MLB '10: The Show Video: New Pick-off System

[Mets2004]

i just wish they would add balks into the game, allstar baseball 01, (thanks Blzer for the change) for n64 had balks and was very acurate and deep for its time, makes no sense why a next gen game cant have it

I'm betting this will be looked into next year. Interplay Sports Baseball 2000 for PSX had this (along with fake throws and other cool dynamics), and it was awesome to say the least. But as long as there aren't any motions that would consider to be a balk in this game, it's okay if it's excluded for now.

Oh, and I don't want to get all fancy here, but N64 only had ASB 2001, not 2002 (that was for PS2). They also had NFL QB Club 2001, which had a very fun QB Challenge mode.

well, there technically is no "45 degree" rule. The rule book states the pitcher has to step towards the base he is throwing to. Over time the umpires have been lax in this with the lefty move to first. Almost any time you see a Pettite or just about any lefty for that matter pick a guy off first, it should be called a balk.. thats why these are called balk moves. the best lefties have perfected this move and oftentimes go even past what would be 45 degrees and either are so deceptive, or have gotten the respect of umpires so it isnt called like it should be.

Got rid of Pettite's slider in exchange for a 2-seamer. Good to see that the pitches everyone's got aren't just carbon copied from last year. Be interested to see what other pitch changes they made.
