Im at work and cant go through all the comments to see if it has been asked , so really quickly has anyone seen if the fielders have batting gloves on under their fielding gloves. With everything else added so far this is the only thing im missing. Thanks.

Knight,

Is there any chance you could elaborate on the other addition to the roster editing portion? Editable Leagues?

With the new player vault and possibility of league edit we could actually start a 1986 franchise? With the swapping of players and their potentials we should be able to create a 1986 franchise.

Only if we could get the retired jersey lock off we could have the real teams with the players and correct potential in the right leagues and right uniforms!! I may be dreaming but I like where the Vault is heading.

It's the Vault and another feature that will be great for historical SEASONS. It's not really going to work for a franchise(we may be headed there!)...and I can't really elaborate until the dev blog.
It's a "work around" that's going to allow this...not a feature specific to our wants.

Knight, you mention few weeks ago you would check if they added an UTILITY player position instead of the traditional SS/2B 1B/3D ......

No changes to this.

I hate to keep saying next year...but...next year.

Knight, could you please put a bug in the devs' ear for this next year? Seems like it would be a simple thing to add. Thanks!

"Does the pitcher actually turn his head around toward second base to look the baserunner back in his lead? If not, could you please ask them to do this next year?"

Something else Citi Field related I noticed...Not a big deal at all if they can't get this fixed but I thought i'd post it anyways

The C in "Citi" is slightly mishaped -




This is the real scoreboard and "C" shape

you kidding right? Wow

The coke bottle can not be changed. It is a licensing issue.

aukevin is here, and we saw the Tomahawk, it looks great.

I will be getting with a dev on the backstop and the Glavine's number

All the ballparks just look more ALIVE. More full, and just overall better textures and graphics (lighting).

Even the TROP looks FANTASTIC, I am NOT lying!

Update on the Coke Bottle...

I got with the Environment Artist on this, and we exchanged some ideas that can possibly work. So cross your fingers.

No Clements is done with stance edits

Well can you have him put it on a list for next year? In all seriousness the virtual counterpart of the best player in baseball should bat like the best player in baseball.

I've said that exact same thing several times in this thread. I'm shocked the number of people who are concerned about minute and unimportant details like how many peanut vendors are in the upper deck and what colour the seats behnd the bleachers are, as opposed to actual things that will make the game better.

This may be something that was forgotten about, but I am wondering if the numbers will again be on the back of the jersey of the players when they are in the base running window in the top right corner? Was missing last year.

#'s are NOT on the back of the jersey when viewing the base running window.

Here are some screencaps of the new RTTS interface, advancement goals, etc.

As you can you can really pick up a good bit of training points this year after each game. You don't lose points many times, so you can always expect to get some points after each game. When I played yesterday the only things that would make me lose points were when I was caught stealing (-10) or made an error (-5). Never does it ask you in a game to take a strike or stuff like that. The devs told me that you might still get a base coach telling you to steal or hit and run, but you don't lose points for not completing the action.

At one point I received a message from my manager that I could no longer steal at will because I was getting caught too much (like everytime lol). I wanted to see what would happen if I didn't listen so I stole some more. After that I got another message saying I would be sitting down for a game because of it. I was back in the lineup after my one game sitting.

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

I only came across two of the training modes in RTTS yesterday, the timing one and the baserunning one. In the timing one you you get get a certain amount of opportunities to make good timing contact on a pitch. You get more training points for completing the training in less tries. For example if your goal is to have 10 good timing swings, and you do it in 13 tries, you get more points than if you do it in 17 tries.

Baserunning training is the same as last year as I saw, where you try to steal a base. But it is set up with the same goal/opportunity system, so you'll get like 20 opportunities to steal 10 bases or something like that. Getting the goal done in the fewest tries nets you the most training points. I wasn't able to steal a base successfully at all yesterday. Today I'm going to try a different running mode (I was using classic, R1 to lead and run L1 to return to base). I'm going to try the New controls which is similar to the controls of last year because you can lean before you steal and Ramone was telling me that helps your steals a lot. My player's speed was in the 40's.

I saw Glenn playing some training modes and he had one where his goal was to only swing at fastballs. That one looked fun.

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

Enigma, thanks for all the work you and the developers are doing to get these stadiums as life-like as possible. I was wondering if you could elaborate on the LED ribbon boards circling the stadium, are we going to be seeing some situation specific type stuff there or did I misunderstand you? Can't wait to hear more about all of the stadium specific animations.
Thanks

-Nemesis, thanks for the fielding reply, are you seeing any slicing or hooking of line drives and fly balls down the lines? This was one thing I really wanted to see because very seldom you see a line drive hit to the opposite field without slice spin on it. If not, it's all good, just think it would add a bit to hit variety.

Thanks to everyone for everything. You guys are great

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

my biggest concern are baserunner gloves...are they finally in this year?

This is my biggest pet peeve also, and I addressed this with Ramone a few weeks ago, unfortunately it is NOT in the game.

My biggest gripe is this and it kills me that it is missing from this great series.

The individuals that ask for this sort of thing are being respectful and not overly dramatic or spamming/repeating themselves.

There's absolutely no problem with that. Stop belittling them please.
