MLB 14 The Show PS4 Gameplay Videos (IGN)

Re: MLB 14 The Show PS4 Gameplay Videos (IGN)

I getcha. I wasn't trying to call you out specifically, just the comments about gameplay in general needing to be changed. Baseball gameplay, to me, is about the number of animations you can get into the game for variety's sake. Fielding 50 ground balls before you see the same animation twice feels so much better than every 10. Like others have said, it's baseball so it can't change too much.

One thing I learned early in my professional career is to be a specific as possible when giving feedback. Being too general doesn't add value. Saying gameplay needs to be different doesn't mean anything. For example, saying baserunning needs to be improved because runners are making turns at 90 degree angles, which isn't humanly possible, means something. I think that is what causes a lot of the disagreements on message boards. General statements sound like hating, specific statements sound like you want to improve things. That's my life lesson (and the aforementioned advice isn't direct towards you OU, just making a general statement to try to improve dialogue).

I agree and no offense taking .. Everyone here likes to jump on peope jus bc they have diff opinion on the game and we all know everyone has an opinion .. Right or wrong I jus want the best baseball game possiable as do most peope here except the trolls .

LMAO at some of the ridiculous comments in this thread.

Worst part is...they are baiting....some are biting.

Same old, same old. ...and I mean here....cause it's certainly not the game.

My favorite...the gameplay hasn't changed since '09.

Y...OKAY!


Whoops...I just nibbled.

Later.

People on these boards are probably tired of hearing me bringing up Costas as a replacement, but I'm 100% with you there. The commentary has been stale for 2-3 years now...

Pertaining to commentary, I think a big part of changing it has to do with the engine that is utilized on PS3. I'm sure they don't want to change the engine for that system. With the PS4, my hope is SCEA looks at overhauling the entire engine and flow. Watching a broadcast, you get a much more conversational feel rather than reactionary with a 2 second delay to each play. Easier said than done, but it would go a long way in polishing the presentation.

100% agree love listening to Bob Costas call a game love Vin Scully the most though but would be afraid I'd fall asleep listening to his voice as I've fell asleep many nights in my chair watching late night Dodgers game lol

Or how about John Sterling or Indians radio man Tom Hamallton, both have really awesome baseball voices, and get very excited.

even tho I'm a sox fan... I kinda like Michael Kay as an announcer.

I know many of you haven't tried the PS3 version yet, but the dynamic camera has added a whole new feel to the gameplay (without changing the gameplay much at all).

I really thought I would hate dynamic, because I love the broadcast view of HR an stuff, but man was I wrong. It's fantastic and hopefully makes it over to the PS4.

It really does make it a whole new ballgame

LOVE Jon Miller. One of the best... I wonder if SCEA would be reluctant to ask him since he worked on the 2K games for so long.

Like Miller as well dont know why ESPN didnt jus fire Morgan and let Miller stay .

Everything looks amazing. Just a little disappointed in the same accessories, such as the gloves and cleats. I noticed every infielder is still wearing a trapeze glove. Never was a fan of that style and I was hoping for more variety, at least more than one. Hopefully next year more will be added.

Like the camera except on Home Runs ..

Michael Kay was better when he did radio with Sterling, he has an awesome way of doing play-by-play on radio. I don't get to hear him much because I use the audio overlay feature on mlb.tv. As for Vin putting you to sleep, lol, I'm remembering the days of mlb 98 up to mlb 2005! Jon Miller is very good, and was amazing in 2k5! He actually did a radio style play-by-play in the game which I loved.

Re: MLB 14 The Show PS4 Gameplay Videos (IGN)

High expectations is an understatement, it's more like unrealistic expectations at best.

That and the non-realization that there's a compromise in everything. It would have been humanly impossible to re-do every aspect of the game in just one cycle, while maintaining 2 other platforms. Had they focused on player models, and ported over the stadiums, the fuss would be even greater. Like someone said, it's lose-lose.

This is exactly what I've been trying to relay. Especially the bolded. Blanket statements do nothing for getting your point across.
