    Re: Is this why EA put an \"embargo\" on reviews before release?

    I've gone a re-read Steve's preview thread.

    Unbelievably well, the runners are first will go to third like they are supposed to do, they are very aggressive. Plus, they small manual says the base running is 85% complete. I haven't seen any baserunning bugs yet, so maybe are just getting a few kinks out that I haven't seen.

    There's hope.

        One thing that i just realized that is promising, in the running tutorial on EA's videos, the hitter, shot one down in the right field corner with a runner one first, and he scored on the double, he looked pretty damn fast to me too. So it might already be a moot point.

            I guess if someone like "Slow" Vaughn hit a pea down the right field line, he could get thrown out at 2nd base.

            Anyone know how the runner in the video was? If it was someone like Ichiro that would really be a disappointment.

                        Fellas, I don't know how to break it to ya, but for the record Wrigley Field is 353 down the right field line - making it the single DEEPEST right field line in the ENTIRE Major Leagues!!

                        In fact, Coors and Comiskey are the only other parks that are even deeper than 335 (most places are around 315-330).

                            haha this is exactly what i want to here i think that shows everyone just how much all these people really know and i'm tired of people timing the runners what do guys really sit there with your little stopwatches give me a break. i'm still getting mvp because i think it will be the best overall game. and whats with all the bashing of EA i've always loved the madden and now the new ncaa football games. seeya guys on springbreak. unless you'll be too busy counting the rotations on a pitchers slider.

                                Now that everyone has finished bashing EA, the fact of the matter is that they added a previously unknown (center field cam) as well as tweaked the running and throwing speeds. Maybe they're crazy for actually wanting people to review the FINAL build and not the 85% one? The nerve of EA!!! Much ado about nothing.
