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

great video. thanks for sharing. i love how when there is a strikeout, there seems to be a delay from the camera switching angles.

edit: love the player models, lighting, and avoidance w/o clipping during the double play. love the fact the first baseman threw urgently to second base to start the double play. love the fact that the length of the white flashes has been considerably shortened.

hard to go back to '10 after this. thanks again.

edit2: love the framerate consistency. love the fact that the coach and player actually touched hands. love the quick response of outfielders when at the wall.

The batter should have called timeout while the pitcher took forever to pitch. Instead it went to an unrealistic cut-scene of the umpire being an idiot.

Just curious, is there anything you find enjoyable about this game?

It looks like the Mets' helmets were wrong again. Maybe it's been fixed since the video was made, but that's kind of disappointing.

They were fixed, just not in the build we were playing on.

if words had a tone, it would seem his/her overall goal doesn't seem to be to point out the good things.

Agreed...Now back to the point of this thread....Thanks for posting a vid of some gameplay psnation. I definitely like the new analog pitching. Seems like there should be a lot more walks by the user pitcher this year. I like that. I also love the overlays..Looks really refreshing.

The batter calls a timeout if you've selected your pitch and get set.

The game has always had those silly idle animations in the game and people have raved about them for years.

You seem intent on pointing out every single thing you hate about the game, at times adding the choice line "but I still preordered and can't wait to play it." This gets really annoying. Instead of discussing the game, you decide to chime in only when you hate something.

Perhaps you should word your posts a bit more carefully.

Cool, I was hoping that was the case, I stand corrected!

when you're the batter, what button do you press to step out and call a timeout ?

The one thing that I seemed to notice was that the outfield was a bit more of the expanse that it is in real life.

If I had one comment from last year, it was that the outfielders, even with tier speeds down to 0, seemed to cover a lot more ground than they ought to have in the bigger parks.

It appears that this has been addressed either by slowing the fielders even more, or making the outfields larger... or both.

Either way, this looks like a great step towards making the field a bit more daunting when it comes time to choosing an angle to make the plays.

Love it!

I understand this is a work-in-progress, but did anyone else notice that when Fielder walks up to bat the stats bar shows his height/weight/age over top of his BA/HR/RBI? 4:01

While I didn't talk to Joe directly about it(he's the overlay guy)...so I'm assuming(as I did at the event)...that is in the process of being changed.(I also know you said WIP so you may realize that)....but at the request of econonoodle here on the boards, I specifically asked if the ht/wt/age could be replaced with stats on that initial walk up. Looks like they were getting that in!

The fielder ratings are helping a lot here. Also, outfielders do not get that initial quick jump that they used to get.

Down on the D-Pad.

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

I'm absolutely diggin' the lighting & ballparks fo sho. To me,some the players & umps arms are a little too long imo. It's no big deal, I certainly like the models now as opposed to previous years. Are these models the final version? thanks
cant wait 'til this drops
