MLB '10: The Show Hands-On Impressions @ CES w/ Russell_SCEA *Day 2*

[jim416]

Not trying to be smart, but what do you think the developers are doing for the next month? All are working overtime, some sleep in their cubicles in the studio.

with that being said, why is it that every year a lot of the pitching deliveries remain the same and never get fixed? Examples, Brandon Webb, Roy Halladay and Chris Carpenter have had poor deliveries for a while now. Is this the year they get fixed? To me, without accurate looking pitching deliveries the game will not mimic a real-life broadcast.

Do you know how many times I"ve seen you guys argue over batting stances/deliveries (when I was doing rosters) and I would check the batting stances that different people were saying were correct and they DIDN'T EVEN LOOK the same, lo. So much for experts, lol.

Wsu, I'm not going to answer you're question as you seem to have many issues with the game and that's fine, everybody has a gripe, all I'm saying is that people are writing the game off as a finished product...........it's not.

I think most of the work at this point is probably getting in final touches as well as bug-fixing. However at the same time, I think the build at CES is older than, say, January 7th, so there was a time in between that build and right now that they put more things in, including animations and the like. They're probably not yet at that stage, but at least close to it.

So I hope that none of my posts sounded like "It's too late for this year so I'm going to complain," because instead my posts were like "Hopefully there's still some time that I can make some suggestions for them to tweak for this year's version."

Incorrect. In late January last year they had NOT finished layering the grass when we were testing the game. But, I'm done trying to explain, really, lol.

It was a guess, that's all. I didn't say that's the stage that they're on, I'm saying that's part of what they have left to do lol. Believe me, I'm more jealous than anyone else here that you got to go to the community event, so at least you get to show off what you know. I'm just left here to guess.

The "complaints" are suggestions in case they missed anything, like the Target Field animation.

Hell yeah they are still working on...changing and probably adding things to the game WAY into January.
Last year...I believe we went to SCEA in very late January.
They changed a couple of things right then and there.
Some they could...some they couldn't.
