HuH? SCEA did not invite me nor rman. There were over 100,000 people who attended CES this year. I just happened to be an OS user . I went and did what I did because I love the game and wanted to see it first hand and then I shared with everyone here.

What we thought you got the Golden Ticket and therefore got to go see the Homerun Derby Camera. Wasn't that the whole purpose for CES? I am just giving you a bad time Salwdo.

I would hope so but why get mad about the complaining of said stances? That is one of the points of getting a baseball game. To have correct stances and motions. Otherwise they would give everyone Generic 1 and the name Joe/Bob Young/Smith

I am not mad, I find it funny. I guess I am just used to the old baseball games stances. God forbid if you guys had to play Atari 2600 baseball. I can see it now. Hey they Stick figure his stances is not right.

Of course this is all in good fun. People tend to forget we can have some of that around here.

Blzr. Are you talking about the mode where there is targets all over the field and over the wall where you tried to hit the ball to? I absolutely loved that mode and miss that the most from MVP '05.

Oh haha you mean Triple Play 2001's Big League Challenge Extreme mode? Yeah, that was pretty funny. There was one when you were miniature-sized in a living room. "Oooh, he hit the keys!"

But no, I'm referring to All Star Baseball's Home Run Derby mode. ASB is the game with Thom Brennaman as the PBP announcer, and he has quite a few lines in HRD including the distance the ball traveled (kind of cooler that way instead of in text form). The way the camera really stayed and focused on where the ball landed, and the massive feel of the stadiums, made me play countless hours of Home Run Derby in that game. And I mean I would continually play in a stadium for hours on its own until I hit a destination target, then I would move onto the next stadium for another target. Do you know how many stadiums were in that game besides the 30 MLB stadiums? It was too fun. In fact, the only reason I don't pop it in anymore is because I don't have a system to play it on since my PS3 isn't backwards compatible.

Maybe if we turn the HR Celebration Camera on in this game, we may get some cool camera angles. Hopefully they just passed by the Broadcast camera option when sorting through the different types, because I'd love to see what that looks like.

No.. It was MVP mini-game I'm referring to.

Unless it is me getting teased then it is just plain **** up and not funny at all!

Any way I think the pitching animation looks good in this game, but I guess I am a minority.

I'll need to look into what you're referring to. I know there was the split-screen Home Run Derby game (forget what it was called), but I don't recall anything with targets.

You should really look into Triple Play, though. I need to see if I still own those PSX games or if they are in the PSN store, they were really fun to play.

For some reason I thought that was in the NCAA game, no? It was pretty fun trying to hit the moving cart though!

Okay...that's two.

But I feel your pain.
I'm a manage only mode guy.
I gotta hope every year they keep it in the game.(thank God for Kolbe's dad liking manage only mode )

Make it 3!!! I have been clamoring for a Home Run Derby in this game since it came out on the ps3. With 2 kids and one on the way, I don't always get enough time to play so HRD is a nice, quick fix for me.

With that said, I have zero worries about the camera angle right now. If the only camera angle ends up being the one where you only follow the shadow of the ball, then I probably won't play it much but I have lived just fine without it for the past 3 years. If they have a better angle then all is good. One thing you can bank on though is that every year this game will get better and better and most likely HRD will be improved upon. If I have to wait one more year to fully enjoy it, so be it.

Either way, I had decided to skip baseball this year because of my lack of time to fully play it. But there are too many good things going on and I just won't be able to not get it.

I don't get why everyone uses lack of time as a reason for liking HR derby, we can save any franchise game at any point now! I think being able to save whenever is my favorite feature that has been added to this game (08 I think?). If I only have 20-30 minutes, can play a few innings save it and come back later that night; no biggie.

While I am glad that HR derby has been added, I highly doubt that I will play it any time that isn't All-Star break in my franchise.

Well, it depends on how well implemented it is. Like I just posted about playable minor leagues in 2K10, the developers may see it as they will limit the resources spent on expanding the feature because people won't play it that much, but I see it as I would play it more if they spent more resources on expanding the feature. Kind of a two-way street.

So if it's as is, I will still check it out because the high cam still allows for us to see some shots, but if there are included random angles or the broadcast camera, I will give it much more playing time.

As for the in-game save thing, when I load it back up I'm a lot less focused than I was when I started the game. It's like playing back-to-back games in your franchise, then taking a week off and going back into it. You'll forget who was hot, who was fatigued, who you haven't played recently, etc. Because of that, I only do game saves as a last resort.

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

Hey dmb - did the players walk in and out of the dugouts? I know I was wondering myself as well as a few others who have asked in a few other threads.

Thank you for all the information!

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

is there anyway we can get a option to turn off the player indicator under the players?....just for aesthetic reasons.

That would be cool. I remember ESPN MLB 2K5 had that option and I used it. I would turn it off, if implemented.
