Kiosk Impressions (Best Buy Build IS NOT FINAL)

Re: Play it at a kiosk? Post impressions here!!

Each team only has 1 alt. uniform option. So in the Indians' case they have that cream colored jersey that they wear on Sundays, I believe. So teams that wear 3 jerseys at home or on the road are not going to have all 3 of those options.

i noticed a few teams with more then one alternate.
mets for one.

Re: Play it at a kiosk? Post impressions here!!

Finally got to sample the game today at best buy. Had to wait a half hour for 2 morons who didnt know how to play at all, they walked in or wild pitched in 8 runs.
The start button on the controller wasn't responding so I had to continue their game. It Yanks vs Red Sox at citi field.

-Citi field looks amazingly life like from what I know of it. The colors make it really stand out.
-Game went from dusk to night and the lighting is much improved at night, a lot less stale.
The colors in the game seem to pop out more and its just simply beautiful.
-When players strike out, either swinging or looking, you actually see them strike out and then they cut away, not like last year when they'd cut away right before they strike out.
-Pitching seems a bit tougher. Same as last year but for me I couldnt pin point anything.
-Hitting feels much responsive and more natural. Check swings are much much more respnsive too.
-FIELDING!!! I am loving the feel of it. Very smooth and natural once you get a few ground balls to really get a sense of how and when to press the button.
The players look like they are actually throwing the ball instead of the ball getting sucked out like there was a magnet in the other players glove. It doesnt just shoot out, it flows!
Catching fly balls felt more natural, it doesnt just suck you into the animation.
-Broadcast cam is great. Have to get used to the view and how to judge the ball properly but it looks great.
-Sabathia's delivery looks much improved and their are more variations for gear color.
Stadiums felt really alive as if they were actually watching you play and programmed to react to certain situations.
-Couldnt really hear the commentary.

I was going to buy this game anyway this year but you can't really tell how a game is going to look until you actually play it. There weren't many gameplay vids for the show so I found myself kinda eyeing the "other game". My decision is now locked in after playing today and after playing this, there is now way im downloading the demo of an early build. March cant come soon enough.

are you me?
lol

Really? Are you counting the throwback jerseys as alternates, because I wasn't considering those as alts.

Im not a Phillies fan but Im just curious if they got the old 80's powder blue road uni's in there and the old Pittsburgh Pirates flat hats and Gold and Black unis and Pinstripe unis

It brings back such great 80's memories of having Pittsburg have all those different combos!

thanks if anyone can check it out

Re: Play it at a kiosk? Post impressions here!!

so is it a rapid swivel with sori's stance, or more of a slow and deliberate

Fast AND deliberate! lol j/k

i'd say it was more rapid, he wasn't hyper though, but it didn't look that slow.
I mean i noticed he was rockin' if that helps.
Man i wish i got a vid of it

Thats really dissapointing they haven't fixed Soriano's stance. From the sound of the description, it sounds exactly like Last year's stance. Pretty much sucks.
