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

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.

I didn't mean to suggest you were flown out there and treated like a high roller by SCEA. I was just going by what Russell said - that a very limited number of people would be allowed to take video. You said yourself you had to get approval to post the vids on youtube, so I assume there was also some sort of process (or invite) to get you in there with your camcorder and playing with Russ. And I do appreciate everything you did, awesome vids and info.

Seriously... let's say they DON'T fix the camera angle. Um... who cares? We've been playing the game for three years now without it. Now it IS in, and people whine that it's not in properly. All the things that this game and dev team add on a yearly basis that are so superbly done, and THIS is what we're throwing a fit about?

There's something you guys are missing. My feeling regarding home runs in '09 is that it's just anti-climatic. Let's suppose they can find a camera angle this year in Home Run Derby that really makes you stand up and say "YES!!!" when a home run is hit. Correct me if I'm wrong but can't this also be used in the main game as well? A custom cam that comes up when a dinger is hit would really add some pop to the game. Home runs are what it's all about, the greatest moment in baseball so I say spend a little time on this and get it right.

I agree.. Nothing is worse than hitting a HR at Fenway over the Monster and have the camera follow the shadow of the ball and then focus in on the wall. Kind of sucks. I am praying deep fly balls which stay in play, borderline HRs and no doubters will have a camera angle where we can see the flight of the ball

Swaldo,

Understand, but I think what has happened is some guys are posting like this is set in stone and they are disappointed about it, just saying let's wait and see. There's still a ways to go with this thing yet.

Well said. I've been completely on-board in thinking this for 2-3 yrs now, but every year we get the same 3 fielding cams. I'll get off my CAM hopes since its out there now, and its beating a dead horse. This forum shouldn't be all doom and gloom. The game is still fun and great, it could just be that much more for a few of us ball-flight lovers. "Ball-flight lovers" is something I thought I would never type in my life. Yikes.

Nobody is saying they aren't working hard and/or making tweaks. Of course they are. Of course its not a final build. I would LOVE to be wrong in thinking that we won't suddenly get great cameras added. Everything in the game is looking great. Can't wait.

Let's trademark that.

Ha, let's start a Ball Flight Lovers club and get a petition going for better flying balls.

And I hear you Jim, I can't possibly say any more on this. I just want friggin' March to be here already.

I agree with you 100% on having a camera to follow the balls flight and show the detail of where it lands. I remember playing Tommy Lasorda Baseball in the 90"s and loving it when my player would hit a homerun into the parking lot full of cars. We need this in today's game. We should start a thread specifically stating this on the main page so SCEA can take notice. I want to see my homeruns land in Mcovey Cove and the water splash when it lands. Now if that isn't a gratifying hit I don't know what is. Anything that adds excitement to the game is a very good thing.

I live here in Vegas. I had plans to try and attend CES. Then I heard our local news say, "This event is NOT open to the public".....

(Wonders how DMB got in?)

so you felt that homeruns in '09 were anti-climatic and in an effort to fix that problem, you want a special homerun camera to take effect when a homerun is hit?

And watch all the little boats go after the ball? Now that would be amazing!

Just a word of advice. Be VERY careful if you look up that term on the web, and you should probably not do that at work.

The better question is why were you doing that?
