MLB '10: The Show Hands-On Impressions @ CES w/ Russell_SCEA

Re: MLB '10: The Show Hands-On Impressions @ CES w/ Russell_SCEA

Just from some of the vids I can honestly say that this game looks more realistic then last year. 09 was definitely a beautiful game, but this year's.... Blows my socks off. I think it's the lighting or maybe the stadium upgrades, but everything seems different to me. I've never really been this excited for a game. Something about the player models looks improved too

Sometimes camcorders, though lower quality, boast a super-white look that is always appealing to watch on playback. I'm not saying that the graphics don't really look this good, I'm just saying that this will come out looking more like '09 in general, but with much improved lighting. It was almost a hassle playing those 4:00 shadow games all nine innings, but now we don't have to worry about that anymore. That overhead sun just looks sexy. Too cool!

Man, after reading this March feels even FARTHER away. If only I could hibernate and wake up on release day so time would go by quickly.

I am so glad that Heavy Rain drops next month. That will keep me entertained until the Show comes out.

Good call, that looks like a very intriguing, albeit depressing game.

LOL. Yeah, we expect more from someone representing OS. No excuse will save you, either.

ANYTIME a ball wasn't being tracked down was done on purpose. Period.

Maybe your right, but I really see something different and better. When Granderson was batting, I really thought it was him. It just jumped out to me, and this video wasn't really low quality. I think it's the lighting. And Blzer don't worry about being a perfectionist, I analyze every visual in the game, That's because we are baseball fans, we notice all the little things, baseball has so many details, and it's only normal we want it all in. I used to be real bad with this. If I noticed a low res texture or something as minor as a sign, it would bug me. Now I have just learned to appreciate this awesome game.

We are extremely blessed to have a team like SCEA and a baseball game that wow's us every year. So instead of sitting back and pointing out all the ugly things I just sit back and enjoy the hell out of this GAME, Because that's all it is, one helluva game I must add We all want to strive for this perfect game, but let's just be patient and watch everything play out. But I feel ya completely, nothing wrong with analyzing just don't over analyze like McCarver

Re: MLB '10: The Show Hands-On Impressions @ CES w/ Russell_SCEA

i understand the fears/complaints about the ground rule double. but there is one key factor people are missing: balls hit that high in the air are almost always caught. the guy controlling the outfield team apparently has two left hands, thus the towering fly drops in, and bounces over.

even so, did the bounce look a little too springy?? sure. but nothing to freak out over. it's a very, very small sample size.

Exactly.. The ball was VERY high in the air when it bounced. The user that was controlling the team purposely misplayed the ball. Chris doesn't have 2 left hands!

It just becomes a bigger issue overall. This was one of the primary reasons for people attributing the "rocket arms" nickname to 2K baseball games, along with no real air friction and a rather quick initial velocity to start with. I'm just saying that this affects more than just high fly balls hit near the warning track, like that shot hit past the right fielder to the wall (for only a single).

I assume sliders can patch most of these things anyway, as it seemed to last year.

I assume it not being anywhere near final code would patch most of those things away too.

Re: @ CES w/ Russell. Hands ON Impressions.

what video had a shot to the right field wall for a single? I don't recall that. s

UPDATE:

I am going to take a break for a while and work on a write-up of today's game with Chris and some new video along with a few other details that stand out. Yesterday my videos were not very clear with the zoom. Today I don't use zoom and had bad contrast issues with the video camera. I need to pony up and get a real good one. Maybe next year. I will have video of HR Derby mode and also a mode called 'Knockout' mode and 'Pitching Training' mode.

I wasn't able to get any of the questions answered that some of you pm'ed me on. When I post my write-up it will be on the first page. It will be a few hours...

I'm with you on that one.
