense up. For the big guns it will automatically go deep in the OF for the slap hitters you can have the OF play in a little. Speed guys?...have the IF play for the bunt. You set it once and then it will do it auto for the rest of the game. You can go back in and change it at any time of course.

Even the Tropicana looks better this year. That is saying something.

That's great, that's how he finishes in real life. I have new hope!

Thanks.

If Russell can post that one shot I did with the pitcher on the mound. I took it from about the first base dugout, maybe 30 feet in the air and the sun is shining through the openings in the high walls/supports and it's really impressive. The pitcher was half in sunlight, half out, really cool.

Wrigley was nice. ....and that Cub dev team member says it will get even MORE loving next year.

While it was awesome playing in CitiField....never actually seeing it will keep me from saying there...but Progressive looked fantastic. So did Comerica.
Man...they all looked so good, especially with the new lighting.
