Before a pitch that also has to flash - along with the strike zone, why?

It's making me crazy, please get rid of it! It's like that Justin Beiber video before last years World Series - this is baseball, it just doesn't belong! It might be better suited to NBA 2K because that sport is more "Showtime" or whatever. Big time baseball fans like me are slower paced people - the number cruncher types. That's why you still hear organ music playing in some ballparks. I don't want to feel like I'm playing a slot machine in a Vegas casino! These HDTV's are bright enough as it is, my eyes are going to hurt after a full 9 inning game.

If you want to add a little presentation "pop" here & there go ahead, but can you tone it down please or give us the option to turn it off?

Rant over, onto Top Spin...
Am I the only one that finds it humorous that a guy complaining about unnecessary flashy stuff uses those flashy and unnecessary emoticons? I can tell you that I find those emoticons 100x more annoying than anything in the demo.
