Shohei Otani in The Show

Re: Shohei Otani in The Show

I have him as a P with secondary as OF. He can play both. He does not show up as an option on the lineup screen, hence the frustration, lol.

ok gotcha,

so it really doesn't work then, it shows can be changed in a roster but something has to change in the game for lineups for this to work I guess

I don’t believe in curses.

well, then explain sports in San Diego and Buffalo.

Largely organizational problems or the fact that anything can happen during the course of a game. I’m a Vikings fan (family is from North Dakota) and I still don’t believe in curses.

Re: Shohei Otani in The Show

I feel they’ll figure something out. He’s not the only one.

I think the guy from the Gameplay trailer was a hitter and pitcher.
Mr. Babe Ruth.

And as someone previously mentioned a TB Ray prospect, is a 1B/P highly touted prospect.

And this past draft Hunter Greene was drafted as a P/SS.

Gotta be something implemented to accommodate Ohtani and Ruth

For them to already have his batting stance in tells me that they have something planned for him.

Re: Shohei Otani in The Show

here is the problem with implementing this.

Say Otani is starting and chosen as a starter then you get to the lineup screen, Otani shows up there as well.

technically he could Pitch a game and start in the lineup in the game as well. the moment they allow us to put pitchers into DH role or into the lineup it screws the entire coding of the game.

a code would have to be put in so that if someone is a starter they won't show up in the lineup screen.

the fact that Otani will be a exportable player too, means we could make any player we want a 2 way player if they do put this in the game.

That could be as simple as them using the same logic they use in game where the other pitchers show up in the bench/bullpen screen but not the pitcher on the mound.

Re: Shohei Otani in The Show

It could just be as easy as letting all pitchers that aren't the current starting pitcher show up on the lineup screen. It'll look a little messy, but it'll get the job done.

Re: Shohei Otani in The Show

I vote we just wait for the game to come out instead of speculate about what it would or wouldn't take to get it in.

So we should not say anything and potentially be stuck with whatever ends up happening for all next year, and not talk about possible solutions on a forum that the developers frequent and could potentially implement before the game is finished?

We did that last year with Bethancourt.....

Nope, you can say what you want man.

I just gave my vote. Doesn't matter to me either way.


There is a LOT of weird speculation in this thread about programming and what is easy/not easy to do (from both sides).

You're free to keep speculating all you want, just think it may be easier to just wait and either complain or rejoice later. They already know what the wish is for this.

Re: Shohei Otani in The Show

if we just got a simple yes or no today in the stream because it was asked 100 times. then we wouldn't have to keep speculating about it. I mean we got the answer about create a stadium for god sake and that is a franchise question.

It shouldn't be a big secret it's not going to be the difference to someone buying or not buying the game.

There is probably a good reason they just ignored the question. 2 possible ones

1. Legal issues surrounding the situation

We all know that the player has to be a part of the players association to be included in the game and Otani has never played a game yet. So I think right there it tells us its a "No". However, what intrigues me is that they not only have his stance in the game and its listed under his name tells me that something might be different regarding him and the rest of the players coming over from other leagues in the past.

2. They are working on the implementation of 2 way players and aren't ready to say either way.

Yea something is up, since like you said they have his stance mo-capped and Im guessing they have his delivery as well.
