    First real gameplay footage 3 weeks prior to release and some of you need to be talked off the ledge? Relax. Sony will release better footage showing off the new features as the release date approaches.

    And many of the same people will be gushing about the demo this time tomorrow.

      2 weeks actually, but shouldn't all the footage they release be "better footage"

      I mean, for some people all they need is one bad video to change their opinion... it doesnt make sense to put out any videos that don't make the game look absolutely awesome!

      If anything, their going backwards. The Yankees Vs. Red Sox gameplay looked better, the Brewers Vs. Mets gameplay showed off some awesome stances. The Phillies Vs. Red Sox gameplay wasn't so great.

        Yeah, I have to agree with you on this one. Many over the top reactions to such a short and edited video. That said, some of the comments I read are probably going to be on the money with the final version. For example, I think most people are going to have to come to terms that the commentary and presentation didn't get the same MAJOR update as other parts of the game. "Theres always next year". :-)

          Hopefully Because Presentation is one of the major things this game is known for.

            True. The attention to detail the devs have given the series are the reason why the fans hold the game to a higher standard.

            I really think this game should be able to produce more on-screen stuff by this point: stats like career vs., count-specific stats, month stats, historical stuff that shows the game is tracking players and franchises.

              I think we all need to relax and enjoy one of the best sports game of all time!

                Really not sure what people are expecting here. 10 was arguably the best sports game of all-time, yet people want to see something completely different in 11? Doesn't make any sense.

                Anyways, personally, I know that to get a full scope of the gameplay improvements, especially in this series, I have to actually PLAY the game. So much of the year-to-year improvements are tied to feel with The Show that I'm not gonna judge harshly based on a video. Besides, I have nothing negative to say. Game looks stupid realistic, lighting is out-of-this-world, stances and deliveries aren't perfect but more than good enough (and better than any game's done in any baseball game) and just through a video, gameplay improvements are evident (like the aforementioned missed ball by the outfielder).

                Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but I'm just not really understanding what people's expectations are when it comes to annual sports game releases. Even the commentary isn't as bad as this poorly edited video shows. I look forward to release day anxiously.

                  Couldn't agree more. Baseball is a sport of statistics and matchups. We need to see this more. But we did get a sneal peek of it with the hits batsmen and overlays in this video, so its looking good hopefully more to come!

                    If only SCEA could have a blockbuster trade sending EK and Soup to 2k for their commentary.

                    Like noted by everyone else, they do not talk with each other. Seems very...weird.

                      They were talking to each other when we were there. Not to the level people are expecting, but far more than edited video can attest to.

                          I wanted to reply to this thread after watching the video a couple times, but I'm a little loopy from pain meds. So I'll just quote this response and say I feel the exact same way. I'm practically giddy to get my hands on the demo tomorrow and the full game on the 8th. Woohoo!

                            It sure doesn't say much for the commentary part of the game if they give you an option to mute any of the broadcasters! That aspect of the Show is definitely the weak link of the chain. I think there is a strong consensus among gamers to that effect.They ought to do something about it next year. I don't pretend I'm qualified enough to tell the guys at SCEA what to do, but perhaps they should copy what 2K does in that regard. Their commentaries are way better than the Show's. Granted, it's the only positive point I find in their game!

                              + 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, you can't 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.


                              Hmmm...

                              I actually hate to say it, but I agree with all of this - I am a lil' disappointed in seeing this video. I really wish I wasn't, but I am.

                              I already preordered and will be picking up the game anyway, but all I can say is, "wow - hmm..?"

                                I liked what I saw. New player models look great. Only thing that stuck out negative wise is the catchers stances. Would love to see more varied stances than just one. I also think they could do a better job of having the catcher set up on the corners.

                                Other than that, I'm super pumped for the demo tomorrow.
