It's sort of pulled back and a bit top-down, so it follows the ball very well from contact. It's probably the closest the game has had to a broadcast fielding camera in the way it's positioned.

The HR I remember seeing did follow the ball completely and looked great, though I'm not sure what, if any, impact their HR cam will have (hopefully none).

Oh man, I'm soooo excited right now!! I've always wanted that classic cam aca ASB05, World Series baseball. I don't know about you guys, but nothing felt better than seeing your ball settle into the upper deck, aftera long battle at the plate.

I still have no games to look forward to for that peripheral (RE doesn't interest me), and thus absolutely no reason to purchase it. Maybe next year as Ramone said, but at this rate will VR even still be a thing by the time '18 comes out?

I realize it's an inevitability at some point, but as someone who has no interest in VR at all, I dread them sinking a bunch of dev time into it.

The new "Husky" body style looks SOOO much better than the "Fat" body style. Hopefully most of the guys with the "Fat" style last year got switched to "Husky" because quite frankly the "Fat" style in this game looks ridiculous.

Interesting take. In all the sliders I've developed before, I found the OFs to be too noodle armed. I always increase arm strength by a click or 3 for outfielders and also a bit for infielders. Of course, in the past I've found it's also essential to slow all the fielders down drastically as well. It'll be interesting to see how similar the gameplay/sliders feel to past editions.

Is it just me or is the video not working?

I hope so but I don't have my hopes up. They have been quiet on this front.
