Re: CES Show questions and or suggestions for me to ask

Yes I did. There are a lot of overlays. I saw the ERA leaders and the Stolen Base leaders in one of the franchise games. I also saw Dan Haren's numbers from his last start that popped up. There are more but I can't remember or post them all.

Would be nice if they could've gotten SB on the player cards, but it looks like they added stuff already so I'm happy.

Alright. Thanks, FreezeTime. Would be nice if they could maybe add a postgame or end of the week show simply with box scores, stats, transactions, who's hot/not, standings, etc. since they wouldn't need footage for that. Definitely something to look forward too in the future.

Were the 16 personalities for the umpire make that build? Are the noticeable?

Also are there any tidbits about RTTS if you played it? Starting as a Top prospect did you notice anything in creating your player..if you got to play in that mode that is.

Not that I noticed.

I did not get to play RTTS. I wanted to but it seemed every time I would try to go to that mode someone would come by wanting to try the game and I couldn't hog the game the whole time.

Re: CES Show questions and or suggestions for me to ask

Is the batter who hit the Home Run at least on screen when the Home Run info drops down from the scorebar? Or is it like how it was in MLB 10 The Show where the next batter is all ready at the plate when the home run info is shown?

Thanks again

From my experience, he is not on the screen. During the next batter it shows up.

Is it just me or does the bill on the baseball caps look a little short in length?

Did a lot of routine throws to 1st still seem to be a little off-target? No big deal or anything I just wish the routine throws hit the chest more instead of the 1st baseman always reaching either way low or high.

I didn't notice that about the hats.

Hmmm, not really looking for that but I can't say either way.

There will always be things like that that will be added or wanted for the next version.

Hey FreezeTime appreciating all the effort!

One question: will we be able to call or ditch the cut-off man after a throw?

Thanks!

Re: CES Show questions and or suggestions for me to ask

If you get a chance to play the game, take notice when you have control of an infielder with the ball and go to step on the bag to make the out. Let me know what you see!

Yeah I did. Pujols stepped on the base with one foot really smooth like in real life. Very cool.

I also got to play in 3-D Simul-View and that was pretty interesting. Others there were watching me play and I would let them use my glasses for a different view and it was cool to listen to their reactions.

I don't really understand the question. I threw home with Torii Hunter when on the warning track and my cut off man got the ball instead so I'm thinking it uses some logic now.

We asked for this before. Please post it in the gameplay questions thread so I remember, if you don't mind.

It is something that has always bothered me.

Hmmm interesting, you threw home without holding L1 button as well?
It kinda makes sense that they went this route to avoid awkward animations where you decide last minute to let the cut-off man interfere.

I think we should have the option for the cut-off man to let the ball go when you see it's a good throw.

I think the best way to implement this is when you want to use the cut-off man you hold the L1 button like you do now but now you hold on the L1 button after the throw and when you think you have a better shot of throwing the guy out without the cut-off intercepting the throw you let go of the L1 button and he lets it go.

Anyone with me here?

Thats what I figured boo

O well hopfully Sony will use my feedback for MLB 13 The Show. I am sure they had good reason for not doing it the way I explained in the wishlists thread. I really think my idea on how they should display the Home Run info box was a good idea. The thing that bugs me the most about this is I really think the player who just hit the Home Run needs to be on screen when the home Run info box pops up and not the next batter due up. I don't even care that much that they are using the same style from MLB 10 The Show where it drops down from the scorebar. But the fact that it does so when the next batter due up is on screen and batting and not the batter who just hit the Home Run bugs me a lot. This is how it was down in MLB 10 The Show then they removed it completely from MLB 11 The Show and now it sounds like instead of creating a new way of showing it Sony just re used the same style from MLB 10 The Show. I really thought with all the new presentations in the game that this was the year that it would be done in the style I was hoping for.


In my opinion there are 2 ways this could be done.

Have a overlay popup when the batter who just hit the home Run is rounding the bases like how 2K does it.

Or the camera could cut to the batter who just hit the Home Run when he is crossing Home Plate and with the Scorebar at the top showing have the drop down bar display the Home Run info there.

The second option could work well since it looks like they now have the scorebar at the top showing with some of the new camera cut scenes of players this year. Like this one of Cliff Lee.


Kind of disappointing news but definitely not a game killer I guess lol

Thanks for the info.

Re: CES Show questions and or suggestions for me to ask

Freezetime did you happen to play a whloe game?

And if so at the end of the game does the Catcher lift or take his Mask off when he high fives the pitcher and his team mates for the victory?

Also how is the replay system this year? Do the replays now show the whole play or are they still cut off before the entire play can finish?
