• Road to The Show will feature a new non-linear decision making system, which will allow you to make big decisions that matter.
• More player and team specific personality will be included in this year's game.
• Spin of the ball off of the bat has been greatly improved with new hit types like curving hits down the line.
• Four new Historical Stadiums are included in the game. (Old Yankee Stadium, Hubert H. Humphry Metrodome, Shea Stadium, Sun Life Stadium) - Nice detective work 13SM13!
• All batter walkups in Diamond Dynasty will show the player card types on screen.
• Show Track allows for some new presentational elements in this year's game.
• More player specific home run swings.

Am I the only one excited that both Ken Griffey Jr and Sr are in the game?!


Man Ramone probably gave us some great information but dang technical difficulties caused us not to be able to hear.

This video put a nice big smile on my face to start the day!

New improved ball physics confirmed!

4 built from the ground up classic stadiums returning!

And Ramone Russell is one funny guy!

Can't wait to hear about all the new info in the coming weeks!

The first feature bleeped out had the same amount of syllables as "Player Models". I'm calling it now!

to be totally honest, i doubt it. I do bet though that they are working slowly on new player models. but probably will not see those in the game for another couple releases. Im sure its something they will/want to do but its something that will also take a huge amount of time to do considering they would have to redo all the animations with new models. and since this game releases every year its something that is slowly being done when devs find time to work on them a bit over time.
