Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

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

What are all the situations for Sounds of the Show..when they listed some of them it said and more. What is and more...what are the rest of them?

Will the custom music work during online games?

I haven't seen any comments about this despite repeated attempts, which leads me to think there may be an upcoming developers diary about it. That makes me think (hope?) there are significant improvements.

I posted part I of my game play impressions in the sticky thread up top!

A few days ago, i was pumped about the fielding, but now u got me nervous! I just want to feel like I am a part of the catch.....alot of the animations feel like all I have to do is postion my fielder in front of the ball and the animation will take care of the rest. Your impressions were great, but not exactly what I anticipated. Looking forward to Part 2 with the throwing meter! Thats my biggest concern......

I explained that when you catch a fly you need to be closer to the ball to make sure the animation triggers the catch. Last year that area was bigger which made catching a ball easier. So I am not really sure why you are nervous? Remember fielding was not overhauled and is very similar to last year. Currently it is not a total control system.

Yes, why do the sounds of the show posts keep getting ignored? Maybe we will get a producer blog, or maybe someone will here will give more information on the music options for MLB 10.

Because we may not have the answer? We have people posting here who don't read through 63 pages and you want us to?

With everything I did, I didn't have a chance to even get to that portion of the game.

So even if your using RTP and any game ending walk-off situation occurs good or bad it will default to a cut scene

Wow I'm really surprised that they didn't allow for walk-off celebrations to be in real time becuase it's something that happens after a play has concluded

Does this also mean that any game ending situation like a routine save will still end with a cut scene celebration ??

Can someone explain what game situations use RTP from the beginning to the end of the game so we know what to expect to still be a cut scene ???

I'm curious about this as well.
Does this mean we will still get certain cutscenes even while playing in RTP mode.
If that is the case that would not be a bad deal at all kinda like a closeup on a real broadcast.

Question for Knight,
If we were to play with auto/fantasy injuries within our franchise
will pitchers get alot more nagging injuries?
It seemed last year it was mostly fielders recieving a majority of the injuries.

Thanks in advance, and most of all thanks for all your contributions to this great series.

I don't think there is more of a chance one way or another actually.
It's funny, but I found that I would have more injuries to my pitchers!

Either way though....you'll be able to throw a few injuries in to even it out if you want.

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

As far as Playoffs/World Series VS Regular season games is there a "big difference" in the atmosphere or presentation?

Are there playoffs and world series logos on the scorebar like you see on TV?

Do the players have the logos patches on their jerseys?

I second that emotion.

Yikes, it aint even February yet!
Sooooo much to digest.

Did any of the other guys focus on presentation/sounds of the show?

Haha some people have a hard time understanding this for some reason.

they've commented that they couldn't hear the presentation due to all the noise in the room. They also weren't there as "previewers" they were there to test the game and look for and report bugs/glitches, concerns, and provide constructive feedback to the dev team in an effort for the dev team to iron out as many "issues" as the community may have.

I'm sure there will be additional producer blogs that discuss all the nooks and crannies of the game that people are eager to hear about. Remember, the marketing blitz, according to Russell, doesn't begin until next month. We have over a month before the release, and I'm sure that a majority of unanswered questions, will be answered before then.
