DD - Fast Play Only?

[aparks87]

Been playing DD all day...and noticed even when you play it offline against the cpu or extra innings...you are forced to play all games in "fast play" presentation?

This. Blows. Anyone know of a way to change it or are we screwed?

IDK about anyone else...but the cut-scenes and broadcast-like presentation is one of the best parts about the game.

Hope this can be patched in to be able to chose what presentation you want to use...otherwise its kind of an upsetting omission this year.

Maybe so, but i play DD offline only. I like to play the cpu and extra innings match-ups.

I wholeheartedly agree with you, and this will absolutely be a 'mode-killer' for me. In the past couple of years, I have probably played DD more than any other mode, but now being forced to play without a DH and always in 'Fast Play' presentation mode is really making me considering whether I want to commit any time to the mode this year.

I don't understand why they would force this weird brand of baseball on you. I don't want to only play Fast Play National League baseball. It's silly decisions to lock the user into certain play styles like this that drive me up a freaking wall . IT NEVER MAKES SENSE TO LIMIT OPTIONS, especially when you've shown in the past the willingness to give the user options.

I was wondering where all the presentation went! I thought I was going crazy and kept looking for it in the presentation options but nothing was there.

I can't see where I'm hitting the ball when it goes foul, no home run celebrations, no replays, no nothing.

I understand they want to limit it in online games to speed things up but I don't get why it's forced on offline games as well.

I think this may be part of improving online actually. Less data, less lag

What's the excuse why it's omitted from offline games though?

I'm guessing they just forgot about it.

I hope they just 'forgot about it' rather than this being an actual game design decision, because for me, I don't think I can play it. If I'm going to be spending an hour playing a baseball game, I want to enjoy the full ambiance, and it doesn't look like we'll be getting that in DD.

The good thing is it's still very early so there's a chance (albeit a small one) they could add it in if someone makes them aware of it.

MyTeam in 2k also has stripped down announcing, online and off. Not sure about MUT and FUT.

I didn't notice it in 2K actually but it may be due to me playing myTeam the majority of the time.

I don't think there is any difference in FUT.

If you play MyCareer or franchise and then MyTeam its very noticeable. MyTeam doesn't have stories, comments on players, statistical info, or anything else besides basic play by play.

I just hope we can get someone associated with SCEA to comment on whether this is something that can be easily fixed or if this is the way it's going to be. This will be likely be the determining factor on whether I play this mode at all or not and I'd like to know sooner than later so I can decide whether to invest any time in it.

Those last two sentences pretty much sum up how I feel. If I cant play a 20 minute game with quick counts in DD, then I want my hour long game to be a full game.

Re: DD - Fast Play Only?

I totally agree. I was very excited for this "new" DD mode this year but without the presentation and replays I am already bored with it. I only play offline too. Will not be buying any stubs. Hopefully someone can get in touch a SD Studio rep and let him know about, but for now I'm disinterested.
