Sorry, LOL. When i talk about following ball flight for a brief instance i'm talking when you are hitting not when you are pitching so fielding doesn't come into play.

Touché, but I don't think they can necessarily separate the two like that. Maybe, but I don't know.

You are misinformed. There's not much else to say.

If commentary will be your sole reason for passing, it will be your loss.

Don't take it personal but I have been watching the videos being posted on various sites.

Commentary is presentation to me. If I keep hearing the same thing year after year then it becomes a turnoff. NCAA is probably the worst offender of all-time thus is why I will be skipping this years if once again it is overlooked.

Ball physics are great and I love how they went in and fixed that. However, the game play has been solid for me but the presentation has been lacking. Again, don't take it personal but I am not buying into the hype machine or the 50% build this and that story that happens every single time a sports game comes out. The videos look good. Commentary sounds the same. To me that is not worth dropping another $60 when MLB 11 is already solid.

The commentary sounds dull and boring, the same as last year! When I heard they were adding true broadcasting features, i thought they meant new and improved commentary, not the same old boring **** we've heard since day one. The new other broadcasting features truly do show there, also I see a lot of new animations and edited bating stances.

We haven't seen a blog about it or a longer video clip.....maybe you'll be surprised.

I hope you are right as that is my only issue with the series. Yeah the rainouts and delays is another but at least I know to no longer ask or hope to see it in the future.

I can only hope that two solid baseball games compete again as it is only a one horse race.

To me in my opinion not much of a upgrade. The same animations, the SS does thesame little hop after getting the ball from the left fielder hops turns around jogs a little, every SS has that same movement. Same with 1st basemen a 3rd out they just kinda walk backwards slowly and throws the balls towards the mound which is fine it looks great but just some other movements. Also I wonder if they have enough time or already did, put the new LED board up in Wrigley above the right field wall.

I hope so too. It either means its been vastly improved and they're keeping it a secret for now, or, that they didn't improve it at all and they don't want to be bashed about it already.

Man, people are already bashin' it, so what's the difference ? Some people expect way too much. SCEA's development team isn't sitting on millions and millions of dollars to hire different commentators and stuff like that.

It's gotta be expensive just to even have Matt Vasgersian come in and record a bunch of new stuff. He's on the MLB Network. He's not gonna work for cheap.

[metsfan4life1]

Thats only because of this video and the lack of any new, and exciting lines.

I would imagine that it comes down to the development cycle and prioritization....Not that it's low on the list, but I would guess they've got a long line of features that needed attention to create a better title year to year.

Spot on and I understand that new commentary isn't on most people's wishlist as many just turn it off. Commentary is what makes the game fresh and new. I can go every two years but after that it becomes stale.

something i also wish they would add, this sounds like bitching but its true, is More wristband and wrist tape options, Like Some players have longer or shorter wrist tape, not all at the same length, and also longer wristbands. There's only two wristband options for the wrist, small and wide.. they're should be three, like in MLB 2K; small, medium, and large. Pujols wears one thats two of the shows wide ones, they took that one out in 11, doesn't make any sense.

It wasn't taken out. The new player models with the old equipment was the issue.

Explain in a little more detail, please.(not said in a rude voice BTW)

The older wrist and arm bands were built with the older player models from '10 and below.

They made new player models for '11 and had to make the new bands work how it is for now.

New equipment is on the radar every year. They added new ones already this year, (new cleats, batting gloves, batting gloves under fielding gloves, new rim styles on hats, new glasses, compression sleeves, catcher shins, etc).

Just add it to the wish list is all I can say for next year.
