Enigma, the rain info you gave in your latest writeup is just remarkable!

Ha...you wouldn't if you had products that people used images of, without your permission...in a situation that you didn't find ideal for your product image.(Obviously, I'm not talking about The Show...but I doubt companies are going to "freebie" their products at any rate)...

It's gotta work around the horn..not just for one situation.

They had the Rawlings license.

And I heard it first hand about the %. Now it can be a baseline that the marketing and lawyers set for them so they can stay in the "safe zone". Either way, better safe than sorry. I am sure other companies receive fines they never tell you about.

ok, and you had to know this was coming LOL!, how come the rawlings logos werent used?

Hopefully they tweaked the logic as far as the cpu using their relievers. The main reason I wanted this feature was to keep from having all the 100 + appearance guys. And closers ONLY closing, even if they haven't pitched in several days.

That is done already.
Fixed.
Brian went in and changed some code...I tested it and at default...a couple of 90+....a few 80+......mostly 70 and 60+ appearances. It will change both the sim and in game logic.
Add to that....Brian also now has tied in the MANAGER HOOK, SP STAMINA and RP STAMINA sliders to not only the in game(which is what it was last year)...but to the simmed games also.....so you can tweak it however you see fit....and it works.(I tested it by simming 5 seasons at default...those were the numbers you saw above.......5 seasons with MANAGER HOOK maxed(back to 100+ appearances) and MANAGER HOOK all the way down(top # was in the 60's...and descending from there)....as you can tell...it also effected the starting pitcher IP #'s.....hence why I asked him to tie in the SP an RP stamina sliders into simmed games(after all...even though you are PLAYING your game...the other games are being simmed)....in order to tweak it as you like.
No worries here.

For you manage only mode guys....I think Kolbe will definitely give us some attention in next years version...this and franchise should get some "love".

Well there actually isn't a 30% rule. Although that number has been thrown out there for a while now, it's actually not entirely accurate because it is impossible to put a percentage number on a copyrighted piece of work. But I agree with Enigma in his main point that it is infringement, plain and simple. I deal with copyright issues a lot and there isn't a certain percentage. It's really in the eyes of the court. The safer bet is just not to take the chance at all. And I am sure someone at SCEA brought it up and they were told not to...hence the dog.

They could use a black and white horse. LOL. I kid, I kid! I really think the dalmation is a great idea if they can't use a cow.

Thanks, that's great news. Last year I would move the relievers to different slots in the bullpen depending on how often they had worked in the previous two days. The results were mixed, at best.

By the way some of these Braves fans act I am surprised they do not have a centaur there, lol.

I really wish there was someway to tempter everyone's expectations a bit.

I'm not looking forward to the annual "why didn't you see this" or "why couldn't you ask them to fix this" comments.

I sincerely hope everyone realizes it's a baseball video game, but a damn good one as well. The biggest issue I see from all this are people being hyped up unrealistically and then looking for a scapegoat if it doesn't meet their expectations.

Please don't go placing blame if individuals who enjoy the game are simply looking to share that joy interactively and want nothing but a better, more realistic game as well are excited to discuss a game with others.

Well I know the story behind the dog...

Shawn the Sr. Environmental Artist was told by the powers that be, that they could not use a cow, regardless if it was a different sign. The likeness was too close.

So he likes dogs and who doesn't quite frankly, so they went with the dalmatian. The creative freedoms they have and the things they come up with are quite remarkable (Bata' Who? Batalucco Noodles! Instead of WB Mason LOL), named after one of the game designers. It is a testament to how good this team is.

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

Is there a way to save the "Game log" after a game where i could view it later? Like what happens if i had a very Amazing game of baseball and i want to look back on the game log to see how it all went down.........

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

Nice right up Enigma! The way you describe the look and feel of the stadiums has got me extremely pumped to play in all the stadiums. And I'm dreading having to wait till march lol..My first game will be at Turner and it WILL be raining haha

If not, there's a sort-of workaround to be able to view them later....

Remember that XMB screenshot feature? Yeah....it works in menus too.

Probably would take about 10 pictures or so to fit the full log (or you could just take screens of the best parts), but that is one way of doing it.

Thats what I love about the devs on this game. Instead of just saying Nope, can't put that in, lawyers say it's a no go. They find very creative ways to get "insert item here" in the game! I don't think I can wait much longer...where is that damn delorean when you need it!
