***Offical MLB 10: The Show Impression Thread***

[strawberryshortcake]

Three (3) cosmetic concerns/questions:

1. Bullpen Activity (location) - Example; Oakland Athletics (including a few other teams) has their bullpen actually on the field, somewhere. Will we be able to see bullpen activity on the field when the pitcher is warming up while the game is in progress. (Example Bullpen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xm4Vvy4YuIA )

2. Pre-pitch batter animation (stepping out of the batter's box after each pitch): Normally, after each pitch in real life, players usually either step off the plate or completely/partially out of the batter's box before setting up for the next pitch (whether it's a ball or strike, it doesn't matter). Normally, the pitcher will stand on the mound, watching/waiting for the batter to do his trademark nuances and get back into the batter's, before delivering his pitch.

In MLB09, I frequently saw batters immediately set and ready for each pitch through their entire at-bat sequence even before the catcher threw the ball back to the pitcher.

______ players (MLBtheShow10) step out of the box after each pitch.

(A) All
(B) Most
(C) Few
(D) Some

3. Bat boys?

Thanks. Appreciative.

This is the 3rd time you've asked this. Please don't pester.

In describing the bullpens as "active" does that mean pitchers warming up? I ask because I see players in the bullpen on the field in the classic stadiums video. Just wondering.

I recall reading that the bullpen is active on the field but they don't react or interfere with the play. So, they'll warm up but not physically affect the play.

Of course though, showbo would be able to find out officially when he gets to play again.
