Is that only online or are the quirks offline as well?

They tend to retain nearly all their legends year to year. It’s pretty likely that Wood and Prior are going to be in 20, especially with the emphasis on legends from the 90’s and 2000’s this year.

17:26: Ramone draws the parallel to Barrels (though it's not exactly the same), and says they're seeing around the same batting averages as that contact quality produces.



I'm so happy that they're modeling this in the game.

Also, remember those charts at the end were compiled from predominantly endgame DD hitters (they showed that in a box at the bottom left of one of them) - if anything, perfect-perfect frequency and the hits coming from them is gonna be lower than these numbers when you take normal MLB-talent level players (i.e franchise and other offline play).

I can't say with 100% certainty, but I would be surprised if they were removed.

No specific mention that max speed is x mph, but they kept mentioning 102 as the top level that Chapman, Hicks, and others were hitting.

My understanding is that its for both.

That was user controlled the runner would have made it to second base I think for sure but for some reason who was ever playing sent him back to first.

Now if it was the CPU that did that then I would be upset because MLB The Show 20 CPU will now have more aggressive base runners according to the SDS developer in the first stream today.

We will see how that turns out.

Did they mention anything about more swing and misses? As that was at the route of most of the problems last year. They geared it to try and get realistic batting averages in a game where no one ever struck out, so obviously that meant an awful lot of terrible BABIP.

Great stuff, so interesting to see how they measure everything and compare it to the real MLB stats.

Customizable pci is a very nice touch and the new layout gives you a quick idea of the vision/contact the player has and if its more a contact or a power hitter. Great job.

What I would like to see more of is faul tips in the glove. I think this happens way too little in the game compared to real life.

Oh and last thing, almost every online game I have a hit with my pitcher. Verlander almost went deep twice a few games back. Some of this maybe has to do with the fact people online tend to throw easy fastballs to pitchers and I take advantage but still their succes rate seems a bit off still.

Interesting that the have Coca Cola on the bottle in SF. But, all of the other Coca Cola logos throughout other parks say Cola Cola.
