MLB '10: The Show OS Exclusive Screenshots (2-2-10)

01:56 PM - February 2, 2010 by Russell_SCEA

Patrick wanted me to show you guys some of his day time lighting upgrades this year. In this pic you can see the cloud cover casting shadows on the ground throughout the park. A little tidbit of information you guys don't know about. When you use the setting "cloudy" its not one set of clouds there are actually 5 total cloud settings and you get one at random. Also as the daytime lapses the clouds will move accordingly.

Another pic showing the clouds and lighting changes and J.Hamilton doesn't look bad either.

More cloud cover variations.

Dirt color in the infield is a little too light too while we're at it. I looked back at the Stadium Feedback Forum and someone did post about the LED boards at GABP...too bad they got left out.

Here was a response in 08 by Chris on a similar situation at first base where the first baseman had his foot on the foul side of the bag.

"Well, there are a couple of things going on here...neither of which is really an "animation glitch."

The first is an issue with Z-buffer sorting...ie, the order in which elements get drawn to the screen. The way we "draw" the game to the screen, we always draw the players over the base, so that when they step on the base their foot does not disappear into the bag...which works for almost every situation.

Where it does not work so well is in a pic like the one of TB vs CLE, where it appears the 1st baseman's foot is behind the bag (on the foul side). From the angle of this shot it appears incorrect, but from another angle, it would appear correct.

The other issue is AI placement in combination with certain animations. While we do have a target where want the 1b to put his foot during a catch, some animations on some players (scaling can be a factor, as well) might not line up perfectly."

Let me add to the chorus. I'd love to see all the stadiums Ramone.

The build I'm taking the pics on are as up to date as you can get.

I lead a parallel life sir. Running a league with 2 other buddies with madeup schedules and fixing stats when in-game issues would pop up.

Thanks for these! Awesome lighting effects, and also the player models look amazing!

No....more likely they just sprayed the infield in that pic.
You can tell by the ring that goes around the stands....
Here is one...much lighter...the infield is dry.

Hi developers, fantastic pictures but are you going to upgrade the score boeard to hi def at great american ball park before the final version? It was upgraded to hi def before opening day 2009.

You obviously didn't read the thread, all the Stadiums are done for 10.

# 154 Knight165 @ 02/02/10 11:17 PM

Well...I gotta say.
Take just about any one part of what has been done for MLB'10 ....the awesome new franchise features...the tons of new animations...the beautiful graphic updates...the online features(did I leave anything out)...and it's a great update...but the sum of parts as a whole..PHENOMENAL.

Thanks Russ for stoking the fire with the pics. Very nice job.
While I love all the graphical updates....I just cannot wait to get into a new franchise. They simply did a great job with this and the waiting is very difficult.
I keep trying to play some games in '09...but I just can't anymore.

That picture is, at least, 3 years old.

I was talking about the first picture of GABP that you posted.

Russell, any chance GABP will be fixed next year? I just wondered why nothing was added considering it was posted in the feedback thread several times and you even mentioned it. I'm not saying GABP looks bad in the game, but it's just not up to date. It seems Wrigley has nearly every minute detail every year, but some stadiums get very little attention. It won't affect me that much, but hopefully you guys can get to it next year.

It's the nature of the beast we can't find everything and fix everything in one year. If it didn't get enough love in your opinion I'm sure next year will be different.

I understand that, but what are the feedback forums for if not for pointing out things to be corrected. It was "found", but not "fixed." That's OK, but I was just pointing it out. I'll post all the changes about 40 times in the feedback thread this year so GABP can get "fixed" like Turner Field and the cow or whatever.

That is how I feel word for word, I was cruising along in my second season then the info for 10 started coming out followed by the pics and it's like why bother with 09, don't get me wrong I absolutely love it, but the new Franchise stuff and graphics are insane!!

March 2nd....
