re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

How frequent did you see players running through each other? Was that at least toned down this year?

Knight just showed me Citi field and there is now a (Pepsi) generic sign there it went in last night.

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

This is something I asked on the first page, but don't know if it was answered:


Does the strike zone now depend on the stance of the player rather than the player's height itself? As a better way for you to understand this, in The Show '09, a 6'2" guy with a crouched stance would have the same strike zone height as a 6'2" guy with an upright stance as opposed to a smaller strike zone.

Finally! Wish I could have seen it. What about the ads behind home plate?

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

In regards to the throwing meter....

is there a "danger zone" of maxing out the throw that would lead to overthrows? Similar to the Show's pitching meter as well as MVP's throwing meter, if u release in the red u have max velocity but a lesser percentage of making a good throw.

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

It seems to lead to much lower accuracy, not an overthrow. But I have seen some throws sail their intended target.

Did anybody happen to check the number of slots available for "Sounds of the Show" music?

I know last year people had to mix songs into the same file because they could only upload a certain amount.

Has this limit either been removed? Or at least raised?

Or if nobody checked.. then Russell... Could you chime in?

Good question, especially with added music options [ie 7th inning, pregame, win).

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

While it does look a little odd at times, I don't think this is something that should be too big a concern. I think saw a ground rule double twice while I was there.

Thanks Pared! I have to admit seeing that video made me slightly concerned only because I remember the 2k series, for years, had concrete for grass and I always hated that.

Also it seemed in that video that whomever was playing was purposefully trying to let the ball go. It was probably a very high hit ball and would have easily been caught if they were trying.

Thanks again!

Russell, great work and as always im really looking forward to this game. Not just the best sports game, but one of the best games out PERIOD!

Just wanted to know if you could possibly elaborate a little on the online play side of the game. I know the team has made mention of putting some focus there this year to eliminate the lag/traffic delay issues that have plagued the game the last few years. Just wanted to know if you could shed some light on this and a few other online issues.

Is there an on screen indicator to let us know if the mic's are on or off?

Has the team moved the mic on/off toggle from the left stick to another button?

Will the graphics take a hit again for online play? I mostly play online but there is a noticeable drop graphically while playing online. Has this been addressed?

Thanks for your time and keep up the good work!

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Playing 09 last night made me think of another question. When you position a fielder under a pop up, most of the time a catcher, does the player still slide as you adjust the catcher or do they now look more fluid and take actual steps toward the direction you are moving them?

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Interesting, Still no one has commented on the Fielding and if it includes more realistic variation this year with Player Ratings playing more of a role in the outcome and animations that are generated.

I think alot of us would like to know if players demonstrate more realistic fielding attributes and tendencies like their real lif counterparts. Last year too many mediocre fielders were making these prancing charge, scoop and throws on the run with ease

I'd love to hear if anything this year has changed/improved/ more variety etc


thanks

See nemesis and pared's statements on this in the stickied thread up top. They explain it in detail and nemesis had to correct his earlier statement.
