I should send you my season ticket seat number at Marlins Park. That way you can hard code me always in it!

Only problem is the camera angle does not go up that high...

In all seriousness that kind of attention to details has always set this game apart. Much respect for doing that again!

1) Yes, they have increased slightly, we now require OpenGL 2.0 as a minimum and 256 MB of GPU memory (which is a very very low requirement nowadays).

2) I guess so, we purchased them and did not produce them ourselves. We will add more animations during the year though, and we are thinking about doing them via motion-capturing ourselves. That should be fun

I just have to say, as a person who burst simulates games, months and seasons, the way this year's game looks actually has me want to play games out. I was more of a high heat guy when it came to playing games out and this has went beyond my expectations for this year's game. Consider this my first pre-order.

Looks great! Well done guys.

[Jerry Helper]

This looks amazing!!!!

Honestly, having pitchers and batters displayed at the same time is enough of an upgrade for me. I love OOTP, but man it was annoying to always have to switch to pitchers if you wanted to start warming up a pitcher while your team was at the plate.

Now, when the play is underway, you can now have the widgets or even the top area hidden, so you only see the entire field

Does this mean they disappear during the play and come back between pitches? Or just hidden during the whole game?

During the play, yes.

So now that the players have legs, will there be a new option in the logos/uniforms settings to change the color of the pants separately?

[Calvert98]

I play-out all of my games and this looks awesome! The player pictures, the stadiums, the design, the players on the field, everything looks great.

Looks absolutely stunning, never once wanted to play games out in 3D before as I wasn't really a big fan of it, but the improvements shown here really really makes me want to play out every game in 3D. Excellent work guys, thank you.

We'll probably add that later in an update.

It's been a great team effort. Big shout out to Jorin who's put in a lot of effort to get the player models and animations working - he's been pushing us to get them into the game, and they work great. Even better was that they worked practically perfect right out of the box - I just flicked a switch and suddenly all the guys are running around on screen.

I do have to say, this makes me play out a lot more of my games than before. I can't just sim to the 6th inning, because I want to watch the action unfold

[cavebutter]

This looks amazing! I see many played-out games in my future.

[swoboda]

VA VA VOOOMMM !!!

I've been playing out all 162 for years how can anyone resist the temptation to play them out now ??

[BusterKing]

Holly molly, I play ALL my games in 3D and I just can't believe how awesome it looks. I am soooooo excited now to play this new version.

Congratulations, you guys just absolutely outdone yourselves.


Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!


Can we have a screenshot of the Toronto Rogers stadium please Markus?

[The Game]

Wow
Thats gonna be fun.

[BusterKing]

I noticed the screenshot of the PITCHES info box, I hope it will describe all the pitches correctly, I know one version didn't include it and we had to wait for a patch for the fix.

It is important for the one pitch mode so we see what is actually taking place with all the previous pitches.

I'm gonna go ahead and demand that this game get released, like, tomorrow. As someone that plays all my games, this is great work, guys!
