MLB 15 The Show Trailer - Summer Wind

Re: MLB 15 The Show Trailer - Summer Wind

Anyone else liking the clouds in the sky this year? I don't know what it is, but they just look visually stunning and give the game this "summer time feel". Sorry I don't know how else to describe it.

And my oh my the lighting is amazing!

Oh and also like the shot of the guy throwing grass blades in the air!

Also noticed that it appears that during evening games the lights of the stadium are on and day games they are off. This may have been in last year but I don't remember it!

Have they said anything about possible improvements to franchise mode draft? Where some players have commitments to college and are harder to sign and all? I hope they eventually add that in along with being able to sign free agents to a minor league deal only and having waiver notifications pop up on screen during sim

I did not hear them say anything about this when the song summer wind was playing.

there will be a franchise blog/stream/Q&A session later that these types of questions will be addressed.

Not sure if you mean every stadium has the same color dirt. Or every stadiums warning track and infield dirt is the same color. Either way you are wrong. You can see from the trailer than stadiums have different color infield and track dirt.

Then there is no technical reason for it to not be accurate, right?

Can we at least wait until the game is released before we start making accusations that this or that is wrong/broken/incorrect/etc....?

The game is still a work in progress. Lets just enjoy the information that we are receiving, the videos/trailers that are releasing, and countdown the days until baseball!

What? The fans are saying it's wrong. Then I looked, they seemed to be right. There's an obvious separation between reality and the look in the game. I mean, I'd be frustrated myself if my team's stadium had a problem, and the community manager said "we're not listening to you" when I pointed it out. That's kind of insensitive.

But whatever. It's their game. Neither party is beholden to the other.

As countryboy said, the game is not even released yet. They may not have been finished coloring the dirt at Safeco when they made the trailer, so there's no point in criticizing it until we see the finished game.

As for you being upset with Ramone's post... These devs listen to the community about many facets of their game. They are always being praised for taking a suggestion and throwing it in the game. They showed us in the first stream how they're color matching the grass and dirt of every stadium. So if they have a certain color dirt with certain shadows at a certain time of year and day, then they most likely have a reference point from a real MLB game with those colors. I wouldn't worry about it too much!

It may have come off a little insensitive IF Ramone said it like that, however, he didn't say it like that at all.

I understand possible frustration but it's been stated numerous times that it's a work in progress. Color matching is as accurate as it gets, suggestions on anything having to due with colors of the field honestly won't help them at all.

Let's just all wait to see what the finished product, along with the lighting, does to the coloration

Amazing trailer! If I knew we would ever get a baseball game this level in the RBI '94 days I would crap myself

Holy ****, just saw this as a commercial during the NBA All Star Game!

Although in what seemed like a pretty soft resolution (probably 720p and compressed), the game just breathed gorgeousness! Framerate was varied, though. For instance, most shots were 60 FPS, but then the Wrigley morning shot was 30 FPS, as well as the Wrigley crowd shot. So, still don't know about how cutscenes will end up being for this game.

A DAMN shame what SCEA has done to video baseball. These guys don't get enough credit. Thanks in advance for what I'm sure to be another year of great Baseball

Why not use Frank Sinatra's version? Sorry, I know that's off topic. Lighting is just amazing.

They spent all their money on legends and branded equipment, so they had to settle for Hank Cilantra

His "Greatest Hits" album is excellent, everyone should check it out. His Jazz-lounge cover of "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" is an all time classic.

"There isn't any outside feedback that will be taken or listened to on this particular subject."

Sorry, that's precisely what that means. We're keeping this internal, and we will listen to no one on judgment except for ourselves because we have a specific method of doing this that we completely trust and consider incredibly important. Even if they've made a mistake from the point of view of multiple people. It resembles umpiring before the replay system came into play. Which is their right, of course, but you always hope for a fair and quick shake.

But you know what? This is like walking into a church and telling the people inside that their priest misquoted the Bible during his sermon and he should say it right. They're going to throw bricks, so I'll shut up and stop angering the tribe. It's still a brilliant game.
