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 don't think it works that way but I could be wrong.

Just imagine the zone broken down into thirds vertically. Your right stick movement up can go in three directions: up to the left, straight up and up to the right. No matter if the pitch is high or low you are moving the right stick to one of those 3 quadrants based on pitch location. Just remember height is automatically being adjusted for you.

THIS IS CORRECT.

Dmbfan,

Do you know if balks will occur if the pitcher does not come to a complete stop? I know some players simply like to choose their pitch and rush their delivery without comming to a complete stop.

Or, are balks simply going to happen when you are attempting to pick someone off?

Thank you for your review by the way. Excellent work.

Yes, the pitcher MUST come set. If not it will be a balk. Also for offline only a batter may step out of the batter's box and call time.

Graphics: Yes, there IS rain. I seen it I do have one small clip of it but don’t know how it turned out.

DMB...thanks for the report and well written thoughts, as ever you deliver yearly

I ask, is there any chance we can get a look at this video of the raining, no matter how poor the quality may be?

Thanks.

I don't think it works that way but I could be wrong.

What he asked was what Nem showed in the diagram.

If the ball is high and to the left, you pull back and swing up to the left. If the ball is low and to the left, you again pull back and swing up to the left.

You as the player ONLY have to account for a smooth strike, timing, and outside/middle/inside. High and low is adjusted for you. There is still player ratings that are taken into account as well.

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

I think I touched on this but probably hard to understand my explanation. IF the pitch was high and outside you definitely could swing towards the pitch location. However, if the pitch was low and outside how would you swing towards the pitch? You can't. Hope that better explains it.

Oh I was actually talking about pitching, but EN answered it for me. Thanks.

If I didn't reply to your question then I didn't have an answer for you. Thanks for the comments. I look forward to this time every year here on OS so it's my pleasure to get any info I can. The CD guys tho will have way more info then I could ever provide. Can't wait!

Fantastic, a basic thing that was sorely lacking from previous years.

Will help me to calm down instead of hacking at rubbish when im annoyed

Yeah, I'll get that up sometime tonight. I have to do a conversion first.

I can't believe they even added a step out/timeout option!

Truly incredible.

Nice.

All I have to say is you all will be impressed with the attention to detail Sony has done with the rain.

Knowing these devs, I am sure there is still more to be revealed.

I sure wish they could of implemented this for online but Ramone said that they couldn't come up with a number of times allowed. They didn't want people abusing it for online. I would think once an inning would be ok tho???

My goodness I'm pumped for this game. The devs. continue to innovate every single year. Absolutely incredible. This year will be a huge leap (even moreso from 08 to 09). March 8th can't get here fast enough (earlier for some lucky ones :wink

Yeah, I asked Ramone if the rain would look the same all the time and he said that it would vary based on the time of day and stadium. So the one I'm uploading is from Kauffman stadium and it looks dreary gray. We should of progressed inning by inning to see how it affected the look had I thought about it.
