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

    Russell, have there been tweaks in the Analog Controls between the Demo and the Retail game? I know the Demo is from an earlier production and was wondering if there will be a difference between the two.

      Yes there were!

        Nem, what happened to them cutting down on the OF's being morphed into animation while catching flyballs? I noticed the IF's don't do it as much, but the OF seems untouched.

          They are definitely reduced.
          Not gone...but not untouched.

            I'm an old dog as well and not sure if i'll be able to master this new fangled stick business but i will give it a try once i have the game!
            I wouldn't say it's harder. It's about the same but, and here's the key, if you don't get your PCI lined up with the ball you'll wiff.

            So far it's been spectacular. I've been waiting soo long for this type of hitting in the show. I'm not going to be using analog hitting.

            I wouldn't worry either about striking out more than you may have last year, as was my fear, but my K's seem about the same as 2010.

            Alot of that is do to the fact that we have better camera angles now and I won't be swinging blindly at pitches down or up like last year so I won't K as much on bad pitches, but K's will be made up by the new zone hitting PCI. I hope that makes sense.

            Are the "sounds of the show" tied to rosters this year? I know there was a poll made that showed overwhelmingly the want to have them not connected but I can't seem to find the answer. I apologize for asking here if it was the wrong place.
            I'm pretty sure I've read a few times that they are not tied to rosters but
            I can't find those replies as they're quite buried. It might be in the facts/FAQ stickied on the first page of the Show forums.

            Edit: It's not I just checked but I'm still pretty sure they're not tied to rosters this year.

              The demo is more forgiving then the full version.

                    It was reduced but as I stated in my fielding writeup it still will not be enough for some. There was a lot of talk about this at CD but SCEA feels strongly about bridge animations to the ball. There are quick and long catch animations in the game based on where you are in the field. Obviously the quick catch animations allow more user control closer to ball but this animation is not warranted for every catch scenario.

                    They don't want a situation where you can run full steam to the ball and the fielder put up their glove at the very last second. I still think middle ground can be achieved here allowing user control closer to the catch region and flowing catch animations.

                      Several people have mentioned what their batting average is through all their games... Where exactly do you find out what your batting average is collectively with all your players?

                        Well if you mean by total games, I think it may be a matter of actually tracking the statistics manually. I could be wrong though.

                        But I know, for single game comparisons, if you push select during an AB you can see a collective view of statistics throughout the game. Pitching and Batting.

                          Thanks for the info Chefdad. I like what you say about needing to have the pci lined up correctly as that was a very weak part of last years zone hitting.

                          I don't have the demo but how would you say the demo is more forgiving than the retail game, in what way exactly?

                              I'm not sure if I'm doing it too early or to late but everytime I charge a ball and throw my outfielder goes into this awkward slam on the brakes animation and throws flat footed which never allows me to make an accurate or strong throw to homeplate

                              Can someone please explain to me what I'm doing wrong ?
                              It depends on the fielder and how good he is the better the gloove the bigger the window for branching animations. The worse he gets the less time you have to que up the better animations.


                              As a rule of thumb you want to pre-load your throw for analog and buttons asap.

                                I don't know if anyone has commented on this yet, but there seems to be a huge glitch in batting. At least 10 times (if not more) in a single 4 inning game, the ball went directly through the bat for either a strike out or become some ridiculous ground ball that defies physics. I would watch the replay in slow motion just to see the ball go through the bat. I hope this is just a glitch in the demo and not going to be in the real game. Will this be fixed?
