Re: Gameplay footage from MLB 11 The Show - Community Event

No the speed of the meter is determined by the pitching motions. When you increase the difficulty level it becomes increasingly harder to hit your spots. There is a random sensitivity slider built into the system. So you can't master going stright down and up to the right or left.

i looked through a few of the threads.... we have an option for both hitting and pitching to either choose the new setup or the old setup right?

other then that love the vid

It might just be me, but the new player models have really enhanced the look of the batting stances and the animations.

One other subtle thing I noticed. On the deep hit off the wall, you can actually see the ball marker on the wall where the ball was going to hit. In past versions the ball marker was always just in front of the fence regardless of if it was going to land right in front of the fence or hit off the wall. Often times i would jump at the fence thinking it was going to be near the top of the fence just to realize that if I hadn't jumped I would have caught the ball on the warning track. Hope this makes sense. Anyways, great subtle addition. Love how the show always notices the small things. Its all these little things that make this game so great.

I was thinking the exact same thing...took the words right out of my mouth.

For batting your options will be: Timing only (all levels now), True Zone, Analog

For Pitching : Meter, Classic, Analog

For Fielding: Classic (buttons), Analog

- Difficulty was set to Veteren
- Miller Park actually looks better than what was in this video ;-)
- Hitting was via analog, the PCI was there to help me with my timing (shrinks if your timing is off etc)
- re: Pitching, the ball moving down the meter is directly proportional to the pitcher motion. You'll see the release line in different spots depending on the pitcher and f he's out of the stretch or not. Trust me, the analog pitching is AWESOME
- re: Fielding, once you get used to pre-loading your throw, you actually have a lot of time to cancel throws etc, it's very good once you get used to it
- All 3 control schemes can be mixed and matched at ease, also the amount of cameras available, and the fact that you can customize the cameras almost infinitely should please just about everyone.

Like Knight said, they were still working on this stuff after we left. The dedication of the MLB team impressed the hell out of me for my entire time there. You just don't see developers taking the time to listen to the gamers like these guys do, and the immense amount of time that Ramone spends with the community is truly awesome. I'll try to put another video together soon, but we're preparing for our live show this weekend, so my free time is rare this week, and each of the videos needs to be approved by the team before I can post any.

Thank God it wasn't the "chubby" Prince!
How'd you guys like that Home/Road splits overlay?
That's the one that we saw rotate with the vsLHP/vsRHP splits

By the way, the "Get Up, Get Up, Get Outta Here" sign at Miller Park works now :-)

PSNation,

How did you find the new analog pitching as opposed to the meter. Easier or Harder to hit your spots? Did you find you were issuing more or fewer walks. I have always found that my walk totals while pitching have always been really low compare to the rest of the league and I try to pitch as realistically as possible. Thanks.

I'd say that the analog is much more consistent, but it does require a lot of concentration. I think that the analog pitching feels the most natural, and honestly, I was pretty worried about it until I started playing with the analog. ow it's the only pitching mechanic that I want to use.
