Will someone do some homework in reference to Online Play & League Play:

Dips in frame-rates. Will SCEA provide support to League Admins ala 2K. Lobbies etc, etc, etc

I plan to spend some time with this portion of the game. Its important!

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

I've gone ahead and stickied this thread. I've also changed the title to Official Community Preview Questions Thread.

Please remember to try to follow the form that Knight has set up on the first page, and to keep the comments limited. This way the community leaders can have easier access to the information.

Thanks, and keep up the good work guys!

Re: I guess I'll take point....Please list any questions you have- Community Preview

GAMEPLAY

~ Can you finally charge a ball with an outfielder and unleash a strong throw to a base with full momentum ?

~ Did they address the infield issue regarding not being able to make roughly 90% of fielding plays when running sideways because the catch animation rarely triggered ?

MODE

~ Can you find out what improvements were made to SEASON mode

A.I.

~ Will lineup substitutions and batting orders be more realistic when the A.I. rests players this year ?

Brilliant thread Knight.

Between the 6 "chosen ones" they will no doubt cover ALL the posers we as a community want answering.

Its things like this that make OS what it is

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

My first question pertains to Batting Stances and Pitching Motions:

How many are all new? We know they got Batting Stance Guy to do the batting stances, but who worked on the pitching motions?

As for Batting Stance Guy, did he work on other things besides just batting stances? For example, did he do HR poses? Follow-through's? Rituals?

My other question is on Accessories:

Others have already asked if there are more accessories in the game. If we can change the color of armbands, wristbands, gloves, etc. But I'm pretty sure, going by the screenshots we have seen, that these things are not in the game.

My question for you guys to ask is WHY?! Why, after all these years, does The Show have such a lack of accessories? Why can't we change the colors of players gloves? Batting gloves? Armbands? What is the reason why they have ignored this part of the game no even though we ask for it year after year?


Thanks!

The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. You can't expect to learn everything about the game in a couple of early screen shots.

Anyway there are new accessories in the game can't reveal what they are or how many at this time.

From what we hear, the game will be finished, so adding stuff before release is a little late.
