If you want to eliminate the control/animation issues, then set the Auto Field option on, but with human throwing.
What this does is allow the AI controlled fielder to field based on his set paremeters, but the human player interacts to tell the fielder where to throw the ball.
Because you can pre-load a throw before the ball is in the glove, the animation is seamless and very smooth with no hesitation. I have been playing this way with 08 and it works great, and the games are more realistic.Comment

Re: MLB 09 The Show Preview
The hitting being the same concerns me a little. I was hoping hitting would be a bit harder, and a little less laser beam shots. I'll still be buying it because its the best sports game out there, I was just hoping for a little more tweaking to the hitting engineComment

Also, if the controls are hitting are the same, it doesn't mean the actual hitting is.Comment

Re: MLB 09 The Show Preview
Well, he said the controls and "feel" were the same. I'm okay with this because both were fine. It was the window to make contact that was the problem (IMO).
Russell already stated that it has been at least reduced for Legend difficulty and that sliders are improved. I think we'll all have a much better idea after our boys get back from SD.
As for the review, sounds good. My only concern was (as some mentioned) that the fielding still sounded very "tempered" as far as user controlled. That's another thing we probably won't be able to say much about until the guys who share our concerns about this stuff plays.
No worries

thanks for being honest about the pay, at least it is not like the payola that the mags have going. I also think that your honest would prove that you would write exactly what you felt about the game. Keep up the good work.GM of the KC Royals in the OS Arbitration ThreadOriginally posted by theengineComment

Re: MLB 09 The Show Preview
Exceptional preview Chase.
That is the best new piece of information I've seen regarding The Show in awhile. May seem ridiculous, but I'm a sucker for differentiated lighting of that sort. Now they can just get some rain in next yr & were all set.Comment

Re: MLB 09 The Show Preview
Thanks Chase. I can't wait until they really go into depth in franchise mode. Although I am aware of the many additions, I am anxious to find out how it plays. Good work guys at SCEA. You have made millions of consumers happy over the years. I will buy 2 copies this year to show my support for your company

Re: MLB 09 The Show Preview
The fielding animations are a good thing imo. It's some of the throwing animations that need to be fixed and/or eliminated. One of the reasons the Show is so great is the presentation. The little things that make it look like you are watching a real baseball game.
I actually like animation driven fielding at times. You shouldn't be able to run full speed to pick up a ball at the wall. The fact that an animation slowed him down while he picked up the ball was much more realistic, adds to the atmosphere and just screams real baseball. Would people rather take a player and run him at top speed into the wall without penalty and have the player just automatically pick up the ball in 2/10 of a second and turn a fire a bullet to the cut off man? Not me.
At other times there are shots hit down the baseline where a player in real life has a split second to react to make the play. A third basemen's quick back hand would be impossible for the user to create manually but beautiful to watch as an animation based on a player's attributes. Other animations to feature errors, juggled balls, etc. are also needed to make the game more like true baseball.
I agree that the Show needs to fix some things is in the throwing department. Once I have fielded the ball, the button press should determine how hard a ball gets thrown and not an animation. Predominately the infield throws that end up going slow even though we pressed the button hard and costing us outs. The fix to the short throws and other things look good to me so far. I'm sure the community guys will elaborate in a week for us!Comment
