Re: Sports Games of the Decade: Baseball Game of the Decade

I played the heck out of MVP 05, that game was so much fun. One thing I would like The Show to address is actually implement a numbers ratings system and not go off of bars, I hate that. I want to be able to see Tulo has a Contact of 75, power of 80 and not just a bar that you can't really tell if its better than so and so.

But man, MVP was so much fun. I liked their manage mode, and I remember I was a beast with Oliver Perez in that game. lol

Re: Sports Games of the Decade: Baseball Game of the Decade

I think one of the best things about the ratings interface/UI in the game is that they are bars and not numbers like other games.

And I do not see this changing, thankfully.

Re: Sports Games of the Decade: Baseball Game of the Decade

I agree with the you on the bar over the numbers. The use of numbers could have me going after one free agent that has a one point advantage in power over another free agent that might have put up better numbers, or someone I am already a fan of. I actually wish they would go one step further and make the attributes even more vague. Perhaps something along the lines of a real scouting report. Maybe even be inaccurate at times. There is nothing I love more in this game than a fringe player you got on the cheap over performing, or a superstar you overpaid for under performing. I love the randomness of it all.

In total agreement. It is what makes it feel so close to real life.

if you go into edit player, you can see the numerical value for their ratings/attributes.

Re: Sports Games of the Decade: Baseball Game of the Decade

Number ratings blow...and IMO don't belong anywhere near a sports game that considers itself "sim" in any respect.(unless those numbers are tied to a scouting report....different story...that's something that really exists.)
Now they are useful for editing...but outside of that I wish even the bars didn't exist....just scouting reports from your staff.
That would also push the game(including trades and salaries!)...more towards performance and potential rather than some pre-set ratings.(If they forced you to make choices on something other than ratings...they would have to have the CPU do the same! )

There was a sportscast-ish mode that allowed you to pick strategy options and jump in-game, but yeah, nothing like the on-the-field Manage Only that the Show has.
