Yeah it'd be perfect, if it was slightly open, with a toe tap, but this game doesn't really have any slightly open stances, only full blown open stances.

Still that stance is way better than before, hopefully he has his dreads in the game too.

Agreed. It's not perfect, but it's better then the one they had in the past two games.

The new scorecard looks nice. Looks more refreshing then it has been.

I've always hated using Alex Avila because his stance was weird, but it looks like they gave him a nice updated one. Same with Prince Fielder. Scoreboard is very cool and the graphic screen for players.

# 47 Doogie09 @ 01/09/13 03:43 PM

I didn't see the pitch type and speed flashing on the score bug. Did anyone else? I know MLB12 and 11 had it....

# 48 pdawg17 @ 01/09/13 04:06 PM

Hmmm...I buy the Show every year and will continue to but the things I want to see improved looks the same...outfielders that have "rubberbanding" and suddenly run in fast forward to make catches...if the commentary and onscreen stats are better though I will be thrilled...

Yeah, those are nice updates for them both. I found the perfect stance for Avila tho... I want to say generic 151? I'll have to check. Prince's stance is much better.

It's still there, just not set to display in that particular demo presentation settings.

Didn't see this mentioned, but the CPU AI for bullpens being updated would be huge for me. Lefty/lefty match-ups happen in every game in the late innings. The CPU should be smart enough to match-up accordingly in game. This has been a sore spot in previous versions.

I swear I get a heart warm smile every year when these videos come out and it starts with "Ramone Russell, Community Manager for MLB: The Show".

God I love that guy. He's the Will Smith of community managers. LOL

Guess you weren't here when a bunch Braves fans were incessantly asking about a cow and Coke bottle!

Actually its a small orange arrow pointing down or up depending on if its the top or bottom of the inning

It's getting to the point of the Portland trailblazer fans over in the 2k forum. And that's saying something.

Well the game does pride itself on detail and authenticity - I guess we just hold these devs to a higher standard, which is a good thing. Because the game is exceptional year in and year out we can pick on issues like these instead of some of the gameplay problems you see in the 2k and Madden forums. I do hope most of these issues get fixed though, so that us Jays fans can be happy and others don't have to hear us asking for fixes anymore (the Portland stuff in the 2k forum is pretty annoying)!

"...and in terms of the games graphics have they improved any?"

"UM...(PAUSE)...yes..."

I honestly don't know what I've been hoping for as far as improvements to this game?

Would to have to loved to seen better grass textures and possible better weather elements. But basically the biggest thing were player models and their clothing bagginess along with better pitching animations

Accumalating "K's" @ AT&T (displayed on the brich wall) must be back!!!

It's January, info JUST started surfacing, and Russell said in that video "blogs will start rolling out Monday".

Your concerns have not been addressed, because, literally, nothing has been addressed yet.

DD...don't man...just don't....

I don't get it either, but it's like a broken record with him.

Nothing you post is going to matter.
