I don't know if this was asked, but what do ya'll think of the intro video? I think this is the first time in years that it was not of real life footage.

Got the game on wed. and had time to get in about 12 franchise games with the Dodgers. A mix of going against aces and regular pitchers.

Pros: The batting physics is noticeable and does make for a nice difference. The hooking and slicing of fly balls is great. When you get a hold of one, there seems to be a nice feeling...like you know you got it versus when you swing and know you're barely going to make contact.

The visuals might have been improved as others said, but to me its marginal. Not a bad thing though. The game looks great.

I love that load times have decreased. Presentation has improved, but I know many of us have hoping PS4 brings more overlays for stats and MORE CAMERA choices please!

I've seen some new animations and hit types. Liking those.

-------
Cons: With the amazing batted ball physics, its a shame playable fielding cams are still limited. Since I play auto-fielding, I hope to see the isometric view and the pressbox views implemented as playable views next year. A fan-cam would be great too. Also, I hope they reduce the zoom-in effect on HRs and fly balls...I want to see ball flight in the context of the field and stadium.

Would still like more stats displayed. For some reason runs are never displayed during walk-up OSDs. I personally like that stat, but thats just me. I think BA per pitch count and BA per pitcher or team would be great too. Its just nice to see stats while I'm playing.

Still no option to play an entire series. I'd love to have the option to play 4 games against the Giants...have the game load just the one time, and have it save the stats (temporarily) after each game until the series is over when it loads back into the main screen and all the stats are permanently saved. This goes for Franchise and RTTS. Would make playing an entire season quicker without loading in and out so much.

There are still a handful of legacy "could be improved" animations. They work, but they are just a bit off. One that comes to mind is the outfielder picking up a ball from the wall and turning to hurl it in. Just looks a bit weird to me.

Overall: Love the game...another good year of improvements and we're getting closer and closer to the ultimate MLB game.

Put it this way, I went into batting practice today and literally stayed in the cage for a good 250 pitches, and the best part about it was I started to actually notice improvement, I was able to lay off bad pitches, go with balls the other way, protect the plate by fouling balls off. Its the most impressed I've ever been with a sports game, and that was just BP!

Any known issues in franchise mode? I wanna start franchise mode with fantasy draft(and use real teams once OSFM come out), but not if there's issues.
