Re: MLB '10: The Show First Look (ESPN)

Why don't you PM them? You think we know? Or do you just want people to jump on the "why" bandwagon?

I do know how difficult it is to incorporate somethings into what they are working with. Russell already explained the long dreds, so if you really want to ask "why" you are asking the wrong people.

Good Idea, maybe I'll do just that! I just hope I don't get a nasty email back!!..lol Why didn't I think of that.

Of course you or anybody else don't know a thing about the game, why would you? I didn't ask you to tell me. You replyed to my comments. I typed what I thought of the ESPN on the new features of the game article, I didn't expect anyone to tell me why things were not in it. You thought wrong.

As for wanting people to jump on a "Why" bandwagon" What makes you say I'm trying to do that?...You assuming that I'm trying to start a negative disscussion here as to why they haven't implemented top features for the past four years?...no my man, I'm not trying to get people to side with me into "Bandwagoning" as to "why" features are not on a game on message boards. You got it all wrong. This was my only question I asked on here and some have replyed that I was insulting/ragging on the Dev. and I did no such thing. No one has to agree with me. That' ok, no need to feel that I need approvals from anyone here.

I'll move along from the disscusion here. Enjoy!

Thanks

peace!

Re: MLB '10: The Show First Look (ESPN)

Real time will wear off in a few weeks. No weather, no new commentators, no new appeal really. Doesn't seem that much has been done. Hoping there is better stuff to come.

Re: MLB '10: The Show First Look (ESPN)

I am sorry, but some of you guys make me laugh. Thanks I need to laugh. If the Show is not for you than move on. All the stuff they added is more than I thought they would do. People that want the stick to be used more, maybe someday, but I hope it is not now. I don't like that stick. I rather have the Show the way it is and let the other baseball game be for the guys that want to used the stick more.

3. Not so fast


Ever since I used to play as the Cardinals in "RBI Baseball," I've been driving my friends crazy with the rate at which I steal bases in video games. My days are numbered now that "MLB 10" is introducing a new way for pitchers to pick off baserunners.



"Last year, it was really confusing to people if you were playing from the pitcher's view on how you were supposed to pick off runners," Cramm says. "To the eye, the buttons were the opposite of how they should have been, because [the] circle was always first base no matter what view you were in. So this year we made a really important change to where pickoffs are now performed using the shift. Hold it down and all the buttons will map according to the view you are in. That avoids a point of concern and confusion that to me was more like a bug last year.



"The next thing we added is the ability to choose different kinds of pickoffs. There are three different pickoff types: casual, where a guy steps off and throws over to the base. You have a quick move and you have a deceptive move. We also have the third-to-first move now, where a right-hander fakes the throw to third then looks back to first. The new button configuration allows us to add all of this. And what's great is these moves only work in the right situations. Like, you can't do a deceptive move if you're a right-hander and there's only a runner on first; those are only for lefties. But if you're a right-hander with runners on first and third, you can do a deceptive, and that's your fake throw to third, throw to first."



As for the button controls: tap for casual, double tap for the quick move, press and hold for deceptive. "For deceptive, the entire situation is going to look like a pitch," Cramm says. "The pitch meter is going to go and everything is going to stay in that camera until you make your move to the base. And the A.I. is going to do this to you, too. So as a base runner, now, you can't just take off on the first move. And this really makes things fun, especially in two-player games, because this adds a new level of cat and mouse as the pitcher tries to change his looks so that the runners aren't just taking off at will."

YES! YES! YES! YES! I was hoping the pickoff moves would be addressed and they have been. YES!

Another small change that will go a long way.

YES!

Re: MLB '10: The Show First Look (ESPN)

But that's not the only visual treat that's been added to the game this year. You'll see things like cloud shadows moving across the field, daylight transitional lighting, dugouts and bullpens populated in real time (not just in cut scenes), and even playoff noisemakers and towels in the crowd. Gamers can expect more animations of fans reaching over the rails, foul balls that will ricochet off both catchers and umpires, working analog and digital clocks inside stadiums and fans from the visiting team populating stadiums, like when the Cubs play in Arizona and the Chicago faithful come out in full force wearing their team colors.

Are you f'n kidding me!? YES!! YES!! YES!!

This is too good to be true. The little things all add up to make a game great and realistic and SCEA is without a doubt, the best at adding in the little things.



YES!

The little things are going to be off the hook this year!

Easy CB, don't have a heart attack and die before the fact sheet comes!

Just kidding, I completely agree. Having a working pickoff move should be amazing. Can't wait to see what else the have to reveal.

**** that, did you read all that other crap after that. Are you kidding real clocks and all that other stuff.

yes I did..but noisemakers and rally towels are something I was just thinking about the other day, and how cool it would be if they were in the game.

As I said, these little things really immerse one into the game.

You have 3 at your disposal. Casual, Quick, and Deceptive all with pros and cons to each.

LOL...yeah really.

I'm sorry, but the pickoff move is something that I was really hoping would be addressed this year. The cat and mouse game of base stealer vs pitcher is something that was lost the past few installments.

Now the only thing I hope is that balks will be part of the new pickoff move feature. For instance, will a deceptive move at times result in a balk? Or maybe a quick move?

I don't mention casual because if a pitcher of mine balks on a casual move, I'll yank him from the game and put him on the first bus out of St.Louis.

On second thought, I'll let him walk his way out of St.Louis.
