    Re: MLB 15 The Show Gameplay Stream Details - Archive Available Now, If You Missed It

    For what has been shown so far the lighting and shadows are a nice improvement. The new animation in my opinion are very noticeable and look a lot smoother than the older animation that are still in the game. Overall nice improvements as usual that you can expect from scea year after year.


    Now, as always everyone has their complaints about certain areas of the game and they all have the right to express their complaints, I have gripes about the game too, and I think we all can agree on is that we complain because we want the best most realistic baseball game imaginable, and there is nothing wrong with that. Unfortunately, it is unrealistic to expect a annually release game to make huge leaps from year after year. Every year SCEA and all the other sport game developers have to tweak and make adjustment to everything in the game and that all takes a lot of time and resources. Consequently not everything can get a complete overhaul year after year.


    So I ask this question, would you prefer if sports game quit putting out a new game a year that has little tweaks here and there with subtle improve changes and go to a every other year release that gives the developer more time to make huge improvements over the previous game and just release a roster and schedule update for the off year? by doing so that gives them 2 development cycles to work on all aspects of the game without having to worry about meeting a yearly deadline. I for one wouldn't mind that at all. chances are this will never happen but its a way that they can make huge improvements to many areas instead of a few here and there year after year.

      I would guess that new body types will come when the PS3 version becomes obsolete. The skeletons are relatively the same and they don't have time to work on two different skeletal types between cycles.

        One thing this thread and other feedback from other outlets is that MLB 15 is not looking as great as it normally does. It's early but normally there isn't this much disappointment and backlash, all the brown nosers here can say what they will but there is reason for legitimate concern.
        The game will always be serviceable, but it has always been a step above, those days maybe coming to an end...
        Brown nosers? Really? Someone who has different life experiences and knowledge than you which create an opinion you do not agree with automatically means to categorize and label them - pejoratively nonetheless. We all have our own priorities and thoughts which when combined assist these people who actually listen to us on these boards. We all bring something to the table, I just wish that it was presented constructively more often.

        This is completely true and extremely understated nowadays.

            Well, the animations are definitely smoother and much more believable.

              Outfielder running animations are far improved. I loved the sense of urgency on that one diving catch in center.

                The bottom line as I see it is anything can be improved with unlimited resources, both in developers and hardware. Unfortunately no company has the unlimited developers and the PS4 is not as powerful as some want to believe.

                So, decisions have to be made, priorities have to be set. The developers priority list may not match my priority list. My priority list may not match your priority list.

                As a pretty avid gamer and visitor to more traditional gaming sites I can tell you that almost across the board peoples expectations of how much better the PS4 (and Xbox One) would be have been a little high. I can't count how often I have seen gamers complain about developers being lazy because they can't seem to hit 1080P and 60 fps for every game. Many, many games are sacrificing 60 fps and targeting 30 fps in favor of upgrading the graphics. Even Naughty Dog, the developer of some of the best looking PS games has recently stated that 60fps in Uncharted 4 may not happen. The game The Evil Within actually used letterboxing, supposedly to increase the cinematic quality in the game, but most believe it was to not tax the system.

                Ramone mentioned that it took them many years to get the game looking as good as it did on the PS3 and that it would take them years to get the PS4 version as good as it can get. I believe him. I also believe that if you want better AI or uniforms that have more realistic textures or flap in the wind then something else is going to have to be sacrificed because at the end of the day the PS4, while more powerful than the PS3 is still not running top of the line hardware and still has limitations.
                Some good points.

                Although we are only 14 months into the PS4 era. Its not unreasonable to expect major improvement in the years ahead.

                    FYI for Year-2-year saves all of the MLB players will have their new unique skin tones. They won't bring over the old ones.

                          How is it that baserunners running thru first base still don't always touch the bag?? It happens when the runner is already out and coasting, but there's not one player who doesn't still touch down on the bag when running or jogging thru.

                            I was wondering when someone was going to mention that. That is one change I am bummed about. Leaves you a little blind to what is going on.

                                I play this way already and forces you to look over at runners and less and screen is more
