This is probably it, though I would think that would work better for the outfield than the infield (plays at the bases). Seems like those collisions would be pretty hard to "avoid" and still make it look realistic.

I think there was a misquote by one of the reviews which got some people confused. Probably there won't be collisions, but collision awareness prevents players from colliding, which introduces a whole array of new plays. And that's probably how the system works right now.

It would be nice if there eventually will be collisions and induced injuries, etc.

That is all.

Diamond Dynasty might just be a game changer for the Show. While it sounds like certain modes from other games, it also sounds a bit different as well. Custom logos and uniforms along with "dynasty players" playing along side MLB players? This is going to bring custom team modes to a new level. I can't wait for this game to come out.

I think its alot more different & deep. Its going to be a challenge, I think, when spending your hard earned budget points. Improve one of your dynasty players? Maybe buy a pack to see if you find another better dynasty player to build upon? Maybe build a full set of dynasty player team or a full set of Mlb team? I think its going to be fun.

Like someone mentioned earlier, I do like Fifa Ultimate Team but I dont really know many players so I had to base it on stats, but when it comes to baseball I know pretty much 90%+ of all the players in the MLB so i will be more Immersed in it.

Cant wait.

In my eyes, it really is! And there is only more possiblities going forward. The robustness of the customization stuff is on par with some of the Play. Create. Share. games that Sony has put out. (disclaimer: not saying that created stuff can be shared)

I can see myself spending hours creating uniforms alone!

Fact sheet looks great. Diamond Dynasty does as well. Can't wait!

Agreed. The Assassin's! (Insert AC logo on jerseys and hat after creating it)..
1000 layers? 1000? Insane.. Will it have letters so I could write a few paragraphs in the logo? Haha

Ramone hasn't replied since asking for a link of the GTTV listing.. Did he have to go off and call them up?! Haha.. Hope you get it sorted out Ramone.. we don't wanna watch that 2K mess.

STILL want to know what Nem was talking about.. preorder bonus??

READY for the Show.

Guys are still blowing this up.
You're good nem...real good.

No OF collisions....there is better collision avoidance and I believe what some guys may be referring to is perhaps the "takeout" plays at 2B on double plays.
I'm pretty sure there is some new things there this year.

Diamond Dynasty.
While I can't say much........and yes....it's similar in there are teams...and you play..but that's about it.... it is pretty deep. Interesting. Time eater. Custom logos. Custom uniforms!.....You have to think....and plan....
I think the possibilities of DD as a new mode are pretty substantial.

New Batter/Pitcher Attribute snapshot OSD (D-Pad Left)

would we be able to get a peek at that?

also, was anything done to Reliever AI?
Sucks seeing the yanks bring in a righty out of the pen to face big papi when a lefty was warming up.
also seeing papelbon come out of a game because he let up a two run dinger.

So you don't have to press Start or Select and break the flow of the game also, was anything done to Reliever AI? Sucks seeing the yanks bring in a righty out of the pen to face big papi when a lefty was warming up. also seeing papelbon come out of a game because he let up a two run dinger. That was improved in '11. Did you say you were playing an older version?

Nice! I cannot wait till March.

# 113 econoodle @ 02/07/12 09:02 PM

slab, i like the idea of that dropdown!

yes i still play ten, but i played 11 for a bit last year and saw some wonkiness like that, hard to say if it was much better as the sample size was low, but I did play enough to see those instances.

i dont mind the closer getting yanked as much, but using a righthanded reliever in a LOOGY spot gets me a bit.

I hear you....but in talking with Brian...it's coded to go with the player who is most effective vs. regardless of handedness.(not rating I think...but recent stats)
I'd have to hear from him to confirm that(we talked a LOT of things)...but I did speak to him about it.
The game is not(obviously) hard coded to go with lefty vs. lefty...etc.
He was willing to change this up to go with lefty with best vs. ....right with best vs......in situational pitching changes...but I don't think that's in '12.

Mention that in the wishlist if you would.

Just being able to play the Challenge of the week over and over again for free is a huge feature for me, I freaking love that mode.

# 116 Austinredsox @ 02/07/12 09:12 PM

I'm surprised nobody is talking about the 14 new umps! I thought someone would have at least made the "I swear if Jim Joyce...." comment by now.

I agree.
Somebody has to do a Wiki with the umps personal strike zones.

That's because the 14 new umpires news is something Ramone@SCEA unofficially revealed more than a month ago I believe. I'm hoping someone as bad as Eric Gregg is one of the new ones.

sounds fair, i figured it was set up to do most effective or something along those lines.
thanks knight.

i am getting an itchy trigger finger after reading the list.

Yeah, I know what your saying. I just remember it was really bad before (and it could have been '09), where they were immediately taken out if the game when they gave up a lead.
