He told me that this was not in 13.

Okay...I guess they couldn't get to it.

I'll still pester someone while I'm there,.....it's my job...

Re: CES questions you have about MLB 13 The Show

I got this question a couple of times and Russell says that it is always been 100% on the user control. He told me that there is a certain window where the user has complete control and then the CPU takes over.

With what button? I've tried all kinds of things to send my runners back and nothing prevents them from standing there, if thats what has been randomly selected to happen.

Maybe this "certain window" needs to be lengthened?

Edit: Not to mention that there is no mention of it anywhere, including the in-game help... there's even an in-game thing that lists every single command for every single situation... nothing about returning on a pickoff.

We can ask about that.
Put it in the franchise thread...I believe that's Brian....I will speak to him.

Re: CES questions you have about MLB 13 The Show

It means just that, you can choose either a two-handed or one-handed follow through.

This is great news!

Re: CES questions you have about MLB 13 The Show

How's the batting AI and/or plate discipline now? Do they actually chase pitches? Strikeouts feel more natural?

Does it seem like CPU fielders dive (and fail) less frequently? If that question is too subjective -- How many hits did you get off of failed dives (in how many games?)

How do hits feel now with the new physics? Bounces (eg: ground rule doubles and stuff)...

Did you see a fair number of wild pitches?

Did you see, from the CPU, or through your own performance, a realistic array of missed pitches and pitch locations - eg: mistakes outside of the zone and realistic strike/ball ratios? Basically, are pitchers overly perfect, or realistically human?

Make sure you ask Russell a bunch of questions about the PSP... like seriously, as many as you can think of!

I played Russell two full games today so didn't get a Chance to try out the CPU. I will try tomorrow.

It's cool. I got some hits I never have before like bloopers barely over shortstops head.

Yes on wildpitches.

I pitched more balls but again I did not play against the CPU so I'll try out tomorrow.

Re: CES questions you have about MLB 13 The Show

lol well done

Will we have different options for assigning secondary positions? (corner infielder/outfielder etc.)

The answer is no.

This is great news!

I'm still a little iffy on this, i seriously doubt you have the ability to choose if you want a one handed or two handed follow through on every stance in the game. I certainly hope so though.

Also, news on new accessories is cool, especially two new eye blacks.

Thanks Freeze.

You played Russell? Who won?

Re: CES questions you have about MLB 13 The Show

rather small sample size, but our experience with MLB12 you should be able to notice if balls hit back to the pitcher have been toned down

A little. There was one that went off my pitchers leg and went into foul territory on the third base side. It was pretty cool.

Re: CES questions you have about MLB 13 The Show

to piggyback off bobhead see if pickoff attempts that go in the stands is toned down again should be able to tell after a few games

Russell says it's same as always and has to do with the situation and player ratings.

Re: CES questions you have about MLB 13 The Show

You mentioned shades on cap (was in last year), do players wear their sunglasses when the sun is out?

Re: CES questions you have about MLB 13 The Show

I was wondering about the exclusion of ballboys ballgirls from the game, these kind of subtle things add so much to the realism, I really don't get why they wouldn't do it or what the hold up is here.

Also please address the weather, will there be any effect to our seasons / postseasons caused by the weather. Will we see double headers and scheduling conflicts. Will we have any kind of dynamic weather

They tried putting it in but it didn't make it. Maybe look for it next year.

The weather and doubleheaders etc are not going to be added anytime soon.

The only thing you are able to control are your individual steps past the automatic lead. So if you don't go past that then you are in the CPU's hands based on player attributes. We have expressed the need for total control with this.

Re: CES questions you have about MLB 13 The Show

Freeze can you please check if Giants SS Brandon Crawford has a new cyberface? It was hard to use him not having the long hair and beard, thanks in advance!

I forgot to check will check tomorrow.

Re: CES questions you have about MLB 13 The Show

this is a must, you have to ask, have there been any impact and collision upgrades from MLB 12. Have they built upon their collision physics, namely with walls (IE Nick Swisher hitting that close RF wall alot in NY), and I have a short youtube video here, to show an example of clear need for the upgrade. I hope they aren't exactly the same/

speaking of the yankees, I've never dealt much with them in franchise mode, When players are traded or signed by NYY do they get the mandatory shave , if not can we edit that for any player that needs it.

No, he doesn't think so. And no about the Yankees shaving facial hair thing.
