Not sure how old you guys are...or how long you have been gamers...but a few years back on Dreamcast...there was World Series 2K1.
This game was ahead of its time and the visuals were off the chain. Games prior looked like NES games while this game on dreamcast could probably hold up pretty well to todays graphics except they were 10 years ago. The game looked awsome players had signature stances etc...
the teaser vids made you go CRAZY for it.
until you played it and realized that fielding was automated and there were a bunch of gameplay flaws that made this a beautiful game...yet unplayable. SO until I hear about the control scheme (which is been kept a huge secret) I am worried for this game.
I really want it to be great...but them not discussing how the ground will be handled at this stage is more than concerning.
Here is a some vid...this was baseball games prior to WS2k1
