Re: MLB 11 The Show Community Day Discussion Thread - Questions, Answers etc.
--taken from aukevin in the invitee only threadI was told that the degree of separation between my fastest and slowest pitches is going to be around 15 mph or so. So if I am topping out at 100 mph on some pitches, my arm-speed will only allow my slowest pitches to be in the ballpark of 85 mph or so.
A few questions regarding this:
1) Is this also in effect for all other players or just RTTS
2) What about players with slow curveballs? Ex:Clayton Kershaw's CB is 20mph slower than his FB
3) What effect does this have on pitchers with a Sinker as his fastball and no 4SFB or 2SFB?
4) What effect does this have on pitchers with SLOW fastballs: for instance if I made a submarining pitcher with a 77 mph "fast"ball. Could he then through a 62 mph offspeed pitch? (77-15=62)
These are primarily targeted at aukevin but Kinght may want to get in on this as it may affect roster making. Thanks!!!Comment

Re: MLB 11 The Show Community Day Discussion Thread - Questions, Answers etc.
When I was discussing that with a dev it was just in terms of RTTS. I'm not sure if it relates to other modes or not. If you want to have a slow ball pitcher, you need to apply your training on the velocity of your slow pitches like changeups because that actually slows those pitches down. If you apply your points to your fastball velocity this will cause your arm-speed to increase which will make your other pitches get faster. The 15mph was just a ball park, it could be a little more. My RTTS pitcher I had was throwing 100 and I also had a fully maxed regular change and it was in the 87-90 range. I added a circle change to that pitcher and it was around 83-85 and still had my 100 mph fastball. Had I been able to apply more points to it's velocity, I'm not sure how much it would have lowered or if it would had sacrificed some of my fastball velocity. Had I had more time I wanted to mess around trying to create a slow pitcher to see how slow I could get him to be. Basically they told me if you increase the velocity of a fast pitch your player's arm speed increases, thus making your slow pitchers faster. If you increase the velocity points of a slow pitch it decreases your arm speed and will slow pitches down. So you need to find a medium you are happy with.Last edited by aukevin; 01-21-2011, 10:48 AM.

From my experience in the editor the only limit are those within the editor itself. You can create or edit a guy to have a 103 MPH fastball and a 70 MPH curve or 68 MPH changeup. Not realistic, but you can have it that way.

This isn't what you're referring to, but mentioning hair and seeing you & Tree reminded me that an "inside source" told me McCutchen is looking good this year...Comment

Did they mention if they are planning on adding things for next year? We may have to reconcile to the fact that we might never get licensed gear, but more generic designs would be awesome. I noticed in older versions they used the louisville slugger model bats and some different style cleats. It a shame they took those out and replaced them with the rawlings instead of keeping them in and just adding the rawlings bats.Comment

1) Ah, so it's not so much tied to the team, but to the home ballpark... I get it... very cool!
2) That's good to hear. I did get an answer earlier that the suction was reduced, so if the area itself is smaller and you have to be lined up better to make a catch, I'll be happy.
Maybe next year there's a wishlist request for a "Catch Region Size" slider, which I think could be nice, but it sounds at least like there are some solid improvements this year. Thanks!

Same in the editor.
The players by SCEA may have(many have) been redone.
Gear?
We can ask...who knows what they have in store. We expressed our feelings for more "generic" options and they seemed open to it. We did get more colors...and options a couple of versions ago('09 maybe?)...so obviously they will add if they get time and feel it's a benefit.

Will there have to be pitch edits this year for the pitchers or has SCEA improved in this area?Comment
