    Yes, analog. I gotcha now, I was just thinking weirdly about it.

Yes, certain pitchers who have long slow motions will result in the ball falling down the shaft much slower, really depends on the pitcher. Also, when you are in the stretch the yellow release line moves up close to the top to compensate for the quicker motion.

      Good questions!
      Very cool. Thank you.

        Hey Knight,

        I would guess that you as a manager guy would enjoy some additional fielding cams, or a customizeable one. Am I wrong? Is there any sense on the dev side that we'll see more playable fielding cams or a user customize cam in the future?

        One thing you never hear a complaint about in a great game like NBA2k11 is lack of playable cams. I wish mlb could do the same so I could see more ball flight and more of the gorgeous stadiums. Thoughts?

I thought that it was angled too low in 10 and was not really functional on balls hit to the outfield, but I loved what it did for infield play. It looks like in some of the videos that it has been changed a bit but I can't tell for sure.
          Thanks fellas
          They may have tweaked it.....but as a playable camera for fielding...it might still be too tough.

          I would love them.....and it's not out of the realm of possibility down the road.
          I don't know if anyone is old enough to remember the CAMS system in FPSPRO:Baseball...it was pretty cool back in 1994.

            The fly ball is here------------->









            The play is here--->

            You move you player towards the ball in an arc fashion and it unleashes a strong throwing animation.
            Thank you for the drawing..It was very detailed

            Does this only work for the high fly balls that you have time to camp under or can you do the "ark run" toward shallow fly ball too ??

            Reason I ask is I never get smooth throwing animations when I charge the ball and rarely can I trigger the runway throws so I must be doing something wrong

            Do you have to preload your throw before you even field the ball to trigger the animation or maybe I'm running up to the catch region too fast to get a smooth throw animation to trigger ??

            I really need correct fielding 101 apparently

              Pre-loading is a must IMO.
              I've seen some pretty bad throws...because I suck mainly...but also because I don't pre-load most of the time.(I'm just trying not to misplay the ball!)

                Yeah, you and I are around the same age. The best thing about that game was the physics IMO. Loved the bat on ball contact and how accurate the hits seemed to be in comparison to pitch location, etc.

                  Want to try power?...hit square...

                  Down 0-2?....you can try contact swinging.

                  Of course you can do any of the above on any count as well.

                      Never actually dove (or got the chance to) at a ball in play but I believe it's still the same - I could be wrong though.

                      Again, this was me just messing around after each play and diving like a fool (also injuring one of my guys in the process). I never learn...

                          We don't know...
                          It wasn't in any of the builds we got to play.
                          We saw it for a few minutes in an old build that was autoplaying in the room when we were signing the NDA's...that was the last we saw of it!

                            Me too..I'm too worried about over running the catch region on fly balls or missing the ball completely when charging line drives so I just run to the area in a straight line and camp under it and never try to trigger the strong momentum throws
