Parks feature Jumbotrons that clearly display the action as it happens. The only negative with the parks is the look of the crowd. For the most part the crowd is modeled as a smooth collage of colored patches. But the first few rows will sport detailed faces that look like something out of the Goldeneye game. It's actually kind of creepy looking.
Animations are everywhere in the game.
Acclaim has motion captured everything imaginable. The animations tend to be recycled frequently. For example, if a player strikes he usually tosses the bat up in the air and quickly snags it by the barrel. Baserunning utilizes a variety of animations. Sliding into a base is either head or feet first, and you can actually try to evade the tag by sliding around the defense.
