wow. very impressive. The Dodger fans in the crowd are very realistic as Dodger fans make up about 40% of crowd at games here in the bay during the last few years.

They sure do, all we need are "GIANTS SUCK!" chants in their own park.

If we can't do jeer chants for the HOME team, that should be in next years game.

Lol! I agree- the good ol' days when Giant fans actually cared about their team.!

I LOVE the fact that it's as hard as hell to follow the pitches towards homeplate. If real batters have issues, then we should too!

It's because it is off, I don't know what he's talking about.

Well i don't follow the giants, but I catched some of their games last year. Winn, Renteria and Molina's seem to be pretty accurate in my opinion.

Check Molina's batting stance in this (SLO-MO) Video

Could be, maybe the player models aren't helping me see it either. Or it could be I didn't get to see the Giants much last year and maybe he's altered it. Now I didn't say it wasn't close, I just said it was off. Winn of all players was the reason I made my post. I thought that was pretty bad, actually. Molina is close, not gonna lie. I just thought he was more off than I remember.

Again, maybe it's the player models or something, not sure. I just didn't see the stance being "SPOT ON!!!!!1"

EDIT: And that video doesn't show his stance. It shows his positioning before his stride, and nothing else. Honestly, that hurt your point more than helping it. What I mean is if you showed a regular video it would have helped more. In the game, his stance is squared toward the pitcher... already off. Bat movement is similar, but Molina in real life doesn't really go below horizontal and doesn't do that Burnitz-like bounce.

Again, I didn't say it wasn't close, nor am I saying that the "other game" does it better (in fact I don't even know if it has his stance). I'm just saying that "spot on" maybe isn't the proper term here. The simple fact that the player has an individual stance is enough for me to appreciate his stance regardless, so I'm not really disappointed either way. What I despise more than anything is seeing repeat generic stances on my team, so I'm just glad that I won't see that.

And one thing Stances and follow throws are difference. Maybe that is what you are seeing. I don't think you are ever going to see a game with players real follow throws.

P.S. I know it is Follow-Through.
LOL actually I thought you guys were talking about follow-through. What I was saying is the YouTube video shows everything from the end of the stance on. As in, we didn't see bat movement or anything. But by positioning alone we could see that the feet were different, and seeing a top-down view isn't really "proof" either way.

Again, I'm not disappointed that they're off, I was just stating that they were off, even by a slight margin. But the best news is that I can go into create-a-player and choose from a Molina stance and a Winn stance, as opposed to two good players per team and some generics. I'm glad they have unique stances, above all things. They resemble the player very well, but they are off and I wouldn't mind if they reconsidered the stance a little bit when they supposedly have to redo them whilst redoing the player models.

And again, I think the models could be throwing me off a bit too. Molina looks a little "stretched" so it's not helping what I think his stance really looks like.

Oh I know. It's all Scott Boras he rejected the offer. the guy was quoted as saying 'the owners can't/shouldn't use the economy as an excuse". get out of here is all i have to say Boras is a joke I swear.

duplicates in the crowd, pitching animations, batting stances, and player models are cringe worthy but other than that looks sweet

Oh no, you are right! My mistake guys, for some reason I was heard the name Burriss and was thinking of Orioles' pitcher Brian Burres -- haha no idea why...anyways thanks for the correction
