Sorry you will have to wait until the lighting and stadium ambiance blog.

Will there be an opportunity to hear the new announcing crew in action before the release? Which seems like lightyears away...

This is truly the best time of the year! I love the months leading up to release and then the few days before when everyone is looking for an early copy. December starts the months of anticipation and then months of enjoying the game. I love The Show!!

Exactly! When I was a kid, I started counting down to Christmas the day after Halloween. Now, I start counting down to The Show's release date the moment the first preview is posted.

Today starts the long wait that gets even longer with every new pic, blog, preview, and trailer.

Re: MLB 11 The Show First Look

Everything sounds awesome. I'll take a wait and see approach with analog controls, as I would rather have it just as dependent on ratings as user feedback. Who knows though, I may love analog. Everything else sounds amazing.

Any word on updates to classic pitching or hitting? I'm assuming they are still options, but I had some issues with control while pitching last year. That, and I am a poor cursor hitter, and my only success last year came with classic hitting.

Looks like some nice improvements. Still looks like they have many generic batting stances.

Here was a complaint about MLB 10: The Show that I wrote last year



Great Game! Not a lot of improvement from 09. A little visual/gameplay

Dear the Show Visual designers Team,

If you guys are reading this, I greatly appreciate you taking the time to hear my thoughts/ complaints. The game is great. Great gamplay. VERY realistic hitting/fielding. I really enjoy being able to play my own music saved on the PS3. Im a huge Cincinnati Reds fan. Yes, you probly dont care, but for you guys to make The Show are more realistic game, you should definitely improve the batting stances.

For example, Brandon Phillips second baseman for the Cincinnati Reds has been playing in the league for about 8 years, and has been one of the Reds best players for about 3 years. Yet, dissapointingly, his batting stance is inaccurately portrayed. Not even close. Every time I play with the Reds, I manually change Brandons stance with either David Ortiz or Scott Rolen, just because seeing that "Generic 2" ?? batting stance just annoys me.

I understand it is impossible to get everyone exactly right, and you must have some/many generic batting stances, but it greatly annoys me when Ive been playing the Show for years and Brandon Phillips batting stance is generic year, after year, after year. Next year, OR maybe a Batting stance patch this year, I would really like to see more accurate and updated batting stances. But improving these problems is a way for MLB "The SHOW" to really become the most realistic baseball game, and to ultimately represent its name.


That was my main gripe from MLB 10, but looks like (maybe) that havent even attempted to fix it?

How do you get "many generic stances" out of those few pics on not showing anything?

And these are shots of a way early build.

None of that stuff gets added until towards the end.

Re: MLB 11 The Show First Look

I would just like to remind people to post their stadium feedback issues on the show site. I am going to hope to high heaven that they get the Twins fixes in there and from what I see a lot of those AL teams have not been spoken for since last april. The more we can suggest the more they can do in time. I just posted a super res photo and one with updated grass patterns. I hope they can get some of those fixes. Somebody else posted the new stuff going in too.

That was my thought as well.

Re: MLB 11 The Show First Look

Could someone briefly explain to me/ link me/ or PM me on the difference between the current button (and L-Stick) only cursor hitting, and the upcoming button only true zone hitting?

No if your PCI is not over the ball you will not make contact. It's been changed to work the way everyone wanted it to last year so now its true PCI zone hitting.
