Simple but frustrating game play issues have been addressed. It's now easier to go the "easy" way with two outs, even the CPU does it now. 3-6-3 double plays are now in the game. Runners at second will take a bigger secondary lead offs allowing them to get better jumps on base hits so they don't get robbed of a run. To counter that we added a wide variety of outfielder crow hop animations. much quicker and stronger looking throws. Upgraded the Throwing Meter so that it truly reflect each players weakest and strongest throw based on his attribute. We have a tighter fielder to runner collisions at second base now when they break up double plays. More slides at all bases including home plate for close plays. New run down logic with better, more responsive change of direction animations. More over the top exciting plays. All new rob HR's, dives, sliding catch plays, tumbles, rolls, over running the bases, getting caught on a pick off leaning the wrong way, base runner line drive reactions,. Not only did we add a ton of game play animations for variety, we added the majority of them to make the game play and feel better. Robbing HR's, diving, picking off runners, stealing bases, hit by pitches, check swings, etc... We have a whole new check swing system, three levels, it not only looks great but it feels just right. When you check your swing early, you get a very small check, all the way up to checking it late, where you held on to the swing for just a bit to long. All new hit by pitch and avoid system for the batters. We captured over 60 animations for hit by pitches alone. The batter can now avoid or get hit by any pitch that comes his way. Based on the situation, the batter will react properly. If there's a runner on third and there's a wild pitch, the batter will step out of the box and either tell the runner to advance by waving him in, or stay put. Ball 4 wild pitch he will take a look and then run down to first in case you want to try and advance him. and much more. We now have independent difficulties for pitching and for hitting. In addition B Ma has tweaked the pitching meter so now its more tuned to your input. (pitcher confidence and pitch confidence is still a major factor as well) However now your timing on the accuracy and velocity of the pitches mean more in the outcome than in did in MLB09.

GREAT STUFF!

Honestly Knight, I believe the question is legit. Being that I'm a Yankee fan I had to go through the framerate problems in yankee stadium in 09. I wonder if they fixed this problem for 10? Do you know anything about this Russell? Thanks

What an awesome list!

Interesting extra's from the list posted on pastapadre.com:

Quote:


	Multi-Branch Fielding – Branch Point Technology goes to a new level as gamers you can now take full control of fielders and break out of any animation in the process. Change a fielding decision and branch out of any animation after the first branch point.

Sweet!

Quote:


	3-Man Booth & Progressive Commentary – Rex Hudler, Matt Vasgersian, and Dave Campbell return to provide the most comprehensive commentary available. Additionally, the game’s Progressive Commentary system changes dialogue by adapting to current actions and situations.

So okey we still get the same 3-man booth but it will have a progressive commentary system. Or was this used in 09 as well?

just awesome this game will be!!!!

but do we need a mic for adding new chants like last year?

# 145 rock85 @ 01/05/10 08:17 AM

Excuse me while i change my pants. I am so ready for this game

	a playoff mode added that would allow users who cannot play full seasons, a chance to play meaningful games by picking all 8 teams to make the playoffs and then playing out the playoffs and WS.

I would love that!

I for one have been asking for this, in the words of the old Brooklyn Dodger fans, "Maybe next yr." But I'm not complaining, what they have done is great, thanks.

Love this game (bought it and the PS3 New Years Day) but I would like to see a playoff mode too.

Those fact highlights have been in previous versions. They get addressed every year though!

# 150 willithome @ 01/05/10 08:48 AM

This game sounds amazing. I just hope they added more stat overlays this year. It was real bland and almost non existant last year. IF they get this right I really don't think there will be any other baseball game to ever beat this!!!

# 151 nemesis04 @ 01/05/10 08:49 AM

"The ground ball friction will provide more realistic bounces and ground balls getting by the corner infielders when hit down either foul line allowing for extra bases when the ball rattles around in the left and right field corners."

This is a huge fix for the game and will really open up the offense for extra base hits. The ball will not die on the grass before going into the corner anymore.

I believe the main goal of the tuning was for pitcher's confidence to be more stable when giving up some early game runs so he could continue to be somewhat effective.

LOL, well I suppose if you volunteered to take half (since what they do is obviously tougher than what you do) your pay next year, they might consider your suggestion. Oh wait, they're not insane...nevermind.

Sounds like we'll be able to set custom sounds for entire stadiums, which is a big plus (and something the other baseball game has had for years). Will we also be able to add custom music for chants and yells? Or will we have to record them like last year? I would guess most gamers didn't have the ability to record their own chants last year, so this feature was kinda wasted. Many of us had sound files with custom chants and yells, however, that mostly went unused.

May have to get into one of those.

# 158 BezO @ 01/05/10 09:38 AM

Can anyone tell me if the throwing meter is turn-offable?

Yes. If you turn on Auto Fielding or Auto Throwing, you'll be all set.

# 160 Jgainsey @ 01/05/10 09:53 AM

Man, I am FLOORED.

Can't wait to try this game out.
