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

[bodhiball]

super small criticism, and something thats bugged me for a bit is the follow through on the swings. One of those old things that has stuck with the game. HOPING that this is one of the additional animations that hasnt been included yet.

thanks for all your work DMB....

I think they're as limited as they can be with the way they can animate some things due to the short arms and such in the player models. Do you mean the back-swing, or their little nuance/routine/rhythm step when up at the plate? If you mean the latter, I completely agree with you, and this has plagued them since MLB 2004. If you mean the former, I also agree (the way the hands go up near the neck looks really off due to the short arm length), but thankfully that's normally after contact so we don't see it as often.

I think we'll have to wait until we get the new player models (hopefully next year) to get the best animations for all of these instances.

Blzer, I mean the backswing. Its such a small thing...but to see a guy like Pujols rip a liner and look like that, just takes me out of the realism for a bit.

one plus...did you guys catch the ball off the shin by Navarro? Nice!

The fielding view is amazing! great work.

Jim, how do you know it's not the final build? I don't doubt you at all. I am just curious how you know that.

This isn't the final build. Thats a fact. There were many glitches still in the game along with missing commentary and signature stances, animated MN sign, etc, etc, etc...
