MLB 13 The Show Video - Atlanta Braves vs. Colorado Rockies

[mdlanni1]

I'm happy to see people here agree for the most part that not much has changed. You say that in some other threads and people crucify you for whatever reason. Maybe SECA pays these people on here to say nothing critical. At the end of the day though this is still one of the best sports game out there and I'll buy it but my excitement factor is at a 2 out of 10 where as when 2009 was released it was a 10 out of 10.

If your excitement level is so low why would you buy it? Oh it SCEA by the way not SECA!

As far as ball/bat physics, you can actually see then in real-time in PYS because the game is a much slower battery pace. If you replayed at bats in The Show, you would see they are now too shabby and much improved over past versions. I agree PYS does have the edge.

Hit variety/hit types isn't that much different between the two, and I would classify both as very good. I can't say I enjoy anything gameplay-wise about 2K, but that's just me.


As for presentation, I personally don't think you'll see anything in MLB13 that will impress you, or be to your expectations, unfortunately. Now (commentary and stats) presentation-wise 2K does get the nod over the other two series.

And as a reference, these are the baseball games I own and have played extensively, from this generation... minus 2K8, which I sold back:

I'm going to agree with the font. I don't think I dislike it, but as you said, I've seen it before. Maybe it's the all capital letters or something, but a fresh coat of paint would be nice.

I don't like VC's font with their 2K games either though, so there's something in between that might be alright.

Love that they nailed Heyward's stance! Problem is that guy has changed it all three years, and I bet it's going to change some this year as well.

Sorry, I didn't realize my english teacher was in this room. Why would I buy it? Because I don't want to play with old rosters. If there was a way to download 2013 rosters on 2012, I wouldn't.

The reason for the all CAPS is readability.

You could always edit rosters...

I have even grown to like the all caps look, even in stuff away from The Show.


Also, nice reference to Laguna Seca...my dad raced there and I go there every year
