Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

I have a question regarding rosters. Let's say for example, the Cardinals sign Jim Edmonds at this very moment to a one-year deal. Since he didn't play last year, would SCEA be forced to not include him until he actually plays in a 2010 major league game?

No...he could be right in.
It's at least 1 MLB game...not year specific.

I don't know if its been mentioned in this thread yet, so sorry if I'm beating a dead horse, but is the stat tracking improved this year in franchise and RTTS modes? Last year it seemed kind of lacking. I would love to see something more like High Heat baseball's stat tracking. It was very in depth.

yeah, he may not have a portrait, but he will be in the game + real stats and likeness.

Re: Post thoughts here for Community Day Hands-on Impressions

Just had a thought about franchise/season scheduling pop into my head.

1) Please refresh my memory here. How did MLB 09 handle the generation of schedules for seasons after the first? I seem to remember there being issues with the schedule not being realistic. By that I mean having too few matchups against teams in your division and having too many matchups against teams in your league that are outside your division. (Or maybe that's MVP 2004 I'm thinking of; I played that game over the past year as well and might be mixing the two in my head)

2) How has the scheduling of seasons beyond the first season changed, if at all?

Anyone use auto baserunning and notice if you still had the ability to tell a runner to steal? In 09 sometimes you could, sometimes you couldn't.

Also, I haven't seen much written about the changes to the pitching meter. How does pitching feel this year compared with 09?

Will the schedule for spring training randomize ever year?

Last year it was the same schedule after 2009 and beyond.

Re: Post thoughts here for Community Day Hands-on Impressions

In MLB 10, is the attendance relative to the team in real life? In 09 in my franchise, I won a lot and I sold out a lotta games with the Braves. However, the Braves hardly sale out in real life. In the 09 game if you have a bad team the crowds get smaller and smaller...but like I said even when the Braves are doing good still nobody comes. On the flip side of that, even when the Cubs do bad fans always to their games in real life. I'm torn I kinda like how it is in the 09 game, but maybe the crowds could be scaled down some for certain teams?

About walkoffs:

No, they are not. I had a walkoff when Orioles beat me in 11 (as the Red Sox).

Note: They did attempt a squeeze which went foul (1 out), so they still show some great signs of intelligence this year.

I am confused, what is this in regards to?

I think he was replying to the guy that posted his question in a separate thread that Pared locked

The guy asked if walk-offs will be in real time ??

To which Pared replied....... "no they are not"

Bummer.........

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Thanks Knight for all the Franchise Mode information in the other thread and the ongoing tidbits in here

Very much appreciated as that is the mode that sucks away my life and ends up with the misses throwing my pillow and blanket downstairs as im in the doghouse!

Sounds like alot more detail to get stuck into, especially in a pre 'Knights Rosters' franchise test.

Thanks to all the other guys information too, cannot believe how excited a 30 year old man can get over this game. Without being too disrespectful to my family, this is my favourite time of year bar none.

Just to make sure, no one else knows anything else about changes to Wrigley other than what's been said here, right? I guess I might be stuck waiting patiently (or impatiently) for March 2nd. :P

PM bcruise, he is a Cubs fan and played games at Wrigely. I am sure he can answer any questions you have.

Re: Post thoughts here for Community Day Hands-on Impressions

Yeah, much thanks to you guys for sharing your community day experience!

A couple of questions if I may. Did anybody try the game in 1080p? In 09 you had to use custom ps3 settings to play in 1080. Just wondering because I got a new HDTV and can't wait to play the game on it with the new graphics you guys have been talking about.

Also videos, how do they look? Movie maker? For 09 the video resolutions were really low for viewing on the tv. Although they looked ok for youtube...
