Yeah, they definitely need to add a broadcast style camera like you would see in the real HR Derby. Since the mode is about just that, HRs.

It needs to track the ball fight. It would make the mode seem more fun as well.

Yup, also after the at bat is done I would like to see a recap of the hitter's home runs laid out showing all the different ball trails and distances. Just to jazz things up a little!

Right on, like they do with the red (?) arrows on ESPN and the number in feet on each one.

But wouldn't HR celbration camera work in this instance? In those no doubters they usually track the ball don't they?

**edit** no I guess that wouldn't help. I forgot it usually shows the batter in those.

For the people that don't like the camera there are 3 options for camera in the settings. In HR Derby #1 video the default camera hit view is 'High'. But at around 2:25 of that video it gets changed to 'Low'. The other option is 'Medium'. This still equates to following the shadow of the ball tho I believe.

However, If you'll notice too there is a Batting View option too in that menu. The default is catcher. So maybe, just maybe we can see the ball in the air if the batting view were changed? Crossing Fingers here...

It makes no sense to me, to tout the new broadcast cam and the long awaited homerun derby and not combine the two. I was really excited about this feature, but not anymore. If the broadcast cam is just a new camera angle to choose from, we should be able to choose it in any mode, a game, homerun derby, batting practice. Disappointed.

Yeah, they just need one set up like the "broadcast view" but shows the flight of the ball and zooms slightly to it as it leaves. Much like you would see in the HR derby.

And a recap after with the arrows and ball placements with the distance like Nemesis mentioned.

Similar to 2K, but with more "effect" and pop than what it has (the stadium nuances in The Show probably will help with it, since it wont cut away from the crowd as fast so you can see them grab the ball).

Well, don't be disappointed yet! They may be able to combine it into the HR Derby.

Ya I love how ESPN presents the HR derby on TV with the ball trail graphics & various camera angles especially the blimp view

I really thought after the long absence that they would bring the HR Derby back with new & exciting features but it looks like they just added the old one back in to make people happy

I hope Homeruns in actual games look better then that with the new broadcast camera

Time for disappointment is actually release day. Until then I wouldn't get to concerned about much.

Technically, they should look like the broadcast cam replays in 09 except this year they will be happening in real time!

my ideal homerun cam looks like this, except with better ball tracking.

Exactly to both. I can't be dissapointed yet, I don't even have the game. LOL We're just speculating as to what we may see given the current info.

The sad part is I want to play 2K's Derby more then ours just because of the ball camera

Did russel ever mention anything about specific transitional lighting for games that start at 12, 1, 4, 5, or 7? Did he mention start times at all? thanks
