i thought the video was boring, but in a good way.
let me explain.

baseball is slow.
some even dare say its ....BORING.

that half inning is baseball a lot f the time.
A slow easy sunday afternoon kind of thing.

I like that.

I also like that u can play the game at that pace.

As far as stale, I agree.
The announcers need a makeover.
I have a feeling we wil see changes ones the guys contracts are up.

But the video was fun, in a baseball way.

All of this sounds great! It should really add to the franchise mode.

From Community Day I saw....Game time and temp and skies...the umpire crew...base coaches...pitch count...scorers decisions.....league leaders for many catagories...and Kolbe has just told us that more has been added and from what I was asking at the CD....it is franchise scores.
You also get a box overlay in between innings of the out of town scores....I think it was in between 3/4.......6/7 and then the end of the game.
All of this...I LOVE! DYNAMIC FRANCHISE!!!

This is a good observation that I noticed as well.

I think what happens is that when the ball is hit, the AI determines "the SS is going to catch it", which is the correct call. So the AI is only concerned with the SS getting over there and making the play.

But even though it's the SS's play, the 3B and/or LF should at least run out as well. And in a game that looks so true-to-life, it's kind of jarring to see anything that doesn't look like what you'd see in a broadcast on TV. But still, it's completely an aethetic thing.

As for the debate about stances and correct deliveries, I'm kind of a stickler about that stuff as well, but I think it would be impossible to satisfy everyone in this regard. More important than each stance being perfect, to me at least, is to attempt to individualize every player in the game as much possible, and The Show absolutely does this more than any sports game that I can think of.

The Game looks Beautiful, and the game play looks tight. Well done again Sony Dev., as always.
 
# 85 AJColossal @ 02/25/10 12:53 PM
Cool-- must have missed the LF going out.
 
# 86 Joey @ 02/25/10 12:53 PM
I was just getting ready to post this, myself. You can see him running back, but on the replay shown you can plainly see the LF running towards the foul line.

GREAT looking game!
 
# 88 Mr. Franchise @ 02/25/10 02:04 PM
Something that looked weird to me, was during the RTP when it cuts to the players, it just seems off. Something about it cutting to 3 different players with no sound or commentary. It's probably like this in real life, but it seemed like something from the uncanny valley. Maybe some kind of statistical overlay will help this.

Knight , do the out of town scoreboards update realtime in the ball parks as well ? Or do it just show the final score ?

They have for 2 years now I believe.
I know they did last year.

So is it safe to say that the score ticker will show the same thing as the out of town scoreboards in realtime throughout a game ?

Yep.
The out of town scoreboards update each inning to I believe.
The ticker is the 3rd...6th..and I'm guessing the 9th although at the last inning..you get a pop up box overlay that shows the out of town scores(you get it in game also)

Hmmm, I think that I like the new batting perspective. Can anybody tell me what the rationale was for changing it? I only played the Show 09 as my first MLB The Show game, so I don't know if there was a lot of clamouring for change... it looks to be offset by about a foot to the left.

I knew there was a lot of talk about a new broadcast style camera, but I thought that had more to do with real time events on the field, not so much the behind the batter view.

Any insights?

Watch the video again. The offset is based on the hitter being a right or left handed hitter. When facing a lefty, the view for the right handed hitter will be pretty much a right-eye view. This gives you a better "look" at the ball, while not having to deal with the breaking point of the pitcher throwing that breaking ball from the same side of the delivery as you are standing in the batter's box.

While trying to bat lefty against a lefty pitcher with a gnarballs slider or hook, you get to see that arm slot looking over your own shoulder to the same side of the plate. That is why you'll see guys like Drew or Junior get a night off when they face a Lefty with a low arm slot. Tough to see, and tough to hit.

This camera angle actually replicates this quite well, giving you a bit more reaction time and a better look at the ball.

I have loved this since MVP05...

***update***
The BB guy said no dice to my offer of a Franklin for the Kiosk disk. He alluded to the fact that maybe two of them would get them would get the job done, but for 5 more days, I can wait it out.

The only thing that I have to worry about is how long that inning took ... 10 minutes for a half inning? There are 17 or 18 half innings in a game... that's bordering on a 170/180 minute game. I'm sure it speeds up and you can turn on Quick Play, but it was still pretty long. That was also just 4 batters I think?

I know maybe some people would want the game to have a near 1:1 time from the real thing on TV versus the thing you play... but that particular thing seemed a little long.

The purpose of this video was to show everything no pressing x to speed the game up. That's why it was so long and only 3 outs
 
# 98 stealyerface @ 02/25/10 03:33 PM
I believe that gameplay video was based on no hurry-ups at all. No button pressing through the walk ups and resets...

You'll cut that time in half even with the quick play off. No problem.

Thanks for the explanation Stealyerface... I figured that it shifted left/right, but wasn't sure what the rationale was this time of year. I thought I could tell balls/strikes better in MLB '09 than any game before it (I was a big MVP guy myself), but hopefully this helps a little more.

Aaah, thanks guys, good to know! I usually turn on the "quick play" when I get into the nitty gritty of Franchise anyway.

Game looks absolutely incredible too, thanks for sharing the video with GT.
