There is a broader audience at play than just the true hardcore sim gamer.

ONE MORE TIME FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

This game isn't just for us weirdos at OS.

As long as they're not overused this doesn't bother me. Some are funny, some are cool, it's still just a video game, and I doubt they really spent much time on these at all. I'm not getting worked up over this.

Some of them looked alright.

This isn’t an arcade game. Until they can get gameplay, animations, correct equipment etc correct there shouldn’t be resources spent on something like this. There’s too much that still needs MAJOR improvement for time to be wasted on arcade NFL blitz style bat flips.

I believe there are bat flips you can choose. It looks like you don't have to use them.

MLB won't let them put in charging the mount (even if it's a little timied) yet they allow and encourage this which would create Brawls in the real world??

Well it certainly isn't a 1000% accurate simulation portrayal of real life, either. So...here we are. With card collecting, ridiculous bat flips, retro mode, three-inning games, legends...
