MLB '10: The Show Video: Throw Meter Improvements

[idesign2]

I'm still not clear on the branching animation aspect. Does this mean I should press the throw button BEFORE touching the ball? Or does it mean I should continue holding the button throughout the catching and throw sequence? In other words, what exactly is required to trigger the branch animation correctly?

That is a head scratcher, cause when my meter is not full, the throw is more lazy, and when it is red, it is much harder and sharper. And sometimes more offline and the first baseman or other infielder has to stretch or move out of position, depending on the fielder.

Pre-loading your throws allows for the smoothest transition from catch to the throw. If you hold the button throughout the catching sequence the throw will not go off until the player is in the throw ready position. Your throw could end up being more accurate but very late.

I at times feel this way. You gotta wonder if some of the complaints are valid about this game. I do think it has issues in some areas but I have to wonder if it is as bad as some make it out to be.

Again, thanks for the video it really breaks it down for us.

The game is NOT EVEN CLOSE to how bad some are even making it out to be.

Hell, I love this game and play it every day. It's the best baseball game ever made IMO.

Every game has bugs and glitches but not every company fixes them. The fact we have two patches already and people are demanding more is crazy to me.

People act so dang entitled it's not even funny. I am 31 years old and dont remember when or how things got to be this way.
