MLB 13 The Show - Beginner Mode Impressions


Kotaku's Owen Good has posted his hands-on impressions of Beginner Mode in MLB 13 The Show. After reading his article, let us know what you think about the mode.

Quote:
... Beginner Mode grew out of developers' desire to chip away at The Show's intimidating reputation, not only to newcomers, but also to veterans who found some aspect of it difficult. This typically is hitting, an art that requires a ton of patience, something a video game experience rarely fosters.

With Beginner Mode turned on, you'll play a nine-inning game regularly. The pitchers' and hitters' behavior will be different depending on how far along you are in your progress. I was handed the controller to play Detroit versus the New York Yankees, switching sides between innings to hit against C.C. Sabathia (announced Thursday as The Shows second cover candidate, joining Washington's Bryce Harper) and Justin Verlander. You can apply Beginner Mode to any matchup involving any two teams.
Platform: PS3 / PS Vita

It's not meant for veterans of the series or guys who feel like they have a handle on hitting.

Not funny, but the Show should have alot of new players to the series this year. Its the only MLB baseball video game in the country.

Beginner's mode...for whom? People in Yugoslavia who have no idea what baseball is? See the ball, hit the ball. What else do you need?

I would first recommend it to all the people who complain that the game sucks because "hitting is too hard"

Well, easier said then done. Many people struggle with this game when they first get introduced. It's just a tool to give people a runway so to speak where they can get adjusted and brought up to speed with some success before entering the regular game difficulties.

That's already in the game, it's called Rookie Difficulty.

Just don't see this being necessary. Resources that could've been used elsewhere to improve the game.
