I can see it will take some time to adjust to fielding near the outfield wall, but once that adjustment is made....wow.

That's the one thing people will have to get used to, but, if I can do it at the event, and I'm an AUTO FIELD/MANUAL THROW player, guys who do MANUAL field will pick up on it quick.

(and just remember, this is BROADCAST view, not RTP. There are still the three standard LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH fielding views WITH RTP)

Needs to be played/seen on a bigger screen also, rather than what we're looking at here as the distance doesn't look so great on balls hit to the outfield.

Agree on everything. Looks great in motion. Can't wait to see more HD vids in the next few weeks.

One issue, I wanted to ask Jim or the others who played it if the broadcast cam is basically what was used in this video? I applaud the devs for adding the extra cam we all have been asking for, but is it once again going to be watching the ball shadow primarily, and not seeing the ball (fly balls, not grounders or line drives obviously)?

Is it possible to patch the camera switching before contact?

wouldn't the cam have to be right behind the ball for this to happen? that's not a broadcast cam. sounds like you want a ball cam.

The RTP looks fantastic! I may not use fast play this year for a change.

The only concern I have is the little "hitch" where there's a delay from when the player is throwing the ball and the ball actually comes out.

looks amazing. dont like how you cant tell where the ball is going off the bat though. It cuts away to the fielding camera way too quick.

Mauer taking biiig sips of the show kool aid, His favorite word in describing the show is Realistic or Realism. Russell, you must tell him that the slogan is "nothing gets you closer", these pokes are made in jest, but Mauer is placing lofty praise on the show, it better live up to his claims.

Yeah, I don't really get what he's asking for. The only way to let this work is if the landing area (and preferably your fielder) can still be in view, and on fly balls at this angle, this can only happen if you zoom out the camera very much, in which case you probably wouldn't be able to see the ball anyway.

But it would be nice if next year they give us a broadcast camera stationed higher up in the stands (very similar to the replay angle they gave us last year and will likely be in this year according to that Yankees CES gameplay video), only again... more focused on the fielder than the ball. Especially when always centered, this would give us a better sense of the field's overall depth and where we're running/how close the ball is to us as a fielder. Not only that, but maybe it would allow for it to track the ball and fielder in a decent manner for those low fly balls (or rising liners, or whatever).

Though they did say it will follow the ball on no-doubter home runs. How that will work out exactly remains to be seen.

I think he's asking for Blimp cam.

Anyways, the video looked really good. Very realistic.

looks good, unfortunately I have no PS3, yet.

Lol, always the Negative Nancy... It better live up to the claims or what? Is it not already the most realistic game on the market? I didn't hear Mauer say anything out of line.

In the traditional fielding camera, there is a delay between contact and the switchover to the fielding camera. I dont think there is a delay with any other cameras. It makes it tougher to predict where the ball is going to go, but I'd imagine we'll get used to it.

If you would read my post you will see that I said those statements were made in jest, stop taking things so literal, I was having fun with the pitch man.
