I don't really think the Show needs pace rules implented unless a drastic rule like a timer is implemented by the MLB. Those two you mentioned would not enhance the game in any way.

Agreed I can get through a full game in a hour or so.

I really hope the MLB doesn't implement quick counts in an attempt to draw in new fans haha.

hah, i wouldn't put it past MLB to do this, lol...

Correct, I was kind of surprised they did not keep it consistent by offering it the same option set up while pitching.

Hmmm that's too bad, hopefully next year!

Are all instant replays still in slow motion this year?

The running ones I saw at the event were. If I recall correctly from the stream the other night, I thought some of the pitch replays were done in real time.

I watched about 3 innings of the last stream but they all looked slowed down to me.

Hopefully real time is in this year.

Not only would I love to see some real time replays, but I'd also like to see some with the original sound from the play too! Especially on big home runs and strikeouts where the crowd goes nuts!

All the replays last year and before I think were all slowed down and muted, aside from commentary (unless I'm mistaken which is definitely possible).

Re: MLB 15 The Show (Community Day Gameplay Q&A Thread)

^ Well The Show has always done slow-motion replays, but coincidentally (unless they actually took my advice), the year I suggested they retain the background/commentary noise during slow-motion replays and not play slowed down sound, they actually implemented that. This is authentic to real life broadcasts.

However, I also suggested they include real speed replays, just as you suggested... and in those replays, the sound from the replay should be included. Don't think that is in this year though.

I'd stop watching baseball if they implemented quick counts

Re: MLB 15 The Show (Community Day Gameplay Q&A Thread)

Has anything been done to balance the speed of outfielders vs baserunner's or ball physics, so we see more doubles on hits down the line/corners?

I know outfielder routes have been adjusted but I remember this happening a few years ago as well but it didn't seem to have much effect.

Whatever the answer is, it will take more than that to make this happen the way we want it to. Outfield positioning and momentum physics (for throws) are the two big ones. The other thing is just how outfielders are able to sprint and catch a ball on the ground at the same time, which is really hard to do in real life and ill-advised.

Re: MLB 15 The Show (Community Day Gameplay Q&A Thread)

So your saying not to expect any improvement this year?

Scea should take a look at PYS (well I'm sure they already have). That part of their game is about as good as it can get.

Maybe possibly add a slight speed burst like they have in their game by tapping the two shoulder buttons to mimic a runner's extra burst of speed he gives on those type of hits. Just a a thought.

They did rework routes, though I didn't see it perfectly replicated in the first video when Puig kept getting to the ball. There are of course also sliders that can work a little bit on some of these things, and perhaps the routes are done by the game's knowledge of the outfielder's speed at that time, which would be a really cool algorithm if done right.

The fact sheet also hasn't mentioned anything about separation between dirt and grass, which is why the ball maintains speed down the line because of that first hop hitting dirt. Top spin is also a big reason, and I fully believe this game has top spin/back spin on balls in the air, though I do not have any evidence that it affects the ball once it hits the ground.

This does still need to be worked on, though. Like, not saying they aren't addressing it well enough or anything because I'm sure this part is bloody difficult, but I hope they don't take one step forward by taking two steps back. In other words, the way to address this is not by making outfielders run slower down the lines than in the gaps, or something like that (if that makes sense).

Re: MLB 15 The Show (Community Day Gameplay Q&A Thread)

I have a question on a very minor nitpick here:

Did they tweak the way Matty V says created player names? You know how there's that little delay from first name to last name? It just sounds a little unnatural from the guys that are in the game already. Would like more natural flow.

LOL, like I said, very minor nitpick, but I'm not aware if it's been brought up at all. If not, no big deal. Thanks!

I don't know if they have or not but I'm hoping they did. Like you said, its not a big deal, but it is noticeable.
