MLB 11 The Show First Look

Re: MLB 11 The Show First Look

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.

Awesome.

- I thought camera editing was only for hitting and pitching cams...

You are correct. According to first look... I'm more concerned with the pitching/batting cam so I got confused.... Lol

Re: MLB 11 The Show First Look

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

-thats what I was thinking. I see how the hitting and pitching cameras are fully editable because they only focus on two locations, pitcher and/or batter. The fielding camera is far different because it has to scan the entire field in real-time as the ball is moving. I would be floored if they were able to get each team's television broadcast camera into the game but if not, that screen looked to be adjusted to me which would be great.

Its all good! I understand, I use the offset camera now because it seems to work best for me with timing and pitch recognition, but it still isn't what I really want to play with, it's just what I play best with. Iv'e had a hard time finding a happy medium with hitting cameras thus far. I cant wait to tinker with this hitting and pitching camera.

Hey Russell,

Thanks so much for making the best game better! Is there any chance that a robust website will be incorporated? Something like a typical fantasy football/baseball website where you can modify line ups, make trades, create schedules for an online league, do a fantasy draft online, look at league stats, standings, etc.

Same here man! Can't wait to make one that helps these old eyes. 3d may be my answer to me having a hard time with the depth perception. We'll see..

haha, my wife and I just upgraded to LED so it would be very hard to explain a fresh new 3D tv! I'm sure I'll be able to find something to give me a nice view of the stadium and funtionality as well.

Re: MLB 11 The Show First Look

To clarify you can only create camera angles for pitching and batting.

Re: MLB 11 The Show First Look

I'm just wondering, I swore in '09 the Billboards were dynamic as in showing promos for TV shows but I didn't see this in '10. Will this be back for '11?

[CMH]

Allow me to explain...

Prior to last year (or was it the year before) all of our pitchers acted exactly as you describe, but we began re-doing all of our pitchers (a multi-year process) so that they have personal step-ups, nods, etc...we have not finished this process, however, so some "legacy" pitchers remain. These personal step-ups are most obvious from the stretch..where the pitcher will be bent at the waist, etc waiting for signs...but your example of Lincecum is correct, he had not been re-done in the new way.

I am sure Pettitte has a "personal step-up" with his hands up high before he takes his signs. It is possible his hands are not exactly where they should be, and I will look into that, and correct it before we ship.

Chris

And this is why you guys are amazing. The Pettitte example was a poor one and I didn't check to see if I was right but I was certain this animation "issue" was present.

It doesn't matter. It seems like you guys were already attacking this before I even cared enough to comment on it.

Thank you.

Re: MLB 11 The Show First Look

A very small nitpick, but a nitpick for me......when batting, and you foul a ball straight back to the backstop is that sound effect still present where it sounds like the ball is being thrown against a chain link fence? Unless it's supposed to sound like that (never sat behind home plate, but I dont think it does), I dont know about anyone else but its really silly to hear that. I'd rather hear nothing in the background or a thud off the back wall

Re: MLB 11 The Show First Look

And this new management in RTTS, this it mean they won't do things like call you up to the big leagues just to make you sit on the bench waiting for Albert Pujols to get hurt or something? And I really hope there's something that can be done about them calling you up just before you get to play in the minor league All-Star games to get those 300 skill points. I find myself having to tank objectives that end just before the game so I don't get called up premature.

I hope the scoreboard news includes the standings on the green monster along with rest of the board. If not no biggy but it would be sweet
