Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Actually, just for clarification the pitch speed slider only changes how fast the pitch visually comes at the batter. So a 95mph fastball is still a 95mph fastball in the game but adjusting the slider up or down will just give you the effect the pitch is quicker or slower.

To me it seemed like the pitch delay option gave the slider a two tier effect. Allowing you to fine tune speed in a slower or faster setting within the pitch delay option of choice.

Thanks for the explanation, however i'm still a little confused. I'm sure it will be a little more clear when it is released. Thanks again

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

In regards to fielding, once the play is complete, does the screen just cut off in the middle of the throw? So say the guy rounding 3rd scores but the relay is late, in 09 the screen would go straight to a cut-scene in the middle of the ball in flight. Does RTP have an effect on this?

Hmmm, actually I did not think there was an over abundance of throws to second. First base was a different story but the slider fixed that problem.

Well...I probably over-exaggerated it a bit, but even with sliders adjusted (I used someone's last year, can't remember who), I still saw more than I'd like.

But that's ok...just checking.

Ahh yes.. the change was in regards to stealing.

There is a change to compensate the slower/faster speed.

Either way, the game allows you to make it easier/harder but will compensate accordingly to maintain balance.

does anyone know if outfielders will make errors this year other than bad throws?

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

I have question regarding base stealing. In MLB 09, I found it really difficult to steal bases even with some of the faster players in the league because in previous versions, if you pre-loaded steal second, the player would sometimes get good jumps on his own, but in 09, they changed it so that they would move as soon as the pitcher released the pitch, meaning the only means of a successful through would only come at the expense of a horrible throw. I know there was manual basestealing, but it was incredibly difficult for me to execute at times because the baserunner wouldn't respond at the time I wanted him to go (not to mention the show bunt it does for the batter).

Was anyone in the CD able to see if there been any changes on basestealing, whether auto or manual? Such as jumps on pre-loaded steals, or how responsive manual basestealing was? Thanks.

I remember reading a "yes" to this one somewhere...

Something to try that worked good for me was to switch to manual stealing, preload the steal sign on a count that you felt like you had a good percentage of getting an offspeed pitch, and to hit the leadoff button just as soon as you thought the pitcher would break the set and come home.

You baserunner would take that one extra step, and if you timed it right, as he went to take that step, the pitcher would start to come home with the ball, and the animation for the steal would start during the extra leadoff. You end up with a seamless transition of being one more step closer to second, and the runner already moving towards second with his momentum going that way.

This might help you with 09' in the last few weeks you might ever play it again...

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Haha...
Unfortunately it's the same options as last year.
I did ask for the 'fro(I went right to the artist who does the faces to ask)...but no luck.
I'll keep asking...more hair options...more facial hair options....glasses.....cut sleeves.
I'll get them to eventually get it in.

Nem.....
Answering more of the communities questions won't help.
The award has been locked up already.:wink:

Lol thanks Nem and Knight, hopefully we can customize hair in the future, Kind of strange they don't have the option, they have so many facial characteristic options in there. However, not many guys sport the fro anymore, so that could be it. Oh well at least it's been mentioned by Knight.

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Oh...Knight saw it....I just don't consider it a "major" problem.
Plus....I always increase the catchers block rating so I did see less than others.

If you liked MoM in '09...you'll like it in '10. If not.......
It's much the same.
In the case of the countdown....it's the design...that's what they want. It's not a case of not getting something in or out.
...and I haven't fired up HH in a while...but I'm pretty sure you had to hit the pitch button in HH also.

I don't remember having to press anything in High Heat when in mom mode and one pitch mode.
