Community Day - GAMEPLAY question and answer

[LastActionHero]

How about the ability to deceive a hitter by shaking off a pitch? Say you want to throw a FB but the hitter knows it and there was a button to press to shake off that pitch. Just an idea, but I bet it would be an awesome feature to add.

I thought you could shake off a pitch when you play with API on.
I know you can't with the API off and always wondered why...

Only thing is, you shake the pitch off and then don't nod yes to a pitch. It's just a shake and then pitch. So it's like, the catcher calls for a fastball, you shake off and throw a curveball without the catcher giving that sign...

Should we expect changes in difficulty for each difficulty level on 12 or is it similar to 11? I have been pretty much settled in on 11 with Legend Hitting AS classic pitching just a few clicks from default sliderwise. I guess what I am asking is am I going to have to spend the first couple months with slideritis? haha any feedback is appreciated thx in advance.

Difficulty was changed last year, so this is a fantastic question.

For some reason I wanna say that someone on here said only the first 2 difficulty levels would change in '12 the rest would stay the same. Hopefully I'm not making this up.

I'm curious to know if bunting has been improved so we can pull back a bunt when the pitch is clearly a ball and not have the pitch called a strike?

Re: Community Day - GAMEPLAY questions/concerns/inquiries

Heres one for you Pared if you get chance.

Can we get rid of pitchouts being clocked at 99mph etc for virtually all pitchers even those that arent fireballers, and then this speed is mistakenly recorded as a proper pitch and shown in Topps Pitch Speed Comparison when it comes on, obviously this shouldnt happen and isnt realistic.

If you could ask it would be great, but no biggie.

Cheers.

I had a rough time turning double plays last year using analog fielding controls.

Has it gotten any easier in MLB12??

Ah yes, can't believe I didn't ask this question. I suggested in an earlier thread about analog controls that they allow us to use the Skate-like controls to pre-load an entire double play sequence, by pointing the right-analog stick to 12:00 (second base), then rolling it around the rim to 3:00 (first base), just like how you would do a nollie shove-it in Skate.

Did this get included?
