MLB 11 The Show - "The Little Things"

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

Can I get a list of all the pitchers people have seen with this issue?

Tim Hudson is one to look into if possible but I'm not sure whether it qualifies as just bad arm action or release.

Brown Ivy in April and the "Pigeon Hole" complete with spectators.




But In real life, there are "spotters" behind the bullpen catchers to catch any stray foul balls.....

Just saw a member of the crowd fall onto the field while reaching over attempting to snag a foul ball!

By far the coolest thing I've witnessed thus far. I can't wait until I see the bat fly into the stands.

Well that explains why he ended my 11-game hit streak in RTTS so easily...

Huddy's pitching motion is off. up to the leg kick is right, but when the hand separates from the glove the motion makes him throw more over the top when in real life Huddy is more 3/4's.

Take a good hard look at John Lackeys motion/delivery.....he doesn't really throw like that at all

He's much closer to the Edwin Jackson in game delivery than the uncoordinated looking motions of the Lackey in game delivery

Just saw a comebacker that DID result in an injury. Hit right off the pitcher's throwing arm.

Even with fast-play on, it triggered a scene that showed the pitcher lying on his back in obvious pain, and not really moving the arm that got hit. Catcher and manager both came out to the mound, and soon the pitcher change screen came up.

It doesn't happen as often as most of us would like (especially when getting hit in the head), but it DOES happen.

Not only does it happen but I had a pitcher I just traded for get a head fracture and then he retired at the end of the season. He pitched three games for me.

I could be wrong, but I dont think they are asking for wrong deliveries. I believe they just want us to list who has an unnatural release of the ball like the video showed.
Ervin (SP?) Santana is the only one I noticed this year.

laid a drag bunt with Carlos Gomez down the first baseline. Ryan Howard came off 1st to get it, and Doc Halladay went for it too. Howards seemed to have a play on it, when Doc over ran it and booted it.

Now that would be cool to see. Did you capture a video?

NO!!!!...I did that in the bottom of the 7th, and in the top of the 8th I went to warm up a pitcher in the pen, and it told me I had to replace the pitcher for the other team, so I had to restart my game! I dont know what that was about, but Im going to try and duplicate it and get a video of it.

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

Finally got to play my first game since purchasing the game earlier this week (First time I wasn't a first day buyer because I was out of the country). Anyways, I just got done playing a game between Mariners and the Nationals at the Nationals home stadium:

1) I played as the Nationals and pitched as Strasburg and Campbell mentioned in the first inning that he was surprised to see Strasburg back this quickly after having reconstructive surgery last season.
2) I know SCEA put a lot of work on the new jumbotrons and it shows. Not only does it look nice, but I like how the game keep tracks of time through the day.
3) I remember seeing a thread earlier mentioning how "quiet" the crowd is. I always play with low volume, but the crowd this year had a nice reaction to every pitch and some of the batters at the plate. Smoak received a lot of boos (surprising for a sophomore player, but I guess it's because he was the clean up hitter for the Mariners that game) and every borderline ball called on Strasburg was met with a lot of Jeers. I definitely think it's been improved over last season.
4) It's nice to see that every play where the second basemen has to dive or slide for the ball now no longer results in a webgem play. Kennedy tried the old slide, pop-up-n-throw that would normally be a perfect play in past games, but he airmailed it. I also saw a bobble on Danny Espinosa's part trying to make the same play.
5) I need to get used to analog fielding, Zimmerman did not look like a gold glover because of my careless play.
6) Pre-game warm-up pitches for the starter. Thanks SCEA for including it this year.

I hope to dive into franchise and RTTS once Knight and co. are done with the rosters. I'm sure there's more waiting for me.

I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but the "ribbons" in the Home Run Derby are so beautiful! I love seeing a dynamic, graphical representation of my successful connections. Is this feature available in standard games for all hits??

No. HR derby only
