Looks like there's one for hitting it in the Cove in SF too, which is cool to have place specific trophies. Looks like both online league type trophies are back too

Unfortunately the song did not continue playing while I was throwing the 8 warm up pitches

Thanks and congrats to all you lucky bas.... um, guys

There does not appear to be an option to turn off the pitch selection window

that is actually really cool. I now, for the first time ever, have an interest in trophies.

Russell just said that it was a bug, and that's it. I posted that if it was a bug three years ago then why wasn't it addressed by now. But I didn't get an answer. Not sure why it hasn't been fixed , but I really wish it would cuz I hate when people release rosters that have changed the hidden stance to another. It would be fine if u could get the stance back, but there's no way. This really needs to be fixed. Later

Do the Rangers still have the ugly two-toned (red-blue) helmets that they had in the game last year?

Normally, the pitcher will stand on the mound, watching/waiting for the batter to do his trademark nuances and get back into the batter's, before delivering his pitch. I believe the 1st question was answered but as far as the above 2nd question: In the short time I have actually played the game the batters do either take a step back in the batters box or will step out. I have yet to see the batter "snap" into position at the plate.

Thank you for your response. I appreciate it a lot.

I probably should have been more specific. I was hoping for more of what Joe Mauer does in the following video for all batter's (batter taking time before stepping back into the batter's box).

I was hoping that the following batter's sequences would be completely out (i.e. batter immediately ready for the next pitch). These were one of my main concerns while playing MLBtheShow09 (it took away from the immersive experience). It sounds/looks like these are still in for TheShow10.

In the blog about stadium realism in the comments section, Greg Batalucco from SCEA said in response to this question that they still have the two tone helmets due to the fact that the MLB style guide still has those helmets and they HAVE to follow the style guide even if it is clearly wrong.

Yes according to the MLB they still have them.
