What do you suspect will B changed in '11?

Re: What do you suspect will B changed in '11?

my hopes:
1. the ability to turn off all visual aids/indicators (quick menu text, swing analysis text, pitch type w/ corresponding face buttons)...pretty much anything on the screen not seen in an mlb broadcast
2. the ability to turn off vibration for certain things, but leave it on for others. i love vibration for fielding, and batting...but like it off for pitching
3. true manual fielding...if i screw up i screw up, no bailout from the animations
4. adjustable camera angles that can be saved for offense/defense (playable).
5. adjustable angles for the broadcast view (high, med., low)
6. there are many random camera angles when hitting a homerun. incorporation of a random option for these camera angles in the HRDerby
7. pull the camera down a little bit on pop-up out replays...sometimes the camera is late panning down and misses showing the actual catch
8. fix the slow motion replay on foul ball off the ump..it starts too late in the replay and doesn't really capture the awesomeness of the collision detection
9. please fix the pitcher actually holding the baseball in the pitcher/outfield views when pitching
10. i love when i see a player run around another player to avoid ghosting through them...please have it happen more frequently..or just have them forced to the side of another player to avoid ghosting through them...i've seen this sometimes, it looks better than ghosting
11. make trying to not get picked off on the basepaths easier...throw out the attribute and just make it time based...make it so we can turn on a dime just like avoiding being tagged when in a pickle...this is very fun when in a pickle because the controls are so responsive
12. the ability to assign music to all nine innings
13. ala the japanese spirits game, give that little extra second for the swing follow-throughs to complete before switching the camera on strikeouts, hits, foul balls, hrs, etc..
14. don't allow people who fall over the wall reaching for a foul ball to go through the ground
15. don't let the vendors go through the backstop when using behind the pitcher view
16. an algorithm that allows us to adjust the strikezone rectangle's width/height...but still allow umps to mess up calls sometimes.

...at work, that's all i can think of quickly. great game, thanks scea.

Re: What do you suspect will B changed in '11?

Whats "normal" base running controls?

Don't know about normal, but I think we should automatically being given control of the lead runner, whether bases are loaded or empty. When I play I'm watching the ball, not the runner's window, and make my decision based on what I see happening,and my first decision always is what do I want my lead guy to do. When I hit the left analog stick, the proper runner is not always highlighted, seems only to happen in crucial moments, not having to worry about this would make the flow of the game smoother, remember this is just for the lead runner.

Re: What do you suspect will B changed in '11?

They need to get real cleats, such as the Nike, under armor etc in NCAA 11. Also, the gloves look like wood, make some better looking gloves! I love the game but have since stopped playing due to the tremendous graphics of NCAA. Also, maybe a option for a shorter franchise mode...I could work with 120 or so.

Re: What do you suspect will B changed in '11?

Whats "normal" base running controls?

The same controls that baseball games always used in the NES/SNES days that worked perfectly fine. I want to send a runner from first to second I press up + X, to go back press right + O. Wanna advance my runner home from 3rd? Down + X, to go back press left + O.
Sure, those controls from back in the day didn't let you trigger multiple base advancement ahead of time, but I would GLADLY give that up to have realiable baserunning controls.
Please just add this control option, you can just call it "Simple" baserunning controls or something.

Re: What do you suspect will B changed in '11?

For me just polishing up 10 would be find for me for 11. I would like to see the ability to argue call from manager and players, also bench clearing brawls with suspensions handed down. The show is already the greatest game ever made IMO so it doesn't really need much new stuff as long as minor flaws are taken care off. I just love this game. Hell I have 10 but I am still even playing 09, I just can't seem to get away from my Reds 09 franchise.

Re: What do you suspect will B changed in '11?

1. I would like to see coaches rated like the players, with bars or overall numbers.
2.I would also like to see the normal instant replay mode in the homerun derby so we can replay that homerun.
3.I would also like more stats such as groundballs thrown, first pitch strike %, just more stats.
4.Mix and Match uniforms would be cool also (even though you probably can't do them).
5. Overhaul the uniforms. No more throwback old throwback uniforms. Just give us MULTIPLE AUTHENTIC uniforms for ALL teams. I've never seen the Cardinals wear the throwbacks that are in the game. Put in the elastic wasteband.
6. Fix the way the Gold Glove is done. Not in alphibetical order.
7. All Silver Slugger awards
8. Put in the real MVP trophy. It used to be in back on the PS1.

Re: What do you suspect will B changed in '11?

Some things I would love to see in the SHOW 11
1. Allow us to edit everything about SCEA players (potential,hair,facial hair,etc...) Absolutely everything.
2. Some more body styles like Beer Bellies and such.
3. Even more Batting Stances and Pitching Motions. (get some of the current players right for instance Eithier and M. Kemp).
4. Pitching Motions and add another for when pitching from stretch.
5. Keep Improving Franchise and Franchise Logic.
6. Add another stat for Pitchers like versus RHB and LHB which would really give you a lefty specialist that's just not based on the Batter.
7. Allow us to Edit Managers and like previously stated have them give bonuses or negatives to your team based on whatever qualities they possess.
8. Get rid of some of the awkward pitching motions that looks as though they are playing catch with their 8 yr old son.
9. Add even more stats and stat overlays during games.
10. Keep improving presentation (maybe like a weekly rap up show from MLB TV)
11. Keep improving the Announcers.

Re: What do you suspect will B changed in '11?

The following is what I would hope to see:

1) Right now I transfer created players the slow way using each players scamatic it takes months. In 2008 I finished 4 or 500 players and started my season and a weak or two later 2009 came out...
I know this has been brought up before but wouldn't it be nice to be able to incorporate any created player individually by the press of a button? Hey I'm a dreamer...

2) I missed out on the "Classic parks" this year I ordered from gamestop and got my vouchure and had my plan which was to carry my PS3, TV, and game down to our RV game-room download the parks once and I would be good to go. Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men...
Could SCEA add last years Classic Parks (2010) to (2011)? No download good to go etc? or charge more for the game as an option of all the extra stuff?

3) Im hopefull this will be the year the NEW PlayerMODELS make the cut...

4) I would like to hear Matt anouncing the Classic Parks and when we pick a classic uniform he will anounce the team that goes with that uniform... so it could sound something like this:
"The New York Giants are facing the Brooklyn Dodgers today at The Polo Grounds"...

5) To top off everything classic why not add different era gloves and equipment...and round glasses.
One little thing please take away the light colored ring thats centered on the bat..
I hope first names like Kirby, Sandy, Chief and Stan make the list...

thats it,

Online franchise is all I want.

Re: What do you suspect will B changed in '11?

1. Combine the first and last name sound database into a single database or at least copy all the same names across them so both databases contain all the same names. My rationale for this is that there are a number of instances for minor league players where a name is in a database list other than the one you need it for. Examples were Brennan Boesch (Brennan was in the list of last names, but not first), Kyle Peter (Peter is in the list of first names but not last). There are so many names that are used as both first and last names. Detroit even has a minor league player named CLEMENTE Mendoza. I see no benefit to the user in having separate and different lists of first and last name sound files.
2. In the "Edit Player" mode the ability to edit player potential. This would eliminate the need to hunt for fake players of certain potentials for creating certain minor league players. I would also like to see potential editable for SCEA created players as well so we can change them if we believe the potential they were assigned in the roster was not correct. One could even change the potential mix if one felt there were too many "A" players and not enough "C" etc.
3. If there is an SCEA player that we need to remove from the roster (say he was released during Spring Training), the ability to simply move him to the Free Agent list without the need of transfering a player from there to replace him (so we can create a new player from scratch like in RTTS).
4. Other than that, work on the bugs and glitches.

Re: What do you suspect will B changed in '11?

HOPE will be changed
1. depth charts
2. Action in the outfield slows down, make it run smoothly
3. More scouting on hitters- they hit this pitch well- they don't hit this one that well
4. Better throw animations, lots of twisting and turning and just all around carrying on prior to throwing the D*** ball
5. Less absolute crushing of the breaking ball by the CPU,-I am afraid to throw it now
6. Sick of my outfielders being slower than the CPU's
7. If you do an in game save, pitcher confidence re-sets and anybody warming up in the pen goes back to cold, I don't like this ( don't know what else it affects?)
8. Baserunning gives me fits

Re: What do you suspect will B changed in '11?

To add to my previous post:

-The possibility to trigger the cutoff man after the ball is out of the outfielder's hand and the possibility to let the ball pass him if the bounce and direction is good.

-The possibility to save exhibition games, yes I'm one of those people

Good idea.

Re: What do you suspect will B changed in '11?

when pitching, i dont think i see any variant of a defensive swing animation from the batter. subtle but needed as it happens every game. you get fooled on a pitch but your hands are able to direct the bat to a foul ball off/ spoil a pitch.

Re: What do you suspect will B changed in '11?

more starting times during the afternoon

early afternoon

late afternoon (FOX broadcast)...and have the corresponding diff in daylight for each start time

allow us the ability to change the starting times to franchise/season games
