As in it's new this year for all stadiums? It wasn't in the game last year at all, that I know of. Where did you hear it'll be there for all stadiums?

Updated jumbotron movies and stat layouts (still team specific)

This is from the fact sheet. So maybe that will answer your question man.

Going back and looking at the pulse pitching tutorial video, I noticed at Minute Maid Park, it had the same Video board statistic as Fenway. (As Annotated in the picture)

Why are the years not listed on the championship banners along the LF wall?

What I will never understand is how they get this game to look so gorgeous on so many levels, and then totally screw up the pitching motions in particular. Nearly every other aspect of this game feels so right and true-to-life, and then you see Matt Cain or Jared Weaver do some weird motion that looks nothing like their actual motions and it spoils the whole thing (for me any way). I'm going to have to see a lot of launch videos to convince me that this kind of thing has improved before I drop my $60, otherwise I might as well just keep playing something else.

Just my opinion.

Is that a inside the park home run? or not..

I was thinking more along the lines of triple, and out trying to stretch it, lol. (depends on the umpire I guess)

Ha! Sad thing is, that kind of killed the spirits of the Pirates from that point on, IMO.

As a Braves fan I was disappointed that the game ended that way. It's got to be devesting for a team to lose a game on a call that horrible. The Pirates never recovered from that which was sad. I really thought they were finally going to end the streak.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Screenshots (2-10-12)

I agree on the pitching motions but they have made some headway into the deep water I think. It definitely doesn't look great or anything but it will suffice for now. I am more worried about pitch accuracy again as both 11 and 10 were VERy disappointing in this aspect. Almost like no one even bothers to check what is going on which pretty had to be the truth. Kind of an important part of the game for it not to be considered much. But we'll see this is looking really good so far.

How was pitch accuracy very disappointing?

Did you join OS just to post this? LOL

I'm curious too. Are you talking about pitch types? or pitch movement accuracy?

Still from the Bautista clip:

I think there has been improvement with the arm placements this year, giving the pitches more of a "whip" quality. I tried to replicate this arm angle with Pavano in 11, and unless he has a different pitching motion from 12, there is definitely something that has changed. I personally would like to see the basic mechanics fixed first, which appears to be the case (or working toward), before they tweak the sig styles.

prolly because its cold out there lol

I am saying it because they did not have base runners with gloves in past, and I had been complaining about it. Seems like it made it in!

Just a heads up: In the picture (I'm assuming you're talking about the Kemp/Posey pic), Kemp is trying for an inside-the-park homerun, so he didn't have a chance to take his gloves off.
