I like what I´m seeing out of these videos...a lot at that!

However, I also am not a big fan of the pulsating circle and its size, but I think I know why it is THAT big (correct me if I´m wrong):

If I remeber correctly, you´re supposed to press the pitch button when the circle is at its smallest size in order to get the highest possible accuracy. The size of the circle varies from pitcher to pitcher and their ability. Therefor a bigger sized circle just gives more variety where the pitch will actually be located in comparison to where it was intended to be located.

And that is actually a very good thing imo !

...Oh god, I hope so much that I am right ...!

Being a classic pitch guy since mlb06, ill give it a shot at pulse pitching, sounds interesting enough for me, just about the amount of user input im willing to use(like classic pitching).

Hi Ramone, first of all: I already love this game and can't wait to get a copy. The new cut scenes alone make this game a must-buy for any serious baseball fan and gamer!

I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but when the in-game overlays pop up, it says for example: "CHASE UTLEY ... 2010: .259 AVG 11 HR 44 RBI". Shouldn't it be "2011"?

I will stick with the pitching meter as always. The pulse pitching meter looks distracting, not to mention makes the game look like an arcade game.

At least with whatever this diamond dynasty mode is the developers did not rush it into 11 and are making sure they release it when they feel it will be more beneficial to the customers. Unlike another sports company that released their new mode bare bones with no options.

This was an extremely early build (intended to show off other areas).....they obviously won't leave 2010 on the game once it's ready for launch.

Really looking forward to the Broadcast presentation. This part of the game has become stale over the last couple of years.
 
# 147 EnigmaNemesis @ 01/12/12 03:48 PM
One thing to keep in mind. Most of the presentations go in near end of development. This is still an early build with already noticeable changes.

Exciting!

i dont like how the pulse is animated either.

i do kind of like the concept of having YOU involved with the timing to achieve pitch accuracy pitch after pitch, and the concept of the easiness to make the good timing or the difficulty of it, due to factors like pitcher talent and / or confidence / fatigue etc are fine and understandable. just would rather see something else designed. any ergonomic or interface designers ?

Over 50% of it is in the builds I took with me to CES.

It's not an extremely early build but those bugs will be ironed out before launch. I'm not sure if we have had our big stats update yet.

nice.
the new batter walk up OSD looked sweet and classy.

hoping to see some more stat love in future vids.

one thing i dont like is the sudden cuts from the between pitch scenes going back to real time.
i thought it was going to be just camera cuts cutting away to what the guy was actually doing.

Nice!

Can't wait to see all the other additions.

Will there be a toggle for actually being able to use the Analog Zone Hitting, but for the yellow see-through icon depicting it to be non-visible?

I love the idea of the Tru-Zone hitting, but I am not sure I am thrilled with having to look at it. Can we shut the visual aspect of it off?

Thanks,

I think this option has been allowed since the inception of the PCI.

Have to say it again: the new cutscenes make this great game much, much better!

Where everyone always has a mile long wishlist SCEA goes improving a part of the game that not many had on their list but will be such a gamechanger in the end.

Awesome stuff!
Does using the 'power swing' embark more energy on the ball? A power swing on a 95mph fastball hit squarely should jump off the bat further than the same batter with same power swing jumping on a 88mph offspeed pitch eh?

When Russel was talking about the upgraded commentary aspect he mentioned that the commentators will talk about the MVP and ROY races for that season. I wonder if they will talk about your RTTS individually if you are leading the MVP race or Rookie of Year race. Because I know in NBA 2K12, if you are leading the league in points, they won't talk about your player, they'll talk about somebody else on the other team that might be in 2nd. I just hope the commentators talk about your RTTS if you are leading the MVP race.
