Re: Hands-on at Gamespot

2 things jumped out at me while reading this thread...

The quote about the pitching meter--"let go too late and it will go in the dirt, let go too early and it will go high"--sounds way too much like the fielders throwing meter and I am calling this one a mix up.

They are right about this being part of the pitching.

And the quote about the hitters eye being used as a cursor to hit...I am gonna call that one as pure bs.

They're wrong about this.

They're wrong about this.

What about left and right in the strike zone? I know you can throw too high and too low, but what about left and right????

Controlled by your gesture.

Plus I noticed when reading the article that it is most likely the 360 build since they refered to the buttons as A and B and X and Y. Weird since it is under the PS3 games on the top...THis is a good indication that both the PS3 and 360 versions will be the same.

Seriously I dont 2K is even making sense with the direction this year. They spend lord knows how many hours designing this new card system instead of rebuilding the franchise mode or expanding the commentary or improving the audio or working on other small details. Who here wouldn't take any of those things over the trading cards. Instead of listening to what the end user wants they are telling us what we want and thats a design for failure my friends.

They TOTALLY revamped Pitching, fielding, hitting and throwing. The added 90 minor league teams and 15 stadiums. In addition they greatly increased signature styles for pitching, batting and player walkups.

They did ALL that to improve the CORE gameplay....yet you don't understand their direction because they added trading cards and didn't rework the Franchise mode? Thats a failure of design? Puuulease! All that stuff is important..but if the gameplay is lacking (which is was last year) and not improved - the rest of that stuff don't matter. I'd say their priorities are in the right direction thank you.

Re: Hands-on at Gamespot

Like last year, is the erratic pitching location, when the pitcher gets nervous in a tight situation, still in the game?

Re: Hands-on at Gamespot

is there an option to remove the ball icon while pitching?

[ehh]

Re: Hands-on at Gamespot

Maybe it's my monitor but the lighting seems different in those pics. I played tons of games at Fenway w. the Yanks and it looks different in those pics from 2K7.

Yes, PLEASE! And that's not a ball icon: that's a giant yellow frisbee.

Hopefully you're wrong and they are right as this is the way it should be.

Sadly Trev, it's not that way, according to Kushgamer. I had my hopes up, and now they're dashed again. I can't take this emotional rollercoaster.

??? He says right in his last post that they were correct in saying this is how it works. It was the batting comment that he said was incorrect.

They are right about this being part of the pitching.

Re: Hands-on at Gamespot

Not trying to start any "meatball" controversy but in the picture with Becket it says the last pitch was a meatball, the score is 1-0 in the 1st and the (new) batter has a 0-0 count. Looks like the meatball was taken yard.
