There are day and night games, as well as weather effects, which are new to this edition. The sound is yet another shining reason to purchase this title. The music between menus is very cool and very clear, featuring Soul Coughing among others. During the game the sound is so good that you will expect to go to commercial between innings. It is that good.
Players walk to the batter s box to music.
The stadium announcer is dead on while introducing players. Even the play by play announcers sound like something right out of the television. The illusion is very real I assure you. The only short point about the announcing is that eventually after playing through an entire season, they seem to run out of different things to say. Like I said, the illusion is very real.
