MLB '10: The Show First Look (ESPN)

04:48 AM - December 17, 2009 by manny7788

ESPN Videogames have posted their first look at MLB '10: The Show.

Quote:


	"MLB 09" was one of the best offline sports games of the year. But take the game online and it's virtually unplayable because of the constant lag that throws off the timing of every move, making even little things like check swings seem impossible. "We're fully aware of the complaints," admits Cutliff, "but we've made online playability a priority area for us this year to make sure the timing of everything from the release points to the swings and check swings finally look and feel right. The online game will be going through much more extensive testing than we've ever put it through before."

I really hope they actually worked on the fielding and throwing, which to me is the biggest problem with this game. I havent heard anything yet. I just Hope SCEA knows it's something we have been asking for years..

RTP sounds great. The only cut scene I wish to see would be the one with the tarp being taken off the field and the announcers telling you that youre in a rain delay thats just coming to a close. What say you Russ LOL.

I agree 100%! Alternating interleague schedules, allstar game should rotate to different stadiums, and there should be a one game playoff implemented. And don't forget about 3 or 4 man rotations in the playoffs for the computer manager!

All of the additions in that article look great, and I'm sure that there are MANY more additions to come. But one thing that I have absolutely hated is the roster control outside of franchise mode. It is nearly impossible to trade players on your own. It only lets you trade 1 for 1 . It was a pain last year when I had to release/delete minor league players in trades like Cliff Lee/Ben Fransisco for 4 prospects. Bottom line is they need to change everything about Roster control. It would be GREAT if they fixed this. Otherwise MLB 10 Will be GOLD

WOW..All this, & Russ says they have some SECRETS to reveal? can't imagine man

# 88 JermaineDye05 @ 12/17/09 04:45 PM

Real Time Presentation...

Does that mean that there will no longer be any cut scenes after striking batters out? That we'll be able to watch the strikeout unfold from the pitchers mound??

Please say yes!!!

This is by far the best sports game available, with devs who hands down listen and incorporate community ideas better than ANY OTHER DEV GROUP, and STILL some of you guys rag on them. LLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL.

NOTHING...puts you close than MLB...The Show...NOTHING

You PS3 owners are lucky to have a game company that cares about their product and you know every year that this game is going to be great.

I am just saying that there are certain features that some of they great MLB show players on here have been asking for since 2006 and they still haven't done them...Why? peace!

You make it sound like the game drops tomorrow, we don't even know everything yet, so how can you say the devs haven't put it in?

# 93 tadoreo @ 12/17/09 05:10 PM

They some kind of fact sheet would be released today.... Any News on that?

# 94 Boozers @ 12/17/09 05:18 PM

Reading the article It doesn't sound like u have the option to close retractable roofs just from the fact It was not mentioned. Do you guys think this will be in? Im shocked this option hasn't been in a game yet and to me you need this to make this game as authentic as possible as Its huge part of the presentation.

I also hope that we can use the pitcher cam where your facing the catcher online instead of the generic camera that they have used for years.

I thought It was a good and props to SCEA for putting in the option for 30 team franchise and control injuries via real life like I would but another thing I hope gets included is rain delay's where If a game on the real MLB schedule is rained out you can put where the make up date is and or if no make up date is announced right away you can put It has TBA and put It in later

You know if your going out to San Diego to preview the game like you did last year? You and Knight are the official residential experts of 'MLB The Show' franchise and I really respect you guys opinion when it comes to this game.

Agreed.

Not being a dev and all, I am sure we could answer with some common sense.

I will give it shot.

They do a remarkable job with this game. Adding the thousands of little things etc. The dev cycle is probably 8-10 months. That isn't a whole lot of time. The list of things we ask for is massive, seems almost endless. They have to pick and choose what they can put into the game, with the allotted time, while working on other things they had on the list to make it all seem fresh every year. And whether or not it will take from other areas at the time, and be a smoother implementation. It is called prioritizing.

IMO they are doing a great job adding things with with the time and resources they have. To me they are one of the more talented dev houses. Every year the game much improves. There is not many games out there, especially sports games that can say the same.

First release of the screens made time slow down... learning that everythings realtime and the every other detail literally stopped time for me, now months before the release are going to be killer.
