Pitching Coach visits mound too soon And manager yelling!!

mike75 · 11-02-2009, 12:14 PM

One of the few issues I have with MLB 09 The Show is that the pitching coach visits the pitchers mound too fast.

Often I am playing a game and the CPU pitching coach does a mound visit after the pitcher walks only 2 guys in the first inning without even giving up any runs.

This should be fixed for MLB 10 The Show!

Also sometimes there is a cut scene showing the manager yelling at a player in the dug out for poping up a ball. That is something you would almost never see in real life. But in MLB The Show I see it often. The only time you should see the manager yelling at a player is "Only" if the player does something really really dumb! And even then a lot of managers woul dnot yell at a player in front of the other players.

These 2 issues need to be worked on for the next version!

Anyone of you good people agree with me? Or am I the only one who sees this as a small issue?

Again I understand this is not a huge problem and I am just posting to let Sony know so they can maybe fix it and it would just make MLB The Show that much better and more lifelike then it already is

I know its to let to post in the feedback thred so I posted here. Hope that was ok

Somethimes I hate posting because I always seem to get ripped for something.

I agree about the mound visit. Usually after the first walk given up in the game by the CPU. I hope they change this next year.
As for the coach yelling, that doesn't bother me as much. Maybe the coach is an extremely emotional guy, lol...

I have seen the cutscene in question, and it always seemed to me that the manager was yelling at the player for swinging at the first pitch and popping it up, or hitting into a double play. If you work the count, have a 10 pitch at bat, and fly out, then yeah, no manager in the game would be dressing down a player in the dugout.

However, men at second and third, and two away, and you swing at a first pitch out of the zone, and pop it up, you can bet a constructive comment is going to passed along after that at bat.

At community day last winter I brought it to the developer's attention about the manager yelling all the time and they toned it down but it still needs more adjusting.

I could care less about the yelling...its a cutscene and they get old after seeing them a couple fof times anyway and they seem to always be out of sync with what transpired on the field in video games. So I just write that off

However, in regards to the mound visits early, rather than adjusting it to not happen that early, I think a more appropriate fix, would be to tie this logic into a new game feature for next year that alot of us have been asking about....and thats Manager Profiles for EACH team.

This way, with teams like St Louis and the NY Yankees, you will see more of the matchup micromanagement or the constant flipping of the bullpen and over strategizing on the mound.

And other teams may be more Sink or Swim, Hit & Run, Steal & Steal, Favor Lefty/Righty matchups over hot performers.....etc. That way we would see the early mound visits from time to time but only by certain managers, and we'd see a much wider variety of team play in certain situations

Nem,

They said they were going to take it out, but I guess they didn't get around to it.

I agree it needs more adjusting. I'm fairly confident that Bobby Cox is not going to be yelling at Chipper in the dugout...

Yeah I skip half or more of the cutscenes anyway so the yelling doesnt bother me.
