The new broadcast camera is amazing. You have already seen it, as it was used for gameplay replays last year. It makes watching the game while playing a very, very nice experience. It will certainly take some getting used to, however. Your sense of depth seems to be slightly off when you first start playing with it.

Meh, we'll get used to it.

The only thing I wanted to point out, unless they changed it from the CES preview, is that it's not in the exact same position as it is on replays from last year. In replays, it is always centered and stationed higher. I really think that if they raise it to that height next year, it will fix that "depth" issue that you're talking about... or at least help improve it. And if they include a "centered only" broadcast cam next year, I will truly do bad things to myself.

Thanks for the impressions, Pared!

I was thinking the exact same thing, other wise it would be just fluke and no physics involved at all. That should never happen. Please don't tell me this is correct Russell ??

You guys are taking it out of context baseball is not a science especially the batter pitcher dual. Sometimes you do everything right and foul the ball off or get a pop up sometimes you do everything wrong and get a hit. This is the exception and not the rule.

since you say stances lol....i would like to know if you saw Chipper Jones's stance and if they have fixed it?? If ya cant answer, due to possible flood of "stance question"

, i understand...

A lot of the stances were unchanged, as it's one of the things that weren't in the build we played. He was locked in the dungeon...

They did update Denard Span (after I said something... I think they hate every time I point out a stance now

) and we did have them address the issue of players hands being in front of the pitching meter. That should no longer be an issue for guys like Sheffield.

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Can the bullpen logic be explained a little more in detail?

Last year, relief pitchers were going 2-3+ innings, starters still in the game in the 7th after giving up 7 runs and there were rare intentional lefty-lefty matchups so has this changed? Also, how much of an impact does relief pitcher stamina have in the game (such as Okajima pitching 2+ innings) or are most of the appearances match-up based?

Also, if the CPU really needs a GIDP if there's a good sinkerball relief pitcher available will that pitcher be used? An example would be Atlanta, in that if I need a DP after the 6th inning really badly Bobby would call in Moylan to get the job done and if he gives up a hit, lots of times he'd call in another pitcher. Does the CPU manage in a comparable way?

Bingo!

How many times have we seen Manny swear on TV, because he did everything right and just missed a pitch?

It happens.

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

Did my heart proud to hear about things like range and speed mattering for the infield and that it'll be more possible to leg out doubles and triples down the lines. Seems like the only way to get them is if someone messes up in the outfield before.

I hope manager logic in RTTS gets mentioned in one of the blogs, because I doubt anyone got to play a long enough session to notice any differences...

Music to my ears.

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Thanks so much for answering all the questions!

I didn't see this ask, so if it was please someone tell me where it is and I will read the response, but here goes:

In one of the vids that are out there there seemed to be some pretty big uproar over a ball that landed on the grass in the outfield but still bounced over the wall for a ground rule double. I assume this has been toned down from that build, but can we have confirmation?

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

I haven't seen a solid date given yet..

Has the roster cut-off date been announced? Or possibly already passed?

Main reason I ask is because Rick Ankiel signed with the Royals today and it would kill me to look at him in a Cardinals hat every time they show his picture.

While it does look a little odd at times, I don't think this is something that should be too big a concern. I think saw a ground rule double twice while I was there.

I'm actually very pumped about all the color options we can choose from..love that they have bat tape, very small detail but very cool. gonna make CAP a lot better, more variety...

Does turning off the PCI in the settings turn the input off completely or just turn it off visually?

Reason I ask is because I don't use the left stick to "aim" my swings, I try and just do it timing based..

Thanks.

Can you fire a manager/coach in season?

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Is this year going to be a collector's edition? If so, any details available?
