Well MLB The Show is definitely a system seller for me and is the only real reason I have owned the PS3 and now the PS4.

Question.....

SCEA....(I guess Lorne in particular).....are you guys giving Mookie Betts a 0 in golf cart driving?

Now to my serious question.
There is discussion on the forums about the out of position play and animations.
Are guys who playing way out of position going to be absolutely locked out of certain animations...or are they just likely to not be able to access the animations....and are there new "ugly play" animations for them instead?

Thanks if you can answer.

You are saying that the throwing meter has always worked like this?

If you are, all I can say is in '14 the differences were completely imperceptible. I have never seen any difference in The Show between throws from the 3B to 1B while going to the line and a 2B flipping the ball to the 1B from 5 ft away.

OPPs have always been less likely to successfully make certain plays. This year, depending on the situation, they may be locked out of certain animation subsets or have new "ugly play" animations play in their stead.

That is what I am saying in regard to the analog and button accuracy throw meter.

That is a video of 2K11. Our meters are definitely more subtle.

The differences in throw difficulty are most obvious visually in the button accuracy meter. Player attributes, throw distance, type of throw, etc. are all taken into account. The sweet (green) spot grows/shrinks and moves left/right on the meter arc, and the needle speed varies.

Well then it's not accomplishing the intended goal, because the throw I screw up the most by far with button accuaracy, is the double play flip to 2nd to start the double play. As it stands right now, it does not make long or off balance throws tougher than routine throws and flips.
