I received and extra weeks vacation this year thats just waiting on The Show.....
Not saying I'm using the whole week for it but not saying i'm not either.
So many things i can't wait to try...3D, analog pitching, true zone hitting ....
I also plan to take a tour of every stadium.....
Already have my stuff ready to get my sliders done...
Just.need.the.game......

Guess i really should be deciding on a tv......

Night and day between 10 and 11! Player models look fantastic. The one thing that struck out at me after watching the video was that the jersey sleeves for all players look too long and baggy, Jayson Werth style. I never noticed that in prior years. Is this due to the new player models? Most players IRL have their sleeves cut above the elbow with a tighter tailored look.

One thing I thought was quite cool was in the Prince Fielder at bat. He threw three straight outside sliders, and the human batter swung weakly at all three ... Is that some sort adaptive pitching intelligence? I don't necessarily remember seeing that sort of thing in MLB 10, where a CPU pitcher would consistently target an area the opponent is weak .... Maybe it was, but I don't recall. Thoughts?

For MLB '11, I don't know, but I think I can speak on this based on my experience in MLB '10 for MLB '10. In franchise mode, at the beginning of the game the CPU does not know what location you're sitting dead red on. Most of the time I guess low in the zone because I have trouble picking up low pitches. However, after the first 12 batters, the CPU would begin either start hammering high in the strike zone or away if I have had some moderate success, as in "hmm, this guy is hitting pitches down in the zone or laying off the ones well below the zone."

In RTTS it is a different story since each game is different.

Agree with most that the game is looking fantastic. The models look good, and the fluidity was great to see.

The implementation of the analog pitching looks better than I thought. Seems to be a challenge without being a nuisance. Good work devs.

My only gripe will be not enough playable fielding cams to show off the works of art of this game...the stadiums! A nice second deck cam would have really showed off that deep fly off the wall and added some drama as to whether it was going to make it over the wall. I make the same gripe every year, so don't take it personal devs...I'm what you call a captured audience...I buy the game every year.

Thanx for the video, great stuff. To be honest, I've always been a classic pitching kind of guy. Never liked meters, mostly because I feel the less there is on screen, the more real it feels. But I think I'll give this a try. However, the thing I noticed was you really can't enjoy seeing the pitcher windup and throw like you can with classic pitching.

Also, should those quick pitches with the runner on 3rd be considered balks?

I understand this is a work-in-progress, but did anyone else notice that when Fielder walks up to bat the stats bar shows his height/weight/age over top of his BA/HR/RBI? 4:01

Best thing out of that vid was seeing better hits with slower OF'ers, presentation wise the glare from the outfield windows were great and I bet looked rediculous first hand

I love how you can see people walking in the outfield stands to their seats

This wasn't broadcast view, was it? Can we get some gameplay footage with broadcast views?

It appeared to me that one team had the broadcast cam on and the other team did not. I was thinking the same thing until the second team batted, and it looked like broadcast cam. Cant remember which team batted second.

agreed. Camera angles could be better. even the replay camera couldn't keep up with the ball hitting the wall.

First, thank you to take time to share it with us. The only thing I would like to see is a video where the player is not to anxious pressing X

I know I know, I would probably do the same first time I play.

But seriously someone at the CD mentioned somewhere that the batter now take time to step out and there is more animations now instead of the repeating one where the batter just touch the dust with his hand. Curious to see how is the gameflow now.
