C'mon y'all. Enough About Turner Field and its 101 Dalmaition and cows (j/k). What about stances and pittching animations? Are they even in this build? And if so, any noticably different?

I'm sure this would've been mentioned but...I'm not very patient sometimes.

On topic...loving the new addition of stats during the game. On deck hitter, how teams are doing in situational hitting..etc...really adds to the presentation of the game.

Now if only that score ticker in franchise mode made it in.

I just hope the stats continue during multiple years in franchise. It seemed like as you continued to multiple years the stat overlays were less and less.

One thing that I am a little disappointed in, is it appears the rule 5 rules were not incorporated this year. According to Brent his RTTS player was a rule 5 pick the first season. I was hoping this was addressed because I hate having to add AA players in their first year to the 40 man to protect them.

Do they read the lineup through like in 08 or do they just pick one player to highlight like in 09?

It's early.. and I realize it may be a bit harder to go back and read the thread at this time of morning so I'll help you out..

You mean the introductions? It actually doesn't highlight and talk about a player like last year - just displays the batting lineup. Not sure if that's how it will be in the final - I can ask tomorrow.

I'm also still wondering if there will be different dusk to night transition instead of just clear skies.

I would love something like this

When you guys get the opportunity, check out the record replay feature and see if it still cuts your off.

That was one of the questions I asked and hoped for, I'm not so confident to tell you the truth, probably it would have appeared in the fact sheet.

Re: Post thoughts here for Community Day Hands-on Impressions

for anyone that played as the Cubs, does Alfonso Soriano have a new batting stance?

Or does Alf have a smaller head or bigger helmet?

The active bullpen and more colors to equipment is a much needed plus that puts it over the top for me. I was planning to get this game before I read all the details, now I am glad I made this smart choice.

Like the additions of Franchise mode. Is there more stats this year than the 6 that were kept in years past? Can we go back and look at them from year to year?

The more stats the better, baseball is a game of numbers!

I'm super curios about this new broadcast cam.

A video on that would be much appreciated. When possible of course.

Re: Post thoughts here for Community Day Hands-on Impressions

I just want to say that everything sounds amazing and thanks for all the info. Quick question, is there an easy way to tell the runners speed when I am pitching and batting without pausing the game to look?

Re: Post thoughts here for Community Day Hands-on Impressions

Not sure if any of the other guys brought this up yet but... you CAN follow the ball during a homerun shot via replay. It won't stop at the wall like it did last year.

Looks beautiful.

Awesome. I was really hoping they would add this. Most of the replays I watched were homeruns and I'd hate when they cut the camera at the wall. I think the best way to view the stadium, IMO, is by following the ball during a replay homerun.

SCEA - Thanks for this feature.

Re: Post thoughts here for Community Day Hands-on Impressions

Everything sounds amazing! Still a little nervous aboutthe throwing meter. Preload locked throws? What if i press the wrong base or change my mind? LoL! Also, when will pump fake throws make it in?

Wow, really loving the stat overlays. I love the little details! Especially the up-to-date stats like after hitting a double.
