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

Scott, I personally am not gonna get into it with you about stances.. We beat that horse dead(???????) back in January of last year.

My new aim is for custom rosters online(exhibitions) and in leagues. Bring it home Sony, give me the full package of online play. Let me play as the '54 Dodgers in Ebbets online!

If the camera angles don't improve they might as well call it Home Run Demolition Derby! Because the reviews and feedback for this years "premiere new mode" are going to be a train wreck if things don't change. And yes I understand it's not the final code, just providing my pre-release input which is this: The flight of the ball is very dull with no "wow" factor, different angles should be explored to keep the user involved. After I saw a couple hits, the feeling was immediate (that I won't be spending any time with this mode.) Not that I really cared, I thought HR Derby was gimmicky but I have read many people state they are excited because if it's done right then it can be fun and addicting. Hopefully they can improve it before release.

I only see Batting & Pitching difficulty settings for the USER in the video ? ....How do you select the COM A.I's difficulty ??


Anyone have any thoughts about how it works.....Ramone ??

It is safe to say that not everything is going to be pudding, guys. There are how many players again? I know we expect all our favorites to be perfect but it is not going to happen. This is one team and one year. YES, they have had a couple years to perfect things but honestly this game is going to blow 09 away and I think we should all be content with that. They could definitely and easily change the view of the cam in HR derby if they need to. Not sure if they could show the ball up close and in the stands but.... I think because we expect so much from this game we forget they are only human. Give them a break and be happy that the myriad things of last year's game are being fixed. Would you be happy if we got no collision detection again? That is far more important than some guy's stance imo. I think they have added about as much as humanly possible this year. This is no Madden 09.

I think all Jim (and others) are trying to say is the game is an unfinished product at this point, so let's not line up on the edge of the cliff just yet. This doesn't mean people shouldn't point out areas for improvement constructively, as you never know what could be tweaked prior to release. Let's keep our heads in here.

Shirley this post can't be serious.

The bottom line is you are seeing a guy bat from the front view when you see him on TV, not from the back view like you do with this game. It makes a difference.

this statement would make more sense if it were true. You can see guys bat from the front like you do on TV. So what if guys want to debate over stances and deliveries, it's not hurting anyone. Let them have at it.

You are missing the point but that is cool. I just find it funny how 2 people think they have the perfect stance. True if you have it on outfield cam. I guess, though it might be a little different.
