Absolutely beautiful, no less than i expected.

Add in the RTP and Broady Cam and this thing is going to be something else in motion.

Kudos to SCEA - you have done it again

Re: MLB '10: The Show Video: Dodgers at Phillies Gameplay

The batting stance argument is worn out. Tim I suggest sending a PM to Chris and breaking down to him all the players you want changed and how. These other guys baiting you bring absolutely nothing to the conversation and frankly, just need to be ignored.

Would be neat to have a community member go out there(on their own dime) and do the mo-cap work. It would at least be appreciated by some of us!

I think the guy who complains the loudest, most often, and most rudely should win this "honor". I'm sure it would be very educational for him, and the results would be hilarious! I wouldn't be able to wait to hear the feedback here about his efforts....

Re: MLB '10: The Show Video: Dodgers at Phillies Gameplay

They have an in game ticker in this game!! That's enough right there for me LOL I'm still blown away over that.

Where physically is the ticker? Does it only show when the game is paused? What does it show, scores of other games in franchise mode? What about season mode?

Thanks!

Re: MLB '10: The Show Video: Dodgers at Phillies Gameplay

Okay I'll chime in...

One of the things that I really loved about the MVP series was the fact that the offset angle of the batting camera really made the lefty/righty matchup something that actually meant something. Forget the stats, forget the splits on who hits which pitcher, the straight-on camera from the catcher's mask did nothing to make it any tougher to "see" the ball and hit the button to swing at it.

This video showed the reason that, in the late innings, one might pinch hit that right handed batter to face the lefty, so that the person playing the game uses the righty/lefty advantage for themselves, as well as the stats as dictated by the virtual player in the batter's box. The camera angle now looks more like the view from the umpires mask, as he sits over the opposite shoulder of the catcher. I love it.

The throw from Rollins showed off some of the new physics and possibly a bit of the player ratings playing a part in the throw. Jimmy nails the landing and makes the stop, but that throw, unless you are Ken Caminiti, is going to be tough to get some power behind with a foot planted behind you, and from one knee. I was glad to see that the throw was just not a step late, it was 2 1/2 steps late. As it should be.

Love the broadcast view on defense, if just for a fleeting second or two. Especially like the replay where the camera zooms in on the play made in foul territory and shows a close up of the third baseman making the play. Very similar to a TV presentation shot, and I get the impression the fellas in the broadcast truck are switching the camera shots for the replay angles... awesome.

****Cannot wait for this game...

Tried to bribe a BB employee to give up the Kiosk Disc for $100... He said he would let me know....

Very very cool video! As a longtime Phillies fan, seeing how gorgeous Citizens Bank Park looks this year in the game, it makes me even more excited for release day. Graphics definitely were overhauled.

I do have one question if anyone would happen to know...

Was the gameplay video played in 1080p or 720p? If it is in 720p which is what I have, then amazing job! Thanks.

Good thing they've got Halladay's delivery right to a T this time and also Manny's!! In 09 they were both off a little off but not by much but in 10 you can defenitely tell it's dead on accurate. Man, Tuesday here I come and cant wait to see what else has improved and changed.

The ticker drops down from the linescore when it wants to relay the info.
It will stay static if the info fits...it will scroll when it is more info.
From Community Day I saw....Game time and temp and skies...the umpire crew...base coaches...pitch count...scorers decisions.....league leaders for many catagories...and Kolbe has just told us that more has been added and from what I was asking at the CD....it is franchise scores.
You also get a box overlay in between innings of the out of town scores....I think it was in between 3/4.......6/7 and then the end of the game.
All of this...I LOVE! DYNAMIC FRANCHISE!!!

Re: MLB '10: The Show Video: Dodgers at Phillies Gameplay

Nice video!, but it's time for a change. The game is getting stale and old now with the same anouncers. I've been hearing the same lines over and over. And that baby crying in the background is still there!!.ughh

i thought the video was boring, but in a good way.
let me explain.

baseball is slow.
some even dare say its ....BORING.

that half inning is baseball a lot f the time.
A slow easy sunday afternoon kind of thing.

I like that.

I also like that u can play the game at that pace.

As far as stale, I agree.
The announcers need a makeover.
I have a feeling we wil see changes ones the guys contracts are up.

But the video was fun, in a baseball way.

All of this sounds great! It should really add to the franchise mode.

Re: Exclusive Dodgers at Phillies Gameplay (Gametrailers)

On the Furcal popup...kinda strange that the 3B and LF don't run after it. They just stand there and the SS runs over it. It's his ball, yes, but normally there would be 3 people running after that.

This is a good observation that I noticed as well.

I think what happens is that when the ball is hit, the AI determines "the SS is going to catch it", which is the correct call. So the AI is only concerned with the SS getting over there and making the play.

But even though it's the SS's play, the 3B and/or LF should at least run out as well. And in a game that looks so true-to-life, it's kind of jarring to see anything that doesn't look like what you'd see in a broadcast on TV. But still, it's completely an aethetic thing.

As for the debate about stances and correct deliveries, I'm kind of a stickler about that stuff as well, but I think it would be impossible to satisfy everyone in this regard. More important than each stance being perfect, to me at least, is to attempt to individualize every player in the game as much possible, and The Show absolutely does this more than any sports game that I can think of.

The only guy that doesn't move is the 3rd baseman, the LF is running towards the foul line in an attempt too assist, watch it again you will see it, as Rollins is throwing the ball to the 2nd baseman, pause it 4:22 and you will see the LF retreating back to his zone.

Re: MLB '10: The Show Video: Dodgers at Phillies Gameplay

The Game looks Beautiful, and the game play looks tight. Well done again Sony Dev., as always.

[AJColossal]

Cool-- must have missed the LF going out.

[Joey]

Re: Exclusive Dodgers at Phillies Gameplay (Gametrailers)

I was just getting ready to post this, myself. You can see him running back, but on the replay shown you can plainly see the LF running towards the foul line.

Re: MLB '10: The Show Video: Dodgers at Phillies Gameplay

Did anyone notice on the first out the fielder was running toward the rail in foul territory, made the catch, and he pushed of the railing. That looks great the fielder knew where he was on the field and the animation was smooth. Looks great!
