00:03Hi everyone, the foundation MLB The Show was built on is and will always be gameplay.
00:09With that in mind, let's take a look at some of the improvements you can look forward to in the
00:13gameplay and animation realm.
00:16This year we greatly increased the variety of hits possible in the show.
00:20There are curving and slicing grounders down the lines, bloops, Texas leaguers, and top spin line drives just to name
00:28a few.
00:29All generated by an accurate model of the ball spinning off of a bat.
00:33In previous versions of the show, we were modeling the spin that would occur if the ball had hit a
00:38wall instead of a bat.
00:40Our new accurate model is a game changer.
00:42The location and spin of the pitch, angle of the bat, and launch velocity are all factored into the spin,
00:49allowing for more realistic and varied ball flight paths.
00:52Physics is tuned using real-world video and measured home run distances to accurately model the path of flight, temperature,
01:01and altitude effects.
01:02MLB The Show 17 has the most dynamic hit variety ever in the franchise.
01:07There are hundreds of thousands of new possibilities this year.
01:12We're injecting more humanity into our artificial intelligence this year.
01:16The AI will behave even more like a human.
01:20Examples include not always running to the exact spot on balls hit off the wall,
01:26CPU step-off timing variety,
01:29fake throw timing variety in rundowns,
01:32base runner, and throw decisions.
01:34The goal is to continue our pursuit in having the AI-controlled players react more lifelike
01:40instead of seeming to know exactly what's going to happen on any given play.
01:44A threat on the base paths can terrorize a defense if not dealt with appropriately.
01:49The systems that relate to pick-offs,
01:52still attempts,
01:53tags,
01:53and the catcher attempting to throw a runner out all get more focused in The Show 17.
01:58Today, we'll just focus on the catcher throwing meter.
02:01Be sure to join us on the gameplay livestream for more details.
02:05The catcher throwing meter was introduced to give you more control on thwarting still attempts.
02:10The meter works like this.
02:11The moment you notice a still attempt is being made,
02:14hold down or tap the triangle button to start the meter.
02:17If you're holding down on triangle,
02:19let it go when you see the accuracy bar rise into the green sweet spot for an accurate throw.
02:24Your catcher's arm accuracy attribute will shrink or grow the size of the sweet spot,
02:29and how hard the catcher throws to the base will be decided by his arm strength attribute.
02:35In closing,
02:36with the addition of the new catcher throwing meter and cat and mouse gameplay,
02:40you can expect more control and granularity on the base path this year.
02:51The Show 17 introduces a new, more sophisticated system and hundreds of new animations.
02:57You will no longer have to worry about players taking their time when they shouldn't,
03:01timing issues with on-the-run catches that result in battles beating out routine types of plays,
03:06lobbing throws,
03:07or throws coming out too hard from short distances.
03:11The system is smarter and way more efficient.
03:13With our all-new multi-brand system,
03:15you'll see a variety of throws that come from the same catch,
03:19depending on when you throw the ball as the catch is being made.
03:22We balance all of our throws to make sure they're more reflective of the actual arm speed
03:27and arm slot in the animation.
03:30The end result is a catch and throw engine that's more responsive with much less exports,
03:35in addition to a much larger variety of animations for every situation.
03:39We've added even more team-specific and player-specific home run sequences,
03:45post-game player and team-specific animations as well.
03:48The Show 17 includes over 350 new and redone baddest dances,
03:54over 300 new and redone pitching motions,
03:56last and certainly not least,
03:58we've motion-captured over 1,000 new gameplay animations.
04:02That's all for now.
04:03Be sure to join us for the Gameplay and Retro Mode Deep Dive livestream on Twitch.
04:08We'll discuss everything in this blog in more detail
04:10and answer any of your gameplay questions.
04:13See you guys on the stream.
