He mentions weather effects. I hope this includes rain and snow, that would be great to have.

What no fielding meter? YES, i'm so glad. I actually like to watch the play on the field anyways, not have to look at some dumb meter that clogs up the screen. Then again i'm old school.

I already have a 360 but I am thinking about either trading it or selling for PS3 or just coming up off of another $400 and this game is one of the factors.

A good majority of us purchased a PS3 for this game alone.

I did last year for 08' and never looked back. And I got to enjoy a ton of other stellar PS3 exclusives.

My main purchase was for The Show, and it opened up another world of games. One of the best gaming purchases I have made.

As others mentioned, I hope weather effects like rain are in. The fog sounds yummy. I like how in 09 there was several different weather conditions/cloudiness and it effected lighting etc. Made for different feeling games and variety. The more the merrier.

The cloud shadows sound fantastic as well. Always loved seeing them in RTS games like Command & Conquer, etc.

Fielding should have been priority number one. I hate the script throwing in the game right now. If all we got this year is presentation and weather(lighting). It will be a complete disapointment. How much do we have to complain about fielding for them to fix it??

It was a priority but could not be completed in one development cycle. They are aware it is a pressing issue!

When it comes down to fixing something that does not work (online) or fixing something that works but is not that great (fielding), choices have to be made.

I'm the same way 66. The first thing I do is shut off all the cloggy meters, k-zones, icons, etc.. I just want to see the game

Will the PSP version have any changes similar to the PS3 version

Re: MLB '10: The Show Hands-On Preview (Destructiod)

All i want to see regarding fielding is a few more random errors by both me and cpu fielders, booted and dropped balls is what i mean.

I do too. But they can still make the button presses mean more when throwing a ball over to first. And I REALLY want to see more booted balls and bobbles this year.

Would like to know if the collision detection issues have been addressed. If so, a day one purchase for sure.

As posted earlier.

Last year they said it couldn't really be done with the current gamepay engine without it messing with other things. (If I remember correctly).

My guess is they made the animations better when it comes to collisions. Not exactly adding collision detection but more of avoiding the morphing effect we see with different animations.

Yes that's correct as we have said before collision detection that most want will most likely never in our game. But what we improve on every year is animations and the logic behind the situations so that the fielders react in the correct way and try to avoid the collisions. Now this doesn't work for home plate because that's the point so for those instances in the baseball they will continue to be scripted animations.

Re: Destructiod Preview

Sweet, thanks for posting!

SWEET!

But the million dollar question is:

Will there be rain?

I really hope so man.

Agreed. Way Too many overthrows.
