Hopefully 3D grass like NCAA and Madden.

Absolutely awesome! I am so happy they are adding more umpires. Especially since last year it seemed as if there wasn't as much consistency with each umpires strike zone, as compared to 11. Now adding in 14 more umpires and each of them having their own personality will put this part of the game over the top. This makes me extremely happy.

I'm so happy they finally decided to add new cleats.

I agree. Hopefully each personality is really defined.

Filll me in on personalities. Is that how they call the game and stuff like that? 14 different variations of strike zones/calls?

Yep, exactly. It would be really cool if each had a different temper level which would effect how fast they would throw people out of a game.

Very nice improvements. Looking forward to MLB 12 The Show in March for ps3.

Does anyone know how many different umpire rotations are in MLB 11: The Show?

We gotta get a Wiki page on these guys.

I agree this game is due for Madden-ish grass. The green carpet is getting a bit stale and boy would that enhance the look of the game. That's the one truly artificial looking thing remaining in The Show.
