Ha, thanks. Thought I didn't have to explain it there...

Right now the baserunning doesn't work that way (tapping) but it would be a cool implementation...

Let me ask you this though, wouldn't this be what EVERYONE does anyway in a head to head game? Ball gets away, you bust it up the line. No one is going to think, "Well, Manny wouldn't bust it it up the line, so I just won't tap X." They'll just do it.

Madden's mini-game is a skirmish that happens once in a while. This would ideally screw up running controls everywhere. A tap for X queues up an attempt at home plate. You can't have specific controls for this scenario because if a runner is on base, that's something else to account for.

You'd have to add in a controllable turn, whether or not to go up the line (for whatever reason), etc.
Looking at the big picture, I wouldn't say it's worth it... but I'm not a dev. So there.

Very good point. I can't remember which game it was, but one of them you could tap a button to run faster to first. As it turns out, you end up tapping that button every single time you run to first. Since that is the case, why not make the default just running as fast as possible to first?

About the thrown out on ball four, I thought it was obvious that a player wouldn't try to take second if he just jogged down to first, whereas a faster player would try to take second by hustling. Therefore, I couldn't figure out how a slow runner would get thrown out. Don't you just love how the obvious isn't quite as obvious when dealing with electronic communications?

Ha I hear you. I come across pretty harsh at times even though that is not my intention. Stupid words.

Miracle they are finally going with analog controls. Hopefully, this year the game won't get stale after a few weeks.

Question about crowd interaction (sorry if it was asked already),

will thundersticks, tomahawks, and towels waving be in the game this year?

I think no matter how good anything is it will always get stale after a while. Like my wife for example

lol

Nah. Old dogs like me just need to be kicked sometimes to restart the old noggin. As they say, common sense isn't always common, and mine seems to be nonexistent at times; especially in an electronic forum.

This is great to hear, especially in regards to throwing home.

With the new ratings system, how editable are fielding abilities? I guess what I mean is, are these fielding changes mostly under the hood, or is it mainly about a bigger noticeable difference between arm (strength/accuracy) ratings of 50 and 99? Or any new or different attributes to edit?

Of course, if the Cubs' home jerseys do not have exactly 19 pinstripes across in Pantone 294 blue, I'm not buying this f@$%ing game ever again.

Yeah, but I'm a big fan of baseball, and if it is good, it could last me a year. I think MLB 2002 was the only baseball game that i played and kept for a year.

You all were not the only ones. Ramone and the rest of us were wondering where the heck were all the gameplay questions.

Jokes were going around about just shipping the game with players, equipment and stadiums, but no gameplay!

All jokes obviously.

Good idea about having separate sticky's for next year. Noted. And a must it seems now.

It's because we all know the gameplay is going to be fine and better than ever, so there's no need to worry about it. When you have a sports game where people are mainlky gasking stadium, stance, motion, and all those types of questions, you know that it's a good game.

True....we actually were saying this very thing at the event.
We should feel lucky not to be bombarded with other things.

Cant believe I forgot about thes questions until now lol! This for RTTS.

Is there or can there be an option for the camera to follow the ball instead of the player?

Does the camera work better to where you can see your 3rd base coach while you are on your way to 2nd base?

Are you able to edit players other than yourself? Id like to be able to change names looks equipment etc to all those stud rookies that are bald, have tight pants no batting gloves and a generic 1 stance lol.

I talked with them about this at length. I'm not sure if they've made changes but it was tied into our discussion about the new baserunning/stealing controls mapped to the RS.

First, thank you to the CD team for providing outstanding feedback and insight on the development of the best sports gaming franchise I've experienced!

Did any of you have an opportunity to see if the ability to pull back a bunt was easier this year to execute in '11? In previous years, especially in bunting situations, online players would purposefully throw balls to steal strikes even though the batter was trying to pull back a bunt. Have push bunts been added?

Also, is the pickoff system the same? With the inclusion of balks, it seems like the potential is there for balks to get called on pick-off attempts. Or will the game only call balks because it's simply tied to the pitcher not stopping before starting his motion to the plate?

Have any of you also been able to confirm if replica cars were added to the left field wall in AT&T Park? And also if the pillars above the RT field wall spray water when a Giants player hits a HR and when the Giants win?

Thanks again!

Not sure if you guys looked over my initial post on p106 as I've seen some other questions answered. Any answers to the questions above would be appreciated!

Thanks!
