MLB 11 The Show Video: St. Louis Cardinals vs. Chicago Cubs (Gameplay)

[Segagendude]

I'm disappointed. Looks exactly like '10, complete with the same commentary.

Don't see how this justifies another $60 from me. Oh well, just one man's opinion.......

That video is a little disappointing. Looks like 10 with just better lighting. Looks like they gave us the EA treatment.

I mean, State Farm cover them in real life, why not do it for your own sponsor in the game SCEA? Wrigley better get some love next year...

I know I didn't even know it was Wrigley.

Spoiler

go play some of the baseball games I played and you would be going crazy over how good this Wrigley's Field looks.

Look at the picture of his in-game stance sideways (it was somewhere on here) to this stance: http://swamigp.files.wordpress.com/2...bertpujols.jpg No where close. You can watch videos of mlb.com too (same goes with all these guys) Holliday doesn't have any leg movement, and his bat is relatively still. Colby has a leg kick and a two-handed follow-through. Berkman's bat somewhat rests on his shoulder. As for Carpenter 1. He doesn't fall off toward 1st base 2. after he goes through his windup, his leg lift is much slower than in-game. Like I said, check mlb.com, your eyes seem to be deceiving you

Im not going to get into a huge long drawn out argument with you about this but if you ask around, you'll see I know a thing or two about stances. first of all, with Pujols, you posted a picture from the side which you can't see in the video because it is the pitcher cam view. Pujols also is known for switching his stance throughout the season, including hand placement so the picture you posted might not be the same model they were using for the game. Berkmans stance while the same as years past is pretty accurate. yes he does rest the bat on his shoulder but his actual hitting position and leg/feet placement are nearly perfect. Rasmus DOES need the 2 handed follow thru as you mentioned but his stance itself is nearly perfect and as for Carpenter, they did seem to tweak his a bit but I do agree on his that they needed to do a bit more work on it but it still isn't as far off as you're implying. Holliday's stance is better than last years I can tell you that. He had the bat wrapped far too far around his head last year and he too is a guy who often adjusts his stance in season. The stance in the video looks a bit more like how he batted for the Rockies because is a bit more straight legged now with the Cardinals but it is a fairly good representation. overall I have really liked what I have seen in the videos as far as updated stances go and again, you won't find a bigger stickler for stances/motions than me. They aren't going to get every one completely accurate and most of that has to do with the time it takes to motion capture, but the fact that they listened to a lot of our community's ideas/complaints from the past games, it is at least a step in the right direction.

Love that when a runner is on base, it shows baserunning ability and speed without having to go into another menu. Nice simple addition that gives you more info.

Yeah we are in the 21st century with technology... A company wanting 60 dollars should be able to make an authentic replica of one of the best baseball parks in the universe. Instead, they pushed it aside. At least the camera looks good, Ramirez looks good, and the lighting seems good... other than that my eye doesn't see much of an upgrade from '10.

I can't tell you how happy I am to see that the outfielders don't press up against the wall any time they get remotely close to it! That's got to be the bane of my MLB-playing existence!

Pujols is known for switching his stance? Are you kidding me? If anything, people talk about how consistent he keeps it. It's still way off how he holds his bat, regardless. I understand you're good with stances but don't call someone out for being flat wrong when they really aren't.
