Re: PS4 Discussion (MLB The Show 14)
Really hope they use their resources most to player development. Not at all in terms of solely progression or declining, regression factors. But in relation to development that comes from players daily factors, such as injuries, coaching, repetitions, all events in games, such as letting down in a clutch situation, getting pulled, positive or negative reputations for varios factors, and such things that they go through daily, that affect them more than just the stat line over previous games.. They play their games, they get roughly 4 at bats a night, that should not be the sole determinant of their ratings, whether they get xbh's or go 2-4 etc. What I want to see reflected in the PS4 version of players, is an affect on athleticism, awareness, morale, along with physical abilities but the thing about physical ability, is that they don't change so drastically, over anyone's career. Even a guy with low skill sets, stays that way even though he's in the big leagues for a stint. I want to see the developers in this PS4 and how far they have gone in developing different player models, not just in graphics or animations.
edit -- Equally exciting would be seeing the development of pitchers. Pitchers who are missing their location with particular pitches, or getting into trouble for various reasons, high pitch counts, no putaway pitches. The coaching and development and fatigue they deal with daily, I'd love to see reflected in this game. Sometimes we leave out pitchers in these conversation, but their struggles and development will affect the gameplay equally as much as the batters and fielders.And I think this system, will provide a new emphasis we never have had before, on our coaching staff. They will have some newfound importance and say-so in what we do for our franchises.
I also want to see a pregame in MLB the Show, and thankfully we won't have to forego if it's missing in MLB 14'. I'd like to see a pregame, of some sort, and it's their job to implement these things, so I won't theorize a way to mechanically put it in. But I just want to see things, like pregame batting practice, maybe teamwide or just randomly with a player, and shagging fly balls or light long toss, basic pregame stuff, optional of course. It's just that sometimes it's so difficult to be ready for those first AB's especially with a new player or non-everyday. I'd like to familarize my self even further with a franchise club than just when I see them turn up in the lineup order of a real game.
