D'oh.

Does anyone know if there will be a bigger penalty for players that have worse control ratings than others when using analog pitching?

For example, I'd love a guy with D control have a harder time for the user to get the analog sticks just right, while a guy like Lee, it should be easier.

Any idea if that's how it's going to work... or will it be purely based off user ability?

The sensitivity in lining up pitches left/right up at the top of the meter is more challenging. With control pitches there is less play and with poor control guys it is a little looser.

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

how do I see the speed and br. ability of a runner on second base? You can see these ratings for runners on first and third in the baserunning windows. Last year you could pause the game to see baserunners speed ratings, but that can no longer be done.

thanks!

Played the demo a few times... love the analog controls for pitching and hitting BUT I hate it for the fielding. Will the classic buttons for fielding be available in future version of The Show? I know you can choose it in this version but if the plan is to eventually faze them out then I better keep practicing my fielding.

Nem, or anyone who knows...

How can i move the pitching meter to where i want and resize it?

At the moment it sits right on top of the batters head from the outfield pitching view!

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

Analog Hitting: Hard. - as per most of the impressions here.. will take some time to get used to...
But I've hit 3 HR's in 3 demo games so far.. not bad i guess!

That being said.. so.. when using the Analog Swinging, you don't have to worry about L-Stick bat on ball. Click L3 after every pitch, and you will see that your batter's PCI will go for the pitch automatically.

I'm not sure about the effect of loading my swing too early or too late just yet. I know in real-life, you want to time it perfectly.. i.e. get your front foot down and then start your swing all in one motion to the ball. What does it mean in this game if you load your swing waaaay early, plant foot, early, and then wait and swing.. or vice-versa, if you're late in the pre-loading swing.

I think this is important becasue each batter has a different 'length' of animation for their 'stride'. Some take longer than others i.e. Hamilton.. so you can't always get started at the same time - with each batter.

Batter Influence: if you hold R2 down and flick R-Stick Up or Down, you can select your Batter Influence as per previous games. except this time you can only select 'R2+Up', or 'R2+down' NOT flick 'R-Stick/Left' or 'R-Stick/R' now.

Analog Fielding/Throwing: I prefer button throwing over analog throwing.

Analog Pitching: I like it.. although I don't like looking at a meter when pitching. never have. That being said, I've noticed that the sweet spot in pitching is when the pitcher has the ball at the lowest point of his windup. I l like to just watch Lincecum's windup and use the 'animation' of where his hand is as my 'push up' point. I'll do that during the actual game as well.. I just like that kind of immersion better

Fielding Cameras: The same as last year, although, It says the 'Broadcast Camera' is pulled wider this year, but it's still not fantastic. It has a 'long lense', 'squished perspective' on some hits. Take a look at the latest 2K11 baseball video on this site: http://www.operationsports.com/news/...orado-rockies/

The fielding/ball-off-the-bat cam is fantastic. Sort of like the Japanese game: Pro-Baseball Spirits that everyone loves on this site: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEjVE...eature=related

I guess I like how in the 2K11 vid, that the ball is always in sight as well as the fielders. On all 3 HR's I've hit in the MLB11 Demo, they were long gone, but the cam was stuck on the 'Medium' cam just looking down at the shadow of the ball. It would be awesome, if the Broadcast cam would look at the ball and the field at the same time as per the 2K11 vid.

cheers.

Is there a way where you don't guess the location while guessing the pitch?

**legend88** · 02-23-2011, 03:41 PM

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

How do you influence a bunt to 3rd or 1st base now? You used to be able to press left or right on the right stick, but now you can only influnce fly ball or ground ball (R2 + RS up or down). It doesn't work with left and right this year.

Just hold R2 + one of the face buttons that correspond with the pitch type you want to guess. Controller will rumble to acknowledge your input.

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.

I mentioned it would be a nuisance at the Community Event.

I'm waiting for it to transpire into a problem so people can call me Nostradamus.

I'm still waiting on my PS3 and can't get the demo. :P

Does anyone know if Wal-Mart or Best Buy has the demo for it yet? I'd love to get some playing time in.

Did you change bunting to classic in the options? Bunting is a separate option this year. You're pressing the right button.
