Re: MLB 11 The Show First Gameplay Video: Red Sox vs. Phillies

I imagine with it now being tied to triangle, a pressure sensitive button, that it'll be much much easier to pull off on bunts. Huge huge huge change. Thank you...

Oh ok.. For some reason, I had assumed all of the face buttons were pressure sensitive.

It's not a huge issue by any means, but it will be nice if it's a little bit easier to pull back a bunt. Especially since it is something that is so easy to do in real life.

All the face buttons are pressure sensitive. And the L1 and R1 are pressure sensitive as well.

I never knew that the face buttons were pressure sensitive. So if I press on the square button harder then I am swinging harder? If so does it increase the the chances of hitting a homer if I square up on the ball? EnigmaNemesis could you or someone else please elaborate on the effects of the pressure sensistivity of the face buttons? Maybe if I didn't try to press so hard I might cut down on my swinging strikeouts????? Thanks in advance.

I don't really know if they're pressure-sensitive or if they're timing-sensitive, so to speak. It's pretty tough to not be "all or nothing" when it comes to pressing a button, but normally we press it harder if we want to hold onto it anyway. So when check-swinging, you have to tap the button as opposed to holding onto it (which is normally done by pressing it more lightly, no?).

Controllers have been pressure-sensitive since the old Nintendo consoles: tap the B button to make Mario not jump as high, etc. I don't know what this has to do with bunting though.

They are digital in this game. I do not believe they have pressure (analog) sensitivity for this game.

But other games, like racing games (Gran Turismo was one of them), used them for gas and brake sensitivity.

Re: MLB 11 The Show First Gameplay Video: Red Sox vs. Phillies

The only button that I see as MAYBE, possibly, being used as pressure sensitive is the X button. (check swings) But really, I don't even know if that's a pressure sensitive function or just a timing thing (Quick press = check swing) I don't know though.

I just feel that if bunting was completly tied to pressure sensitivity it would help alot in pulling off on bunt attempts.

Beautiful! Pitching animation issues are still unresolved though. No sense of any real power behind the pitch, and the release point of the ball appears to be inches away from the pitcher's hand. Both have been an issue since the PS2.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the 4 buttons are not pressure sensative, but work in the game as time sensative. As you mentioned, they are basically all or nothing.

The L1 and R1 are pressure sensative as can be seen in racing games that use them as gas and brake.

Thanks for the evidence....I was wrong

Re: MLB 11 The Show First Gameplay Video: Red Sox vs. Phillies

game looks great. it looks very realistic and lifelike watching this clip. when i go back and play mlb 10 the show tonight on my LG/42inch/720p plasma it will look really clean and crisp...too clean and crisp. there is something about the subtle colors in this clip that i wish i could go home and reproduce on my tv somehow. is this just a change in how mlb 11 the show looks or is there something i can change as far as settings and calibration on my set? for some reason, i love the way mlb 10 the show looks during overcast games because the colors are more subtle and it looks very realistic imo. thx.

One thing I didn't know though is even the D-pad is pressure sensitive. Wow.

I'm not so sure. I think the main reason is the animation system. It's kind of like in fielding were when you hit a trigger and you get sucked into a preset animation. That's how it feels with pulling off of a bunt. You are stuck in that bunting animation...feels like you're stuck in the mud.

Regardless, I just hope the focus on changing up/adding to the hitting system allowed for a fix in that area.

It's that "camcorder" look that makes it so awesome. I love watching games when they're recorded like this, they always look cooler for some reason.

Re: CES 11: Red Sox vs. Phillies Gameplay (Game Trailers)

Hopefully they improve the pitching motions this year. I've been waiting for them to do that for years now. They just don't look as fluid and intense as they should. This is one thing I still think the 2K series has over this franchise.

The only thing 2K has over the show is the commentary, but this isnt the place to discuss it because its against the TOS i think, but all ill say is that I think The Show now that they have added Karros this year will have a MUCH better commentary, and I never thought it was poor in the first place.
