Re: IGN MEDIA THREAD!
Pretty sure that this build is perposley missing things and that the team just wanted them to be able to see a couple of things. There is no way that that is what we will be getting in the final version.Comment

Re: IGN MEDIA THREAD!
On the play with the thirdbaseman throwing to first, the outfielders charge in to cover third. Just look at the LF and what he does for the entire play.
The fact that the pitcher caught the return throw is perfect strategy as the pitcher went to third to cover in case the runner on 2nd jumped.
Yes, I'd like to see the thirdbaseman there too but it's possible that the thirdbaseman was out of the return play after he made the throw.
That play was done right, though i will agree that the thirdbaseman should have been moving toward 3B to cover it."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

There were two cutoff men on that throw from RF. That didn't happen in 2007.

No actually it's the SS's responsibility to cover third in that situation. Pitcher will be there to back up and rotate when there is a rundown between 3rd and 2nd or 3rd and home.Comment

I'm going off memory so I may be wrong.

Re: IGN MEDIA THREAD!
Just checked and yes the shortstop does run to cover thirdbase but the pitcher gets there first and fields the throw."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.

Re: IGN MEDIA THREAD!
Not sure which video you mean. The one I saw had the pitcher covering third when the first baseman threw it there trying to get out the guy running from 2B. After the 5-3 out, the thirdbaseman stood there and didnt go back to the bag to cover when the guy from 2B took off. So instead the pitcher ran over and covered. Normally the SS would be there if the third baseman couldnt cover. Rotation is counterclockwise when covering and backing up bases.Comment

The pitcher just happens to get there first and that's why he fields the throw from 1B."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.

Re: IGN MEDIA THREAD!
Ya I mean after Brinkman said that this game was going to be pretty much GODLY it just doesn't add up that there would still be so many glaring bugs and misshappenings and lack of really anything we asked for still in this NEW version of the game. There has definitely gotta be a finish copy sitting in the office with everything fixed cutscenes and presentation of homer celebration bug fixes etc. It wouldn't make sense otherwise.
So instead of trying to justify some logical explanation to keep your hopes alive.... just wait & see the next set of videos. Now that these first movies hit, there should be lots more coming next week. But if you continue to be disappointed by what you see, then just get "The Show".Comment
