Re: Official MLB 11 The Show - Q&A Thread

I just learned something about pitching by watching in game tutorial video on pitching.

Somebody watch it and tell me if you understand it like I do now.


You set your location with the left stick, which we already know

but, when you push UP on the right stick to throw, you aim to where you moved the icon with the left stick... Not straight up like I have been doing.


Yes? I mean, I never had an issue pitching but am I understanding the video correctly?

Yes, when you move the ball icon around and then pull the right stick down, on the top of the pitching bar there is a little target icon. As you push the right stick up, you want to aim for the target, not the center of the pitching meter.

Yeah, that is how I understood it. Thanks.

Like I said, I never had issues pitching but now I have to change my thinking.

Those of started your season/chise, what roster are you using?

I downloaded the roster from launch day and began my franchise.

Is it during certain points? Just got a batter out and went to quit and all I had was quit or restart option.

only available in Franchise and Season modes. Not sure about RTTS.

I think the save and quit is separate from the quit option, but it is there. Done it a few times already and nice thing this year time of day remains the same and field wear...only lose replays.

You also lose the pitch count when you look at the pitching analysis. I think its correct in the pause menu but not sure actually. Energy is unaffected.

At least it did the one time I saved

Did the issue in Franchise get fixed regarding buying additional setting? Can you buy seats and raise the attendance at all?

Re: Official MLB 11 The Show - Q&A Thread

When you push up on it, you push up and left or up and right on the angles for inside or outside pitches, and just up for down the middle.

Thanks. I am assuming you mean diagonally.

Re: Official MLB 11 The Show - Q&A Thread

no profile stats have been removed completely this year.

I was afraid of this. Now why did they have to go about taking out something cool like that from the game???

Anyway, thanks for your response.

Re: Official MLB 11 The Show - Q&A Thread

I figured out the timing with analog hitting, but how can I change the location of my swing? ATM it's completely random if I swing high or low.

[idrisguitar]

Re: Official MLB 11 The Show - Q&A Thread

high low (PCI's vertical position) is determined by:

first the timing of you step,
then the timing of your swing,
and lastly by the players stats.

if you get perfect timing on all fronts you should get a decent hit, if you get perfect timing on all-fronts with someone like pujols, you should get a homerun. (if you are swinging at a good pitch of course.)

Re: Official MLB 11 The Show - Q&A Thread

Odd question, but what exactly does changing pitching difficulty level change?

Does it change only how easy it is to manipulate the analog pitching meter and hit your spots, or does it also impact how well the CPU hitters hit?

Re: Official MLB 11 The Show - Q&A Thread

Quick question about the game.
I have 2010 but I am in year 2032 of my franchise and love it how all the players are fictional. And you cant transfer franchise files.

I remember knight saying a while back that he could possible make a whole roster file with just fictional players in mlb the show 11. Is there any way of doing that???

Yes...It will take time...but it absolutely can be done right out of the gate.
You would have to export all the different potential players you want...an A/B/C/D/F pitcher and the same for position players...
Now you would simply go into ROSTER MANAGEMENT on any roster(default it fine)...and go to each player that is real and import a pitcher over a pitcher and position player over position player.
You'll also have to move the FA's onto teams and do the same for them.
The caveat...you'd have to rename the guys you are importing and randomize them as you bring them in(so you don't keep seeing the same guy with the same ratings.
If you got a few guys together to create a bunch of fake players....and swapped/shared them with each other..it would cut the work down considerably and really make it random.
DEFINITELY could(and should! I love fictional leagues!...no pre-conceived notions!) be done.
Start a thread...just don't use and Create-A-Players(Jeter head and classic player morphing)...and I'm sure you'll get guys to upload fake players of all sorts.
