MLB 11 The Show First Look - Operation Sports Forums

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know OS now has an official Discord that you can join right now. We’ve kicked around Discords for individual games in the past, but it felt like the right time to make it more of an official thing.

Steve and I have wanted to get this going for a bit because we obviously still hear from y’all who are unhappy with some stuff on the forums, plus when there are forum outages we still want to have a place for everyone to hang. My overarching goal for the longer term is to have both Discord and the forums ultimately work together. There are some logistical issues with the vBulletin forums that don’t allow things to sync right with Discord so there will be a little maneuvering as we try to get mods and forum members any proper roles/tags they need on the Discord, but we can work through that stuff easily enough as people join.

Our general goal is to give people more options to interact with OS community members, whether that’s Discord, the forums, this newsletter, or improved apps. If people want to stick more to the forums, that’s cool. If people want to stick more to the Discord, that’s also cool. In my perfect world, we do a lot of BSing and day-to-day chatting on the Discord about games and sports, and then more of the “in-depth” discussions or hefty things like long slider breakdowns or analysis of gameplay end up on the forums so that can act as a sort of “best of” area for anything OS community related. That said, you all will ultimately shape how the ecosystem shakes out, I just want to give you spaces you like so you can have a good time with other folks in the community.

The same general rules will apply on the Discord as they do on the forums, and we’ve brought most of the forum categories to the Discord as well so there should not be too much confusion as you navigate around.

With the Operation Sports and Discord announcement now out there, it’s also worth mentioning our OS premium newsletter, which quietly launched a couple of weeks ago. Built off the Not Just Another Roster Update newsletter, it offers a mix of retrospectives, guides, interviews and deeper dives into the sports gaming world—covering both current and classic titles.

I took Russell's reply as, 'wait for the stadium blog to come out for details on stadium upgrades'

In the preview, I think it was mentioned that the HUD is customizable now, you can move pitching meter around, etc, and turn things off and on.

Do not know about mapping to a button though.

Whoa, did I miss this?? Which preview mentioned this? I would love for this to be an option.

It uses the PCI, so it will be bigger and smaller based on hitters, and also bigger and smaller based on counts and situational hitting.

I didn't see anywhere that the zone hitting was based on the PCI. The PCI does change between batters, but not as much as I'd like. Hopefully this gets tweaked.

The PCI was already kind of cursor/zone hitting, but you could still make ineffective contact even if the ball was outside the PCI. Is this all that is being changed to the PCI to make the zone system?

Re: MLB 11 The Show First Look

- Could this be a new broadcast fielding camera? The ball is in play in left field and the angle is pulled back and higher than it was in 2010. It could be a replay also I guess, not sure

You are getting confused. Zone hitting is already in the game now, just like you said.

They are having CURSOR hitting added now. Where if the ball is outside the PCI cursor, you will not make contact.

Russell confirmed it in a thread.

PCI was tough for me. I already mentioned the radial system it had (difficulty occurs because of it being pressure-sensitive) and like ASB 2003 and thereafter, once you committed with your swing the PCI would "stick" without being able to move it again. This really hurt for my TV which lags enough as is, but it seemed almost unfair and pretty difficult to handle.

I'm sure the proper adjustments have been made, though. I also would like to note the difference that used to be made between the terms "zone" and "cursor" for a hitting system, discussed at large here a couple of years ago.

Even if it's a replay with camera editing possible we can make whatever we like.

Yes its been tweaked a lot. The major change is you can no longer make contact with the ball when its outside the PCI. Some batters can foul balls this way but you will never again see solid contact when your PCI isn't on the ball.

I'm sure it probably is because fielding is a dynamic camera of sorts which probably has an entire algorithm behind it to make it track the ball and field boundaries properly, but I wouldn't put it behind them if they found a way around this obstacle. :o
