Great, The Show has Real Time Presentation, now this is the kind of copying I like and their traditional presentation Wow. Loving what I read so far good preview.

"MLB 10" will default with the same presentation gamers are used to, with all of the classic cut scenes that help you follow the action. But the team at Sony is also laying a foundation for what they believe is the future of sports gaming, and that's something they call Real-Time Presentation (RTP). Basically, with RTP, at the end of each play, instead of switching to a cut scene, the camera never leaves the field as the players get back into position, move around in the dugouts and in the bullpen all in real time. "It sounds generic, but when you watch everything play out, you feel like you're never leaving the action," explains Gill. "The really cool thing about that is, I fell like I'm watching a real live telecast and the players are all behaving how they're supposed to be behaving. It took a lot of animations and some additional logic, but this is something we always wanted to offer instead of the way it is now where we're cutting out of reality and sending you into presentation land. We're still going to default to what we have, as we have upwards of 7.000 animations in all of these cut scenes. But the real-time aspect gives you an opportunity to watch the game in a different environment, from the way the camera focuses on the shortstop who just made a great diving catch to the way the next batter is walking up to the plate to the way the guy who just got out storms back to the dugout, it's all playing out in front of you like you in real time."

"There are also eleven new stadiums in the game including five minor league stadiums and six classic fields including Forbes Field, Crosley Field, The Polo Grounds, Shibe Park, Sportsman's Park, and Griffith Stadium (and the ability to choose a classic stadium as your home field during Franchise)."

Tremendous. Absolutely tremendous.

"If you played as a catcher in Road to the Show last year, you realized quickly that there simply wasn't much to do behind the plate. "You were pretty much limited to fielding bunts and pop ups," says Cramm. But with Twins catcher Joe Mauer signed on to appear on the game's cover this year, the producers wanted to add something special to the position. "

There it is. Mauer Power. Not really a suprise. He deserves it for sure.

EDIT: DAMN! Beaten.

The article confirms that Mauer gets the cover, in case nobody's seen that yet. It's just like one sentence. Lol.
