Also, when a batter takes a pitch, his head doesn't show much movement, never watching the ball's progress. I also have to say that I don't see the strikes being taken, and in fact, you could argue these batters are swinging at a lot of first pitch balls. Obviously, the majority love this game, so it's doing things right. I'm just a little underwhelmed with the amount of hype it has received and what I've actually seen.

If you played it, you would know what all the hype is about.
Unbelievable game, my friend. You should try it sometime.

Nice vid. The shadows are nice, and the scoreboard is finally updated. They even have the Legends Club in the wall. There even seemed to be a small hurricane blowing the Bay waters in the background.

You're as bad as that Mark fellow, lol. I said, ahem, that when the game is in motion it's difficult to pickup on duplicates in the crowd. Last year it was easy to see the duplicates when the game was in motion. And unless you're a freeze frame kind of guy, I stand by that.

Sick video, but why is everyone wearing long sleeves? I hope they fixed the glitch from last year.

People out West are fragile, the temp drops 5 degrees and they think the ice age is coming!

I think many stances were off (aka every Giants player that came up to bat), but I'm not about to dawn on negatives right now.

So true.
