It would be really cool if next year they have real authentic MLB jumbotrons like Madden 15 has authentic team jumbotrons.

(Just like in real life.) -During a pause I heard the PA announcer at Oakland extend a congratulations to ex-Oakland A's and current Houston Astro, Jed Lowrie, for being nominated for the Roberto Clemente award in '14. -Pitchers ask for appeals at first.

I just played a Bay Bridge series game at Oakland and they were doing the Bernie Lean

I'm convinced you are right. He and Puig seemed to get louder boos to me. I hate A-Rod so I thought I was imagining it until I heard it with Puig as well (don't really like/dislike Puig)

Saw a fan fall onto the field trying to catch a ground foul ball. Never saw that before.

It may just be me, but the dynamic pitch breaks seem to make a huge difference. No two pitches are alike. I threw 10 straight 4-seamers with Buchholz just to see if it was "dynamic." Sure enough, couple of them had a wicked tail on them and some were flat.

I thought maybe it was location based at first (maybe throwing off the plate to a lefty would produce the tail consistently as opposed to throwing inside). But it honestly felt like they were organic pitches that had "life."

Well done as always SCEA

King Felix was dealing at comerica and had just rung up his 10th batter. As he came off the mound at the end of the half inning he was walking towards the dugout and removed his hat and was looking at it. Then while "distracted" he realized he was nearing the chalk line and did this awkward looking hop/jump over the chalk.

3rd base coaches picking up foul balls and underhand throwing them to the crowd

Took Verlander's 2nd pitch of the 1st inning deep off the left field foul pole with Jackson, after I rounded the bases a new ball was thrown to verlander and he slowly rolled it around in his grip, inspecting it, then he chose to throw it back for another one. When he got this one he again inspected it for a long while before deciding it was ok. He was killing the momentum and taking his sweet time to regain his composure.

Felix lost his magic at the start of the 8th and loaded the bases. In come Furbush who got the first batter to pop up behind home, K'ed the 2nd batter and got the 3rd to fly out to RF. His fist pumps leaving the mound matched my own.


Next game Cle @ NYY
Got my first two batters on board and Brantley went deep on Tanaka. Loved Tanaka's frustration.

Cutscene showed Girardi standing behind players on the rail, motioning them to get back down and he was being ignored. Just shrugged his shoulders after the 2nd request was ignored.

so much cool stuff is going on they need to patch this so we can watch every foul ball to termination
