Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

Jim, are you allowed to say anything about the cut scenes, like is the homerun trot or foul ball scenes different?

Basically what you got last year, but a little different angles.

The guys who can bring the ball, they bring it. You are going to be quite happy with what they did with the pitch speeds, pitch breaks.

You can not start a game at any time you want. In exhibition mode it gives you the options of cloudy/overcast/clear, one more I think. In franchise mode it generates the times off the schedule, the only difference is when you see a game that is at dusk the lighting REALLY, I mean REALLY takes over. You have to see it to understand it.

Once you see some screens you'll get the wonder of it all.

I can't believe those guys are still there, lol. Ah, to be young again.

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

I can tell you that none of us went there to pander. There were some deep discussions, and we even found out how it is not so easy to do the collision detection, but it was all done respectfully. The devs were really open and really appreciated our feed back. When you have devs looking over your shoulder watching you play the game and listening to you, you know these guys take the communities input seriously.

I disagree he seems to be pretty fair on the in take of the game, he talks about the good and bad. I think you read wrong.

I take it you'll be heading back there tomorrow morning first thing........ whether Sony likes it or not.
Now that you've gotten a taste, how are you going to make it through the <STRIKE>short</STRIKE> long month of feb?

Sort of a real bad place to call out PastaPadre, don't you think?

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

Another short cut. I told you you can use UP and the DPad to bring someone up in your bullpen. After you put them in you can push UP and DPad again and instead of clicking on bullpen you'll see your pitchers at the bottom of the window. Just quickly scroll down to the pitcher you want to bring in and hit X, it's done.

You can tell they do just by how many fixes they did to the huge amount of small things in the game this year. The list is about endless. All stuff the community complains about. It's not like they just fix one or two things and release the game, they have a whole CRAP LOAD of things they fixed in the game this year, just about all of which were listed by the community.

Their hard work and care in their game is evident.
