    You could always turn them off but I see how all this coould be hard to do, plus it would be a good shake-up if we could get this to work and it would be good to hear farmialer voices.

      However, the lighting and physics are better. Looking forward to getting the game.
      Bryd is 6 foot 245. That is a line backer.

      Looks like a linebacker to me.

        + lighting! though this setting wasnt even the best use of it. Sunset would look nice.
        Hopefully the demo we can pick time of day.
        SCEA is masters at getting the most out of the graphical engine with each new installment.
        lighting kept this from looking EXACTLY like ten.

        Player models are nice but in the flow of this clip, u c ant tell they are new unlesss ur REALLY looking.

        - presentation

        wow, even with editing of the in between stuff the announcing was B.R.U.T.A.L.

        Just brutal.
        for 2010.
        brutal.
        the lack of a decent crowd too killed the feel in that clip.

        SCEA, time to overhaul it.
        it feels like nappytime watching it. lol

        overall, not much to say. The Show visually takes steps forward and then sticks in the mud regarding sound and presentation.
        still too much like 10, like 10 was too much like 09.

        I really like Matty V in real life, but in this game hes just not good.

        presentation is just as important as all the other stuff.

        i'll play th demo this week as the controls dont come into play when just watching a clip, so i'll see how that rocks, but from what I have seen so far, I aint feeling this years game two weeks away.
        I don't understand the math on this one. Seems like:
        Lighting/graphics = +1.
        Sound = 0.
        Overall = -1.

          I realized after watching this video that it was obviously on "broadcast" but one thing that I had not heard much about this year was "Real-Time Presentation. I'm assuming it's still in the game as SCEA usually does not remove anything from the year before. But has SCEA done anything new to Real-Time Presentation for '11? Improving it? Thanks. Later

            I'm pretty sure it's the same as last year, I don't think SCEA wanted to give a lot away so they edited it a lot.

                It would actually go back to 0. . Any way I like the pitcher release point and the outfielders see to take a little time getting to the ball. Hope we see more doubles donw the line this year.

                  Finally finished watching the video and a few things I noticed (Positive/Negative)

                  Starting with the negatives -
                  - Karros... then again he's knew so it'll take some time. When he talks it really sounds like he's using a tape recorder and not "talking" to the rest of the crew
                  - The editing in this video...come on I want some RAW footage
                  - Is THAT the ticker they were talking about this whole time? Looks the same as last year's

                  Positives -
                  - Lighting looks AMAZING
                  - Player models are realistic along with the new batting stances such as Pena
                  - New commentary like the one where Pujols gets lined out
                  - LOVE the new color scheme on the guess pitch and the lineup card and the scoreboard thing on the top


                  Can't wait to try out the Demo but I need my PS3 asap.. it may feel like '10 but it sure does look BETTER (which was close to it but by maybe 5%)

                  I'm having trouble with the whole video loading...my internet has been shaky at best lately....but if it's the drop down box underneath the scoreline up top.....no that is not the new ticker.
                  The new ticker is on the bottom like ESPN's. I have a low res pic that Kolbe sent me(to tease me a bit)....but I don't have permission to post it...so I won't.

                  ....and of course the game is much like '10...Why shouldn't it be?....there was no need to rewrite the entire game.
                  ...and sorry....those that say they can't see the difference in player models....I'm gotta call you know what. That's nonsense.

                  I think we all agree we would love some new commentary....but horrid? That's a bit much.

                  What stadium was that? It's hard to tell.
                  (I might as well just get all of these out of the way now )

                  Carry on.

                    Exactly...Byrd is a beast physically. I don't see a problem with Pena either, dude is 6'2 230-240

                          I did notice that too. Some players still had the box shoulders which was weird. Look at time 3:04 when David Freese walks up, his shoulders are so high.

                          I dont nitpick batting stances or the way stadiums look or jerseys looks but to me this was obvious when I saw it on some players while some are ok. Like I said, its just weird.

                          That pitching view at Cubs stadium is awesome though.

                            I hope so. The editing wasn't so good, so maybe they edited the best they could to gets thing to flow the best they could so they could hide the stuff they didn't want you to really see. I liked how the opening presentation was like, under the second deck and you could see that, as how in previous titles it would zoom out from the center field concourse. Loved that little addition to opening presentation

                              I'd be doing the exact same thing if I was trying to hit from that camera. The only game I was ever able to do it well in was Bases Loaded - and that mostly had to do with up,down,left, and right being the only swing aiming controls, and the ball coming in at half the speed that it does in today's games.

                              I have great respect for anyone who can actually hit well from that camera angle, because I sure as hell can't.

                                Despite the editing and splicing, I thought the video did a pretty nice job showing off the new lighting effects, ball physics, player models/animations, and fielding/pitching mechanics. The commentating is still as bland as MLB 10, but that sure didn't stop me from loving the game.

                                One thing I notice from the new analog pitching meter is that it tries to mimic the animation of the pitching delivery from windup to release. I think this does a better job at making the users feel like they're pitching, rather than twirling input for the pitch then wait for the pitcher to make the pitch (like the 2K series). Also, I find shortening of the distance to the yellow line on the meter while Carpenter was pitching out of the stretch to be a nice touch!

                                Definitely can't wait to test out that demo tomorrow!
