Re: MLB 11 The Show Community Day Discussion Thread - Questions, Answers etc.

fielding...OF'ers in particular.....what is weighted more when determining the outcome of a play...the user ability or player ratings...in terms of fielding and throwing

thanks!

I think that's tough to say.....at the start of the play...the "assist" that starts you on the path to the play if not gone...is very, very low from what I understand. So that first jump is really up to you now. So that's much more USER reliant. From there...a mistake with a low rated fielder will make getting on track tougher than a highly rated ...but it will still be up to your input until you get into the animation range....for both making the play and lining it up for a branch on the play. So that's a little bit of both....I think once you get yourself into "the zone"....the ratings get a little more weight ...but you can still track the player into a different path...and the chance of error and the catch animations that are available to you are rating dependent....but not totally.....so this part of the play is more rating dependent.

That's my take on it.

The Phillies and Braves have been selected to play in the Civil War Game. This means they will be wearing OLD old throwbacks. Will these uniforms (which haven't been announced yet) possibly make it into the game? Maybe in an update?

Re: Was manage mode fixed in the 2011 version?

I'm interested in this as well, MOM is the only mode I'll play and would love to know if the developers improved this mode any. If not that's ok, the mode played really well in last year's game.

Played well? It wasn't terrible but the cpu managed the game at times instead of me.

Unfortunately since I'm getting no response from those who attended community day so it appears manage mode continues to be the redheaded stepchild of the game.

Knight stated in an earlier post (I can't remember where) that there wasn't much done for MOM this year. I believe he said they were l planning to work on it for 2012.

At a minimum they needed to allow the user to manage the game instead of the cpu taking over in some situations. That would be a simple fix.

Re: Was manage mode fixed in the 2011 version?

Knight any new info on whether the 2013 free agent glitch has been corrected, or where they stand on it?

Thanks in advance

It's really not that big a deal for me because most of the time when it happens I would have done the same thing anyway. Most of what you are talking about is a pitcher bunting without you calling for it. You'll see the occasional pitchout or SB attempts but it's not that frequent and if it does happen (at least for SB attempts) there are times when players will do things on their own anyway so it just doesn't bother me all that much.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love for MOM to get some love but there just aren't that many of us that play it exclusively so I don't expect them to spend a lot of time on it. Honestly I'd like to see a new mode brought in, something along the lines of a GM mode where we are in charge of every aspect of the organization. Manage mode is fun though and I really enjoy playing it and being the coach/GM. Most of the time though the only thing I'll do during a game is pitching changes, pinch hitters, and double switching. I don't get all caught up into pitch strategy, moving the defense, etc. The game runs pretty well itself and there are times where I can leave it running and do something else and not have my franchise affected. It allows me to go through my franchise quicker than I normally would if I had to focus on every pitch.

I'm thinking Kolbe is just too busy right now to contact me. Maybe he won't. I can be a pest. :o
I will let you guys know....if I get to know.


In regards to MoM.....like I've stated before...multiple times. You have to remember how the manage only mode came about for this game. It was never really intended to be a feature of the game until Kolbe put it in there for his father, who wanted to check out the game...but couldn't really play the game. He worked in a manage only mode. In it's current state....it's a "forced" mode. They took a CPU vs. CPU game and gave the user the opportunity to make moves in it. They've fleshed it out the best they could...but some legacy issues as a CPU vs. CPU game pop out. I think Kolbe would actually rather re-do the entire mode then keep going into piece-meal as it has been done in the past.
I'm hoping for this for '12.

Are you saying he would rather redo the MOM mode rather then just a few tweaks, I think I understand you right there? If so, like you said that would be great, this mode is fun if nobody has tried it, especially if you like the strategy aspect of baseball. It's also fun if you like to make moves as GM and see your product on the field....just my .02 about the mode.

Re: MLB 11 The Show Community Day Discussion Thread - Questions, Answers etc.

Ya and his stance still looked awful 3 years running.....

I'm sorry I'm just venting because Dodger fans have nothing new to look forward to in our stadium like other teams... NO new HD scoreboard to brag about being awesome NO stadium renovations and NO big free agents to play with


I put lots of effort into showing them whats incorrect with Ethier's stance with details and pics showing why it's wrong and how to fix it and I get totally ignored yet someone gets Utleys fixed after 1 post

You did not get ignored. I am just not a Dodger fan! :P

Just kidding...I am sure I had someone work on Kemp and Ethier's stance after you PM'ed me, and I added them to the capture list for next year, just in case. Unfortunately, I don't have time to respond to every stance request, etc....

Oh yeah, and you called me 'Brian!"

Enjoy.

Back to work.

The redo would be incorporated into both I would assume.

I think you mean the Civil Rights Game. Usually, they wear really boring plain uniforms that neither team really wore in real life (i.e. script in Arial font, black and white, no real color).

If that's the case the developers should simply tell people that instead of encouraging people to post in the bugs and glitches thread. It can't be that hard to fix, the old High Heat series got that part of the game right.

Thanks for the reply, but it is disappointing to hear it was ignored.

Just a friendly little question for you Chris, by chance do you know if Jeter's stance was altered in any way? I always thought his hands should be lower. Looked like he was holding the bat way too high. I don't care if it wasn't or was addressed I'm just curious thats all
