Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

why not?

the question is good for everybody that's into Franchise mode

people want more information not less...are you sick or something?

It is the way you made that post, like they have to answer your question. Try being cool about it or be respectful when asking a question. If they can they will answer it, but some of guys are taking advantage of this. So at least be respectful. Maybe it is an age thing how old you?

I think he was just being sarcastic, lol

If it doesn't have this I am not being sarcastic. I felt that was rude and uncalled for. If he was joking than I am sorry.

I think bonna is asking, say its your 1st man in the line-up hitting, you go ahead and sub in your relief pitcher, for when you get back on the field. But while your hitting you end up on a hot streak and make it to your pitchers spot..Will the relief pitcher be in that spot or can you pinch hit and that relief man "suppose" to be goin into the game for relief still be doing so? or are u pinch hitting for that relief man? hope i explained well enough...

Pared, that's exactly what I wanted to know, thanks BravesBoy for decoding my discombobulated English

.

Questions:
1: On the RTTS mode I understand there is an option for Every pitch D only, Every pitch O only or "The ball that gets hit into play" option...

If I set it for the last option is does that mean I can play ALL plays O and D or do I still have to decide which side to play?

If you select just the option for every ball that gets hit into play, you will see all the offensive plays from the bench (unless you're hitting or on base). You will see all defensive plays from your position on defense.

I mean the question has been asked a whole bunch of times and it has been ignored

other people (like myself and others) want to know about this. I don't demand it to be answered, I don't want to seem selfish, but it's a simple question.

I'm not asking for the codes to make a player model, just a simple and basic question that shouldn't take much time to answer.

Yes or no.

I mean that's why there was Community Day right? to answer people's questions and make corrections and if your holding back answers because someone wants to know then that's selfish (unless your prohibited to answer it at the time being)

all this talk about trajectory and velocity and physics sounds to me like this.......

From Monty Python & The Holy Grail

<cite>Soldier #1: Where'd you get the coconuts?
Arthur: We found them.
Soldier #1: Found them? In Mercia? The coconut's tropical!
Arthur: What do you mean?
Soldier #1: Well, this is a temperate zone.
Arthur: The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land?
Soldier #1: (pause) Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
Arthur: Not at all. They could be carried.
Soldier #1: What? A swallow carrying a coconut?
Arthur: It could grip it by the husk!
Soldier #1: It's not a question of where 'e grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.
Arthur: Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here?
Soldier #1: Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?
Arthur: Please!
Soldier #1: Am I right?
Arthur: I'm not interested!
Soldier #2: It could be carried by an African swallow!
Soldier #1: Oh, yeah, an African swallow maybe, but not a European swallow. That's my point.</cite>

You are 100% right. It is just a question and there are probably many people that would like to know the answer.

The problem is instead of just quoting the question and asking again as it may have been overlooked a couple of times, you bolded and made the font about as big as it could be as if the community guys couldn't read. Then basically demanded they tell you.

I would let it go if I were you.

Don't type in big caps and think you're at the front of the bus. Nem was being sarcastic, sort of.

If you would have seen Knight tearing apart every aspect of franchise you'll know that we really didn't have a whole lot of time for some of the questions, same with me and the rosters.

Community day isn't what you think. We were "working", believe it or not, from 0900 til late at night. Hundreds of questions have been asked and we just couldn't get to them all. It was a tiring two and a half days and I was out of gas at the end.

You can only imagine how tired the devs are at this point. Patience, please.

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.

How does the ivy in wrigley look overall?

It is the way you asked, but oh well if you can't see that was wrong. That is cool. we were just raised different. It is all good.

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

Some cool new late additions.

The trade screen will no longer have the interest bar(that would easily indicate wether a trade would be accepted or not)
There will be a "reply" that will hint and then tell you that you will recieve the answer in a few days.
You will then get the e-mail sometime later in that week giving you their reply with the answer.
MUCH more realistic than the previous set up IMO.

Also with the e-mail notifications will be your hot/struggling players in the minor leagues.....and now(newly added) will be a link to go directly to that manage screen to check out the player and possibly make a roster move with him if you like.(previous to today...you had to back out of the screen and go into the player card or manage roster screen)

There is a ticker that scrolls under the linescore now....
It will contain a good amount of franchise info...including
-Game time temp
-Team season W-L record and what place the team is in ...in the standings
-Previous play(ie...DOUBLE (12))
-The umpire crew
-The base coaches
-The game attendance
-League leaders(ie...HR, SB...RBI ...etc)
-Hit streaks(if there is one and when one is continued)

Still working on franchise scores(cross fingers and do a little voodoo! )

Umpire review for HR is in!

Less passed balls/wild pitches(by far)

Less(BY FAR) 1st to 3rd (but I've seen it where it should )

Citi now has a sign where it should be for Pepsi in RF

Someone asked about using a stadium that wasn't yours in franchise(since you can choose ANY stadium...and I mean ANY!(minor-ST-RETRO...or any MLB) in any franchise game(and switch it from game to game if you want)....and it's realation to attendance. The attendance is what it is for the game and the sellout will be what it is stadium specific.

Manage only mode has gotten some slight changes, mostly clean up on the screens.
So far the only thing still hanging over from last year(but I can't guarantee that the others are gone)...are the batters with a high drag bunt will still try to bunt on their own(your batters)
I haven't seen a double steal(that I didn't call for) or a steal that I didn't call for either.
You can't play 2 person manage only mode (I'm still asking!...maybe next year but it's a big rewrite Kolbe tells me) PERHAPS an online MoM would be a POSSIBLITY as a two player option
But you can now choose which team you would like to manage at the start of a game(even your teams games)....
You can't switch control mid game though.
Lot's of new L/R split infor that I aske for specifically for MoM(but it made it in for everything)
