"Russell said hitting timing will be adjusted slightly in MLB 13 The Show to give batters a more satisfying payoff on solid contact. "You're going to see more offense like you do in real life," he said, addressing criticisms that The Show's rigorous contact physics last year made the game a station-to-station game of base hits for most novices. "If you square up on a fastball, it's going to be hit harder than it was before," Russell added. "People are going to be very surprised.".

Sounds like this could lead to more doubles and triples perhaps?

Yes but those won't be caused by the timing window being increased. The ball physics and hit types are being affected by our Tru Ball Physics Engine 2.0. (Did I just drop an Easter egg)

Ha, that's what I was thinking. Don't know if the PS3 could handle it.

Cool, physics were a touch off in some places: opposite field HRs, pulled shots down the line, high chop fouls behind home plate.

Hey Russ, any chance you could reveal the top speed for a batted ball?

Generated pitch counts would equal a purchase!

I hope this new "Tru Ball Physics Engine 2.0" also means no more of those really high foul ball bounces off the ground near home plate. Those look more like pop ups then foul balls off the ground. Hopfully they will be cut down or removed as I don't think they are very realistic looking.

guess I will wait for more information for online and pray its more than just season mode

Yes sr. you will see a lot less ground rule doubles. McArthur re-wrote the ball physics in that area completely.

Wow, a couple sweet franchise tidbits, improved ball physics . . . I'm giddy!

**** this guy. He's the last guy I would want on the cover. Happened to play in some showcases with him in Tampa and Minneapolis. He's a prick. Thinks he's some superstar and just isn't a nice person.

My vote will NOT be for him.
