MLB '10: The Show Blog: Catcher Calling the Game

05:06 PM - February 16, 2010 by TN - BRAVES FAN

Playstation.Blog has posted another MLB '10: The Show blog. This one detailing the catcher calling the game.

Quote:


	"Hello again everyone. This is Eddy Cramm, Senior Designer for MLB 10: The Show, and I am here today to talk about the new Catcher Calling the Game feature. Catchy name, huh? Road to the Show, since its inception has been a very well received mode because it gives the gamer a very deep, realistic, and fun alternative to the traditional career mode. The mode allows you to create the guy you want to create, in the position you want him to play. Depending on the position that you choose, you will be asked to do different things in the field that are specific to your position. Last year, as we looked back on our game, there was one position we wanted to improve upon. That was the catcher."

^^^like those ideas bp4..

something else I was thinking of(and this may be in already as I don't play RTTS), but is having to move the catcher to block pitches in the dirt or to snag "wild" pitches.

I remember a review saying this may or may not be in depending on time, but then in a CES video Russell said this was in, but they both came out about the same time so well have to see

I misspoke in that interview we intended for you to block pitches but it was cut from the game before CES. Snaging those wild pitches is still user control but the blocking at least for this year is all based on your blocking attribute.

thanks for clarifying Russell.

Quick question....if I call for a curveball and the pitcher shakes it off the first time and I call it again thus "forcing" the pitcher to throw it, is there any negative effect on the pitcher?

Yeah, if I remember correctly, you would use the analog sticks to do this.

I think it would be cool if one day you had to press a button sequence, to immitate flashing signs, and then as the pitch came in, you would move the analog stick in a dirrection to catch the ball. If you screwed up the button sequence, you could think the ball is staying level and not move the analog stick down (if the pitcher was really throwing a curveball). The ball would get by, symbolizing a cross up of signs

another great idea. I was thinking of the same thing...errr...the crossing up of signs, but couldn't come up with a way of implementing it. I like your idea.

In most cases the catcher is in complete control of the game. The pitcher can shake him off, but if the catcher really wants that pitch he is getting it.

On behalf myself and other like-minded bravo fans, I'd just like to say that I in know way support the 6yr. old-esque pestering that has been taking place this off season.

It really has been relentless, lol. I'd expect something like this from Met fans... but not my fellow ATL fans.
