Re: Mlb 12 the Show "Playsation Move" Preview

I'm really excited to see how the player models interact with us controlling the bat when we're in our stances. Is it possible that we can kind of "makeshift" our own versions of their stances while they're batting? For instance, if I wanted to give myself a Griffey pose when batting, it might be reflective in-game as I'm batting with somebody?

Or do you think they scrapped out the "stance" portion this year that was in the floating bat mechanism for HRD last year, and they'll just have their stance until you swing with them?

I don't think that would be possible with Move... Basically the only info you can give with the Move stick is how you orient and move your bat, and *not* how you actually move your body.

But I can reasonably assure Move will be much, much more realistic than analog, because there's a lot more detailed info you can transmit between the game and the controller.

Now, if you have a bunch of Move sticks and attach them to your body and do something similar to motion capture, that's another story but I don't think the time is ripe for it... But theoretically possible... maybe next generation gaming...

thats nice, but playing 162 games every at bat.
I can see alot of injuries, especially those that really want to swing like they are really playing.
it woudl be nice if they had a life size bat also, to work with.

Not quite lifesize but there are a few decent third party accesories out there.



I bought a different one then this and it worked OK. But my son took it outside and used it as a lightsaber so it's broken now...

That's what I was thinking. Me bending my knees wouldn't do anything for the player, unless our calibration means that the camera knows the proper height and facing of the controller to do these very things for us. Probably not, though.

I can't see playing every at bat with this. I didn't read the article but I wonder if u can assign Move functionality to certain players on ur team so u don't have to use the Move for every at bat.

it'd be nice if they would allow us to play something other than 162 game seasons. How about letting us shorten the season so that instead of playing 3 game series you can play 2 or even 1 for a really short season. I can never make it through a full season, i hate to sim games and 162 games is just so much to play.

I'm not sure if I missed it in the article but surely we will be able to use the move with our RTTS player right?
