***Official Community Preview Questions Thread***

[Knight165]

I'll make a list of everything you guys ask for.
I will do my best to get to it and take notes.
I will abide TO THE LETTER of what SCEA tells us we can and cannot discuss.....so this list is of course with a caveat.

I would like it if you.....
FIRST...listed what area it falls under.(for easier sorting)

Gameplay
Graphics
Stats
Mode
Uniforms
Stances/motions
Other(specify)

Please do your best to read through what you can and try not to list multiple requests.

Try and limit the thread to requests(no comments)

At the very least....I'll get them together and then maybe we can hack it up when we get in touch and talk before the event.

If SCEA PM's me that we won't even be able to discuss anything before release....then I'll ask a mod to shut this down.

This event is unprecedented and hopefully a regular thing. We will be abiding by their "wishes"....FULLY.
I hope you guys understand this.

Fire away.

re: ***Official Community Preview Questions Thread***

Gameplay - Last year we were given an explanation of exactly what the differences in difficulty levels were. I'd like to know what sets Legendary apart from the others.

Thanks Knight! I've got others, but I'm pretty sure someone else will ask them.

Other (Sliders):

Are ALL Sliders fully working now, and are they still without numbers?

I am sure Jim is glad you are taking point!

On a more serious note, I thought we were supposed to hold up on this. No?

re: ***Official Community Preview Questions Thread***

Gameplay - Fielding, specifically the delayed throws or soft tosses.

Graphics - There has been "possible" mention of weather (weather appropriate clothing for fans) but is there actually different weather in the game? rain, clouds, cold, etc

Stances/motions - I guess just if they have been re-motion captured and corrected for this release. Did Batting Stance Guy get some good work in. Also, they talk about specific player "emotions" being captured. What does this mean exactly?

Other(specify) - Minor league stadiums. I personally thought they looked like toys last year, wondering if they have been updated, more added, etc. Something to make the minor leagues look more realistic.

Accessories. Small thing, but wondering of any have been added (glasses, eye black, etc) or if we have the option to change the colors of the ones that already were included.

thanks Knight

If we were...I apologize.
I have no knowledge of that. I may have missed something.


Edit...whoops....looks like I missed the part saying it's okay!
...and I have QUITE a few myself nem.....but they are mostly my questions.

Mode - Franchise:

- I am a big franchise guy so I want to know as much as possible about what has been added. There was a post by an SCEA dev in another thread that mentioned depth in logistics. I am wondering if there is more to worry about in areas like travel?

- Are single A teams included in franchise?

Other:

-Are there real spring training stadiums?

Other (Little things)

+ Day/Night - how does it look?
+ Field Wear - how does it look?

+ Players in bullpens/dugouts?
- players reacting to play on the field

Thanks, Matt.

re: ***Official Community Preview Questions Thread***

STATS: Has the career stat tracking been improved or given more depth. Will I be able to see things like walk totals, splits, etc, for each year? also, what about records. Fleshing out the record book would be nice, along with team records.

Gameplay: Have the sliders been given a greater degree of variance? Meaning are the "tweaks" more sensative, allowing for greater control of adjustments. And (as I believe someone mentioned) do they all work now.

Graphics: Is the transitional lighting good for not just dusk to night, but day to dusk? Also, on the rare occassion you're in a marithon type game, does the transition work completely (ie, day-dusk-night)? Also, general impressions on overall enhancements to lighting (particulary the "waxy" look of night games), field wear and tear, cloth physics, etc.

Mode: Knight, you know where I stand on this. as much franchise detail as allowed. Also, RTTS-is the FA aspect improved? Do you have more off-the-field and interaction based options? Can you edit your player as RTTS continues (meaning stance, appearance, uniform #, etc)?

Uniforms: Are the Red Sox new unis accurately represented? Also are some of the uniform issues already mentioned been addressed (ie the Cubs red bill, etc).
The long sleeves at night issue-has it been addressed? What about additional accessories (I know it's been mentioned).

Stances/Deliveries: General impressions of improvements in this area. Also, we know they brought in a guy for batting stances, but what about pitch deliveries? have they been given the same attention? I'd also like to know (if possible) what they mean when they refer to player emotion. Will there be signature events (like Youk looking pissed at...well...everything)?

Stadiums: General impressions of the new ones, of course. Also, have the little discrepancies some of us had been fixed (my example would be the digital scoreboard in the Monster).

That's my short list...lol. I could think of a million questions, but I'm confident you guys have it covered. Thanks and have fun!

re: ***Official Community Preview Questions Thread***

Are the faces of the players the same as last year? Is the player editor the same as last year?

Is Eye Black in the game this year?
Are glasses in the game this year?
Do the Indians have the red bill on the home batting helmet this year?
Are there lock players or can we edit the name of the players that don't belong to the MLB players association this year?
Is Atlanta blue jersey in the game this year?
Is Fireworks in the game this year for the teams that have them for homeruns?
Are Multi teams in the Franchise play this year?
Can we adjust the salaries of the players this year?


Thanks
