Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Still haven't heard much from the CD guys about the online game fixes and what we should expect. Im dying to know how they went about addressing the terrible lag and traffic delay issues. Also, it seems that everyone is avoing the questions in regards to the online mic issues. Will the on/off toggle be removed from the left stick R3 button? Its just too sensitive to inadvertently click, then not knowing if the mic is actually on or off is annoying.

Most bluetooth and USB headsets have mute buttons/swithches built in. There really is no need to have one mapped to a button on the game itself. Another way to hep the situation would be to at least have an on screen indicator letting us know if the mic is on or off.

Any and all online play info would be greatly appreciated!

If someone still wondering why this game is the best sport game made ever, just look how far in little details we're going now !!

Concerning RTTS : i found it a bit annoying sometimes when I was missing Goals like Fielding for a Pitcher. I can understand for Stamina, pitch control etc but bunting or fielding is not a high priority enough to be benched if missing goal.

So my question is : how is it now ?

I have something written up that I will post tonight. It is light in content but there will be a developer blog on the subject.

Portions of online were still being worked on when we were at CD and there was no solid answer with regards to the mic situation. They were looking into different map scenarios for the mic as well as an on screen icon. Nothing confirmed as of yet.

I have so many RTTS questions its not even funny. Little things like fouling off a Hit & Run, why should i get penailzed? But if i swing and miss and the runner is safe, they give u positive points! Thats just one of many RTTS questions......

From what the CD have said in their posts thus far, the RttS got a great deal of work. I too agree with your concerns there. Last year, and in 2008, it seemed as if it was far too easy to lose training points than it was to earn them. So even if you did a couple of things right, they would throw so many chances for you to earn negatives that you'd lose any positive momentum you had just gained. I am hoping, in a month's time when the game comes out, to see that instead of calling it a "negative" if something isn't done, that they just say "neutral" and you don't get points and you don't lose points. On a hit and run, if you lay off the pitch then you should get negative points. If you swing and miss, neutral, if you hit the ball and advance the runner, positive. Something like that where you get negative points for disobeying the manager/coach's wishes, but positive for obeying.

Exactly! And also, I always wondered why everybody starts off with the same talent level. They should have at least a handful of different type of players to start off as. Speedster, HR power guy, flame thrower.....not everybody gets drafted as an average baseball player.

For example, if you pick a "speed" type player to start off with, you would be brought up through your organziation as a "leadoff" hitter. You would have like 90 speed and something like 30 contact and 10 power. It would have things to work on such as BR ability, contact, fielding, etc.....It just feels like every RTTS player I create ends up being a 3 -5 hitter with decent power and average speed. Unless I stop achieving goals and pour all my points into one attribute to build it up.

Also, I'd like to make the majors and stay there at a young age. Even starting off at 18, you barely stay in the majors all year as a 22 year old. Even at that point you are fighting for your spot. I want to be protected by my organization as if I am the next superstar if I keep putting up great numbers.

I have so much more! Don't get me started with wishing they added a Top 100 prospect list. That would really make RTTS interesting. Hopefully the Futures Game is a start.

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

random question I havent seen asked yet...do you guys know if when you give a player sunglasses if they actually wear them while batting this year? in 09 only the guys whom SCEA edited to where them actually did.

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

I have been in awe of all the new and improved features (30 team franchise) this year that have sealed the deal for my $60.
My only question was if any of the community day members knew if we can have two users on the same team like all star baseball used to have?
If not you think it would be something good to throw in the wishlist for next year?

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Can my Dad and I both be the Braves when we play each other? In 09, it never let us both be the same team.

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

No, it skips over the duplicate team.

And easy on the tone to Nem. What you wrote can be taken the wrong way.

Whoops sorry, that was not my intention! I will fix it.
