Hey Freeztime, thanks for taking questions.

- I know you mentioned grounds crew between innings which is awesome, but did you notice any other stadiums ambience type things? Like jumbotron animations, ribbon board animations? Many have said that this stuff doesn't go in till late but I was just wondering if you saw any of it.

Thanks

All Jumbo trons are functional now. Did not notice Ribbon stuff. I looked for the Rally Monkey but did not see him even though the Angels were down in the bottom of the 7th and 8th. Russell mentioned the thread that comes out about a month or 2 after 11 about what you want to see for 12 so I suggest you post in that thread and be very specific about each team. I know I will be. I want the Rally Monkey!!

Franchise did have some new stuff added. I can't remember everything but one of the changes is now you check your mail by pushing select and going over as opposed to pushing the triangle button like you used to do. Not sure why they changed it. The menus are now easier to navigate and see.

Russell assured me the load times are faster than 10 and I already mentioned that Karros adds a lot of incite and some of the new presentation things like the start up with the ump dusting homeplate to the grounds crew improved the presentation.

I added some things to my original post that I forgot about and just remembered like the new stats they show and Eric Karros so check out my original post.

What teams did you play with?

What teams did you play with?

Angels, Red Sox, Brewers and Rays. Sometimes Russell would already have the teams loaded up and other times he just gave me the controller and walked away to go do whatever or go to lunch so I had the game all to myself and would pick the Angels or just go through the new modes or play a game. Russell's favorite team is the Rays so I did one co-op game with the Angels and then we did one with the Rays.

Was the game running in broadcast mode or real-time presentation? I am curious if they improved the RTP options for presentation.

Did you notice if it was possible to select socks before each game in addition to hats, jerseys, and pants? Thanks.

Did you happen to notice if the main menus have taken on a different style/layout? Also you said Karros added some good incite but did you think the overall commentary was better, like was it more fluid?

Reading you played an Angels game did they finally updated the rocks/waterfall graphics in the outfield? In 10 they still had the ps2 look. Thanks.

RTP was exactly the same. I didn't notice anything different.

I don't think that is an option.

Main menus are a basically the same. In game menus are a slight improvement though and when you push select the new screens are improved.

Karros adds a lot of commentary and every team I played with he talked about. The overall commentary sounded pretty much the same as last year although at times it was hard to hear but Russell did try to crank the volume up. He did mention that they tried to fixed the announcers repeating themselves especially in the same at bat.

Hey Freeze, thanks for the input on the game, with the mixing and matching of uniforms, were there more uniform options for the teams?

Sadly it's identical. Honestly, I did not want to bring that up to him. There are so many new additions that mentioning the rocks is just nitpicking. I understand what you mean though and I would suggest bringing it up in the thread Russell starts for things you want to see in 2012.
