I love videogame collisions!

@Ramone...I was wondering if there have been any new animations in terms of swing follow through. Also are there signature follow through swings. It always bothered me that the default follow through does not match most hit types. It would cool if there was a pull follow through and opposite field follow through, pop up and so on.

Very obvious, but we don't and until we can design a compelling way to do it we won't. It's never at the top of the list to begin with so the chances are slim year to year. That is until someone comes up with a compelling design that makes sense.

On the realistic note the game will never be "realistic" if it was everyone would suck at the game. There is a fine line between what people think they want in "realism" standards and the contrast between fun.

As long as how the rain looks itself is improved, i'll be happy(probably already has been). Maybe even more puddles forming on field?

Russel, how is the franchise simming coming along? Are you running into contract issues or crazy trade logic?

The new ball physics sounds exciting.

I might get a Vita now.

well the fact that he hasn't followed up might mean all went well. or he's still in the salt mines plugging away at it.

i am confident in things coming out looking good.

i think they should just drop trade frequency down to like 1 or 2.
most should happen at the deadline.

Subjective? No way. You must not be much of a franchise player. Russel understands the issues with trade logic, frequency, et al.

very familiar with franchise lol, Completed 3 seasons all games played. The Show does not understand names only attributes, what kind of logic would you like 15 years in and all fictional players

Re: ESPN MLB 12: The Show' hands-on preview

This is everything I ever wanted on The Show... can't wait oh man I love this time of the month, hoping March comes fast so I can play The Show on BOTH PS3 and Vita. AMAZING preview!

Only 3 seasons in? So you only made it to year 2014? Thats right when things really start to go haywire. In 2016 Felix Hernandez (in my franchise anyway) is a free agent because all the teams are broke. The Show 2009 I played franchises all the way into the 2020's. Obviously I sim ALOT. 2010 had wack trade logic and 2011 was no different. Im sorry but Ubaldo Jimenez for Kyle Farnsworth is a wretched trade. That cannot be considered subjective. It would not appear attributes were considered in that trade.

15 Years in Bryce Harper, Manny Machado, Strasburg, Brett Lawrie, and all the young top prospects would still be playing, so I would hope they would not be traded for mediocre relievers.

Are you saying you don't see "wretched" trades in the real MLB?
Really?
