Does anyone else think this game will be awesome?

Well, there's a negatives thread, so there might as well be a positives thread.

I LOVE this game. Triple Play was a fun game to play, but this one seems to have worked out all the things that held back Triple Play. Here, in particular is what I love:

-EIGHTY balls in play. The only game I can think of with more scoring objects on the field is Maize Craze.
-A vision system that has been improved on.
-Autonomous is no longer an option. If you want to be successful, you're moving and doing something.
-Real-time scoring. Spectators will no longer have to rely on that goofball from South Carolina with his PDA to track the field--it's on the screen. Done deal. (And it removes the need for RTS, which frees up two volunteers for other things.)
-So many ways to play the game. Fast, slow, anywhere in between.

What else do you love about this game?
