Considering all the other years it was for real life baseball games. I assume the same for this year.

I guess we have to wait for more info to see if there is an in-game ticker for season/franchise games.

The best just keeps getting better. Can't wait.

I'm all about the updated presentation aspects of the game, so I am excited for March!

I'll pop in the game and start "editing" right away...I love tweaking batting stances, releases, etc....

I only hope that they really perfected the algorithms, and that for things like deeper fly balls they have a system where the camera may slightly zoom out to get both the ball and the fielder in the same shot, and close in on them as the ball begins to fall. I hope it's not just tied to the fielder per se, or the "shadow" of the ball (the ground directly below its path). It would also be nice to see what no-doubter home runs look like in this view, as in how the camera tracks the ball. It should be exciting, and a breath of fresh air for the series that has had the same camera angle for over six years now.

Warning watch out for misspelled words!

Blzer, LOL...

This would be a welcomed addition.
I agree 100% This would add to the real feeling of connecting with one!

In all the time I was playing ball I don't ever remember following the shadow of the ball I hit as it cleared the fence.

I would love to see this in 10...

Sweet... I think.

What are the "consequences" of auto throwing? Is it just the throwing power that's automated or does the AI throw for me automatically? And if it's just the throwing power, does the AI pick appropriate throwing power?

I wish they would have an option similar to throwing passes in Madden where I control the power but don't have to concentrate on a meter.

I feel like I'm one of the few that are distracted by meters. I'd rather watch the action.

Amazon almost always, at least in my experience, will use the last available day of the month a game is supposed to be released. They may not know the game is released on the 2nd/3rd yet, or SCEA may not have yet announced an actual release date.

Hugh Laurie approves this post.

Yes, I want to get some video and show examples of how this will hopefully result in some good looking footage to show to others.

Hopefully presentation-wise we can turn off a bunch of aids again this year (including the throwing meter), because I want to make this look as much like a live broadcast as possible. I remember in ESPN MLB 2K5 we could turn off the cursor under our player... now that was awesome! It really made it look nice, because the less video game stuff, the more real it looks.

# 191 swaldo @ 01/05/10 01:22 PM

According to Pasta Padre's info there will be less pitches to choose from this year. RIP...

Curveball (re-named 10-4 curve)
Sweeping Curveball
Running Fastball
Vulcan Change
Euphus

Bummer they would take these pitches away. I like to create junkball pitchers and the more options the better.

YESSSS!!!

# 195 Chef Matt @ 01/05/10 01:48 PM

Ok guys I have a question now as I think about this and try to absorb all the wonderful news.

In RTTS one of my biggest pet peaves is not being able to play the entire game at your position wether or not your involved in the play. I realize that it speeds things up but I'd relly like the option to play a full game when some of the big match-ups come around.

So with the info released it says we have the option to "watch" all parts of the game (or something like that) but the key word is "watch". Would that be "watch as in spectate off to the side, or "watch" as in seeing the action from your respected position? Wether or not the play is to you, you still need to back up players, cover bases, etc.. Hope that makes sense.

Thats wrong we didn't take any pitches away

I have no idea where he gets his information from but it seems to be terribly wrong when it comes to The Show.

I think I remember from the ESPN preview that you can choose to play your position the whole game, regardless of whether the ball is coming to you. If that's true, then I assume you would have to back up plays get in position for a cut off throw, etc.

# 199 BravesBoy @ 01/05/10 01:55 PM

Will mound visit have more of a positive/negative effect this year..like the ability to raise confidence/lower or if the pitcher wants to leave or try to battle thru?..be funny if there's a cut scene where the pitcher gets pissed cuz he gets takin out...

That is promising news. It's the little things you know? I'd really like to be more submersed in the experience.

I'm amazed they don't have some cutscenes like that in there already! LOL
