MLB 11 The Show Video: Gameplay Footage From Community Event

11:16 PM - January 18, 2011 by PSNation

What you’ll see is around 10 minutes of gameplay at Miller Park (which has actually been changed since this video was shot.) This is as close to direct-feed that we could get, so the quality is a bit less than perfect. Also, the audio was removed completely as all you could hear was us idiots talking in the background. This is NOT FINAL CODE, and was actually changing throughout the week that we were there. Some things to focus on are the updated player models (no more T-Rex) and the analog controls.

(The team has given permission for me to post this video)

I guess that is payback for 2009:

Thanks a lot Ramone!

Besides the greatness I must say when rounding the bases I always touch the inner part of the base with my right food instead of my left.
But maybe that's just me and I'm really nitpicking now

# 246 PhillsPhan26 @ 02/04/11 03:38 PM

Did they (Twins) or did they not wear the 50 year logo last year? Is there a reason they are wearing it again in 11? wouldnt it be 51 years this season?

# 247 Joey @ 02/04/11 04:23 PM

I was always taught to round the base by hitting the inside corner with my left foot like the video. If you hit it with your left foot as you cross your right over, you can keep more of your momentum going towards the next base. By hitting it with your right (unless you took a huge turn) your momentum is going more towards the right of the next base and you have to spend more time and energy correcting yourself.

First I've heard that. I was always taught inside right foot as thats more natural and when using LF you are actually technically making it a longer distance. IMO there no way you get better momentum using LF.

# 249 Joey @ 02/04/11 06:51 PM

See, I think of it as making it a longer distance with your right foot because your momentum carries you further away from the base you are going to next. If I hit the base with my right foot, my next step with my left foot will be farther to my right than my next step with my right would be if I hit it with my left. (Now you can't tell me that didn't make perfect sense!

) My momentum would take longer to correct in the former than the latter.

Using RF automatically makes you closer to next base as your whole body would be left of the base towards next base and you'd have better angle towards next base.
If you use the LF your body has to be further away from the next base as your body at most would be even with the base you're on.

I'd probably fall down if I used the lf to hit bag... lol

Indeed, and hitting it with your left foot is a serious ankle twister waiting to happen! We should find some footage of the pro's

first time watching, WOW, looks Sweet, got to see my Mets too.

# 253 countryboy @ 02/05/11 01:17 PM

From little league to college, I was always taught to hit the inside of the bag with my left foot in order to maintain momentum. You use your left foot, to "push" off the bag and pivot towards the next base.

Actually, you have it backwards.

If you have the rhythmic pattern correctly and go for an inside-the-park home run, fundamentalists will tell you that the left foot hitting first and third base is best for your push and stride, and if you happen to go right foot on second base so be it.

I don't know if the right foot elitists are also the same group of people who choose to run directly at first base before making a random banana peel turn toward the next bag. The instance you have guaranteed yourself first base with an option for second base, you start distancing yourself from the baseline to gain momentum into the next bag. So if I hit a ground ball up the middle, I'll be sprinting right toward the bag to try and beat out a play; if that ball goes through the infielders, I'll widen out for a turn. If I hit a fly ball, I'll instantly widen out from home plate for the best possible momentum. When I hit that bag, it will be with my left foot.

Yeah they are taught both ways. I just could never do the LF. I know if I tried now I'd fall down.
In some ways it does make since as I think I usually for some reason hit 3B with lF but I never did on 1B or 2B.
I could use LF IF I took a wide turn with no problems but I always felt faster taking a more direct approach with lends itself to using my RF as the push off foot.
Different teachings and techniques I guess but now I want to drive to field and try.. lol

Actually despite being taught to touch the base with your left foot for better "planting and force," it really doesn't matter. Your stride is probably more important, as well as your turn.

You don't slow down to stutter step or increase your stride just to get that one specific foot on the left corner of the bag. You judge it as it comes.

Yep since this was bugging me lol I did some searching online and what the most common saying is:
Stride and being the most comfortable is what's important. Whichever foot you are most comfortable using that does not stop momentum should be used. The only thing common everywhere I looked was making sure to hit the inside of the bag.

agreed, but after being taught a certain over x amount of years, it becomes natural to have your stride setup to hit the bag with your left foot.

Again, there's no right or wrong, just different teachings/techniques. I teach my little leaguers to hit the base with their left foot, while a friend of mine teaches them to hit it with their right.

I always liked the left foot as well, but there are times where you'd have to break your stride slightly to hit the base with it.

It's really a situational thing. There are lefties that have a different approach as well because they have a shorter distance to run. Also, everyone's stride is different.

Agreed. And there were times during my days in the sun that I had to break stride, but the one time in a game I tried to keep stride going and hit the bag with my right foot, I stumbled, fell, and was tagged out.

Not a good feeling LOL

Us lefties do everything different.
