I know Russell has stated that the new sig-animations are not in this build that we are seeing in the recent videos, but will pitching deliveries be included with the sig-animations? Chris Carpenter definitely needs to be fixed. Nobody throws like that in MLB. He is one of the best pitchers in the game and his delivery should be more accurate.

Was I the only one that thought the HR Derby mode looked really dull ?

It just seemed really lackluster IMO especially the camera view on HR's and the fact that there's no commentary to go along with the action

Oh well

I'm a season and exhibition guy anyways and I know those games will be awesome to play with all the new features and improvements this year

I agree! The no-commentary made it seem blah, like batting practice instead of an actually homerun derby. I also think that it would have been great if they would have put kids out in the outfield trying to catch the fly balls.

I did like the fact that not every pitch was right down the middle. Like the one that hit Howard in the foot, nice!!

As for the transitional lighting vids, I was also hoping that they would put some balls in play. You couldn't tell much from the player in the box, but maybe you would have seen some structures of the stadium creeping across.

Great vids though, you lucky *******!! Wondering if you were allowed to wondering around a franchise at all?

Was that the only camera view available in HR Derby? The camera view was along the ground? Strange

Thanks for all the vid post!

HR Derby: I wish the camera would show more than just the 'shadow' of the ball on the field. It's funny to watch a shadow of a ball, not knowing wehtere it will go out, and then see the HR went 442 feet! I think in MLB 06, (ps2) they had a varied/dynamic camera in the HR derby that would sow off the majesty of HRs.

Is the Broadcast Camera availble in HR Derby? Cheers! and thanks again!

game is looking good, hopefully correct schedules make it into this years version and we will not have to wait for a patch

Did anyone else catch Russell talking about how they retooled the hitting for the HOF and Legend difficulties? I'm pretty sure I heard him say that you would have to use the left stick to hit in those modes. I'm sure that won't be heavily debated here...lol.

I did not catch that, but that will be very interesting. You are supposed to use it from All-Star on up, but I usually do not 75% of the time, and receive very realistic hitting results.

I really wish they would at least mix in a "no doubter" every few HR's....that would add alot especially for the view point.

**JerseySuave4** · 01-11-2010, 10:53 AM

my only gripe with the Home Run Derby is that the camera doesnt change to actually show you the ball in the air and where its going. Instead you just see the shadow moving on the ground. They need to either switch the camera once it goes into the air or zoom the camera up and out so you can see where it lands.

When the user goes to switch camera types, we can see that there's a "Home Run Celebration Camera" option that is disabled. Hopefully that means there's still a chance to view that majesty. I also hope there's an option to use the broadcast cam, since I noticed that he never switched to that option.

and let's pray that we can put in custom soundtracks in the background (like over the stadium PA with reverb) like batting practice mode last year.

Speaking of PA, I was never a fan of the PA announcer in this game. It sounds quite nothing like one with a personality that you hear in regular stadiums, nor does it really sound like it's coming over the PA in the same way. I always secretly wish they changed him out. I remember that MVP Baseball 2005 had a pretty good, riveting PA guy.

Was concerned about the fielding throwing meter from the earlier posts. Thank god it was a misunderstanding. I went from a high to a low back to a high lol

Re: MLB '10: The Show Hands-On Impressions @ CES w/ Russell_SCEA *Day 2*

It appears that in exhibiton mode we aren't able to set the time of the game again this year.... Options are day and night. I wonder how this will work in Franchise mode?

Re: MLB '10: The Show Hands-On Impressions @ CES w/ Russell_SCEA *Day 2*

First off thanks to DMB for posting all the vids over the last 2 days and posting your impressions!! Very well done and greatly appreciated.

GIMME: your not alone with the purchasing a PS3 for one game. I jumped on board during the 08 version. Was a great investment in my eyes. (not so much in my wife's eyes

)

This years version seems to be once again to be a great version.

DMB: In your time with the game, does the hitting feel the same as last year? I thought last years version if hitting was perfect.
