interesting to note 'revamped' terminology was used in the Final Verdict. and I don't believe I'm using that out of context. of course this is different with this being Kevin's wording and not the Studio's. other than release date and cover choice and console availability I agree it's a bit premature with more final verdict calls. speaking of which - console availability - I'd like to hear something on Nintendo speculation
I think The Show is the best series for baseball, but the WBC teams' lack is a great problem. Moreover, Konami which owns the rights of the WBC does not develop all its potential, always relegated to a few super-deformed games (even if very beautiful), without distribution in the USA and Europe. As long as the WBC is relegated almost exclusively to a closed nationalist country like Japan, the games will not sell enough and neither the WBC nor baseball will spread to the rest of the world (including wealthy Europe). It would be very different if The Show could take advantage of these rights, spreading the game in open nations like the US and Europe to news and the world.
Instead, I find cross-play very important and I hope they extend it to PCs too, avoiding the very frequent cheating on the latter platform, but the direction is the right one.
The sad thing about online co-op is that it WAS ALREADY in the game at one point a few years ago, but then they removed it. However, I too am holding on to the hope that it'll return.
