Re: The little things thread

Julio Lugo stole 2nd base on me earlier today, and when he popped up from his slide he jumped off the base by accident. Jeff Baker tried to tag him before Lugo got his foot back on the base, but was just a hair late. Pretty cool animation.

I have a video of it, but I wasn't able to upload it. Do you have to have xbox live gold to upload videos?

Edit: Also, Carlos Marmol and Geovany Soto did a jumping high five after Marmol shut the door against the Rangers tonight. It was pretty cool, especially since the pitcher and catcher ususally just shake hands.

Re: The little things thread

If you hit a hr into the bullpen, the pitchers sitting down will all duck down out of the way. It's pretty funny.

And I second the lighting, it's amazing to watch an afternoon game go to dusk. It's pure art.

I hit a homerun at Turner Field, and the Giant Coke Bottle in Turner Field had fireworks shoot up from it. I thought that was pretty cool.

Re: The little things thread

When you rip one foul down the line, the batter sometimes cringes like the ball nearly hit the base coach.

Re: The little things thread

I can't believe in the 3 days since it's release there are 11 posts in this thread, and 4-5 of them say "lighting"... good grief. I'm thinking about getting the game, but after last years week of playing I'm not sure If I should. This thread isn't helping. Come one boys! Convince me!

Re: The little things thread

To be honest, this not a "little things" focused game. And I'm cool with that. The big things are what matters and this game was so screwed up last year with the Big things that I am glad they did not focus on the little things.

Now, that's not to say there are not some cool little things in the game, they just did not focus on those things this year for good reason.

They focused on the "Big" things and did a pretty damn good job. This game does some things better than any sports game I have ever seen like...

Lighting
Pitcher/Batter gameplay
Commentary/Dynamic Commentary
Sabermetrics/Inside Edge
Banners/Statistics

They are on the right track here, this year they can focus on tightening up some things in the gameplay/franchise and worry about getting fancy with the little things after those are taken care of.

And by the way, The Show focuses a lot of time on "little things" They do it better than any sports game so it's not fair to compare this to the show because no sports game can compete with Sony in that catagory, for now at least.

Once they iron out all the gameplay issues then they can begin to add the little things like the show has been doing for years. Still on the fence on this game and I'm just going to keep reading the impressions hoping I can get my baseball fix.

The authentic Pepsi advertising at PNC park and the cow at Turner Field.
