The arcade style action of the Home Run Derby returns in MLB 10:
The Show. Available through a variety play options, including
season modes and a stand-alone mode that can be selected at any
time, Home Run Derby is based on the MLB rules and flow of the
actual MLB All-star game. In addition, the MLB All-star Futures
Game is also available via season modes in its correct timeframe
(just before the HR Derby). Will your Road to The Show player be
invited to compete in the Home Run Derby or the Futures Game?
Swing for the fences and keep your stats high and you may just
get the call as the All-star break approaches.
Call the Game as Catcher
The catcher is the brains of any defensive squad on the field,
and as such MLB 10: The Show lets you test both your baseball IQ
and your skills in the crouch as you call the game, one pitch at
a time, from behind the plate. Available during Road to The Show,
and exhibition game play options, players cultivate their rookie
Minor League catcher and bring him up to the Majors where he can
lay down signs to your pitcher, offer additional pitch selections
if his first pitch call is shaken off and even change signs at
will, all via your controller's face buttons. Pitches are called
from a unique first-person perspective, after which the camera
angle changes to a standard third-person perspective affording a
better view of the entire field. This new functionality defines a
whole new level of strategy, demanding knowledge of pitches,
sing batters' tendencies and the state of your own pitcher's
well-being, as well as the ability to check runners on base and
handle and/or block balls that are in the dirt or wild.
New Defensive Training Options
No ballplayer becomes a golden glove overnight. With that in
mind MLB 10: The Show includes new fielding and p training
modes that augment the existing training functionality built into
the game's improved Road to the Show mode. Fielding drills focus
both on the basics of player's throwing arm, utilizing the new
throw meter, as well as the more advanced combination of throwing
and decision-making that players will need during game
situations. P training consists of a multi-pronged focus
designed to improved control and accuracy. Training in these
areas is available in isolated one-on-one battles known as
"Knockout," as well as simulated game situations, where goals are
clearly defined for each drill.
