Game looks amazing as usual and the lighting changes are most definitely noticeable. Animations are awesome and get better all of the time. That combined with the player model changes and I can not wait any longer!!!! To me this game was already the best and will continue to be. That being said, if all they focus on is franchise updates and COMMENTARY next year we will have the perfect baseball game. (yeah I said it, perfect!)

And they keep hiding that espn-like ticker at the bottom of the screen ;-)
I guess they just turned it off and keep it for dessert !!!!

Re: MLB 11 The Show Video: Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees Gameplay (Cam)
This was a good comment. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who feels that way.wow, I am so incredibly in the minority I am afraid to even post and get ripped. Let me say first of all that I think MLB 10 is AMAZING. Still playing it, loving it, it has its issues but its the most realistic baseball game i've ever played.
With that said, AND knowing I am only seeing short clips of 11, I am trying hard to see all the incredible changes you guys are seeing. I totally see the changes to the shoulders and it does help the models look much better. I can see the shift in lighting, and once I see the dynamic cloud cover and weather in action I am SURE I will be completely sold. But when I look at the videos I see the same broadcast presentation, the same cuts, the same animations (mostly) the same commentary (and I agree that now Karros just sounds "added in"), and in general, even with the screenshots (sans sunset clouds) I'm not totally sure I could tell you which was 10 and which was 11 if I was really honest with myself and not closely examining it.
Its still amazing, I just have to admit that so far it looks like a good update to what was already a great game....and thats probably saying it all. How much more could they really do to something that was already so great?
I am happy to read Knight and Nemesis and the boys chime in since they were there and saw it first hand, so I am encouraged form what they say. And personally I have to admit that what I am dying for is brand new commentary that is dynamic and jointed and a much different much more realistic broadcast presentation since both of these things are what carry over for the most part from year to year and make it "feel" like the same game...with upgrade. So when I dont see this I probably feel less excited then most of you.
In closing, I'm finding myself less excited this year and nothing is really blowing me away from what I have seen. Yes, I am probably a jaded modern day consumer who has it all and is uneasily impressed anymore...and probably come March 8th and the first time I dont hear Rex and see the sun set at Fenway and see all the little things that I cant see from the clips, I will eat so much crow.

You are entitled to your opinion and should never feel bad about it. Actually I can see your point in regards to viewing this clip. Basically the user was not using any of the new features so basically it would play just like 10 for the most part except for the visuals. I found it a little odd that Game trailers chose that route of using classic pitching and what looks to be CPU fielding, kind of uninspiring.wow, I am so incredibly in the minority I am afraid to even post and get ripped.

In regards to the commentary it may be a double edge sword for this year. While its nice to have fresh voice with Karros, he makes the others feel dated at times. It looks like the commentary is going to be a work in progress for a few years.
With all that said, when you actually plug in and use a lot of the new features the game definitely has a different feel!“The saddest part of life is when someone who gave you your best memories becomes a memory”Comment

Looks AMAZING. I will need to get used to Karros though. Right now it just doesn't seem like he is fitting into what I'm used to.MLB: Tampa Bay Rays
NFL: Tampa Bay Bucs
NHL: Tampa Bay Lightning

Re: MLB 11 The Show Video: Redsox vs. Yankees Gameplay (Cam)
What was the point of getting a new commentator if you're just gonna make him say the same lines? I'm sorry, but the commentary is just God-awful...Note to self: BUY MADDEN 12*
*there are considerable franchise upgrades

Yeah I don't feel how you guys can really get this excited over this clip. It looks straight out of mlb '10.Comment

Re: MLB 11 The Show Video: Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees Gameplay (Cam)
I agree nothing wrong with that. If you guys don't see the differences that is cool too. But for me it is night and day. The lighting, the player models and so much added to the stadiums, make the game look like a completely new game.Comment
