MLB 11 The Show Hands-On Impressions, CES 2011 (dmbfan1970)

I bet if you had your wish with the LS to control the location you'd hate it. To have to control the location as it moves AND the RS is a nightmare.

In total agreement. It would be way more cumbersome than people think, especially with such a small window to react.

Also thanks for the write up DMB.

Great write up DMB! One question I do have is for online. Can each person have different options set up. For example when playing online could I be using say analog hitting and my opponent be using classic hitting? Or whatever options that are chosen would have to be used by both players. This would be cool especially when playing friends. Last year some of my buddies wanted to use classic pitching and others wanted to use meter pitching. When we set up an online league we had to choose one or the other. Thanks in advance and get some sleep!!!!

I believe you can mix and match any control setting you see fit online and off.

League set up may have certain options to make things level, I will be going over that stuff with Ramone next week, so stay tuned.

Re: DMB day @ CES '11. Hands on.

Thanks very much, man. I can always count on you to do this every year!

So I have a question with the fielding camera you were referring to, the "team specific" one. As I read that, it makes me think you're saying that the camera is stationed at a certain point behind home plate in the stadium, like you would see on TV. At least that's naturally what it sounds like. So first I just want to confirm that's what it means.

Secondly, does that mean that the camera will always be right there, set behind home plate? Or will it be like last year where the view goes down the first or third base lines if the ball is hit to the left or right side?

I don't think the question I asked is too confusing, so if it is I'll clear it up. I just want to know basically if we are getting one broadcast camera this year, not three.

We don't get team specific Fielding camera only hitting and pitching. But it looks like the camera has been adjusted. I was asking for confirmation from DMB.

Team Specific Broadcast cam refers to the Pitching/Hitting camera and where they are positioned when watching a game on TV. So every team will have their exact camera placement in the outfield (when pitching or hitting for those that hit that way) to reflect that positioning of the real life broadcast.

The Broadcast Fielding Camera I believe was getting some work done to tweak it based on last years feedback.

Re: DMB day @ CES '11. Hands on.

Disappointed with only one thing and thats no rain delays.

Re: DMB day @ CES '11. Hands on.

Oh, whoops heh.

Then I'm hoping there's an option to keep it centered in the stadium (like you see it in the replays), that was my biggest complaint. The second one would be the height (too low). Keeping fingers crossed!

[quote=dmbfan1970;2042011628]Feel free to ask me any questions about the game. I won’t be able to help those who want to know about batting gloves, colors, scoreboards, stadiums, walk-ups, stances, nuances, etc, etc because I’m just not that in tune with it. Sure, I love detail but I don’t know how its changed so please don’t ask.


Hi... can you advise what new stat overlays are in place? say you're the pitcher... the opponent batter walks into the batter box... stats appear? things like 0-3 today? batting avg. vs right handers, vs left handers? last at bat made an out on what pitch?

Re: DMB day @ CES '11. Hands on.

Yes, there IS rain. I seen it I do have one small clip of it but don’t know how it turned out. There are no rain delays (next year!).

No rain delays ? did you get a confirmation from Russell or it just that it rained but not enough to stop the game ? was it affecting gameplay in a certain way ? how about grass/dust texture change during and after rain ?

thank you very much for your detailed review !!

Re: DMB day @ CES '11. Hands on.

Oh also, how do you pitch in accordance to height? I noticed you mentioned locating inside and outside, but is there a way to try and aim high or low?

You can consider this confirmed.

Re: DMB day @ CES '11. Hands on.

DMB any chances to online leagues to make them finally fully functional?

From everything that's been said, you aim the same way you always did (pre-pitch). The specific mention of left and right was in regards to how you must now additionally account for that in the meter as well as the aiming before the pitch.


Definitely pumped for the pitching and fielding changes. Still skeptical about the analog hitting, but we'll see.

mmm ok. Thanks. No rain delay then. Does it mean retractable roofs will stay opened ? :wink:
