Wasn't it like this in 09, as well? I'm pretty sure it was almost never accurate, for some reason.

Speaking of pitch location indicators being messed up, I noticed that for knuckleballs in 09, the location on the Swing Analysis graphic would be completely different than the location on the on-camera overlay. I wonder if that was fixed this year.

I was under the impression that was a swing location and not a ball location on the pop up graphic.

Vids look great!

Dudes playing the game suck tho....LOL.

Splitter up in the zone with Zambrano? Throwing all breaking ball, no fastballs? Throw to third, never hit cut off man?

Again, I know this is human player. Cant wait til Tuesday.

i don't get it why SCEA still hasn't made some players wearing their batting gloves on bases (ichiro without gloves...)

Re: MLB '10: The Show Videos, Plenty of Them (Franchise Play)

I saw the one you are talking about. It's offline and the ball travels way up in the air to get there, I'd hardly call that a rocket arm.

I did notice one bug tho. If you watch the Met's video, when Santana strikes out the second guy up, he does it with a fastball inside. The Pitch Tracker thing shows it up and in the middle of the plate however. Nothing huge, but pretty obvious it was incorrect.

Ok rocket arm might not be the best term. In any event, do you feel that the outfielder throwing the ball from RF wall to 3B on two hops is realistic?

Depending on the outfielder, yes...

When I had an invite to an MLB team tryout, we had outfield drills. They wanted us to get the ball inside a garbage can laying down a hair in front of home plate on the third base line. We had to do this on at least ONE hop deep in RF.

There were some guys there getting the ball to it with no hop and hitting the backstop fence corner with plenty of juice to spare.

Great find.... the vids are awesome, of course.

I'll say this too: It's good to see I'm not the worst player out there, because whoever was playing in these vids was TERRIBLE, lol.

Well...I have come to the conclusion that I am not a fan of broadcast cam. I have trouble picking up the baseball.

Loving the way the ball ricochets off the wall. Enjoyed watching the fielder chase the baseball around in the outfield as if he was trying to catch a chicken..lol

I was kinda thinking the same thing about not being able to pick up the ball. I'm still going to play several exhibition games from that view to see how much better it is in real life. Worst comes to worst, maybe I'll just use it when batting.

I love the way broadcast cam looks, but I fear I may have the same problem. I may end up using it when I'm batting, but then switch to classic fielding mode when I'm playing defense. It should be noted that a lot of the people who have played the game say it doesn't take long to adjust, however. We'll see.

Re: to those in need of gameplay vids... LOOK HERE!

I am not trying to start anything here, but I don't see a whole lot different from 09. Obviously the graphic overlays and lighting are improved, but other than that I didn't see much that was entirely different. Now I am not some one that cares too much about stances (as long as it's close) and I really don't care about the color combinations on gloves, shoes, underwear, etc.

The commentary is largely the same, and if they include the "get down, get down, get down!" line I will not be very happy. BUT I do like the Show's commentary better than 2k's for the simple reason that less is better IMO. I find the more complex you make it the more obvious and glaring the repititions are.

I am looking forward to the enhancments they made to both the Franchise mode and RTTS though. I found RTTS a little dry in 09 because I like to be immersed in the game and not just play the one little bit you do. I want to feel my contribution to the outcome.

Anyways I am going to buy it as I do like this product.

Re: to those in need of gameplay vids... LOOK HERE!

things I noticed different in these video clips:

*lighting
*pickoff system
*defensive presentation
*friction of the ball bouncing off the wall
*broadcast cam
*ticker at the top of the screen

I'm surprised the guy that put these vids together had RTP turned off. You'd think he would leave that on to show it off a bit.

Re: MLB '10: The Show Videos, Plenty of Them (Franchise Play)

They've already talked about this. If they allowed more of the batter's follow thru, then you would have less control over the fielders due to it cutting to the fielding later. I'll take more control over watching a follow thru.

not me. it was fine in 09 and 08. There was no reason to change this. This totally ruins playing from behind the pitcher camera for me. Just like it did in ASB

Re: to those in need of gameplay vids... LOOK HERE!

Seriously, why does everyone look like they're wearing football shoulder pads? Everyone's got bodybuilder lats or something ... and why are everyone's arms so short?

Actually that aspect of the game looks slightly better to me than last years.

What I did to fix it in 09 was go to Audio/Video, and increase the vertical length of the screen display by about 7 or 8 clicks. One of the best things I ever did in the game.

Suddenly all the figures looked more human (taller, more proportional shoulders) and it didn't mess up my hitting at all, in fact it helped my hitting, probably because the ball appears ever so slightly larger this way so I can see it better.
