Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Actually...
It was the ALE and ALC both during the first season.
It remained that but changed teams for season 2.
That's where I missed it...thinking it was one...one year and then the different the next.
BOTH were actually in both years.
Sorry.

When I looked at it under the Yankees it rotated... although I only looked for 2 years.

That might be where it stops... sorry, CB.

This is a long thread so sorry of this has been asked, but on balls in to the gap do the 2B and SS still both act as cutoff men while the 1B covers second?

"To further the cat and mouse game with the batter and pitcher, I noticed the batter actually raises his hand and signals time when the pitcher does this step off. This led to a newly implemented feature where the CPU batter will actually step out and ask the umpire for time if you take too long to throw a pitch. To go even further with the idea, it's going to be controllable when YOU are up at bat. If the pitcher is taking too long, the batter can step out and reset. If you're a fan of the little things in baseball, then I know you're as excited about this inclusion as I am. I did not see this implemented and I still think they will get it in this year.... so keep your fingers crossed!"

Did this actually make it in? To me this is an extremely cool addition to be able to control your at bat and your pitching pace...this is hugh..seriously..WOW!!

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

quick follow up...in your guys' opinion(since you've seen the hands on development) do you think this is something, if indeed it doesn't rotate, that could be fixed prior to the game being finalized?

I couldn't see it being done via patch, at least without having to restart your franchise for it to work, so I'm just curious if you guys think, or would know, if it could be fixed prior to "going gold".

Again, thanks for the information, its greatly appreciated.

It made it in for the CPU apparently... but I did not see it first hand. Had to leave.

Did anyone notice any scouting differences in franchise mode? in 09 you didn't have a clue what was going on.

i have a pretty specific question about citizens bank park, do they have the flower bed right above the left field wall? I think it was left bare in '09

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Trying to make sure I understand this correctly..

So basically these three options increase, maintain or decrease the time it takes the ball to get from the release point to the plate?.. Reaction time if you want to call it that for the batter..

Correct!

I played my RTTS with Philly and that part was bare. I didn't know this was there IRL, looks nice though. It'd be cool to see it in 10.

Yes they do, more faint look to them because of the day light. It looks proper.

Great!

This is what I was hoping for!

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

So the original cut scenes remain on while RTP is selected?

If so that is great!

I thought it was one or the other.

Ya it sounds like we get a little of both when using RTP because they couldn't get every situation to run in real time

Nemesis said it's more then 50% RTP so I'm happy

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

I was just looking at the pics of the classic stadiums, and wondered can I use these with my minor league teams in franchise?? (I know i can with the big club.) Also any word on old time helmets and such? thanks for all the great info, its been a treat to read...

I am stoked, I didn't want to lose the cut scenes 100% cause some are fantastic. Especially the walk-offs, beach balls, fans out on the field, etc. And the funny ones like the grenades, etc.
