MLB 11 The Show Video: St. Louis Cardinals vs. Chicago Cubs (Gameplay)

Re: MLB 11 The Show Video: St. Louis Cardinals vs. Chicago Cubs (Gameplay)

Finally finished watching the video and a few things I noticed (Positive/Negative)

Starting with the negatives -
- Karros... then again he's knew so it'll take some time. When he talks it really sounds like he's using a tape recorder and not "talking" to the rest of the crew
- The editing in this video...come on I want some RAW footage
- Is THAT the ticker they were talking about this whole time? Looks the same as last year's

Positives -
- Lighting looks AMAZING
- Player models are realistic along with the new batting stances such as Pena
- New commentary like the one where Pujols gets lined out
- LOVE the new color scheme on the guess pitch and the lineup card and the scoreboard thing on the top


Can't wait to try out the Demo but I need my PS3 asap.. it may feel like '10 but it sure does look BETTER (which was close to it but by maybe 5%)

he has switched his hand placement quite a bit over the years

ps - man there are some really crappy videos of him on youtube, otherwise I'd post you some changes in his stance/hand placement. check out his homer off Lidge in 05 vs any video you can find of him last year. He is way more crouched in 05 and the bat is further behind his ear vs. last year he is still crouched but not as much and the bat is a further out over the plate

His arms have stayed the same, the only thing that he has changed is the bat angle. His arms are no where near what they have been in real life his entire career.

As for the crouching, he's had the same wide stance with the same amount of bending at the knees his entire career also

P.S: All this said, the new stances (Castro, Ramirez, Freese) all look GREAT

Guys, enough with the Pujols scrutiny...

Yeah we are in the 21st century with technology... A company wanting 60 dollars should be able to make an authentic replica of one of the best baseball parks in the universe. Instead, they pushed it aside. At least the camera looks good, Ramirez looks good, and the lighting seems good... other than that my eye doesn't see much of an upgrade from '10.

I told you guys back at the CE on here that some stadiums like Wrigley, would not get it's completed structural changes till next year. That we got some cosmetic fixes like the concrete, etc.

Now people are getting rowdy and making noise? As if this was not expected?

And then some saying the gameplay is the same from this poorly edited video? Get over yourselves, seriously. Your loss then people. This game has taken the biggest leap in the series yet with not only the graphics, but fielding (gameplay).

Good grief.

I'm sorry, but this is something I'm passionate about. Come on, he's the best player in baseball!!! They can't take out 10 minutes for his stance when they can give new stances to guys like Angel Pagan???

Way too much negativity on this thread........ I agree that the commentary is stale, but it was an edited clip of the game. The SHOW is by far and away the best baseball game ever created. In my opinion, it's the best sports game of all time. Be appreciative for the enjoyment it brings people; they can't re-invent the game year after year. The lighting and physics are far improved, lets just hope next year that the commentary falls in line with those improvements.

I'm a little surprised at the negativity about this video. I though it looked great. Can't wait.

That's fine man. Debate away. But please, for those of us that want to talk about the video, could you please start a Pujols thread?

Please?

to be fair, they did change his stance, it just doesn't happen to be as perfect as you want it to be so it's not like the didn't take the time and it's also not like it only takes 10 min.

No offense dude but first it's a stance...2nd it can be patched if they have the time to do so. But just to tell you they did tweak it a little, and it doesn't take 10 minutes most likely 1-2 hours since they have to look around a lot of sources (pictures,videos) and get it right

This, I was pretty impressed with the video personally.

Re: MLB 11 The Show Video: St. Louis Cardinals vs. Chicago Cubs (Gameplay)

man they gotta work on getting the batting stances and swing animations right, one of my biggest pet peeves with the show series is the lack of accuracy when it comes to the players actual stances. Its funny we always end up using different stances for the batters in our edited rosters since we dont think they look right. Although they usually get the big guys right like Pujols, not really bad on his stance, except he swings like every other player.

Makes me look back on MVP baseball, I remember different hitters actually swing different. Was a big deal to me when Ichiro actually lifted his leg semi-correctly and ran towards first, small tough but caught my attention. I thought thats how they would do it after that even when the MVP series died, but sadly no. They even let you chose the angle the breaking balls moved. What happened?

Anyways the game looks great for what it is, a video game.

That video is a little disappointing. Looks like 10 with just better lighting. Looks like they gave us the EA treatment.

the difference here is, it is harder to make a great looking game THAT much better...all they can do is improve on small things and add new tech when it works with everything else.

much different than the "EA Treatment".....they could've started this gen with a Baseball game that was 30fps 720p...then the next year made it 720p 60fps, but stated HEY LOOK WE MADE IT 60fps now....then the next year, HEY LOOK NOW ITS 1080p....then the next year HEY LOOK something else.

there are alot of ways they could've bought themselves time to try to "justify" the yearly cost. What it seems like they did was try to make it the best possible, then take as much feed back every year to make it better...on top of adding things they have wanted add from the previous year.

I'm not saying not to criticize anything, but I hope folks take into consideration (and appreciate) the approach they took with the series, compared to other sports titles. Last thing I want next generation is the higher ups feeling they need to take a different approach because they advanced the game too fast for some fans this gen.

I'm sure every section of the team is slowly reaching what they feel is their overall goal as time goes on. The art folks have improved the game every year to eventually reach their final portrait of how a baseball game should look. I mean you could tell it was still a work in progress last year where the water was dark but the sun was still out for late afternoon games at AT&T park. I'm sure it is fixed this year.

so now with the audio team, I'm sure adding a new person to the mix was hard to do...so it will probably feel awkward here and there this year...but I'm sure the more time they have to work on it, it will have a good flow like the previous years.
