Does The Show PREDETERMINE HRs or DISTANCE on ball contact?

Re: Does The Show PREDETERMINE HRs or DISTANCE on ball contact?

That happens to me all the time. One time it was so bad that I had to start taking every curveball no matter how good it looked so that the CPU would stop throwing me curve balls after he walked a few fellas

Good idea, but most of the time I don't realize they're curves until it's too late. It makes me chuckle remembering how I laced a single & double off of him in the first inning -- both on sinkers/fastballs -- for 2nd & 3rd, one out. I was thinking, "man, I have it going this game!" Then he started throwing the curveball...

Don't the box scores kinda look like this already? I'm not sure about the LOB stat but most of what's here I've seen. Or at least I think I have.

That bottom portion is what people are looking for.

Re: Does The Show PREDETERMINE HRs or DISTANCE on ball contact?

I'm new enough to the game that I'm still worried about leaving pitches over the plate. Just like you said, my nibbling naturally leads to walks, which leads to me trying to "get it over", which leads to me getting shelled. I can see where this might decrease in time as I play, but at this point it feels as well balanced as any game I've played since High Heat...

As far as hitting goes, I have trouble recognizing/staying back on curves & changes. My eye/discipline in terms of location is pretty good -- as long as I read the pitch correctly -- so I can & do work the count and draw walks. They can nibble inside/outside/high/low all day and I won't budge. But, if I'm way out in front of the junk in the dirt thinking they're fastballs, it only leads to more junk in the dirt, as it should.

What I love is that the AI attacks my weakness(es). The last game I played the CPU was killing me with the hook. Mike Pelfrey threw 40+% sinkers/fastballs and 40%+ curves in 8 innings of shutout ball.

In short, it's real baseball.

I think you pretty much nailed it. And what makes this so special.

Do boxscores keep track of LOB stats and does the game track LOB stats for a team throughout the season?


Im a big fan of the LOB stat.........since the Mets are so good creating these

I'd like to be able to track this stat by team thru the year

Same here LB.....LOB is a very telling stat, along with individual pitch counts for the pitchers.

I would like to see a High Heat type spreadsheet for stats that could be downloaded and printed.

Honestly, I love to see some Saber stats, like FIP, wOBA, UZR, EQA, WARP, etc. You guys should get with Baseball Prospectus or Fangraphs for MLB 11.

Re: Does The Show PREDETERMINE HRs or DISTANCE on ball contact?

I think that is a little over board. Besides, most of the saber stats are worthless anyway, lol. Now I wait for the uber stat nerds to attack

I believe the boxscore is the same as last year.

Which still is really not all the bad. Although the LOB stat would be nice.

If SCEA would add the following format after the boxscore, it would assist when you go back to look at historical stats.

Re: Does The Show PREDETERMINE HRs or DISTANCE on ball contact?

After playing a few RTTS with MLB '10, I definitely noticed that once I loaded up on the /9 stats, my player got tremendously better. As for the HR/9 goes, I would imagine that a high rating helps to reduce the power rating of the batter. Instead of a 400 ft HR, the ball becomes a 380 ft flyout to deep center.
