It is the same, but to me looks better with the new models due to the arms looking less compact.

It's still the same? Even with new models it is WAYYYY off. Sorry if I seem upset, but he is the best player in baseball. Can you ask if they can fix it, because I remember in 08 the fixed rollins stance from the demo to the regular game.

Will we be able to save our choices from the "OPTIONS" screen that is displayed before every game? Hope so.

Thanks,

I sure don’t want to be a killjoy, but at this time last year we were all raving about pictures of stadiums and players that you guys were nice enough to send us. They looked incredible... and they were. We were all pumped up and couldn’t wait for the game’s release. When we finally picked up the game and started playing... well, we started singing a different tune. Of course the stadiums, the colors, the uniforms still looked incredible... but oh, they were so many problems with gameplay. The people at SCEA then realized that indeed there were quite a few glitches and flaws. They proceeded to send us 3 patches to fix them. This year, hopefully, gameplay will be better right from the start. I realize it can’t be perfect. I am no programmer and I can appreciate the enormous amount of work that goes into building such a fantastic game. Don’t get me wrong. I AM NOT DISCREDITING ANYONE. I read every single comment on this post. I find them most informative and the respondents are sure on the ball (no pun intended!). I am looking forward to buying the ’11 version. My only wish is that the gameplay will be as incredible as the pictures we have been getting. I keep my fingers crossed.ffice:office" /><O></O>

Im going to take part of what you said and elaborate a little bit, I think you were about to let loose but feared what people will say. You had a valid point in one thing, that is the "hype" presented by the guys there. Its all good I'd be excited as well, and its not like theyre going to say well this sux and that sux. However somethings get blown up, simply because its from one persons viewpoint. One thing Nemisis might obsess over, one of the others could feel is meaningless, (im just using him as an example) point is he will be excited to share news, and through his excitement might make someone here think something is so perfect than be letdown. All im saying is brace yourselves, facts are facts but you never know how good something is to YOU until YOU play it. The only thing I fear that you might have also meant, is if our fellow OSers will get timid and shy not speaking up about problems with anything because they want to seem greatful. Being assertive and offering CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is something anyone in a power position will value. Im sure from the sounds of it anyways that they do give their feedback though so thats good.
just my thoughts...

Guys, did I hear there was a video taken at CD at Kauffman with sort of a rainy day look to it? If so, where can I find it?

I hate to be one of "those guys" but, a pic of Carl Crawford and/or Adrian Gonzales would be appreciated.

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

I have 3 questions. If you guys have time to check these things out.

1. Can we change the color of the catchers helmet? For some reason Ryan Hanigan has a black catchers helmet instead of Red. I just wonder if or could they add this option.

2. As Hustlin' has posted, I would love to see a shot of the entire left field area of GABP. Thanks for the other shot 42. It looks pretty close to the real thing. Good to see.

3. Love to know if Jay Bruce and Joey Votto have updated stances and/or rituals.

Thanks guys. Would love to be there checking the game out. Can't wait until March.

What you guys should realize is the amount of things that we caught that you will never know about (and rightfully so).

The glass isn't always half full.

The individuals here encounter problems and PRO-ACTIVELY look for a solution, rather than posting "oh man, this is a real problem!" on the forums.

And I don't think it should be any other way. Instead of complaining about it, we DO SOMETHING. That's the difference.

I did post that the throw canceling might become an issue at the worst possible time due to user error but nothing we can do but wait and see at this point.

The hype of this game and the options its pumping out allowed me to just do a presentation in my business class on this game...I think i did well and everyone thought the game looked amazing

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

Whenever you can use a video game in a business class is amazing.

I had a question refering to licensing, such as the coke bottle, and the pepsi porch at Comerica.

If anyone gets a chance could you ask Russell why companies would not want their likeness to be used in a game? For instance, at Comerica Park, Pepsi sponsors the Pepsi Porch in right field, why would they not want their likeness used for free advertising in MLB The Show?

I mean they are spending all of that money anyway for everyone at the ball park to see it, why not let the game players see it for free?

My guess is that Sony would not make them for free? I may be wrong, but if you think about it please ask. I would be interested to hear the response.

LOL...thats awesome...I know I had one person while I was at work, I was watching some highlights from MLB 10, and the person said to me, "Hey, I didn't know they played baseball in winter?", "I said its a video game", he was amazed how real this game looks.

To piggyback on what Pared said based on my own community event experience (for NHL11), I think he sums it quite well. You have an analytical eye while you're there, you give feedback & exchange ideas with the dev team, and if something doesn't seem right, it's a far more productive to see what can be done about it than to come here and say "_____ didn't work as it should" ASAP. Now that doesn't mean we shouldn't expect honest feedback, but it has to tempered with a realistic outlook on a work in progress and what can be done from a design standpoint in a given period of time (from '10 to '11, from now to release, save it for '12, etc).

Also, the other side of the coin is reporting new features/additions/tweaks/etc. This is one is tough, as you want to share all the new stuff and it inherently sounds positive. I know I really looked into NHL11's GM mode improvements when I was there and when I re-read my own report, it can easily give an impression of "all this new stuff... this is going to be great!" I even made a conscious effort to say things like, "we'll see how it plays out over time" or "I simply didn't have time to run a bunch of sims to test ______", but it's so easy for that to get lost in the shuffle of "look at all the new stuff!" when we're reading impressions.

In the end, we should all have a pretty good idea of how this works by now. We can trust the community guys to represent OS well while there and shoot us straight afterwards. But, we need to keep our heads and know that with a yearly release cycle, some things will need further attention, either by post-release support or for next year. But I'm confident that both our guys and SCEA will do all they can during these few days to give us the best possible product they can come March.

I don't know what Russell will say, but I would think it's an image thing. These companies want control of their image, and they won't have that control if a video game company comes in and manages it. Therefore, they want these companies to have the rights for their image, and these rights cost money.

I can understand why you would think that these companies would want their names plastered all over the games, but they want the money for the rights to do that. It's a matter of demand.
