MLB 11 The Show Video: Gameplay Footage From Community Event

[EnigmaNemesis]

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

I think you were just so used to them being so short all these years.

Glen...some great footage, thankyou for taking the time to put that together and upload it, game looks great, as ever but i do have to mention....you do like to swing at junk dont you? Some of those sliders from Santana were way wide brother! lol Just kidding, thanks once again.

Also, i know Glen (PS Nation) was pressing X all the time to skip scenes to show us more footage which was totally fine, but do the human pitchers nod their head to the catcher this year like the CPU pitchers do (it was in 09 but taken out in 10) when the pitch is selected?

Only the CPU did in this clip but im thinking (hoping) that was because the settings were setup for fast pitching? I always have mine set to slow to take my time etc.

Thanks once again.

agreed. Camera angles could be better. even the replay camera couldn't keep up with the ball hitting the wall.

One of the very, very few complaints I have about this game is the replay angle for long fly balls. The zoom is done in such a way that by the end of the play the ball is below the bottom of the screen. Gotta remember to add this fix to the wishlist for 12.

I'm sure the delay is intentional because that's actually what happens in real broadcasts time to time.

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

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

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


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.

haha, so true. I think the only reason I post so negatively is because I feel I am trying to point out things I would liked to be improved upon.

It's kind of like a coach after a big win talking more about how his special teams could have been better, instead of gloating at how well his offense played, so as not to let his team get complacent.

I don't mean to set a negative tone with my posts. I just feel I am not helping anyone out by stating over and over how good the lighting, player models, stadiums and textures are. These are obvious highlights of the game that have been pointed out numerous times by everyone.

I know I will enjoy the game as much as everyone else.

Im interested to see how someone like Heyward looks in the box. The guy is just massive up close and going by these new models it should be damn cool..

You handled that way to easily, you sure there is not another reason you post in the manner in which you do?

Boy, this isn't a knock on SCEA or their staff, but the guy using the controller reminds me of myself a few years ago. When I switched over to the Show after I had enough of the Xbox, I would swing at every single pitch. Looking at that reminds me of how far I've come.

The game looks great, and I love how they've added the base running attributes to the window. Analog pitching looks really great, but I might not do analog hitting because it just doesn't fit my style. Even if they screw up the Ballpark in Arlington from what I've heard, I'll still get this game.

Ha...that was an invitee to the event.
Proby Glen.
We sent him to wash dishes and shine shoes after that AB.

I would say new controls is the reason for the crappy game playing. Also Knight you should be the expert on washing dishes. . Mr. Fireman.

I noticed Corey Hart's jersey is dirty in the replay of his first at-bat. I don't recall any dives in the dirt while he was playing the field, however, he did have a hit and most likely dove into a base in the bottom half. But the replay would have been of his first at-bat before the dive. Not a huge deal but it is noticeable.

at 2:44 it looks like the #23 numbers on the back of the jersey stretch.

Now, I'm smart enough to realize how ridiculous a nitpick this is, but sewn-on numbers don't really stretch. Especially during routine wear. I have an authentic Brewers jersey in my office (don't ask) and I'm aggressively pulling on both sides of the jersey around the numbers. There is a minuscule ... repeat minuscule ... amount of stretching.

I know how this sounds but it's something that no sports game that I can recall has properly rendered.

Now back to saner posts.
