Definitely.
If you decide to use the Polo Grounds as your home stadium....you better have a SPEEDY OF.
Trust me.
In the game with bhurst...I couldn't get to a ball hit over my head with my LF(slightly towards center) ...and what would have normally bounced off the wall(normal OF wall) for a sure double possible triple...instead rolled all the way to the 455 ft mark in LF(not even the longest part of the park!!!!!!!!) for an inside the park homer.
You definitely need to draft/trade/sign to your ballpark strengths.

Yeah, but you got me back with your 296-foot homer to right field. LOL

C'mon Pared, I know that! It was a joke.

But seriously, about that early copy...

No, what I'm saying is it won't play on your system.

Pedroia doesn't wear a hemp necklace. He wears a camo Phiten necklace.

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

bhurst99, I've got a RTTS question. Did you play either of the middle infield positions during community day? Those are the positions I play all the time and last year I really had a hard time getting baserunners out when they were trying to steal 2nd. I don't know if the computer runner was just too fast, or if I was covering too late (even though I always got to the bag fast enough), or if my tag was slow (is this affected by attribute ratings?), or if my catcher just sucked. Have you seen this, is it any better?

I played as a shortstop but didn't have an opportunity to make a tag on a steal. As a shortstop in MLB 09 I don't think I've ever got anyone out on a steal but I've only had that happen maybe a half-dozen times which is too small a sample for me to determine if it was my fault or some fault with an animation. I just assumed it was my fault (I was usually completely surprised by the steal attempt for some reason).

I did pick off a runner as a RTTS pitcher which shocked me. I think Nemesis will have more to say about the new pick offs.

I specifically asked for more stat overlays back at the focus test and they appear to have delivered. I was delighted by how many stat overlays they had.

Sounds great!

Thanks bhurst99

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Will the time of year affect the light during night games?

For instance if i play a night game in april or october, will it be dark/nearly dark to begin with? Likewise in a summer game it might not get dark properly until the 7th or 8th inning.

It didn't change last year so i just wondered if it might have been tweaked for 2010?

It sure did change last year.

In April it got dark by the 2nd inning, and as it got later, 3rd, 4th and so on. Playoff time it started in the dark.

It wasn't your fault, not usually. There are times when you don't get there and the catcher waits to make the throw (or doesn't throw at all), but the game places you automatically in a poor position to make the tag. I think because of this the game doesn't see you as tagging the stealer. There were plenty of times when I was there in time, the throw beats the runner and he's out by a couple feet and the game calls him safe.

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Sorry if this has been asked and answered.

Have the variable ump strike zone AI been tuned at all? I may be in the minority, but I hated how with "variable" strike zones the same umps strike zone would change pitch-to-pitch or even batter-to-batter. It became a labor intensive process to try to know that in the 1st inning of a day game the low stike would be call with Doc behind the plate, but in a night game that pitch is a ball. (obviously I'm exagerating there, but you get the idea.)

Thanks in advance for the reply.

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

this question may have been asked and answered already and if so I apologize, but did anyone see any in game injuries while playing?

Yes, a couple of hamstring injuries as I recall.

I don't believe so.
