    What's with the freaking bats? Looks like they should be playing wiffle ball. And unfortunately much doesn't appear to have changed since the demo, because the ball never appears to hit the bat on hits. And what's with the follow-throughs on the swings? Uh-Glee.
    And why on HR replays are they focusing the majority of the camera-time on the catcher?! That's idiotic. FOLLOW THE BALL, SEGA!

          Hey patsfan

          Why is it that you always have something bad to say about ESPN no matter how minor the detail may be and always defend every little aspect of MVP? Do you know what that makes you look like?

                Like an honest man?

                I just watched the new video on ESPN for about 3-4 minutes. The batting animations are HORRIBLE compared to MVP, they look like frames are missing and just generally look a generation behind ASB and MVP.

                No excuse Sega/VC/Blueshift... too much competition to come out last with such obvious shortcomings.

                And the player faces look very poor from that video...

                I had my hopes up for ESPN since it was #1 as WSB last year, but this appears to be a setback year for the title.

                            Just watched the video. I played WSB last year and thought it was pretty good. Had to cringe at that swing animation (swatting as somene called it) and the noise the swing would make, but it played a pretty solid game of ball.

                            However, the swing animation is back and , really, the bat is HUGE. Why did they do that? I don't recall this in last years game. It looks really, really weird.
