Kccitystar Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Oh man the celebrations are great. The only gripe I have is the lack of collision detection on that A-Rod blast. The catcher didn't get out of A-Rod's way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeexDev Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Didnt they say that the players could collide in this years version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KerryW Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 The animations from fouling-off pitches are pretty cool. The instant replays are also very tv-like, which is a big plus. I still don't get the premise of the yellow area in the pitch meter though...what exactly is that for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYM Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 more cahllenging....instead of havbing a big green meter to hit..igf u hit yellow it will go somewhat where u want it while if u hit the smaller green zone it will be perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't get the premise of the yellow area in the pitch meter though...what exactly is that for? The foul animations suck. It's the same thing each time. And the batter reacts too much. Also, batters don't ALWAYS spin out like that when they foul off a pitch... Again EA with the overdoing. God I hope they fix this crap before they ship it...

KerryW Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Holy crap, they actually have the post-home run walks this time....A-Rod hits one and the replay shows him doing his little reaction with the raised bat....Hopefully this will be incorporated into other players too.

God I hope they fix this crap before they ship it... hey donut this is not a real life televised game....ITS A VIDEO GAME....U HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT! ALSO COMPARE EA TO OTHER GAMES SUCH AS MLB 2006 OR ESPN....ITS THE GREATEST GAME U CAN BUY RIGHT NOW! THINGS TAKE TIME TO DEVELOP INTO A PERFECTED PRODUCT....U CANT EXPECT PERFECTION ON THE 3RD YEAR OF MAKING SOMTHING!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you hate this game so much you might as well just watch baseball on TV. You seem to fail to understand that it is a VIDEO GAME. It may not be a perfect simulation of what you play in real life or what you see on TV but video game companies try to perfect a sport that is very very hard to replicate. Baseball is a mind game. It is a cat-mouse game. It is a game of strategy. This game is basically a 3 year plan, so after this year, I'm assuming they'll do some sort of cleansing, meaning they'll remove the crap people play less frequently and add the stuff that matters. Maybe graphics weren't an issue this year. This year they've been focusing on gameplay and they are trying to replicate exactly what a person would see on television. It may not be the best presentation in the world, but in my case, in KC's eyes, I don't give a damn if windows are missing in MVP. I could care less if the huge *** scoreboard at Shea is missing. That's like whining over Kobe Bryant not having the right shoe in NBA Live, or saying that Derek Jeter's index finger is not exactly proportionate. GTFOH with that mess. Either you like the game, or you rent it, or you don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bman0123 Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I thought it was very well done. Can someone make a Kevin Millar Mod so I don't have to use the Skinny black guy with the white goetti that adds his face and picture?(And for that matter any scabs that are missing? and of course Bonds :wink: so i can have Randy K him) Anyways I can't wait to trade away Giambi.... :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a created player who is replacing Kevin Millar. Easily Editable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endeavor Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 God I hope they fix this crap before they ship it... The game as such is done, it is being bug checked currently. Changes of that magnitude will not happen anymore. Future Patches will also most likely concentrate on game/graphics glitches. Having said all that, I think it looks awesome and still can't wait! 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonBurgundy Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Is it possible they could fix A-Rod's walk-off strut.. They mixed Manny's into A-Rod's. They got the right movement for A-Rod, but in the video, the bat drops where it would for Manny, and Alex finishes off his walk-off, carrying air in his hand instead of a bat. I can't beleive I'm the only person who noticed it, but we can all agree that looks just plain stupid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either you like the game, or you rent it, or you don't like it. Don't you think it's a little pathetic that a big, huge, monopolizing corporation like EA can't fix those little glitches? I'm with all of you on hoping this is the best baseball game ever, but with EA's track record of BS and the early video previews, doesn't look like it...

Did they have patches for the PS2 online last year? I'm assuming they'll have patches for XBOX LiVE! this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kccitystar Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 There is no such thing as the perfect game. There just isn't. There might be a game that comes around that might just be a damn near excellent replica of the sport, but what EA needs to do for the next few years is just get rid of the fancy mumbo jumbo and just stick to the basics. Oh and Donut, The only thing that is available to download on LIVE and PS2 Online is roster updates. No animation fixes there...which is why me loves the PC.
