Does anyone else have trouble hitting here in the late innings in day games...? Seeing the ball in the 7th-9th innings is next to impossible for me. Thoughts?

Re: Wrigley Field
as a Cubs fan, I can say that the shadows do play with hitters in those late innings. however, the shadows in 2k11 are a ...... touch extreme. It's a shadow, not an eclipse.You do what you want in your association, don't let others ruin the fun.

Re: Wrigley Field
Lol. Well we already had Wainright go down for the year, that would just be unfair.
Plus it's highly unlikely both pitchers would have catastrophic injuries, right? I mean, who do we have as our manager, Dusty Baker or something?

Everyone knows that pitchers are 16.7% less likely to be injured when hitting in the 8th spot.Comment

Re: Wrigley Field
Yes, and I think it's ridiculous. I complained about this before and a few people came on and said it was realistic--they liked it that way.
As a person playing a video game that in no way makes me think it's real, I think this shadow thing is way overdone. I just want to have fun, and I want to see dee ball.Comment

Re: Wrigley Field
Agreed. WAY overdone. It's a nice effect to have, but the developers seem to think that baseballs are invisible when they are in a shadow.Comment

Re: Wrigley Field
In general 2K uses bright and contrast to try and simulate lighting conditions that are not translatable to TV. While 2Ks approach may seem overdone at times I think it creates a more realistic simulation of how our eyes actually behave.
I am sure we have all watched a televised skiing event on a sunny, snow covered mountain. While the tv image can convey that it is indeed a sunny day it really doesn't convey the same reality on our eyes as 'being there'. Really skiiing on a sunny, snow covered mountain is almost blinding - so what is a problem for our eyes is not for the tv. Same with bright sun and shadows. These can be immense trouble for eyes to adjust to.Last edited by lnin0; 05-04-2011, 05:41 PM.Comment

Re: Wrigley Field
About ready to make my first trip into Wrigley during franchise. I'll check it out myself, but first thought is that I appreciate the realism 2K put into this aspect of the game. Hitters have always said it is hard to pick up balls in the shadow.Comment

Re: Wrigley Field
I played there the first time about a week ago, after hearing everyone complain, I was curious to see how bad it was. I've played in other parks where shadows were noticeable, but nothing as bad as Wrigley. Unless they fix it, I'm planning on simming any future games there.Comment

Re: Wrigley Field
I think the shadows are fine. The problem with Wrigley is the default hitting camera is very low, so the "batter's eye" on the outfield wall doesn't help much. The pitcher's release point is higher than the outfield wall so the ball blends in with the crowd in the outfield bleachers. What I usually do is just bump the camera height up a bit at Wrigley and that helps, but it makes it a little harder to read pitches that are low in the zone.
Otherwise, I love the default hitting camera in his game, but the dimensions of Wrigley aren't really suited for it because the "batter's eye" on the outfield wall is lower than most other parks.
Switching to the old school camera angle solves this too (I think it's the batter 3 preset maybe, I don't have the game in front of me right now), but I prefer the new camera angle for reading balls and strikes.Last edited by jeffy777; 05-05-2011, 11:40 AM.Comment
