Re: ***Official Community Preview Questions Thread***

I'm just hoping the team has continued to tweak the zone hitting mechanic. It appeared that the overall mechanic was previously not fully fleshed out so I'm hoping they continued to tweak that (which from what I read in previous previews they are).

I also wish we could get a straight explanation for why they have refused to do anything about the fielding mechanic in this game. Every year we have to deal with the same broken mechanic for controlling the stregnth behind throws as well as the same archaic one-button method that's been around since the old console ages.

i know you can control all teams but you have to off injuries to do so. I want there to be injuries to and let me know who goes on the dl on who to bring up from the minors but still let me control the lineups etc. That is total roster control.

Sup man, get on msn sometime so we can talk!

anyways i think the guys that are going down there are:
Jim, knight, nemesis, pared, pastapadre and mlblover, but for some reason he got knocked out.
great bunch if u ask me

Re: ***Official Community Preview Questions Thread***

that is a very very good group....

i am very interested in what nemesis has to say about legend mode because like us he had too easy of a time to hit.

I had to edit so many players ratings to get better challenge and even though it was accomplished , it didn't feel natural. hopefully that changes this year and we can have a true zone hitting system and have headaches facing the great pitchers. I want to feel frustrated when facing the best most the times and rely on grinding out runs to have a chance to win in that particular game.

just got on MSN but you weren't on.....

talk to u later Bruno...

I hope is not to late for this one --

gameplay
Could you please check to see if the problem when the first baseman is involve in a cut-off situation (i.e. runners on 2nd or 3rd - single to the CF ) has been resolved ?. The way it has been in the SHOW for the past years is that the first baseman position himselft few steps of the 1st base (not between 2nd base and the pitcher's mound as it should ). So when you throw to the cut-off man from the CF the ball travel all the way from CF to almost 1st base - so no chance to get the runner at the plate.

In theory it should be has shown in the picture

Yes! The cut off positions definitely needed work last year.

Re: ***Official Community Preview Questions Thread***

i'm hoping that you can decide if you want to cutoff a ball thats in mid flight this year.

That would be very cool as the cutoff man is really a relay man in all baseball games. This would really be useful on throws to home where the pitcher could cut it and throw a runner out at second.

Re: ***Official Community Preview Questions Thread***

yeah or if your like me and press home when you meant to press 2nd

No.

You can change your queue for throwing, however, as I don't recall that being in last year.

So if you're holding 3rd while your outfielder is getting ready to field the ball, then realize you'd rather hit the cut off, you can change it before makes the throw attempt. But you can't catch a throw with the CO man once it has been released.

You cannot sorry!

Re: ***Official Community Preview Questions Thread***

ok thanks for answering that, i'll have to work more on my 2nd instead of home button, lol.

ps: i wonder why they don't put that in though, is it something that is difficult to do or just an oversite?

Re: ***Official Community Preview Questions Thread***

I wondering if the MLB style guide has the new Rangers uniforms so that they made it into the game?
