It was a very good time.
...and you're right on target with your props to the dev team but especially Ramone. TOP NOTCH guy....can't say enough about him.
(you too Kolbe! )

Indeed...

Speaking of "zonked"... I can ever avoid an issue...

We get off the plane in Jersey... and guess what guys, my flight was delayed an hour... okay, then another hour, then 3 hours

I guess they did not want to use that plane after inspection, so I had to wait for the ones that left for Albany to come back and take me where I needed to go.

I get back, and my GF's mother picked me up since it ran too late and my GF had to work, and she asked if I wanted to go out for lunch, and of course, I was speaking gibberish too, so she dropped me off at home

And yes, well worth it. Ramone is definitely pure class, as per usual, and of course you guys all rocked again.

Was cool meeting Glen, he fit right in with our sarcasm.

Thanks for the video, makes me jones even more!!!

Night and day between 10 and 11! Player models look fantastic. The one thing that struck out at me after watching the video was that the jersey sleeves for all players look too long and baggy, Jayson Werth style. I never noticed that in prior years. Is this due to the new player models? Most players IRL have their sleeves cut above the elbow with a tighter tailored look.

One thing I thought was quite cool was in the Prince Fielder at bat. He threw three straight outside sliders, and the human batter swung weakly at all three ... Is that some sort adaptive pitching intelligence? I don't necessarily remember seeing that sort of thing in MLB 10, where a CPU pitcher would consistently target an area the opponent is weak .... Maybe it was, but I don't recall. Thoughts?

For MLB '11, I don't know, but I think I can speak on this based on my experience in MLB '10 for MLB '10. In franchise mode, at the beginning of the game the CPU does not know what location you're sitting dead red on. Most of the time I guess low in the zone because I have trouble picking up low pitches. However, after the first 12 batters, the CPU would begin either start hammering high in the strike zone or away if I have had some moderate success, as in "hmm, this guy is hitting pitches down in the zone or laying off the ones well below the zone."

In RTTS it is a different story since each game is different.
