Is the eight pitch warmup still in this upcoming version of the Show?

Re: Community Day - GAMEPLAY question and answer

Thanks for answering slab. Really appreciate it. I've come up with a couple more questions if you don't mind..

Has the lighting in day games been updated? There were times when balls going through the infield were hard to see in day games in '11. I know they didn't do a major update with this, but was wondering if they fine tuned it a little. (Progressive field was tough to play during the day)

I play this game all year round and like to keep my rosters up to date so I'm wondering if the roster management has been improved any. Specifically I'd like the ability to move players around a little easier and make players free agents as they become free agents IRL, and sign them to teams as they sign IRL. One way around this is to start a franchise where you can release players, but you cannot export the rosters to use for exhibition.

For Hitting, do you have to push up and to the left/right depending on the location. I never did this and I still had a fair amount of success. If this factor plays a bigger role in the amount of success you have, I will probably have to go to timing or zone because for me it is not possible to time the pitch and aim, especially on breaking balls.

I have searched the forums and cannot seem to find if this has been answered. I too like analog hitting but it is too difficult for my thumb to push up AND to the left/right to aim my swing. Is there an option to push straight up only and let the AI determine the PCI placement to the inside/outside?

If not I may be stuck on playing on the lower difficulties as the larger PCI on those levels compensates for "swinging down the middle" on every swing.

As far as I remember, there will only be two options, "Zone Analog" and "Pure Analog", the latter being the same as in MLB11. I don't think there will be a timing-only option for analog... I think it should be added n future though.

Same here, I just can push up and also account for going up and left of up and right. So this will be the same in 12? I hoped they made it just timing only since there is a zone analog hitting option this year for the die hards.

Was there a good mix of ground balls and flies?

Re: Community Day - GAMEPLAY question and answer

I haven't seen it asked, or answered for that matter. Probably because myself and Nemesis or the only two that ever say anything about it year after year. But what about.....dynamic spray charts!? Any chance we see it this year?

No dynamic spray charts in the select screen, they are still static. Still lobbying to get those in one day!

No way to answer this - this is too subjective.

Re: Community Day - GAMEPLAY question and answer

Pared, did you notice any improvement when it came to AI baserunning decisions?

[Pared]

Re: Community Day - GAMEPLAY question and answer

Decisions, yes. But not much - there were still issues I didn't like. I'm hoping it gets the attention it needs next year.

Re: Community Day - GAMEPLAY question and answer

Did you guys use in-game saves at all while you were there? I'm curious if the Confidence meter stays where it was when you last saved; last year when you would restart, the Confidence meter was full for both pitchers.

I do not think anyone had the opportunity to do this.

I read that earlier (perhaps in this thread, in response to h&v?) the confidence are still not saved in 12... hopefully wrong! Does this means we still have hope?

Re: Community Day - GAMEPLAY question and answer

Are the umps consistent with their strike zone from game to game? Say one of the umps has consistently called a strike that barely clips the inside corner a strike, the next time he is behind the plate, will he continue to call that a strike?
