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

Are there more varieties of fielding animations this year? I hate seeing the shortstop or 3rd baseman taking a couple of hops as he just lets the runner get closer before he throws. He should field the ball, set, and throw or field and throw.

The ss and 3b aren't supposed to be stationary. They should be moving towards the base they are throwing.

Have any of the CD guys described the new hitting camera angles that are available? I know we can do custom angles this year, but I was wondering what any of the new pre-set camera angles for hitting are like.

I might just take pics of all of them next week

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

In last year's game I felt like throws to home always made the catch reach to his right and then have to reach back down to the left to tag the runner.

This would usually happen on throw that hops to home, as if the hop always causing the ball to go to the right....its not organic.

It might be to look at this, but can you please mention? Thank you.

I couldn’t agree more on this. Now that the uniforms and stadiums frenzy has eased up somewhat, we should spend a little more time on gameplay. On an earlier post, I also mentioned the fact that MOST throws from the outfield '' land '' on the first base side of the plate. Then, the catcher tries to tag the runner but it's always too late. I think this is a major flaw. Also, some long throws, say from the corner outfields to the middle infield seem to change direction and pick up speed on the way. That looks very weird. That last point was not seen in the Show 09. Perhaps the gameplay people can take a look at that. Thank you for checking.

They tuned the outfielders to be less accurate? I am not sure how I feel about that. I recall last year never getting accurate throws to the plate even when you were throwing with someone like ankiel. but speaking of that is the catcher gonna block the plate correctly this year and stop doing that swipe tag that never gets an out lol?

They are but buys with Cannon's and accurate arms can throw out people form the outfield this year. Fielding has been completely re-done Nemesis is doing a pretty big write up about it.

I meant to say 09 and 10.

Yep I was also thinking the samething after reading that.

I always felt the outfielders are not accurate at all when throwing home!

Almost every throw goes nowhere near home plate. And way up the line.

Except for the center fielder he does seem to have more accurate throws to home plate. But forget about the Left and right fielders

this is exactly what I am trying to say. Are you agreeing or disagreeing with my post? I am trying to say the fielder in The Show will stand in one place and pump the ball while waiting to throw instead of making a smooth, quicker throw.

I am assuming this has been addressed?

I am not down with the green smiley face lingo....lol

[EnigmaNemesis]

I just noticed that the pic in the other thread has 98th on the green monster and a pic in this thread has 99th on it......

Edit: Actually, They are both in the same thread - one by 42 and then the second by you actually lol.

Yeah, I brought it to his attention and he changed it along with the abbreviations for the out of town scoreboard.

They are fast and skilled!

[EnigmaNemesis]

They should consider it flattering that the gameplay is so damn good already! It's like Maslows hierarchy of needs lol.

Trust me, lol, I was making those comments

[EnigmaNemesis]

- there were some gameplay questions but they got lost in the storm of stance, uniform, and stadium edits. I am personally waiting on you guys to post your individual impressions before I ask the gameplay questions, I have a few more about ball physics, Fielding, pitching and hitting. I love analog controls and can't wait to read about what SCEA did with it in detail. I just figured I'd wait till the storm passed, maybe others are doing the same.

I will just say this before I take a nap, been up since 8 yesterday...

The ball physics are night and day. Not even comparable to last year. It is like a happy medium between '09 and '10. They are great!

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

I think the point is not fix the new game play issues (since thats impossible for us to point out) but all the glitches and mishaps that happened last year...there were enough complaints (rightly or wrongly) so not sure why people dont care about them now. I asked my game play issues and both were addressed..if we wanted these issues to be fixed we needed to get them in before now...so anything you guys find here on out..will probably be fixed in 12 or if its big enough a patch...

[EnigmaNemesis]

They tuned the outfielders to be less accurate?

That is a too simple way of looking at this. They gutted and rewrote all the fielder ratings. So there are outriders that are less accurate than others. And the elites will now stand out.

I saw Nem playing Ramone, I forgot which team Ramone was, but Nem was smart to recognize the fielder and knew not to take third from first with his runner, and just settled for first and second with a ball laced down RF line into the corner.

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

1. Are there many new foul animations from the batters? (fouling off balls)

2. Do the announcers Announce the Starting lineup in the beginning of the game?



3. Any Field Degradation?

4. Does Rain make players slip? Make field muddy?
