I noticed that the box on the right was displaying the analysis of the pitchers release point on the pitch which I believe is new

It's been there in Swing Analysis in MLB11. You see the pitch release info when you don't swing.

The grass texture sure looks better in the newer shot.

Spoiler

You can see the adjustment to the spacing between the outfield wall ads in this comparison.

I pointed that and a few other Camden Yards details to Russell in a PM!! I know others have mentioned it too so I'm not taking all the credit. Nice to see it made it in there!

Looks really good. Can't wait to play it.

Russell, for the custom hitting cameras this year will there be the ability to adjust focal point in addition to zoom? You can adjust this on instant replays but it was missing from the custom cameras last year and it's something that I personally wanted to see in there.

I'm actually so sick of seeing Camden Yards because my RTTS players keep getting drafted/traded to the Orioles organization so I've played countless games in that stadium.

Screens look great. New default view is much better than last year's. Kind of an off topic question but do you know how customizable things like compression sleeves and wrist tape will be (color, arm, length)? I'm a stickler for realistic player equipment.

I love how the pitcher seems farther away from home plate now.
I bet a lot of you are happy about that

Something else I noticed. Going to be nice for sure. Gives us more time to recognize pitches.

Lol guys the grass and lighting is exactly the same

Ha, yeah that's never going to change we have a brand here we are trying to grow.

Never? lol


With all due respect, it looks bad.
You want to build the brand thats fine, you should.
Via commercials, ad space on the net, in stadium. Heck, even in-game via the menus and such, but IN the actual playing of the game?

On the outfield walls, 3 times in a row? On the batter walk ups? on the score bug, out of the announcers mouth every few innings [how is the game brought to you by MLB THE Show and not SCEA?]?
It screams tacky and doesn't say True Broadcast Presentation.
It screams, 'hey you are playing a video game'. which is fine, because it is, but having that plastered everywhere takes away from any broadcast feel you try to achieve.

I'll wait to see what you bring in terms of overlay design and stats, but to me the screen shot in terms of looks is more cluttered than past games [which were already cluttered], and looks to be using the same skeleton in terms of overlays and pop ups.

Thats my take though and as far as it goes for me, its getting old.
Strike one.

Pretty disappointed to say the least. A previous member said that the scoreboard overlay looks similar to The Show 09... IT DOES! I just don't get it SCEA? I love the idea of a broadcast network by O.S. members, but always get's shut-down by SCEA and other people. I understand that would be a lot of work and would not expect that for this year, but at least THINK ABOUT the idea!

Plus it would be nice have a special presentation for winning the WORLD SERIES! I mean lets go SCEA you have had the same presentation for years. I think you can switch it up now... It doesn't even feel rewarding winning the World Series.

Honestly there is a bunch of things in The Show that are AMAZING, but there are also a fair amount of things that need MAJOR IMPROVEMENT! It would be nice to see that improvement in areas such as; World Series Presentation, Franchise Logic, A.I. Strategy and Logic, Manager Arguments and Dynamic Weather which includes RAINOUTS and DOUBLE HEADERS! Instead of getting the typical answer from Russell... "Not this year" or "We are not implementing that until we feel we can do it right." Well last time I checked, SCEA implemented rain.. That sure was not implemented correctly (having only 1 rain game out of 162 games for the New York Yankees).

I know this is slightly off-topic, but it would also be nice to FINALLY get the colors of Comerica Park correct. I can not stand that disgusting Teal color on the walls and backstop. That will be a huge factor if i buy this game this year... I'll hope for the best.

Definitely buying a PS3 and switching to MLB The Show from MLB 2K. Just an overall better game, worth the purchase, and a strong community. Looking forward to March 6! Russell, you have convinced me.
