MLB 15 The Show Stream: Character Artists Deep Dive and a Full Game

Re: MLB 15 The Show Stream: Character Artists Deep Dive and a Full Game

I’m pumped for all these streams! Makes me want the game now but also helps pass the time before release. Definitely better than how most games are released where we have to find out everything once we get our hands on the game. I will finally get to tune in live tonight and possibly tomorrow.

Yeah, I really appreciate SDS taking the time out of their schedule to demo the game. I was already sold but this is icing on the cake.

This game looks gorgeous!

Yes it does...even without your doctored sky.

(though, like you, I'd like to see those deep blues fading to black better represented in the game as well)

You wouldn't see other developers putting out this much information and gameplay before their game is released. Show's how much confidence they have in their product, and a beautiful polished product at that. You guys are hands down my favorite developers. Love what I am seeing with this game. You guys have done a fantastic job. Thanks Sony San Diego!

Re: MLB 15 The Show Stream: Character Artists Deep Dive and a Full Game

Since this was the stream that dealt with art and player models/characteristics I was wondering if Ramone or SLAB, or anyone else who has been present at the fans presentations pre release, could answer my question?

Has it ever been mentioned or considered to get to a point where players can have hair and/or facial hair that changes throughout a franchise. Think Ben Wallace in the early 2000's NBA 2K series, his hair would randomly change from cornrows to afro and vice versa.

It would be kinda like dynamic weather but with hair. For example there are certain players who will begin to grow out their stubble or a full beard come playoff time or players who have long hair but may cut it short only to grow it out again.

Now obviously this is not a priority seeing as how it would only truly be visible to players who play deep into a franchise. I'm sure I'm not the first to have this idea but I've always wished that one day developers could get to a point where this level of realism is possible and maybe even possible to see players age or hair start to grey or thin out for a play who plays 10 or 15+ seasons (this is a wish for all sports games but would be most visible in NBA or MLB less in NHL and NFL games due to the equipment worn over the head).

What do you guys think? Any chance outside of a pipe dream?

I am not speaking for anyone but my own thoughts....

I would like to see this as well...BUT

1. I know facial hair and such is hand drawn so technology would have to improve.

2. I don't know if SCEA can legally change a players likeness in a game.

LOL, most of that has been Ramone mashing through, out of frustration.

I agree with both of your points, I guess it would have to be a guy could have a clean shaven face or full beard (wouldn't be a the most realistic but would still be semi immersive).

And your second point I imagine is 100% true

Re: MLB 15 The Show Stream: Character Artists Deep Dive and a Full Game

I'm loving this new uniform logic. There won't be a need for the uniform tables this year because it should be accurate in the game.

Re: MLB 15 The Show Stream: Character Artists Deep Dive and a Full Game

some true presentation gameplay would be nice and not having to see button mashing through every cutscene lmao

Maybe the reason they skip though the presentation is because there really is not anything new to show off to you guys. Not being funny but Just play MLB 14,13 12,11 The Show and so on and you pretty much have seen what MLB 15 The Show presentation has in store for you.

The only one who's been skipping through cutscenes is Ramone because he's a "button-masher." I'm the same way, once you get into a habit of it, it's hard to stop. They've shown other gameplay without skipping though, and there's definitely some new presentations. It doesn't look like a huge overhaul though like so many people here want

All that sounds nice on paper but we are not seeing it in these videos. Well maybe some of you are but I am not that's for sure. Again I do not hate the current presentation I just think it got old and needs a pretty big refresh.

The best thing that I can see that was added to the presentation for 15 is the new "Inside The Show" feature which I think has a lot of potential. But that is just an audio presentation feature. What I am looing for is more of a visually presentation upgrade!

Re: MLB 15 The Show Stream: Character Artists Deep Dive and a Full Game

It was june in the stream and there was no Koji & Big Papi in top 10 Red Sox players. Does this mean that 39 yo players still regress -20 in 2 months?
