MLB 10: The Show Catcher Blog

SCEA has released yet another blog this time with the focus being playing as the catcher in Road to the Show. You can check out the full blog, though it is surprisingly brief, including a few new screenshots here.

The catcher is a key part of every single pitch in the game. He is arguably just as responsible for the outcome of a pitch as the pitcher. So when making MLB 10: The Show, we kept that in mind.

Personally I don’t see myself getting into this as a catcher, especially considering how much more time would need to be dedicated to playing each game because of the need to call every pitch. Still it is nice to have as another positional option and I’m sure there are people out there intrigued by the possibility to truly play as the catcher in RTTS. Leave your thoughts in the comments!

They better have fixed things like the base running and the controls (what button throws to what base) this year and not have overlooked them by doing this catcher mode. RTTS as catcher=BORING.

Any idea when more online Franchise information will be released? Also, you get a release date on the demo?? Thanks.

God I need this DEMO… I'm praying it comes to the PSN this week

I really wish they would have just worked on the load times between games to speed things up in RTTS. That improvement alone would have me excited for this season. Can't wait for the game! I just hope this added stuff in RTTS doesn't slow the load times down, because it's really a pain trying to play through an entire season when you have to wait so long in between each game.

At least that's my ONLY complaint about last year's game. Loved it and can't wait for this year's! Hopefully demo will be out soon.

Peace

I gave a huge list of what The Show needs to work on but here are the top 3

1) Physical detection- too many balls warping through bats and players warping through walls and other players.
2) Fielding- The pitchers IQ in the field equal zero in this game. My 1st two games playing The Show 09 I had 2 inside the park HR's . One HR was was off a bunt in front of the pitcher and the other was a popup that landed directly behind the pitcher.
3) Online lag- The Show online lag is worse than PS2 online games with a dial-up connection. There are plently of video that showcase the extreme lag of online for The Show.

I have video evidence but The Show's developers should already be jumping on fixing these glaring issues amongst the other nagging problems without the need for the consumer to point out everything. Hopefully The Show listens to it's fans in the next development cycle like 2K does otherwise it will be another ” No Show” for SCEA.

*Also The Show needs to get rid of that “just woke up and don't have my glasses on yet” feeling. Watching a game of The Show on my 60″ HDTV is like watching a game from 10 blocks away while drunk. I think it's funny how they are trying to say that it's the 3-D implementation when we all know it's really due to poor quality.

The Demo for The Show is already out ……..it's called 09, 08 etc.
Bob

The reason The Show takes such a long time to load is because they don't give 2 cents about their fans. The Show 09 was just leftovers of The Show 08 and something tells me that The Show 10 will be leftovers of The Show 09 with some seasoning. While on the other hand MLB 2k is like a fine Italian dinner.

Let this be a reason to you all on pastas site… don't do drugs!!!

Hey BOB..your first problem area is a major complaint by 2k fans..go check out youtube…you are so useless here..your opinion is incoherent ramblings now.

Does this mean that the catchers will throw off their masks on foul balls?

Bob you are the horses ass

Bob the load times are so long because of the size of the Blu Ray disc. Loading such a large program will take some time, it is the nature of the system.

Once again you spout bullshit like your mouth is an asshole.
carolinaeasy

I have played this game numerous times, and I have never had an issue with any of those things you are saying. This game isn't perfect, but please do not act like you have played the show more than three times in your life you ass hat
skihawks

Does this mode come with sore knees?
sandul

you realize that they fixed the collision detection right? and the fielding…

those “glitches” are 1 in a million fucking chances. I've NEVER EveR EVER EVER EVER gotten a glitch. so shut the fuck up bob.

The SHOW is EPIC

How you could ever complain about glitches in the Show when YouTubing “MLB 2K Glitches” is a veritable schmorgusbord of humor is beyond me.

Anyone else see the glitch where if you do an intentional walk, the game freezes up? Had it happen twice online
