Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Last year, how often in Feb. did they release blogs? Only once a day? Did they release a new one every day?

it was once a week.

They cannot just add the roof to the existing stadium. They would have to build a new one and that takes time.

So stadiums with retractable roofs are they open or closed? Or no different than last year? Thanks.

Regarding the new pickoff system, especially the deceptive.....some pitchers have a quick delivery home (Joel Piniero comes to mind but not left-handed). Will their "deceptive" move mimic their normal delivery?

Also, I can't remember if this has been addressed but is there the inside move to 2nd base?

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Not sure if this has been asked yet... but have the rundowns been fixed? Last year, you could be in a rundown and go back and forth with the runner and the CPU would just toss it back and forth. The CPU never charged you or tried forcing you to return to the previous base.

Also, kind of a random question, but do some of the batters still stand with their feet outside the box? For whatever reason, some batters would be too close to the plate and their feet were almost touching the plate.

I wish we had the option to move the batter in the box as we please. Same thing with moving the pitcher on the rubber. Seems like a simple enough thing to make happen.

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

You're correct sir - you do NOT have the option to open/close.

Well that kind of sucks.

If Madden can have the option, no excuses here...

I brought this up last night in another thread. Judging by screenshots/videos, it looks as if that wasn't fixed. Batter still stand too close to the plate on most occassions.

This game isn't Madden. Each game is independently created and has difference focuses in its development cycle time.

Plus, I'm pretty sure you can't simply remove the part of the roof that needs to be open, it would take SCEA some development cycle time in my opinion if they were to make open versions of domed stadiums to get the right roof pieces to where they are in real life.

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Yup to be able to do that they would have to build the entire stadium again.

Are player apperances more customizable this year? Specifically player bodies? Or does everyone still look identical for the most part? Been hoping they would move out of the ps2 era and allow for 2k style customization of legs, arms, upper body, etc. to make truely unique looking players.

Not quite sure I see any advantage to being able to close it up other than for authenticity sake. There is no rain or snow or ice and there is no temperature affect. Until those things are introduced, I would prefer devs focus on gameplay...I dunno.

That's an excellent point, and one that's been overlooked.

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Simple question : pitchers pickoff ability is based on which rating ? Fielding ?

At the same time, is all players rating are the same as last year ?

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

I searched the forum and didn't find an answer to my question, so I figured I'd post it. In one the videos of gameplay showcasing the game Russell said that as a catcher in RTTS you would have to block pitches in the dirt, as anyone heard anything on this. From what I've seen so far, most of the stuff covering RTTS was about being able to call a game from a catcher standpoint and the new training drills, just wondering if anyone had heard about being able to block pitches.
