Re: Behind the Pitcher Cam

Yes, this isn't new. Me, a guy whose controller challenged when it comes to fielding, was even able to field pretty darn well pitching from this view.

Re: Behind the Pitcher Cam

What are you talking about? They've used the view for the last two years, it's been great. There's no reason for it to be taken out of the game, or for somebody to claim the view unplayable.

Don't think ya understand...What I was saying is that in head to head gameplay that is not a playable view in ACTUAL gameplay..Sure you can play it that way but not many people will do that so it ends up just being a demo mode feature with no real use...It would look nice if implemented in some sort of instant replay though..But as for playing the game with that view..It aint gonna happen in a league or head to head.

It looks pretty and slick and all that but its simply just another feature that is more flash than substance.

Re: Behind the Pitcher Cam

but hopefully it will make the game look better not being able to see some of the bad animations.

Have a question about this. I'm not a nitpicker when it comes to the graphics as all the games have some good/bad animations/graphics that people can criticize, if they wish.

I saw nothing wrong with the animations in this game last year. Graphics were pretty bad, especially the faces, but I didn't mind the pause for the DP and some of the other things. They were just repetitive and more was needed to keep the gamers interest over a long season.

OK, that said, what are the "bad animations" you're talking about in this years game. I have 56k and haven't had the time to download the big files to take a look myself. Just what seems wrong with them this year? Thanks.

No, he's right. We just ignore muff now.

J/K man.

Not sure about the pitcher cam from a still.... but hopefully it will make the game look better not being able to see some of the bad animations.

989's title looks very alive, with the CPU batters actually taking practice swings in between pitches.

U can practice swing between pitches, but its manually.
U could do that on the previous version of this game and i saw a POTD on IGN.com that the person playing it did it.

I think its a generic practice swing though.

I never understood why people called it a practice swing. It's not really a practice swing. A practice swing is just a swing... only not when a pitch is coming. It's just called rolling your wrists.

Everybody that I know of pitches in that view, and they would be extremely mad if this view wasn't available. Why do you think there is an entire thread on it?

Also, it's not like this is the only game that has it. MVP and MLB have this also.

If this game did not have this view to pitch from, I would not buy it, plain and simple. I would get another game that has it. It's a camera angle that I love to pitch from, and it can be a game killer to some if there is a camera angle that they do not like (which is why a lot of WSB 2K3 users were annoyed with their lack of camera options).

Re: Behind the Pitcher Cam

This was the best Behind the Pitcher camera i have ever pkayed:

Check it

Check it, i didn't post it here cause it's too big, and some people use 56k.
This was for MVP 2004 but it was not the original one. This was a modified camera, and that was the camera i used when playing MVP 2004.

I can't use Behind the Camera on ESPN 2K4. The angle is bad for me.

Re: Behind the Pitcher Cam

Oh wow. I want a camera like that for ESPN.

How did they modify it? Was it for PC only?

You know what I think the near best camera angle was... the one used oftentimes for batter walkups in ESPN. Unfortunately, it wasn't used for the game itself.
