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

[bodhiball]

goods and bads...

goods:
• lighting was amazing, and the Wrigley shadows looked great
• some of the batting stances looked awesome.
• ball physics great as always
• saw one new presentation camera angle

bads:
• only saw one new presentation camera angle
• some pitching motions (carpenter in particular) were bad, still the old herkey jerkey ones
• commentary...enough has been said, but somehow it sounds worse
• am I the only one thats amazed the fade to white homerun edit is still in? Why not make homeruns a big deal? Multiple angles and edits like a broadcast.
• Player models to me still seem boxy, big. but they are better.
• The video was horrible. Why put one up that doesnt show ANY of the new features really? No sunset, no rain, no strikeout pitch recap, no presentations or even the batter walkups, no batting view, etc, etc. Seemed like an odd choice since it made the game look pretty much just like '10

Curse you crappy college internet. You can build a new students center, but you won't improve the internet.

Now I have to wait until morning to watch this video.

I have to say, put me in the catagory of "not as impressed as I was hoping to be." I didnt see a ton of change from '10. Maybe the commentary was just flat. I heard some lines that can be heard in 06...still. Overall, not head over heals in love like I want to be. That is discouraging.

On the positive side I loved how Carpenter hit a batter and then they went into the HBP stat from last year. What I want to know is will there be more stuff like that, and more splits this year in Franchise mode.

Right, but muting them isn't the same as taking away one's lines and giving them to someone else. If he's muted, he'll still "talk" but you just can't hear him. There will be no one talking there instead, like if you just wanted Campbell to replace all of Karros's lines or something.

bodhi, great thoughts.
mine exactly, but u said it much more eloquently than me


bad choice to show off the new game, this clip.
I think they should release a clip showing off all the new features to try to sell the game.

During the rundown (5:10 mark), the 3b never takes the ball out of his glove. It just appears in his hand to throw. Sorry for the nitpicking, but fielding is very disappointing.

To me....

Matt and Dave sound to me like they are in an arcade style game. Robotic and slow speaking. We aren't disable for good sake, talk normal, not like you're actually reading off a sheet lol ..and then Karros just sounds too professional for Matt and Dave, like Karros was meant to be. Now granted, he still basically is Rex v.2, but he sounds better and I think he will only get better as SCEA improves this area of the game in the future installments. More fluidness ad naturalness is what this ara of the game needs. Maybe even just a 2 man booth.
