I wonder if they fix the delay. In 11, you practically have to swing just after the ball leaves the pitchers hand.

I played baseball on the Wii and I don't remember there being any delay at all when swinging the Wii controller.
Now this is so enticing!
I'm a bit surprised Move will be introduced so quick right after the pure analog last year, but if this actually works just like real stuff, the Show will be a really, really fun game to play. I've been quite amazed how sensitive Move is, and it will be a good sport game to showcase its ability as well... (On the other hand, using Move with the HR derby in MLB11 isn't really fun at all...)
(What I hope is eventually the pitching interface also becomes like real life with Move... probably harder to do than hitting, but it will be cool to be able to actually pitch with your body/arm! Good exercise as well!!)
It looks like getting Michael Jackson The Experience was a wrong Move for me after all!
Edit: Right, something like the delay in response, if really present, needs to be addressed... it can be a deal breaker for choosing among different interfaces...

I'm excited about this news. Played the crap out of The Show 09. Skipped 10 as was still happy with 09. Played a ton of MLB11 this year and was thinking might skip 12 but if The Move is integrated well I might have to change my thinking. Granted the Home Run Derby support last year left a little to be desired, but I liked the concept of swinging rather than just pushing buttons or moving joypad. Hope it works and is fun. I just got The Move a week ago as part of a cheap Tiger Woods bundle package Best Buy was running and I like it. But don't really see any other games that use The Move that are any good so hopin The Show 12 is.
(Sidenote, how can there not be a good Tennis game out there that uses The Move. Or boxing. Or even bowling. The Move technology seems pretty good--wish there were good in-depth games that used it. It is nice to be able to move around when playing a game instead of just sitting there and it is a more immersive experience I think.)

Right. This is the kind of reaction the Show needs. To me, it seems the Move is synced perfectly with the paddle.

Gradiator Duel is fun as well. Amazing how fine you can control the sword and the shield with Move. It will be amazing in the Show, eventually!
I'm really excited to see how the player models interact with us controlling the bat when we're in our stances. Is it possible that we can kind of "makeshift" our own versions of their stances while they're batting? For instance, if I wanted to give myself a Griffey pose when batting, it might be reflective in-game as I'm batting with somebody?
Or do you think they scrapped out the "stance" portion this year that was in the floating bat mechanism for HRD last year, and they'll just have their stance until you swing with them?

But I can reasonably assure Move will be much, much more realistic than analog, because there's a lot more detailed info you can transmit between the game and the controller.
Now, if you have a bunch of Move sticks and attach them to your body and do something similar to motion capture, that's another story but I don't think the time is ripe for it...
But theoretically possible... maybe next generation gaming...
thats nice, but playing 162 games every at bat.
I can see alot of injuries, especially those that really want to swing like they are really playing.
it woudl be nice if they had a life size bat also, to work with.

I bought a different one then this and it worked OK. But my son took it outside and used it as a lightsaber so it's broken now...

I can't see playing every at bat with this. I didn't read the article but I wonder if u can assign Move functionality to certain players on ur team so u don't have to use the Move for every at bat.

I'm not sure if I missed it in the article but surely we will be able to use the move with our RTTS player right?

I know that SCEA is obviously a Sony company, and Move is a Sony product, but this is not a feature for die-hard console fans or baseball fans.
Yes, you get to swing a bat but it will never replicate the true "live" experience and playing with a control in this scenario ironically does it more justice.
I am sure Sony is making them make this, but I think other things should come as priority. Just my 2 cents.
However still very cool for those who will enjoy it.

I don't know if you've used Move before, but I'm quite impressed by the controller. The HR derby in MLB11 was a letdown but I think you see what I mean if you've played Table Tennis in Sports Champions.

Remember companies (Sony in this case) always try to sell their product to a broader audience to increase sales. SCEA always listens to us hardcore fans but ofcourse also have to keep sales in mind otherwise this game won't get another chance upcoming years.
I must say I've never been interested in the move. Hearing about the little lag and the fact you only could see a floating bat kept me from even trying. But now hearing you see the actual player I'm getting curious, if the lag is gone as well I will definitely give it a try! Having friends over and swing for the fences with your favourite player in homerun derby (or the actual game in '12) will be a blast.

The whole Move integration is very exciting and as usual I hate to be the pessimist but I am not a fan of Move (nor do I own it). When I get home from a long day, I am happy to be a couch potato pressing (and totally mis timing) X for a swing.
I'd love to see the analog functions better defined for example and the entirely new ball physics has me drooling.
Sure there is huge potential in this but I am just hoping there are enough improvements to keep us core (and perhaps boring) players interested.
