Does franchise give u the "no DH" option in the AL? In 09 they had it for season mode...i am addicted to double-switches and would love to use an AL team this year.

It will differ from person to person. There some at the CD that couldn't get used to it at all. That's what auto-fielding is for.

I hope they NEVER take out auto-fielding...especially when your poundin' down about 16

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

but how much more difficult is fielding with the broadcast camera? Will it take a lot of getting used to...or is it something that will be pretty easy to pick up?

There will be some knee jerk reactions to this. Remember BROADCAST is just another fielding view. There is LOW, MEDIUM, BROADCAST, HIGH, so you have options. The balls against the wall may initially give you some problems, but I would tell you to go through your spring training, stick with it, as this view is flat out awesome. There will be those who have no problems with it, some who do, but again it's new, so like anything new, stick with it.

For me the visual reward is worth it.

lol How are you still conscious at that point? Bet you're not playing on Hall of Fame or Legend.

Thanks to you and Pared for the answers!

I definitely plan on using it...hopefully I'll catch on quickly so I'm not tempted to use one of the other angles...because this one sounds great.

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Catcher logic has been totally reworked! So don't panic.

Great!

Thanks nemesis04

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Not sure if this was answered yet but are there new Flags in all the ball parks this year?

What I mean is new Flags other then USA Flags?

You'll absolutely love it... until you're trying to play a ball off the wall at Citi.

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Did they add OBP?

I'm not sure knich....I think you mean on the player card...right?...If so, I don't think so.

Question for Knight...

Have they added anything this year to assist in your roster creation efforts?

Every year your rosters, especially the classics, are a huge part of my enjoyment of this game.

Thanks.
No.
I don't want them to make it easy.....heck...it's only 300+ hours of my life...it's not like it's hard

In franchise..?...I don't think so.

Bostonsports;
About the clocks...I'm pretty sure that.....they work in real time...sort of. Real game time...so they must have given a couple of set amounts for innings and have the clock advance accordingly. It moves "real time" but at the accelerated pace.
So a 9 inning game will be say 3 hours.....and the clock will advance so....but in the time you play. Make sense?

mike;
Are the flags your new OCD obsession?
I don't think we noticed.....(that's probably why we didn't answer the first 5 times you asked!)

Sorry for asking about the flags so much lol But this thread is getting so big and its kind of hard to keep up

Also can you use RTP with LOW, MEDIUM, BROADCAST, HIGH Cameras? Or just the new BROADCAST Camera?

Knight and I played a game at the Polo Grounds and it was pretty cool to see the old style clock with hands move during the game. I agree with Knight that it appeared to move at an accelerated pace. But it was kind of hard to tell because we played the game in a room with no working clock and no outside windows and we lost all concept of real time (or at least I did).

Haha...yeah...I guess....

I'm almost positive that Real Time(with or without replay) and the cameras are independent from each other....so you can choose RTP with any camera mode.
(I'm pretty sure it's available for dugout, press box and CF also)

Maybe for MLB 11 The Show Sony can add an option and make the clocks in the ball parks based on the time on your PS3 system.

So for example if I play an exhibition game I could pick real time clock. And if I play a game at 5AM in real life the sky would look like a 5am sky with the Sun coming up.

How cool would that be????

Yes.
That was a good game(for you. )..
I started off like gang busters...hitting a homerun that I tucked over the short RF wall....and I thought I'd finally beat someone at a game.
Then bhurst started to play to the strengths of the Polo Grounds....hitting triples and even an inside the park homerun by using the gaps and that TREMENDOUS CF.
What a place to play in.
I can't wait!!!
(I think there was even commentary about Bobby Thompson's famous homerun in 1951! when bhurst hit one to LF AWESOME!)
