First screens just released, pretty sweet:

im sure it will continue the mainstay of every sports game. looks great in stills but one the animation starts you suddenly remember it's a game. jerkyness between keyframes? yup.......unsteady framerate?......sure.....and on and on.

This is the kind of baseball game I want to play. Screw realism.

Looking good so far. I dug the Slugfest series for what it was and good ol' fashioned arcade baseball always hits the spot (ala Ken Griffey, Baseball Stars series, Baseball Simulator 1.000..etc). I'll keep an eye out for this one.

Agreed...arcade-style ftw. Also should play the best on the Wii if Wii Sports baseball is any indication. When is it being released?

I wish someone would do a baseball game similar to Blitz: The League where you inject your players with steroids before games. It wouldn't have the official MLB license obviously but who cares; it's pretty easy to spoof real baseball players accurately.
