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."

lol...the Bull Durham feature coming to MLB '11 The Show. Maybe we could also have the pitcher throw and hit the mascot.

I'm hoping to not have to, but I've considered going there instead of all the way up to the other spot if need be.

This is a great thing to add to the game but I'm not sure yet if I want to play a catcher. Instead of 10-15 min RTTS games, it'll be like an hour for each game. With good durability, that's like 150 hours to get through a regular season.

The only compromise I can think of is to do what I do during a full season mode, play the first game in every series. In this case, I'd call the pitches the first game of the series and then turn the option off until the next series. Otherwise, getting through a season would seem long and tedious and getting through a career would likely take years of real life play.

This isn't a complaint by any means, just me voicing my thoughts out loud.

I think what he was getting at, and Mekias reiterated it, that it would take almost as long as actually playing a season to get through.

Sorry, demo thread is closed and I didn't know where else to get some info.

Speaking of the catcher, anyone recall over throwing 2nd on a steal attempt and giving up an extra base happening much to them? It only happened once to me.

I figure with the throwing meter and arm strength really mattering would mean arm accuracy would take a bigger role too.
