MLB '10: The Show Video: Throw Meter Improvements

[HITTERSAURUS REX]

Nice instructional/how to video Russell:
Not only were mlb10's ingame tutorial self explanatory but this added video should further help those that didn't know the potential of its intentions.

On a side note:
I did address this in your fielding Feedback thread which is found on Post #8
CLick> SCEA Sports - MLB 10 Feedback Forum (let me know what you think)

Got a question here about this new throwing mechanic vs using standard throwing.

If i use standard throwing where you press the button and your "puppet" throws the ball at only one speed the same as powering up the meter for a strong throw, regarding accuracy? Am i missing out on some realistic gameplay element by not using it?

Great video. Would love to see more of these that explain in detail how various game mechanics work.

Imo yes because you are missing out on the diversity/ability/or lack there of your players on the field.

How so? Will players with higher attributes for throwing be better if i use the meter?

I was thinking that the meter was possibly only brought in for more user interaction? Which i'm not against by the way but like pitching i stick with classic over meter because i want the attributes to play out more than whether or not i can time a button release.

Did the devs comment much on this when you were in SD. Thanks.

PS: I'll give it a whirl and see how i do.

The player's attributes are reflected better by being tied to the meter. You get a better feel on who your stronger and weaker players are as far as strength and accuracy go.

I still would like to see a true throw cancel mechanic.
