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."

I remember in an early interview they stated that you have to block pitches. Click link for proof. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viEK_Goff30 However in the new synopsis of the catcher mode, it was failed to be mentioned. Can anyone help me out?

no blocking pitches manually this year.

-Russell said that early on it was in, but it wasnt right so they scrapped it. Not false advertising, just unable to get it right.

-He stated this just a few posts back from here...

Look at it this way.... how many neat little things do you not find out about till you play the game? I would say its a fair trade

he said it because at the time, while the game was in development, they had all intentions of getting this feature into the game. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned and they had to scrap it for this year.

It was just the tone with which you posted

# 73 YourWifeMyKids @ 02/17/10 11:21 PM

looks good but could get a bit old if you have a rubbish pitcher on the mound, and seeing as the catcher is involved in every pitch does that mean that you play a full game was wondering if you could change it so that you only field e.g. pop fly's at home plate etc? or throw out's at home?

but apart from that a lovely new feature shame i have to get it from a store in aus, because no one stock's it despite being a system selller!

# 74 stiflr @ 02/17/10 11:58 PM

Thought I remembered reading that it will be possible to see every pitch of a RTTS game. Anyone know if this is actually the case? I'd love to be able to have an idea of how a game or situation that I'm placed in develops, regardless of position.

# 75 GimmeAD @ 02/18/10 02:35 AM

So I guess the demo is coming out the day before the game?

Thanks for getting this thread closed...There's a thread with demo topic for a reason!!!

# 77 Qb @ 02/18/10 10:49 AM

Please, no demo speculation. Consider this a friendly informal warning.

Yes I asked this question in The CD questions thread and it was said you now can see the full game play out. This was really the only thing IMO that took away from the stellar RTTS mode. Of course after a few weeks of playing like this I'll go right back to simming till it's my play. LOL

Yeah, I'm hoping the RTP will help that.

If the pitcher shakes you off, there should be an option to tell the batter what he's really going to throw, then watch it get creamed.
