All 30 Authentic Broadcast Camera Angles in MLB 11: The Show
One slick new feature that both baseball titles are providing this year are the unique television broadcast camera angles that are tailored to the specifics for each stadium. The same angle and zooms used to watch the games on TV are represented by selecting "Broadcast". With MLB 11: The Show not only does the angle vary from stadium to stadium but the placement of the pitching meter does as well.

MLB 11: The Show Franchise Sim Results

MLB 11 Cover Creating Some Confusion
When Joe Mauer was announced as The Show's cover athlete for the second year in a row it was perceived somewhat as an uninspired decision. Beyond that though there wasn't much consideration given to how a similar cover to the previous iteration would affect the game as it related to retailers and in turn consumers. Some of the potential concerns are now being realized. Earlier this week sightings of copies on store shelves began and in some cases the game has even been sold early by mistake...
