To help avoid the confusion of who is doing what, we created some graphics that use your player’s color to indicate what responsibilities you have at any given moment. The pitcher, like the batter, can alternate between the teammates (per inning). Again, you have the ability to customize who is responsible for different areas. When you’re in the field, there are four different controllable areas-pitcher, catcher, infield, and outfield. I know, that sounds ridiculous, but it’s going to happen. I promise you, if you’re playing a 2v2 co-op offline, you’ll start to develop hand signals with your teammate for these situations. The base running works in the opposite way so if you’re batting, your teammate will be responsible for the base running allowing you to work together for sacrifices and hit and runs. When you’re at bat, you can choose to allow one person to do all of the batting or choose to alternate batters. Here’s how it works…you’re able to customize who will be responsible for the different offensive and defensive areas of the game. So, this year we created a co-op mode that gives you and a buddy the ability to play on the same team against the CPU, against 1 player, or against 2 other players. One of the features that many of you have been pushing for is the desire to play The Show with someone as a teammate, instead of just as an opponent. Now on to co-op! For those of you that follow us closely, you know that we spend a lot of time reading feedback from all of our fans out there.
