MLB '10: The Show Blog: Catcher Calling the Game

[TN - BRAVES FAN]

Playstation.Blog has posted another MLB '10: The Show blog. This one detailing the catcher calling the game.

Quote:

"Hello again everyone. This is Eddy Cramm, Senior Designer for MLB 10: The Show, and I am here today to talk about the new Catcher Calling the Game feature. Catchy name, huh? Road to the Show, since its inception has been a very well received mode because it gives the gamer a very deep, realistic, and fun alternative to the traditional career mode. The mode allows you to create the guy you want to create, in the position you want him to play. Depending on the position that you choose, you will be asked to do different things in the field that are specific to your position. Last year, as we looked back on our game, there was one position we wanted to improve upon. That was the catcher."

Thanks for the post.

The graphics even look better in the minors.

Did SCEA say what 5 minor league stadiums they created this year?

Maybe I'm missing something, but I think this mode will be fun for all of 15 minutes. To call every pitch of every game, but that's your only involvement (+ hitting, of course)? It seems to me your RTTS career would quickly turn into a marathon.

as a catcher you'd field bunts, popups, you'd throw out potential base stealers, as well as be involved in plays at the plate.

being a catcher IRL, each one of my RTTS players has been a catcher since 2007 :P

its finally nice to see a change in the way you play the position in-game
