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

I don't know that it does...how well have you been hitting? I wish they'd incorporate the contact swing into the mechanic, so if it's a pitch you can do something with you can adjust.

Although having the bunt there is pretty intuitive too

Are you saying there is no contact swing with analog?

Dunno if this has been asked, but what are the fielding options online? thanks

For fans of the World Champs [or anyone else for that matter], is the music that plays when the Giants score in the demo as well as the chant, representative of real life?
if so, thats pretty cool.

I remember reading somewhere that the PC Richards whistle which plays for Yankee K's is in there in a slightly altered form.

What's the deal with balks, are they just off in the demo?

I'm balking my balls off, and I can't make one happen. I want to see quick pitchers suffer this year online so just curious.

(PS, forgive meeeee for not reading this whole thread since I'm sure this has been asked).

You have to turn it on first. Go to game play options. Also I have it on and I still get no balks. Do the CPU Balk?

balks are intended for 2-player games only this year...

turning them on against the computer would give you a disadvantage as the CPU cannot balk (next year... )

Cool I think I will leave that off. Thanks.

No I think he meant he wishes the contact swing could be done on the fly. For example, when you pre-pitch have loaded up a power or normal swing, but when the pitch comes you realize it's something you can't really handle or do much with, but you still want to foul it off with a contact swing.

In real life as a hitter that would happen (a 'defensive' swing that isn't planned before the pitch comes, but happens once you react to the pitch). In the game unfortunately it's not possible.

Yes or no, have the graphics in the demo been compressed?

I have the same question. I have very noticeable jagged lines when I play. The shoe graphics, the edges of the players, lines throughout the stadium, team logos, etc are all jagged. Even the lettering in the pause menu is jagged. It doesn't look anywhere near as smooth as the game play videos online. I'm guessing that for demo purposes, it is compressed so it doesn't take up more space than it already does?

[EnigmaNemesis]

Demo, Older build. Not all the graphical bells and whistles are turned on like in final.

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

I don't know a lot about pitching IRL so i'm trying to figure out where in the pitching meter i'm going wrong. A lot of pitches go too high. I know my pitcher will miss sometimes but my pitches don't go low they go high.

Am i pushing up a bit too early or am i pushing up too hard. I'm also having trouble trying to hit my spots with the RS but that will get better with practice. Its the pitches going high which is my main concern as often my slider has been crushed lol. Always that slider. I am literally afraid of Wilsons slider cause its bad luck.

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

What are you guys doing to hit home runs?!?!

I have yet to hit one in the 5 games I've played.

Most likely you're pressing up too early. Try letting the ball sink just below the line before you begin the upward gesture. I've had the same problem when I got a little impatient and pushed up too early.
