Community Day - GAMEPLAY question and answer

Re: Community Day - GAMEPLAY questions/concerns/inquiries

What improvements have been made to Analog Pitching and Hitting.

For Pitching, is it more difficult to hit your spots with a back of the rotation starter compared to your ace. And if you make a mistake will the computer capitalize on that mistake or take it.

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.

Head nods for Human Pitchers upon selection of pitch returning would be nice, i know we discussed this before Pared, just wanted to make sure its on your no doubt very long list!

Enjoy the trip

Yep, your pitcher will nod or shake this year as long as the catcher has finished giving his signs.

Pared, would you please check and see if you do an in game save that the pitchers confidence doesnt reset to where it was when your game started...please please please be the same as the point of the save. Thanks!

Any online changes/additions/improvements?

Guys - please keep this thread focused on GAMEPLAY questions.

Thanks!

Ok, so any online GAMEPLAY changes/additions/improvements?

Sorry, but I don't see any place to ask about anything done with online, so was hoping someone would at least ask.....

And for something truly gameplay: Any chance that CPU outfielders actually misplay balls that carrom off outfield walls? They always take 100% perfect angles even on difficult bounces.

If a pitcher is injured on the mound, will the game let you select a pitcher to "warm up as long as he needs" when he comes in? In '11, if you bring in a pitcher off the bench, he'll be cold and won't have that ample time to warm up.

I'm glad you brought this up Blzer, I had forgotten about this.

In addition to Blzer's question, will we see less comebackers hitting pitchers and more pitchers having to leave the game (sometimes as a pre-caution)?

If the pitcher is injured any replacement comes in warm the osd just doesn't show it.

Re: Community Day - GAMEPLAY questions/concerns/inquiries

Will players who have a tendency to hit more doubles (like Robinson Cano) or triples do that this year? Is there an attribute for doubles or triples this year?

Is there the ability to cutoff a throw from outfield to a select base after the ball is thrown?

Re: Community Day - GAMEPLAY questions/concerns/inquiries

Will timing hitting still be available as an option at any difficulty setting?

Re: Community Day - GAMEPLAY questions/concerns/inquiries

Any new cameras this year? Customizable fielding camera?

Re: Community Day - GAMEPLAY questions/concerns/inquiries

Any word on line drives off the rubber that bounce back to the catcher?

I told TaBarnes about this crazy thing that happened to me the other day.

2-2 count to Desmond Jennings. He hits a bomb to center field at Fenway and the baseball icon appears midway up the wall and as my CF gets to the wall, I jump manually and rob the shot. The announcer says "and that one will get out of play" and the count returned to 2-2. Luckily I was able to whiff him with the next pitch, but I have never seen this before.

Are moonshots able to hit the catwalks in tropicana field?

I believe the pitcher issue has been addressed.

Damn it you bastards - it was supposed to be a surprise for Psychobulk.

LOL, sometimes I can't help myself and ruin it at X-mas too.

I'd went and fixed it right after I saw p-bulk's first post a while back...
