MLB '10: The Show Screenshots

[TeixeiraFanatic]

That picture of Mauer catching just blows my mind. The catcher gear looks so amazing. Can't wait to see this game in action.

I think that Mauer is probably the cover boy but I would like to see Albert on there.

First off, I don't see the need for new player models.

However if all animations need to be redone, is it really worth it to everyone to essentially start over with this series? Just a question.

If the choice was starting over or adding more and more animations, I'll take the added animations with these models.

Agree with most comments. Screenshots are nice to look at, but don't really tell us much. Was nice to see HR derby. I hope its done well. It has the opportunity to be a great, fun feature, or just a bland thing that I'll play when I first get the game, and then not again.

To make it interesting, they gotta add lots of options on cameras (watching the damn thing fly is 1/2 the fun!), record keeping, distance records (including wind, stadium, date). Collision detection is paramount.

Models are fine for me. Always have been. Hoping for more options on playable cameras (especially fielding to show off the stadiums and ball flight more). Other gameplay issues hopefully improved. Can't wait.

Agreed, and that's my point I guess. Why mess with the best sports sim of all time, IMO? If all animations need to be rebuilt from the ground up, I'm assuming there is no chance they could get all of that done in one year. So we'd be essentially regressing. Why would anyone want that?

And what is specifically wrong with the current models? Again, just asking... as I'm more of a stickler for things like, oh I don't know....guys in bullpens and dugouts

what about new color bats????????

I'm pretty sure players wear their all-star jerseys in the home run derby (which is really the only time they wear them in real life). It would be cool if they just wore hats instead of helmets.

And I really hope you have the option to play it in the middle of your franchise seasons. I'd be very surprised if you don't.
