MLB '11: The Show Community Day Gameplay Q&A

Re: MLB '11: The Show Community Day Gameplay Q&A

This is the first time I have ever seen this brought up on here for this series in all the years I have been here.

And I have never seen this happen once in the thousands upon thousands of swings and misses I have taken in this game.

Fixed. You forgot a detail there...

On RTTS. when I am a 3B, Everytime a back up to prevent a hard hit ball from getting by me. The batter automatically bunts. I did this while Adam Dunn was at bat. And he bunted. Was this fixed

I never tried that this week because I didn't know it was an issue. I backed up some from time to time but not a lot, maybe 2 steps. I never saw a hunt though.

Franchise.

They are trying to tie in(this WAS NOT in yet....so we'll see) the previous year's avg/hr/rbi totals to the first games walkup instead of the ht/wt/age...
The splits(it was alternating between HOME/AWAY and vsLHP/vsRHP were showing up in franchise games.

This is something I've been asking for since this game came to the PS3. What is the reasoning behind not getting this into Franchise?

[aukevin]

I almost dont see this as an issue...stop backing up...if youre gonna give a guy a base hit from an easy bunt by removing your player from a decent fielding position it should happen..now I know maybe it can be toned down but youre trying to cheese the batter by moving out of position and not have a consequence which is equally wrong IMO

Yeah I agree. I'll warn you corner infielders, the fielder assist is off by default this year so you don't get that first step to the ball done for you, so better have some fast reflexes on the corners if you don't turn it back on. It was tough fielding hot shots with a low fielding rating.

Re: MLB '11: The Show Community Day Gameplay Q&A

I am curious about online play. Any details on how Online Franchise will work? How is it not having to fill 162 games and still play in a league?

Also, I realize you might not have been able to tell during community day, but what about lag? Did they discuss/explain what things were done this year to improve upon this issue? This is the only issue I see with the game and last year I admired their recognition of the issue and attempts to fix it. Anything you can share on what was done for this game would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Knight, are you going to be able to get a copy of the game before it actually comes out, so you can get those rosters done by opening day? Just kidding, that would be nice though.

Re: MLB '11: The Show Community Day Gameplay Q&A

Has the pickoff system been tweaked, especially on full counts where you can pickoff the AI every time.

[aukevin]

More overlays this year? (stats, standings, etc) Thanks

The batter walkup overlays looked nice. I saw a good one showing what a rookie did in AAA last year. I hope they change around a lot in franchise.

Nemesis will have a write up on online.
I'm speaking outside of the actual connectivity here....because that's impossible to tell....but the setup of online leagues is going to be AWESOME this year.

After Nem does his write up...I will tack on something that quite a few of us have been asking for ...for quite some time.

good news for sure.
the splits alone will spice things up.
now just hoping for league leaders coming up as a pop up, not via ticker.
always wondered about the height/weight/age overlay. lol such an odd thing to have pop up.

IMO....it was put in for other stats during the year...they just had nothing for that first game of the year or a players first AB of his career.(they still won't....the minor league stats get wiped upon a level move...so there is no place to "point to" for a stat...I would have loved his minor league totals...you will see it for some new players(SCEA ones)...but it's "built in"
I simply asked them if they could somehow "point to" the player card stat showing his avg/hr/rbi (of the previous year off the card)instead...and Kolbe thinks it's possible. I guess they have to see if it glitches or bugs. They were doing something to it our last day there...you could see the graphic was overwriting ....it was jumbled...so I think they are trying.

nice, variety is good.

the rookie AAA stats would be cool to see if u make a mid season call up, seeing his current numbers that year back down in AAA would be sweet.

shuffling of overlays is key too.
id hate to be able to predict what is gonna pop up.

did u notice any pitcher pop ups?
In 10 there is the KEYS TO THE GAME overlay ive seen 2 times.
both for AJ Burnett, and we are talking 200 plus games.

The load screen stat screen has some cool stuff that would be cool to be moved over to the in game section.

To keep things a little more organized, post all questions in regards to gameplay here...

Thought this cut & paste wil add to this thread for those that share similiar interest.

So let me enlighten you guys with major gameplay questions and some atmosphere/presentation questions

1- Will Full Player on Player Collision take part this year ?
No. I don't think ever.

2- Will Flyouts animation still feel a little magnetic/robotic when under the ball?
You will get to the animation point at a certain time when you get into range.

3- Will wind/mph & direction serve better usage when trying to get underneath a flyball?
This was in.....and it could get dicey.

4- Will both the Jump & Diving one button setting be able to save into your profile?
Don't know. Sorry

5- Do we have 100% full control of baserunner slides, instead of Auto or Assist?
No.

6- Using Analog Controls, Do cutoff throws feel natual?
Did they feel unnatural before? I didn't feel that way. The new analog throwing should be interesting.

7- Have any Sliders Hum/AI/Global been tweaked?
Yes...to what extent...I don't know specifically...but Brian did revisit some sliders.

8- Are there any new Sliders added to the existing ones?
No new sliders....BUT...MANAGER HOOK...SP STAMINA...and RP STAMINA are now also tied into simmed games. You will be able to control the pitching stats and appearances in your franchise as you see fit.

9- What were your favorite Camera Settings. Pitching/Batting & Fielding?
I like Broadcast...EVEN for fielding.

10- Has crowd chants, noise audio been increased for rivalries or playoffs?
We talked about this and we were hoping this would be ramped up more than it is. We've stressed it to them...so we'll see.

11- Do we see the whole outside/Ariels of stadium before game starts or ends?
I don't think so

12- Are there any new fan interactions?
No...but some new cutscenes.

13- After hitting a Homer, are the HR distance markers accurate?
They weren't?....

14- Are there new celebrations for milestones? (WorldSeries, Nohitter Etc)
Not sure....this would take a while to get to(milestone stuff)...but I'm sorry to say W.S. celebration is the same.

15- Has BeanBalling a player been tweaked so the Ump will throw you out quicker?
I don't think this was changed.

And Finally I hope all of you Community Trippers receive free copies of MLB11


I do hope you all had a great time, and a safe trip home. I'm sure you guys must really be in awe by what SCEA has done in the 3 days that you were there. Hope you enjoyed my group of questions as much as I enjoyed reading all of your answers. Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow.

Future Thanks to anyone or everyone that answers:

Re: MLB '11: The Show Community Day Gameplay Q&amp;A

Question is directed to nemesisOS since he got some run in the online gameplay aspect:

When entering a online gm Ranked/Exh, will users be able to see which Gameplay Controller setting (Analog or Classic)their opponent will use before & during online match? Example: I"m playing with analog, I throw 2 errors, or my pitching is less accurate, then decide I want to switch to classic controls midgame, will my opponent know and see onscreen I made the switch.
