Anymore questions?

Re: I spent a lot of time with The Show 11 and Russell at CES, impressions inside.

A few questions...

1. Did you play at Busch Stadium? Was there a noticeable improvement when/if you played in it with walls and the city backdrop?

2. Are the default stadium sounds accurate for each team?

3. Did the Rangers new LED video boards make it in the game?

4. Any Jim Joyce type incidents in the game this year?

5. What improvement caught your eye the most?

6. How does it feel to play the greatest sports game of all-time before it releases?

A few questions...

1. Did you play at Busch Stadium? Was there a noticeable improvement when/if you played in it with walls and the city backdrop? I did not sorry.

2. Are the default stadium sounds accurate for each team? It was really too loud to hear the crowd accurately enough

3. Did the Rangers new LED video boards make it in the game? I'm not sure.

4. Any Jim Joyce type incidents in the game this year? I didn't see any.

5. What improvement caught your eye the most? The new analog controls. Love em or hate em, they will give you more control of the game IMO.

6. How does it feel to play the greatest sports game of all-time before it releases? There is a first time for everything! I feel grateful enough to be able to attend CES and play The Show 11 with a very nice developer.

My answers are in bold.

Well you should give 11 a rent and see if it changes your mind. One thing I forgot to add about the presentation is that instead of now loading at the bottom corner of the screen, you get a baseball diamond with the blue lines "rounding" the bases. Russell swears the load times will be faster than 10 so here's hoping.

The game isn't sold in Australia so I can't rent it. The only way I can get my hands on a copy is if I order it online, that's why I'm undecided.

Have anyone heard anything about the commentary and presentation of the game? The commentary was so bland and the presentation wasn't that good at all last year. Have anyone heard about any new stats overlays, pre-game or post-game shows, stats around the league...etc?

Let's put it this way, this game is such an improvement in so many ways, we all looked at each other in the airport and said there is no way we can play '10 when we get home. It is now stored away on my shelf, and anxiously awaiting '11.

Going by the fact that all other sports games have licensed gear and baseball doesnt. Yall have been using the same rawlings models for bats and gloves (dont know what you are using for cleats) for 3 years now. I am sure I am not the only one, but I would like some variety and not have every single player look the same equipment wise.

Are you serious?? What are you a sports stylist?? SOOOOO WHHAAAATTTT!!!!!
How ridiculous you sound I mean ALL THE THINGS to complain about... cleats???
Who spends more than a second ON THIS BOARD besides you.. looking at cleats???

Hang yourself already!!

Uniforms?? yes.
What brand socks a COMPUTERIZED Joey Votto wear?? NOT IMPORTANT!!

I have talked about Karros. Bland commentary? Compared to what? How was the presentation not good? They do show some new stats during the game but if you want pre game and post game shows, you need to stick with watching TV I guess. I'm not sure what you want out of that.

I

know not everyone can afford (either monatary or time invested) to get the new version of the show every year but why do you have to tell us? Why do people have to go out of their way to tell us why they arent gonna play it? Are you looking for someone to convince you to buy it or a dev will be like "I need that guy to buy it, we should change the game for him..." your input is valid as anyone elses if you want something changed but people that just post..Im not buying it this year just because seems like they want to spoil the party...there is certainly enough new things to warrant an upgrade so if its not for you cool...but people make it sound like they dont change enough from year to year...My impression is if you are a RTTS guy get it this year..if your a franchise player get it next year..and then in 2013 back to RTTS and so on...so maybe the alteranting year players can have a handele on when to spend their money...as for me..its an EVERY year thing...

I agree with everything said here. Instead of complaining about the things you don't like and the improvements they didn't make(according to some) think about the positive things. Obvisouly most here have MLB 10, you spent the 60 bucks to go buy that so just keep playing MLB 10. To be bothered about a small detail, and I say small b/c I doubt many sit there and watch the cleats on players. That's minor if you ask me.

Enough about that. I can't wait to try this new analog control. I think this is a huge jump. More hands on, more control over the game. The rain implemented here sounds great. Player models look nice. I think instead of changing the game they made additions and they are good ones. Can't wait!!

Do you think in the future we could import rosters or franchises from old games or save rosters from the franchise your playing?

Well compared too MLB2K10 and the MLB today segment of the game. The SHOW gameplay can't be matched by 2K at this time, but the commentary and presentation of MLB2K is unmatched and the SHOW needs to improve a lot in that aspect of the game.

It appears it was across the board. Even the Trop look amazing.

miracle workers, those SCEA boys.

What they did to the lighting, since domed stadiums do have that opacity top to them where natural light bleeds through, Patrick the lighting tech told me that very slight transitional light will work in the domes now due to the type of roofs they have, and night will look slightly different due to the light hue not bleeding through.

Pretty sick!

Make sure to post all your ideas in the thread that comes out about The Show 12 by Russell shortly after 11 is released.

Freeze... I wanted to ask if they have a 2 player online season now. Till now you had to have I believe a minimum of four people to have a season online.
