    Re: New short gameplay video!!!

    Wow, this game looks GREAT

    The pitching animations don't look stiff as hell anymore. Also, I actually thought I saw a human-like swing.

    Can't wait to see more gameplay vids of this beast.

      If you've ever played outfield past JV Baseball, you would know (especially throwing down the line) that that throw is 7/10, at least.




      Here's that gif anyway:





      But you see my problem with the friction? Though he's 200 - 225 feet away from home plate or so, his ball takes one hop about 80 feet away from the catcher. If that were a real throw, it would probably take three or four bounces (if not begin rolling) and slow down more and more after each hop. But to say that throw "rocketed" is a mistake.
      and the catcher has to move alittle to his left to make the play. Not exactly precisely accurate like all these poeple are saying. Good job Blzer.

        Blzer go get some friends together and make a video of how the cut off is supose to work! lol I still think the throw looks cool. The bounce is the problem. If they fix that the issue would be gone. It is not the fact that they had rocket arms, most pro do. It is the fact they are always online or that the grass is a cray surface. If they fix that this will be much better game. Also keep in mind this is an early built. I am liking what I am saying so far.

          He does? Looks right over the plate to me.

          However, I don't think that's a big deal unless every throw is right on the plate.

            Don't watch the plate; watch the catcher. At that quick instance in the gif, you can see him move to his left a little.

              Key words: a little. Its still right over the plate and a damn near perfect throw. As for the cut-off thing, that sucks as well.

                I dont understand why everybody is ragging the throw being right on line.
                The OF makes the throw in very shallow LF, most MLB OF's can make that throw regularly. I played LF for years and I could make that throw about 70% of the time. I am not bragging at all I am just saying it is not that hard of a throw, and it is even easier when you know there is not going to be a play at the plate.

That is one thing that always drove me crazy with the 2K baseball series. They didn't have the proper cutoff rotation or players backing up where they should at all. Heck, the pitcher covered 2nd and 3rd base in 2K5 on balls hit to the OF. I want to see a game that shows the pitcher headin' to back up 3rd with no one on or a runner on first and headin' to back up home with a runner on 2nd.
                  Does that play require that though? The left-fielder isn't deep enough to require a cutoff man. I think that throw, with the bounce is in line with most outfielders. Also, there's a guy sliding into third, shouldn't thirdbase stay put? I'm not sure about who should be where, but I'm pretty sure the throw is in line. It's definately not a "rocket arm" throw.

                  lol..who's on first?

                  Thanks Blzr for the gif.

                    What exactly does this mean?

                    "At the same time, the game seems to move at a more deliberate pace than the other baseball games we've played this year. Whether this is due to a slower frame rate or just a more measured approach isn't yet clear."

                    To me, frame rate is one thing and game pace, time between pitches, batter walk up etc. is very different.

                        Yes it does. Sometimes the cut isn't because the player can't throw the ball all the way home, but so that other runners (ie: the guy who hit the ball) doesn't round 1B and head to 2B.

                        Ideally the 3B should be the cutoff man and position himself in between the LF and Catcher. The SS covers 3B and the pitcher backs up 3B.

                        On a play like that where the runner rounding 3B stops, the Catcher should yell "CUT", the 3B should cut the ball and stop the player who hit the ball from advancing to 2B. If one wants to be technical, that play requires a cutoff man and the 3B is that player at any higher level of baseball.

                          Yes, but not enough for one to call it an offline throw. The throw is still pretty darn close to being perfect.

                          Like I said though, it was only one instance. If we see 10 different plays like that and all 10 are right to homeplate, then there's a problem IMO. At least 1 should be offline by a few yards.

It seems to me the play is at home. I do see your point about the cutoff man, I'm just not sure the outfielder, not being that deep, needs one to go home. There's a man on second, it's a base hit to left. I'm thinking the play is at home to avoid the score.

                              Quick question? I am at work and can't watch the vid but giving the game the benefit of the doubt, is this clip a user vs. the cpu or cpu vs. cpu. I was just wondering if there was a user, if they incorrectly just threw the ball home instead of throwing to a cut off man? Just asking?

                                I agree...the play is at home. However, the cutoff man should position himself somewhere between home and 3B (closer to 3B) when the throw comes in. That way if the runner rounds 3B and keeps going, the 3B lets the ball go through to home. If the runner rounds 3B and then retreats back to 3B, the 3B can cut the throw and stop the player who hit the ball from going to 2nd and getting into scoring position as well. It should be the catcher's call whether or not the ball is cut as the entire field is in front of the catcher.
