1) If we use auto-baserunning can we tell a baserunner to attempt a steal? In 09 sometimes we could, sometimes we couldn't. I like to have auto-baserunning but still have some control over steals.

2) Is there a team stat for double plays made this year? In the past we could always see how many DPs our team hit into, but not how many DPs we made.

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

1. Can we add more walk-up songs this year? (Don't remember what the limit was in 09, but I remember how people had to work around the limit by putting 3 walk-up songs on one file, which was kind of annoying to set the exact times instead of just picking a song)

2. Does the DL work properly this year?

3. What kind of changes have been made to franchise mode? (for example, did they get rid of transportation since no MLB team takes the bus, etc)

4. Can pitchers win the MVP? (rare in MLB, but my RTTS pitcher went 32-1 while leading the league in ERA and Ks and wasn't even nominated)

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

can you see if you can execute a 3-6-3 double play?
if you can choose the Brewers blue alternate at home?
if there is any new equipment (necklaces and what not) and if you can change the colors?
and if there are still hidden stances/deliveries?

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

This one is harder to quantify, but my main gripe if that you just flat don't walk anyone you don't want to. I am hoping you have trouble throwing strikes with some players and can't find the zone. I don't want to have to tweak sliders to make this happen.

Has the time on the transfer on the ball at 2nd on double plays slowed a little when someone is on the defender. I think I heard more animations added and hopefully this will be addressed by that.

Situational bullpen ai. I think you know what I mean.

Situational outfield defense. This one is hard as well. I use auto-fielding (I can't stand to butcher my pitchers ERA etc) and I hate when my outfielder will dive for a ball and turn a single into a triple when we are up by a run late etc.

Thanks, can't wait for more info.

* During Franchise, does slotting a low-energy player at DH for one game replenish his energy, the same as if you benched him?

* Another Franchise question -- do catchers drain energy faster than other positions, so over the course of a season, you'd rarely see a catcher with more than 500-some ABs, his backup getting ~200 ABs.

* Are the changes to pickoff moves more trouble than its worth (too much micromanagement)?

* Do the new throwing angles make fielding feel a lot better, or no difference?

See if we can upload music for when the neon tomahawk sign at Turner Field does its "chopping" motion like in real life below...

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Can you see if Wrigley received the fixes from the stadium feedback thread?

How are the little cut scenes affected by Real Time Presentation (ala silent treatment in the dugout, pitcher throwing his glove into the dugout, etc.)

Are double plays actually broken up? Will the ss or 2b drop the ball, have a bad throw? etc.

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

I would like to see a write up on the new throwing meter, and either see or read the difference between: a player with a strong arm vs. a player with a weak one, and a good fielder vs. a weaker fielder.

And also is Hanley Ramirezs head fixed, in 09 his hat and batting helmet was high off his head because of his hair, is it lower this year (minor thing that bugged me a little last year). Much appreciated!

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Thanks for doing it again this year Knight.

-Can you check to see if some of the hidden stances from last year are now unlocked? Like Longoria and Braun?
-In franchise mode, did they fix the stamina issue where some players will replicate their real life counterpart and play almost the entire 162 games? Like Ryan Howard played 161 games last season so he shouldnt tire out as fast as say someone like Raul Ibanez.

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Is there a playoff mode where you can set up a tournament, or still only the rivalry mode in the game?

Has the day-night transition improved at all or is it same? How is the daytime transition? Are 5pm starts in the game (sunday night baseball) and if yes, how do they look?

How is the change to the grass friction?

Changes in fielding and throwing?

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

What are the new player editing options?

How does the new broadcast cam effect HRs (if at all) and how the ball is followed/tracked?

Fenway Park-Does it have a manual scoreboard yet? For that matter, any significant ballpark changes that stand out to you guys it would be great to know about those.


Thanks!

Can you notice more stat overlays while playing.


Is the the new catcher control available in franchise.

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

First, Thanks to you Knight and to the other members who are doing recon for the game. Having said this and it may seem to be a small thing to some. But see if they have raised the intensity and level of crowd noise in the stadiums. Especially during the play-offs. I just think a little thing like this would do plenty to enhance the already great experience to this game. Thanks again.

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

1) Are there more MLB records? 09 only had like 3 seasonal records for hitting and pitching.

2) Does RTTS always start off with the worst attributes? It would be nice to come into the league with good power and good speed.
