Re: MLB 11 The Show Demo Q&A, discussion thread

I botched my first double play opportunity... tried to pre-load the 2B's throw before my SS released the ball, then panicked and canceled my throw to 1B by jamming the stick multiple times. Haven't made the same mistake since.

Give it time.

how do you hit with analog controls?

i understand the loading, etc. with the right analog, but do you do anything with the left analog?

Read this as it will give you an overview of the mechanic:

For the people having some difficulty with analog throwing make sure you hold your controller straight. You will find you are not heading in the direction that you thought you were.

I have a quick question about the demo (and game in general); what happened to all the real-time presentation elements? Every clip I watch online is using the cut scenes.

I'm considering (finally) picking up a PS3 and would like to know if the real-time stuff is still in there.

It is not defaulted to that in the settings. I did not check if it could be changed in the demo.

Re: MLB 11 The Show Demo Q&A, discussion thread

Could someone explain the fielding throwing to me- i get overthrows all the time. Like this current game i am playing i have 7 errors and all are balls over the guys head. Since the ball is on line i assume i am not hitting the RS too far away from the intended target.

Thanks

Still waiting for the download here...slow in Canada I guess

Can anyone provide any input on whether or not the umpire's calls on check swings were tweaked this year? I ended up turning them off last year because they seemed to be wrong more often than right...maybe it was just me?

I saw one in one of the video's posted in the other thread and it looked good, but I'm just curious.

Thanks.

It can be changed in the demo. You can change it to Real-time if you want.

I know someone posted about a ball going into the dirt and still being hit, well I just threw a 56 foot breaking ball that bounced before the dirt, and Beltre still hit it for a pop up.

Love to know this as well, I havent had bad throw yet, and I'm actually trying. I'll throw to a base and hold the joystick longer and still get green, shorter the same thing.

Yeah, that was probably me.

And guess who the batter was?
Yes, it was Beltre.

This happened to me in my first game played..so its def an issue that needs to be addressed.

What color is coming up on the accuracy ring? I would assume it is red. Just because the throw is in line but over the players head does not mean you are close in accuracy. Also a throw offline to the left or right of a player does not necessarily mean you were off to the left or right of the accuracy point. The meter determines overall accuracy not necessarily direction of the throw (left, right, high, low). There are behind the scenes calculations going on to determine the overall outcome with the fielders rating being a driving force.
