That's probably why it feels like it switches before the ball is hit. Not a big deal though, as other than that the gameplay looked outstanding.

Right, I wasn't necessarily saying their broadcast cam wasn't good....its just like a real broadcast, but I wondered if it always kinda zooms low like that and just shows ball shadow. As you all know from 09, they had that awesome HR replay cam that showed more of the stadium and ball in flight.

Now if you ask what I would like, I would like something in btwn a higher broadcast cam, or a lower blimp cam.

Then perhaps next year there will be these fielding views:

LOW
MED
BROADCAST
BROADCAST 2
HIGH

Could happen.

And remember, think big screen LCD, not what you're seeing here where you have to squint.

Right, just like the Pirates say every year....there's always next year. I suppose the silver lining to not having the exact cam that I like is that I'm able to turn the game off and remain employed. Having a user-defineable cam would probably result in divorce, unemployment, and moving in with my parents so they could pay for my PS3 electricity.

Do your parents know this??????

You know one the things that Mr. Mauer said that I thought was really cool: That some of the pitchers play the Show to preview the line ups they'll be facing before the actual game!

Sometimes when I hear that stuff, I'm thinking more along the lines of, "I mean they may play it and get the swag down, but I doubt they can take it to that level to simulate the actual experience." Just like how NASCAR drivers said that they would play the old PS2 games to get a feel of the track. I gotta call baloney on that, though I won't doubt that they play the game, love it, and probably get a good general feel of what they'd be up against if not at least get into the mindset. Hell, I'm sure they even have clubhouse tourneys.

I'll tell you what, if I was a pitcher, I wouldn't ever rely on a video game simulation to give me a scouting report, no matter how real it plays out. It's just not the same. The biggest reason I would play a video game as a major leaguer is to see myself in it, which is really kind of cool (then I would make all of the necessary edits that they may have missed, including boosting my power ratings ).

Blzer, you may be right about the pitchers not using "The Show" to preview lineups, but I'll promise you some NASCAR drivers used Nascar Racing 2003 to learn tracks(PC) before going out on them for real...it's actually well known for those that follow.

anyways back on topic..
