Oh well, with August just around the corner ,better let the dev's get started on MLB'15 (The Patch:... with all the bits we failed to fix in MLB'14)....and including all the bits we took out of 12 + 13, that you all enjoyed, but we didn't have enough time/memory for, but also including all the things you really want (and ask for repeatedly), on the 'New Generation', of all seeing, all dancing PS4.....

What exactly did they take out of 12/13 that we all enjoyed?

I was thinking maybe the signage carried over from team with player but possibly showed the wrong logo.

That is weird and funny!

Really? Hundreds of times? As in you sent a man to steal second, made contact that found a whole, then decided to send him to third as soon as the ball broke through?

Because every time in this version, the runner slides into 2nd and IGNORES the call to run to third, no matter how many times you prompt him otherwise. This is, of course, not at all true to life.

I have it on Assist, of course. Like to push the basrunners if I see an opportunity. Can't wrap my mind around playing on Auto, which I assume is your setting since it's the only other option and the only way to avoid this problem.

Yepp. On Assisted base running. EVERY single time he slides. Not sure what game i am playing then.

Can't believe the lighting wasn't fixed. It's dark out there in Pittsburgh. Geez!

# 107 Turbojugend @ 07/18/14 02:42 PM

Very happy to hear about the organ music. I played a bit this morning but had the sound turned way down as to not wake the missus.

Frame rate cutscenes seem exactly the same, but honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a lot of optimization that needs to go into improving that. Maybe next year...

I did notice one minor glitch that I've never seen before. Angels (me) vs. Yankees (CPU) at Yankee Stadium, Quick Counts On: Josh Hamilton was at bat but the scoreboard showed Mike Trout, but on the next pitch the scoreboard switched to Hamilton. What's even weirder is that Pujols bats between those two, so it's not like it got stuck or anything. Weird.

# 108 HozAndMoose @ 07/18/14 02:45 PM

Here is another one just in case you want to try and say i wasnt on assist.

Yeah I haven't seen this issue either. I've only had maybe 10-15 successful hit and runs (meaning I didn't pop it up, miss the pitch, or hit a fly ball) and I've never had a problem sending the runner to the next base.

My guess, and maybe I'm wrong but it's the only thing I can think of that would be causing this, is that you're too late with attempting to advance the runner. Whenever I'm sending a guy to the next base, I try to make sure I'm pressing L1, or the button for whichever base I want him to advance to, before he reaches the grass cut around the base (usually about 2-3 steps before reaching the base). If you press it just before the runner attempts a slide, obviously the animation takes over and you cannot advance him.

Again, I could be wrong, but that's my main guess. The other is that you're using analog hitting and pre-loading the slide as a result of moving the stick up for your swing and holding it there once the screen cuts to the fielding view. I don't use analog myself, so I'm not sure if this is even an issue, but just another guess.

Full batter routines before/during of them getting into the box. On 13 they were back (as they were in 11) as 12 cut them out. Well they cut them out for the most part again in 14.

real Time presentation was elimated (I liked turning that on sometimes for a change of pace...no cut scenes).

The ability to turn off the HR cam. I loved the pulled back camera on no doubters. Not the behind the catcher shot the HR cam produces. Now they patched the pull back back in and it is supposed to be triggered 75% of the time....but it is not so. I am seeing about a 2-1 ratio of HR cam to the pulled back cam. I am pretty certain they give us the toggle again for 15 to turn off the HR cam.

Organ music while pitchers warm up. In 11 and 12 I loved that. In 13 they did the rock music. And while I got used to it and like it now (and they lowered it down to an ambient level for 14) I miss just hearing the organ music playing while a pitcher warms up.

Also for 15 I would love to see the return of the umpire crew being announced. I loved that small touch and that is how a real broadcast is to this day. I know I can go to the game log to see what crew I am playing with (as I know certain umpires tendencies) but having that feature was cool and made it feel authentic.

More than i thought they did. I usually skip that stuff so i didnt notice.

They catered to you then LOL. But that is unlike SCEA. They usually leave in the little things. It is what gives this game it's undeniable charm.

X button is your friend. But some of us love to take it all in and have the option to speed along when we want. I hope they bring back the 'little things" like mentioned above that make this baseball game so great year after year.

Don't get me wrong. 14 is by far my favorite version. I just want it all.

I agree. The sooner they drop support for PS3 the sooner that kind of stuff will come back i think. They can still do it while making a PS3 version. Just feel like we wont get an MLB The Show that takes full advantage of the PS4 until they do.

Played a game last night and today and I'm psyched that the custom camera held, but I don't hear organ music. Played at Citi Field and then Wrigley, didn't hear it at all. Sound is up, settings are at full, but nada. Weird.

What about the double play take out slide glitch? Does the runner headed to 1st still slide into the bag everytime?

That's not a glitch. When hitting into a double play you are actually controlling the runner going to first rather than the runner headed to second. So when you move the stick to slide (thinking you are the runner going to 2B) that's why the runner headed to first slides when it's close. Don't move the stick and the runner won't slide into 1B.

Just hit a home run with Daric Barton of the A's on a franchise started today post-patch and it said first career home-run, so apparently this was not fixed.

Ya, but now the organ music works..... isnt that all that matters SMH lol

Just fired up the PS4 for the first time today and my custom pitching camera DID NOT HAVE TO BE RE-MADE. Love that custom cameras are actually saving now.
