    Actually, that video wasn't up when I posted. That, or it didn't load up on my page at all. I was at my school when I posted earlier, so go figure. Plus, I was probably too busy working on my little cross-controller idea.

    But what I saw was a ball trail and a new HRD camera angle (seeing it from the batter's point of view). I like the camera because it kind of leaves you in suspense. I don't know if I like the ball trail at all, but if there is an option to turn it off, we're all good. It looked like they were hitting a multi-colored ball, too. You could even recognize the spin more, which was kind of legit. They have the Posey stride and follow-through as well.

    That's not something a hardcore Giants fan would say!
    I'm not sure what it is, but honestly I think it stems from the fact that everybody loved him before he proved himself (at least in front of them). Yeah, he showed us something, but he never proved himself. That makes it blind love, and I don't care for blind love. Probably the same reason I wasn't the biggest J.T. Snow fan. He could field, but in the later years as a Giant, that was it. Now I've watched and loved Posey since FSU, so my love kind of "went away" when everyone else jumped on his bandwagon. At least he's proven now.

    I'm like that with many things, though. If we already know that someone is a highlight good player, I like to look around and find other things that are equally as good, if not better... or just become a fan of something else in general. It's like when a band releases a CD with a few singles; yeah, everyone has and loves the singles. Let's find the other hidden gems on that album that are worth loving.

    EDIT: Totally realized you were talking about Kemp, not Posey haha. Well... I like some of the Dodgers players, even though I don't like the team. I like other teams less though (Cubs and Yankees, and A's before Moneyball). Anyway, I was just referring to the west coast love that is needed around here.

      It's gotta be Cutch or Posey. Cutch is a good choice to say hey, this is a serious baseball game. Posey is popular and can do something that Cabrera can't do--play defense.

        LOL, yeah I was referring to giving any kind of props to the Dodgers organization. My wife is from SF and I swear she genuinely hates everything LA! That being said, you can imagine the World Series was NOT a good time for me in our house

        And the video breakdown comment, I was speaking in general, not specifically to you. Even tho I know you are most thorough in your observations, lol.

          For sure I won't vote for CC.

          I'm thinking maybe vote for McCutchen.



          It wasn't announced until end of January that Bautista would be on cover of MLB12 in Canada, so makes me think it'd be around similar time again this year if there is Canadian cover.

          Since they're having voting, I wouldn't mind voting for MLB13 cover in Canada. Options should be Lawrie,Reyes,Dickey,Johnson. No Bautista since he was on MLB12 already.
          Or maybe Joey Votto!

            i guess th pics are the shots that will be used for the cover boy.

            The CC would look nice.
            Also, wouldn't he be the first pitcher to adorn the cover?

            I'll vote for him.

                  Yes, the Giants have always had names on the batting helmets.

                  Mets too, on the bill.

                    Ugh, going to be a tough choice. It will either be Cabrera or Cutch for me. Anyone have a coin?

                        I noticed some updates to Citifield like the "KID 8" on the outfield wall and a brief glimpse of the HD display board near the right field seats. Very nice.

                        My vote comes down to Cutch or Posey.

                          That "KID 8" on the left-center wall looks pretty cool!

                          This is probably something no one is going to care about, but I noticed some of the same player portraits from the previous two games. It's not that big of a deal, but feel a bit underwhelmed.

                            I'm a little surprised that there aren't even number of AL to NL players to vote for. Just 2 AL and 5 NL players on the ballot. Would have liked to see Trout as a candidate

                              I think a lot people don't like him. I sure don't care for him much. Probably would only get votes from the Angels fans. VOTE CUTCH!

                                That may be true but then why is Harper a candidate? I think he's the absolute biggest jerk in baseball period.
