thanks for the link Mr S.

The fake to third and throw to first looks great along with the pickoff attempts to second base.

Yankee stadium looks awesome.

That looks pretty sweet, hopefully I'll be able to get a few more pickoffs than the 1 I've had in the last year of playing '09.

Not sure the CPU needs any more help with me at the controls though - I'm a sucker for setting off on the pitcher's first move.

Finally some Cliff Lee at Safeco! Loving the 3rd to 1st!

The new Pickoff system is really really great...but finally i have seen it Ichiro still has no base runner gloves

Looks great... it's going to make it more challenging to steal in RTTS now.

The clips of Cliff Lee at Safeco were amazing!

I wasn't that excited about this feature but after seeing this I'm sold on it. Great stuff, as I always have difficulty picking off runners in RTTS. Hopefully the new moves will increase the chances of a successful pickoff.

If the probability of throwing a runner out differs based on the throw you select, I think it'll add a new level of strategy. Knowing you may have to rely on the new throws to confuse the Crawfords of the world instead of the standard '08 and '09 pickoff is exciting. Hopefully the AI also reacts differently to a "fake" throw than to a normal pickoff, as I would hate to see Prince Fielder turn into the second coming of Rickey Henderson on a first-to-third move.

Looking forward to it!

Same here... might sound kind of geeky but I actaully have that on my phone as a ringtone lol (although I've had to take if off until MLB 10 comes out because everytime it goes off I get that "urge")
