MLB 11 The Show Hands-On Impressions, CES 2011 (dmbfan1970)

Re: DMB day @ CES '11. Hands on.

were you able to see if stadiums with retractable roofs will actually be closed during cold, hot, or rainy games? I think it would be pretty ridiculous if it starts raining on the Astros at home.

Appreciate the impressions DMB!

How were the ball physics? Did the baseball still have a rather unrealistic bounce?

Re: DMB day @ CES '11. Hands on.

mmm ok. Thanks. No rain delay then. Does it mean retractable roofs will stay opened ? :wink:

Hmm what is the point of putting in rain AT ALL if there are:

1. No rain delays?
2. No retractable roofs?

As a developer, I think you're only asking for more glitches if you try putting something in that has no effect on the game. (i.e. raining in domes). Ask 2K about that.

On the other hand, if you put rain in and actually try to have meaningful effects as a result, like slipping fielders, rain delays, closed roofs. I, as a consumer, would give you more credit even if you ended up with some glitches.

Quick question about balks. Are you going to have to come to a complete stop before delivering to home plate (of course with runners on base)? Thanks.

I absolutely love all the camera angle options they have added this year.

It is to set the foundation, I would think.

Pretty naive statement!

its called building a foundation. And just because there aren't rain delays, it doesn't mean that the weather will not have an impact on the game.

And to whomever mentioned raining in domed stadiums, I believe Russell mentioned that they took into account factors so that you wouldn't see anything wonky.

DMBFan,

In regards to analog hitting, you said:

"You can’t swing up and then towards the ball if its down in the zone..."

So, if the ball is down and to the left, wouldn't I press back on the right stick, and up and to the left to hit it? No?

Can you clarify the low pitch comment?

I think you've got it right.

Based on the impressions so far, the way it seems to work is a straight back and forth motion to swing, but in order to reach pitches inside or out, you have to angle the stick in that direction on your follow through (pull back to load your swing and then push up either straight, left, or right, based on the pitch location to hit the pitch. High and low is automated).

Height is auto adjusted so if the pitch is low and outside you would still aim up and outside to hit it

Correct. To add, it factors in player ratings just as it did with timing only hitting.

A bad low ball hitter will still be a bad low ball hitter, etc

That's how I understand it too.

But, the quote from my above post is throwing me off a little...

Or maybe I took it out of context.
