[Yawkey Way]

[Sharkweather]

Did they not have Online Season Leagues before?

If so, glad that is in there.

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

:bow: Hopefully the box scores exported to their site are easier to read this year, it was all there last year, just not so easy to navigate.

And I see Russell05 came back to VSN

CORE FRANCHISE FEATURES
Progressive Batting Performance – Reward players for superior performance and penalize them for hitting slumps. Specific to each individual batter, players are rewarded with contact bonuses for each batter that performs beyond his “natural ability” while under user control. Conversely, the user will be punished with slight decreases in contact for each batter that performs below his natural ability.

Post Game/In Game Pitcher and Batter Analysis – Available both in-game, post-game, and throughout Road to The Show, the pitch analysis is a breakdown of all the pitches thrown during the current game being played. Gamers will be able sort by pitcher, LHB or RHB, pitch type, and result. This feature is also available for batters, and the batter analysis allows for a breakdown of how a batter has performed based on LHP or RHP, pitch type, and result.

Mascots – Every team mascot is available, performing signature moves during each game to pump up the crowd and rally the team.

Pitch Grips – MLB 10 The Show details various pitch grips and arm angles that a pitcher has when throwing each pitch. 17 different pitch types including four fastball variations (four-seam, two-seam, cutter, split), six breaking pitches (10-4 curve, 12-6 curve, slider, sinker, slurve, screwball), four change-ups (straight, circle change, palmball, forkball), and three specialty pitches (knuckle, knuckle-curve, and gyro).

Roster Vault – The Roster Vault features gives users the ability to create their perfect roster offline by adjusting player attributes, appearance, accessories, etc. Users can then save this roster to their memory card, memory stick or PS3 hard drive and then upload online to share with others allowing The Show community to share and judge any roster.

Online League Play – Create leagues with up to 30 teams with full stat tracking, point benefits and rewards. Gamers can customize leagues including choosing players, teams, length of schedule, and much more. (Note: There are no cross platform leagues available)

Key Modes – Rivalry, Career, Season, and All-Star game are once again available to provide players a chance to challenge friends or the Artificial Intelligence (AI) in a variety of settings.

Multi-Branch Fielding – Branch Point Technology goes to a new level as gamers you can now take full control of fielders and break out of any animation in the process. Change a fielding decision and branch out of any animation after the first branch point.

Pitch Command System (PCS) – A pitcher’s “pitch comfort” will be predetermined based on a best to worst pitch scenario. The more a player works on a pitch, the better it becomes, and the more a gamer neglects a pitch, the harder it becomes to work the zone.

Release Point Pitching – Gamers must utilize a timing mechanism to learn and realize each pitchers pace and release point, which varies from pitcher to pitcher.

Pitching Confidence Meter – The ultimate pitcher/batter interface returns. Additionally, Pitcher Confidence plays a role in a gamer’s ability to hit release points in the all-new pitch meter, while frequency of mistakes will impact the confidence level of a gamer’s hurler, making it more difficult to paint the corners of the strike zone.

Guess Pitch – Baseball fans can attempt to master the ability to knock one out or hit the grounder to advance the runner by checking pitch history and correctly guessing which pitch and location that the pitcher will throw next. If a correct pitch is selected, the power attribute is increased to give the batter a higher chance of hitting one out of the park.

PlayMaker Fielding – Based on fielding attributes, but it’s ultimately up to each player to decide how to play to each team’s strengths and weaknesses. Excellent fielders will track down the ball for you while sub-par fielders will require some concentration.

MLB® Player Motion Captures – Authentically captured motions from dozens of professional athletes including Joe Mauer, Dustin Pedroia, David Wright, Ryan Howard, and more.

Umpire Personalities – Each umpire will have his own definition of the strike zone, and it’s up to the gamer to figure out if the umpire is calling the zone high, low, or giving the corners.\

3-Man Booth & Progressive Commentary – Rex Hudler, Matt Vasgersian, and Dave Campbell return to provide the most comprehensive commentary available. Additionally, the game’s Progressive Commentary system changes dialogue by adapting to current actions and situations.

 

[JTRaines92]

I can't fucking wait! I will do the Home Run Derby for my teams slugger every year, I hope they fixed the problem when you draft a guy in the draft and he has a different last name as the commentators say. Again, I can't wait for this shit!

 

[albidnis]

Wow... Can't wait. I love this game off-line. It seems like it will be just as good on-line.

 

[BuccaneerFan]

Wow....I think I jizzed a little in my pants reading all this.

Cannot freaking wait for this game. And I LOVE the addition of classic stadiums! How cool will it be to play some online ladder games in throwback unis at the Polo Grounds?

 

[krulmichael]

No outfielder collisions still? Pfft, what a garbage ass game. Guess I'll wait for next years version.

 

[krulmichael]

EDIT: Stupid double post.

Problems with your internet or did you do it on purpose? Outfield collisions would be very cool though.

My bad. Was downloading some updates while I posted that, guess it double posted somehow.

 

[Rush]

I can't wait to see how The Golden Sombrero does with a even better game.

 

[killgod]

I never left:yaya:

Don't be so quiet.

I can't wait to see how The Golden Sombrero does with a even better game.

Hopefully multiple seasons. I was bent that season two had to fold.

 

[Vinsane]

lol

 

[ryne candy]

The classic stadiums are DLC and free with preorder from Gamestop & Amazon. No word on price per DLC.

[ryne candy]

Russell also confirmed the DLC isn't "exclusive" to preordering meaning we will be able to get them without preordering the game.

yeah....just wonder how much it will cost if we wanted to DL them. I never have DL'ed a stadium or golf course (in Tiger Woods game). Not sure if I will, unless they make more recent ones like the Astrodome.

 

[Blade]

Hmm.....catcher mode is enticing.

How about baserunning controls? Are they still going to use that stupid analog stick?

 

[EmpireWF]

DL that actually allows you to replace a guy on the 25/40 is sweet
