Re: Gameplay footage from MLB 11 The Show - Community Event

Very nice....didn't expect full gameplay video from the event. Thanks PSNation and SCEA!

You guys probably have no idea how lucky they were to be able to capture this video - this absolutely would not have been possible at this same time last year when I went.

I don't think I'm going to be worrying too much about the throw canceling now - that seems like almost a split-second decision once you see the final circle. Not something I'd even be able to pull off on a regular basis.

Someone's going to ask, so I will - what difficulty level was it on? The pitching meter seemed pretty forgiving except for the times you missed the target badly.

Wow! That's was bada** - thanks for the post. I know this is NOT the final build, but some cool observations.

I'm loving the look of the pitching meter - especially out of the stretch. You hang 'em, they bang 'em! 2 curveballs that you hung were ripped! That really shows how important it is to hit your spots. It also looks as though the computer is more patient at the plate by laying off strikes.

I noticed PCI when you looked at swing feedback - were you hitting via pure zone or analog?

Beat me to it!

Noticed a "We will rock you" scrolling across the electronic banner - that was pretty cool.

Thanks PSNation for taking the video (nice podcast, btw) and SCEA for allowing him to post it.

Unless I'm missing something, it was a chopper, not a smash .. but the SS kind of waited back on it and then went into an animation as if it was a hot smash, it seemed. I could be wrong though?

Wow. Just WOW. Everything looks so much more life-like. The way the players move seems really fluid.

Re: Gameplay footage from MLB 11 The Show - Community Event

Really like how the pitching meter works. Just wondering a few things. What level were you playing on? It seems as though the ball moves down the meter really slowly making it quite easy to hit the optimal spot on the way down. Does the speed of the ball moving down get faster at the higher difficulty levels. I like how the user seems to have alot of control of where the ball is pitched. On the way down it seems to control weather the pitch will miss high or low of the intended target and on the way back up it seems like this determines if you miss inside or outside your target. I like this setup. I would imagine on HOF or Legend being off the mark a little will be very unforgiving which is good. The fielding meter seems like it will work well too. You don't have much time to cancel your throw once you see the accuracy which is awesome since you shouldn't be able to cancel everytime you see a bad throw coming. The player models look fantastic, no more short arming from the pitchers and no more t-rex arms. Fielder looked awesome, you could see his girth but he didn't just look wide like last year. Can't wait to play this game.

No the speed of the meter is determined by the pitching motions. When you increase the difficulty level it becomes increasingly harder to hit your spots. There is a random sensitivity slider built into the system. So you can't master going stright down and up to the right or left.

i looked through a few of the threads.... we have an option for both hitting and pitching to either choose the new setup or the old setup right?

other then that love the vid
