Why would it get scrapped though if it was working properly at CES? Unless it wasn't working properly.

No idea....Ramone can you clarify if MPH displaying on the scorebug was also scrapped from Human vs CPU games with pitch callout OFF??

This is the burning question

Timmy got himself a haircut.

Am I the only one who thinks that picture on the right looks more like Fred Savage?

Great amount of gameplay footage!
Really every hit looked believable.
And I believe they finally fixed the pitch history colours!!!!!

As probably the biggest proponent of this feature (along with 42), I can confirm that it does NOT work. The two are hard coded together, and other than a brief moment at last year's CD, they have always displayed together. It's not too annoying this year with the pitch callout set to simple, but still not what most of us want.

I think FreezeTime may have misunderstood what your question was while at CES. My guess is that it was set to off on the CPU vs. CPU games he saw.

I want this feature so bad, it was literally the first thing I check at every CD, lol. I have an idea for next year that I plan to pitch to the devs that will make both us and the programmer happy.

Of course, if Ramone wants to say "surprise! it now works!" I'd be just as ecstatic as anyone.

Colours, lol. Yep, nice and bright. And distinguishable.

Wow, the MPH displaying on the score bug is a huge deal to some people.. I think that speaks volumes for how good this game is.

Just trying to get a handle on this request...

So, you want the just the pitch speed to show ALL the time regardless of the call out setting?

For example, with call out set to SIMPLE or FULL, you will see CH 82 MPH flash in the score bug, but with OFF you will just see 82MPH?

That's almost it WW. As it stands, when you turn pitch callout OFF, it turns the scorebug pitch info off altogether too... right now it's kind of all or nothing.

People want to see it in the scorebug [CH 82MPH], but nothing in the strike zone, not even the (B) or (K) pitch location marker. It was almost there last year, but I can't remember the other issue it caused.

What's pitch callout?

[thaSLAB]

What's pitch callout?

Its the display on the strikezone that tells you where the pitch crosses the plate. Simple setting is just a blue (B) for balls or red (K) for strikes. Full setting adds pitch type and speed in a small box.

Ahhh, I guess the thinking is that including the pitch type is like having the pitch called out in a fashion, so OFF means nothing at all. Maybe there should be another setting. OFF and FULL will work the way they do now. A new one, let's call it PARTIAL, will work the way SIMPLE does now, and the "new" SIMPLE will work the way you are describing it.

This was not in at CES build and it wasn't going to be in this years game.



However.........................I walk into the office this morning and Br....Woodweaver pulls me into his office and says "is this what they want?" I look at him with the crazy eyes and go yeah that's it. Is it going to break something else? Then another conversation ensued anyway long story short. He made an 12:01 change to satisfy you guys.

It's things like this that prove SCEA is a superior development team.

What can't you guys do?
And this is more than just being able to put something in.... it's going above and beyond what was required/expected for this community (and a minority of consumers).
Well done.
