I don't think they actually change the game to think it was the ninth...just to have it end in the 4th if someone was ahead.

Key word there. Don't worry about it.

It means that you are off point from the perfect accuracy point. So if you are throwing towards first you would need to move it perfectly East. Varying degrees from East (up or down) will result in a yellow or red indicator based how far off your input is.

I'll focus on where i am aiming the stick better then. I must be not hitting true east. I was under the assumption that being too far north and south (when throwing to 1st) just caused the errors that were offline. Now that i know that assumption is false, I'll see if i can correct it.

Thank You

Ha, I take it you've had your share of miscues? I managed to avoid another one by correctly canceling a throw... for some reason I hit the R-stick to dive with my 2B, which pre-loaded a throw to 3B after he successfully stretched for the ball. Since it was a slower animation, I had time to realize what I did, cancel, and throw to first.

Yeah, that was probably me.

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

I struck out Moreland on a Lincecum curve that hit the dirt just after the infield grass and bounced to about mid-shin height. I had set him up with two high fastballs and wanted to really bury a curve for the K... well, I buried it alright.

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

Are you paying attention to the color of the outer ring? It's the one that stays on screen the longest after your input.

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

I'm playing LEGEND on both hitting and pitching. I'm using METER and ZONE. I'm pitching really good but I can't hit worth a lick. Besides changing the sliders or diffilculty, do you have any suggestions or tips?

Last year when I played LEGEND, I could hit fine.

Swallow your pride and move down in difficulty. The PCI works differently this year and if your left stick placement is not on point in HOF and Legend you are going to miss more often than not!

LOL! Good point about swallowing my pride. Would it be easier if I just moved to TIMING?

I don't know if this has been mentioned but you can access your bullpen by maxing cpu manager hook, & switching the team you control to cpu & the cpu will make the necessary moves...& switch back to human control.

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

I'm a first time The Show player - can someone explain the difference between "broadcast" style and "real-time?" Other than the fact that replays go away it seemed the same. What is real-time supposed to accomplish?

Generally enjoying the demo!

I do see it but i think its locked in by the time i throw. I understand that red is poor, green is good, etc. I think by default you cannot throw cancel.

I just played three innings without an error so far. I believe i just wasn't going true east on the controls. I am now looking at the controller before i throw and have handled a few chances without problem now.

THIS! It sounds just about everytime you hit the x button. Kind of an airy confirming noise. It is annoying!

i have noticed I have had a few at bats where the noise didnt happen, but 95% of the game it does. weird. wonder why they added it.

That is dramatic, going from left stick aiming to just timing your swing. Try it and see if it is too simplified for you. If you like the left stick aiming drop to All-Star and work your way back up!

All I did was bean a bunch of batters in the first inning with Lincecum and then switched back to Texas, they put in a pinch hitter for Lincecum and before the next inning started I switched back to SF so I could use Cain and Brian Wilson.

If you just keep the score tied I went all the way to the 11th innning before I got board. I got to use Lincecum, Cain, Zito, and Brian Wilson
