Did any of the CD guys remember what it looks like when your bring a relief pitcher in? Does it still just show him walking up the mound? Would love to know if the reliver's custom entry songstill plays while throwing warm p pitches...but I guess that may be saved for the Sounds of the Show blog.

Yes. The same.

Does the offset camera still look the same as it did in 09, or has it been tweaked any?

Stop, stop it now Knight. I can't take any more talking about the Polo Grounds! (No, really, please go on!)

Knight, this has me waxing nostalgic now. You still got a link to your Dodgers vid you did a couple years ago? I did a search and couldn't find it.

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!)

I know its not in, but was wondering...

Is it possible to put "progressive" injuries into the game? And if so, is it something thats on radar?

By progressive injuries, I mean injuries that plague a player's career and progressively could get worse with age. Also, these injuries would more than likely re-occur. These injuries could be, but no limited to...elbow/shoulder/arm injuries to pitchers, knee injuries to players, ankle injuries...etc..

These injuries would cause a player's attributes to drop as well as his injury rating. Maybe there could be a place on the player's card that alerts the user to an injury that a player had that a particular player has sustained one of these types of injuries.

I don't know if one of the CD guys may have brought this idea up with the dev team or if someone on the dev team could answer.

Thanks.

I don't know if this is possible without it having too much effect on players (although if anyone could do it right it would be SCEA), but what a great addition this would be.

Would throw in more strategy to trades and FA signings with some great risk/reward attributes. Make a push for the playoffs by adding a great hitting/pitching veteran who is prone to injuries. Maybe you trade one of those injury prone players away only to see them stay healthy and help win a pennant. Or you take a chance on a young star in the making who has had a couple of unfortunate injuries. Maybe that guy goes on to be a HofF'er or never gets his studness back.

Great idea Countryboy, not sure if it is possible, but would like to see it.

Would also like to see something like Tommy John surgery keep a pitcher out for 12-18 months. So if it happens in September, there is a great chance you won't be able to play that guy until the season after the next. Again, would add some great strategies there.

yeah I'm not sure if its possible either, but thought I'd ask.

And I agree with the Tommy John Surgery or any injury that is long term. Say a player suffers an injury in the post-season(October) and its a 6 month injury, then he wouldn't return until April of next year. I love this idea Phantom and think it may be more feasible than what I'm looking for. Have injuries carry over from calendar year to calendar year in the game.

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

I'm a little confused on the classic stadiums. If you pre-order it, will they already be on the game, or will you still have to get online and download them? I'm not online, that's why I ask. Thanks.

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

CD guys...without going into details (unless you can of course), were there any conversations on how to make the off season more interactive in future games? Maybe having a simmed fall league (would love to play them but simming or a gamecast feature would be better than nothing). Or anything to spice up the off season? Not necessarily for just the fall league, that was just the first thing that came to mind.

Also I realize that the "majority" of people don't get through one season let alone multiple ones, so this is probably way down on the list of things to do. I was just wondering if any of you had any conversations about it.

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Now that the relief pitcher gets 8 warm up pitches if you chose to go that route. I wish they would have incorporated the pitching knockout feature for hitting your spots as part of the interface.

If you pre-order the game and get the voucher...there is a code on the voucher that you must input online via the PS3. There is a spot on the PS Store where you can redeem codes and thats where you would input your code off the voucher. If you do not have online connectivity, you will not be able to use the code to unlock the classic stadiums.

What a GREAT idea. Then maybe it could boost your confidence, pitch, etc. Or maybe even hurt you a little. Nice risk/reward.

I remember one of the CD guys or maybe Russell talking about the warm up pitches and said something like the pitches you throw need to be timed well and in the strike zone and you get a slight boost in confidence for that pitch, and vise versa you get a slight decrease in confidence if you miss your spot. So basically you will get what you are talking about just without the colored boxes in the zone (which I wouldnt want during a game anyway)

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

even have it for starting pitchers in the bullpen before the game warming up. Some days your ace may not "be on" for the start of the game. Kinda like a mini game warming up for 40 pitches.
This was mentioned in the wish list last year..hopefully some day.
