Don't know if this has been mentioned. When you make a trade, the details come on the screen in game and the guys talk about the trade.

Re: MLB 11 The Show - "The Little Things"

I had a bomb to centerfield by Cabrera get robbed by Adam Jones. Afterwards it showed Cabrera throw his helmet agaisnt the wall of the dugout (pulled out some scotch), and then Martinez started going crazy trying to calm him down.

Hadn't seen that one before. It was funny because the whole dugout looked terrified and started scrambling. He wasn't even wasted. I dont get it

Re: MLB 11 The Show - "The Little Things"

While pitching my best game so far and my team leading 3-0 in the 8th, an opposing player (forget who, lol) hit what was initially called a game-tying 3 run homerun down the right field line. To my jubilant and hopeful surprise, the umpires conferred, reviewed the video and overturned the homerun call....WOOOT!!!

I ended up striking out this batter to end the inning and went on to complete my first shut out.

Love seeing this kind of thing

Re: MLB 11 The Show - "The Little Things"

I apologize in advance if this isn't the place for questions.... However, where you in franchise when this happened? If so, did the pitcher come back in the game? If not, was he injured for an extended amount of time once the game ended?

No, this was in RttS and he did not stay in the game. They immediately took him out.

Re: MLB 11 The Show - "The Little Things"

Had my very first homerun review the other night! First time outta all the games played last year, I finally got one with '11. Very cool to see. Umpires got together to discuss, then shown walking towards the dugout, cut to them walking from the dugout with the head umpire signalling the homerun sign. Awesome! Nice touch. Later

Had the same thing happen last night in my rtts. I was bummed ...... had a HR for a second and had it taken away by review.

Re: MLB 11 The Show - "The Little Things"

the foul line is chalk on the infield dirt, but is painted on the outfield grass

so it makes sense that the chalk would get messed up by rain, but it would be less likely to wash the paint off the grass

IMO this was done intentionally, and is even more realistic

Good point

i didnt see the espn ticker?where is it?

It is at bottom of screen. It only shows up in certain modes. It is disabled during Spring Training in Franchise.

Re: MLB 11 The Show - "The Little Things"

Hit the ball over a guys head in RTTS. Never happened to me.

Home runs seem like they have a tendency to sneak out this year. I hit one on a line and I thought it was just gonna be a double. Cleared the fence by like 2 feet.

Re: MLB 11 The Show - "The Little Things"

I was just playing a random RTTS last night. Dudes name was Joe Random but i had audio of my name. My first at bat i take it to 2-2 then hit a home run. The commentators went on to say how an infielder on the corners needs power these days. I was playing 3rd base.

it sucked to hit a home run in my first at bat in a random RTTS. I think it is time to make a real one lol

It is really cool to see all the real out of town scoreboards. Really blown away how every stadiums seem to have a lot of their real specific.

Re: MLB 11 The Show - "The Little Things"

Not really sure which thread I should put this in but I think "The Little Things" thread probably qualifies as the best bet...

Re: MLB 11 The Show - "The Little Things"

I hit the pitcher in the leg and they showed a cutscene of him walking it off and talking to the catcher who was checking if he was alright. Matt V. talked about how he might have to leave the game and that he looked in pain. Last year, they just showed the replay in Show Motion and Rex saying that he was gonna stay in the game and that he was a gamer. This year, it was much improved and it looked like he was actually struggling to walk.

Re: MLB 11 The Show - "The Little Things"

A lot of nice little touches in the show this year. A thing dropped down saying we wish you all a Happy Earth Day from the Show!

They sometimes talk about a pitchers last outing and show the stats.

On one of the promos talking about the next day's pitching matchup, they said a little something about Zambrano which I thought was cool, and it was funny because they said how he would possibly bring fear to a near by water cooler.

Re: MLB 11 The Show - "The Little Things"

^^^That is me without auto baserunning lol. That was a good animation of him rolling around on the ground.

[thaSLAB]

Playing an exhibition game vs. Tampa and Sean Rodriguez hit a dart to LF and Karros said "he really stung that one... speaking of stinging..." and went into a story about he had actually been stung by a sting ray in real life.

I really like that you can tell the difference between fielders... and how players actually boot balls, or knock them down and smother them. Good stuff.

Re: MLB 11 The Show: "The Little Things" Thread

A nice little reference for Cub fans.......

After you win a home game in franchise mode, sometimes either Matt or Soup will say " Hey Chicago, what do you say, the Cubs are goinna win today"

Cub fans will know what I am talking about.

Beautiful. Was just going to post this (it was Soup for me) when I heard it for the first time - hey, I've had my struggles in the first week...lol!

Made even better by the fact that I have Go Cubs Go set up to play after a Cubs win at Wrigley (and it plays WAY longer this year).
