I think they should concentrate on enhancing the level of realism during the game itself, the ball game. It needs a bunch of guys to create a scenario you wish to see in "The Show" and that means that a certain amount of time would be necessary to put all that into practice. Personally I think it's better to focus on everything that happens during a ball game instead of maybe pulling out a couple of guys on the production team in order to create a scene like the one you suggested. That namely reminds me of a certain pro football simulation whose makers rather believe in minor matters than realism of gameplay...

Like How they do it on Fox Saturday baseball. Like how cool would it be if we had something like this play before every game. It don't have to be exactly like this but something simular. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZ7dN...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tj1M7...ture=endscreen And then also when they are showing the starting line ups they should show the players photo one by one with the announcer talking about some of them. Even the way 2K Baseball does it is very good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcZgu...eature=related

No doubt, these are some nice trailers. Maybe someday they will focus a whole lot more on presentation. Who knows...

Well, they are boring IMO. I understand they work hard, but we have every right to be "critical." That is not to be confused with being hostile or calling them lazy because they do a great job. Just because they work hard doesn't mean that everything they do is perfect. I worked hard on certain projects before and recieved criticism (hell, even when the guy was behind a monitor lol). The point is that it was a valid comment. To me, they are boring. Of course, that will not deter me from purchasing the product because that's a subtlety that can easily be overlooked.

Intros and commentary are the only things 2K has ever done better than The Show, but 2K's graphics are atrocious and kill every animation in their game.

I'd just be happy seeing various close-ups of fielders taking ground balls, batters/pitchers warming up, etc (real things you'd see just before a game starts), instead of the minute long zoomed-out shots of the scoreboards and players staring at their bat.

bingo.
many of the pre game cut scenes are head scratchers.
The guy staring at his bat is a killer. lol

why not crowd shots?
no exterior shots?
no dugout shots?
its the same cut scenes from ps2.

they need to take a page out of nba 2ks book, its insane for those who haven't seen it.
a truly spectacular tv presentation.
and it improves EVERY year.

a quick and dirty idea on hat to do in terms of pregame.
Have A new announcer do the beginning part [the 'coming up next' one] showing in a split screen, the two starting pitchers and discussing them, and adding something like the yankees try to go for the sweep behind the big man cc sabathia.

then fade to black and into the announcer intro.
They have one focus on a player to watch
then after have the third to a keys to the game for one team

then the linueps, with analysis.
then the defensive setup with a thought or two.

then the pitcher OSD

then a cut to each manager as they pace of rock back and forth, then

gametime.
