Next year, they should try for the PS-Eye being able to snap a picture before it starts.

A. Snapping two pictures of:
1. Body position
2. Arm position

Then instead of a player model, just use a silhoutte and gradually build from there if they continue it in later versions.

Also, I am pretty sure that in some MOVE games that they actually project your body on to the screen, like as if you are in the game. Would be nice if they just showed the person with the controller on the screen, and the controller was replaced by the baseball bat. Only problem is you would have to stand like 8-10 feet away from the camera to get your whole body in frame though.

And you would be faced forwards, not backwards.

Huh? You would be facing sideways, like you would if you were playing the game.

Wait, let's refresh.

Let's pretend the TV is the pitcher. If you were to bat, that's how you would face, correct? Forget forwards, backwards, sideways. You would face the television as if you were batting against it.

Now if the camera was also positioned alongside the television, that would mean it's capturing that part of you, not the other way around. When we play from the batter camera as opposed to the pitcher camera, the webcam should technically be behind us if it wanted to capture us.

I hope that makes sense.

You're being extremely closed-minded.

There needs to be a balance. You want this series to do well and expand its consumer base so it continues to make money and can afford to innovate in other areas.

Asking to cater to simply the "sim players" would be foolish of them.

They do a nice job of catering to all groups, even if the game does have a "sim" slant. That doesn't mean they should close off any chance of making the game accessible and fun to those that are "casual" buyers.

I see what you're saying. My comments were a little unfair. It's not a big deal. I'm sure MLB11 will be a great game.

EDIT: I've just finished reading Knight's write up in another thread and what's been described so far sounds terrific. I thought I'd save some money by sticking with 10 this year, but it's going to be hard to resist 11.

Exactly....
IMO they almost had to have some sort of MOVE support. You cant have your flagship title not have it. While it would be cool to be in RTTS mode I'm fine its only on HRD right now.

As long as no trophies are in this years game like "hit a homerun in HRD using Move" I am perfectly content with this addition.

I'm pretty sure (I'd bet, actually) that Sony mandated it to be included somehow.

Either way, from my experience it's a pretty fun addition that I can see my family utilizing at parties. It reminds me of the Wii's baseball game in Wii Sports... only you don't need a Wii now.

There are some pretty crazy and funny trophies in it this year. Kolbe is a mastermind and a masochist with his ideas.

I don't understand.

Why would you have a problem with move-specific trophies?

If someone wanted to go platinum and couldn't because they didn't have the Move accessory, I could see why there might be a problem.

How many guys are platinum?...or even close.
I would think that if there was a HR derby/w MOVE trophy and that was the only one holding you back from completing the list....the guys at SCEA would send you one!
I don't there are specific trophies requiring MOVE though. I could be wrong though. I think aukevin looked long and hard at the list. Maybe he could tell you.
