Other players are represented as closely as possible using dynamic texture compositing. Over 1,300 Animations. It's the sheer volume of animation that lies at the very heart of the overpowering visual presentation. Projective Texture Shadows. Allows a player's shadow to fall realistically onto other players, and over details in the ballparks.
True reflections add one more aspect of realism.
Varied Levels of Detail. Four different levels of detail allow the game to delivery the perfect amount of polygonal detail and still maintain high frame-rates. Stunning in-game graphics and menus. Argue with Umpires. Mix it up with the umps, but don't go too far or you'll be ejected faster than Billy Martin on a hot summer day.
