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

I really hope (pray) this is a early build of the game for the following reasons...

1. Stances are the same as last year
2. Jerry Manuel is not the manager of the Mets anymore LOL

I am cool, but I am a Giants fan and grew up with Atari 2600 so I am just glad they have a real face and body.

I would be in favor of the in game head shots, they look so real in game now that I think it would look really good. I would get wrapped up in the virtual world more because I wouldnt see any "outside" images. It would all be in game and the player pictures would look exactly like the player model. I hope I am explaining myself correctly, lol.

I remember a basketball game back in the PS1 days that had the in game player faces when they showed stats and stuff. I thought it was cool.

if we had the option for both that would be absolutley awesome!!!

Go with that second view.

Wow. This game is looking GORGEOUS.

On Corey Hart's double to the gap in right center, the carom off of the wall looks perfect. I know the physics have been tuned and it shows there. Last year it would have bounced too far off the wall.

Is it just me or is the flight of the ball on pitches a lot better? They look to break a lot more realistically now.

The uniform textures look amazing.

The replay of Hardy grounding out to short looks straight off of Sunday Night Baseball. Look at his swing and follow-through. Looks so life like.

The jumbotrons functioning during replays is going to add so much to this game. Such a seemingly minor thing that will really take this to the next level. I'm also glad that now I can check out the gorgeous jumbotrons in each stadium on replays, at my leisure. Couldn't do that last year!!

Finally...unrelated to the game, this video reminded me what a sick lineup the Brewers have. When Prince Fielder is TIED for 4th on the team in RBI's you know you've got a powerhouse lineup.

Me?
I'm in favor of the generated real player faces. They would look damn good(as they do in game)....and I hate it when the headshots are "mix and match"(half real/half gen)...the hat doesn't kill me...but to get the correct caps on each player would be pretty nice.

On the OF play...I don't know if it's been mentioned....but they redid some logic and animations, so that the OF'ers don't always go to the correct spot for the carom and just wait there. They will set up...but it might be off and they will have to correct now. I believe it's tied into the fielding ratings as well.
It's good to see that.

This is going to change the gameplay a ton!! I know it's been mentioned for INF play in regards to top tier animations reflecting ratings - is this going to be the same for OF play as well? Will only top tier OF get certain diving animations?

Yep. Only the elite OF'ers will get to certain animations(according to their fielding ratings....so as players progress/regress I'm pretty sure this will change)
I was specifically referring to the way the OF'ers will play the ball off the wall though....just to clarify. But both are happening.

Re: MLB 11 The Show Video: Gameplay Footage From Community Event

In regards to Knight's question, I would definitely be in favour of having the option to use generated faces. Any time something is an option that's a positive.

However, perhaps to take it one step further, I think the possible options would be great:

Real pictures: Use real pictures only.
Generated: Use generated pictures only
Real until traded: Use real pictures until a player changes teams, then switch to generated.

So with three options you could satisfy everyone.
Real picture for those who want to keep it as is.
Generated for those who want similar style pictures across the board.
And real until traded, for those who want to keep the player pics as much as possible but also hate when there are incorrect hats on players.

In my opinion that would satisfy everyone.

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

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

Not only are there a TON of camera angles available, but there are also custom cameras in there as well. You guys really need to wait until the game hits, as I think that you'll be quite impressed.

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

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.

Also, push down on the d-pad, and you can step-out of the box, same with stepping-off of the rubber while pitching.
