Re: Not impressed with the Personalized animations....

I only want the best for this series

If this is true, then you need to understand that there are only so many hours available in a development cycle and it is impossible to do everything in one year. SCEA (like any other software development shop) must prioritize which new features they think they can deliver (preferably bug free) and which new features must remain on the wish list for future titles. If SCEA had only given us a roster update in 2015, then I am sure there would be plenty of people saying "the game is a joke". But this is not the case. While still far from perfect, the 2015 PS4 version of "MLB The Show" will be the best baseball game ever delivered to the masses thanks to the efforts of SCEA and hopefully many many new features (perhaps more personalized player animations) will find their way into the 2016 iteration. I seriously don't know why anyone could say with a straight face that "MLB The Show" is a joke.

PS: I'm historically not even a Baseball person, but "MLB The Show" has made me appreciate the game so much more since I've been playing it.

Re: Not impressed with the Personalized animations....

You have to have a great game before you worry about things like personalized animations. I get so frustrated seeing people complain that captain patches aren't in the right spot or there is no Nike logos in the game, stuff like that. Some people seem more worried about that stuff instead of playing a great game. I would much rather have a great playing game then worry about if they have the most up to date all-star uniform.

Yes, like the guy that said that the Yankees numbers are in the right spot, I'm not buying the game this year. Like really something that minimal will make you not buy a game. And as others have said you need to have a great game in all aspects before worrying about personalized animations. And with this it means working with online. I don't know the issues because I don't play online. Or working on making a better franchise and career mode. This could be adding career stats, giving RTTS a more lifelike approach. This could be adding in actual coach interactions like in 2K, press conferences after games or an interview with a commentator after the game. And then after you have perfected things like this worry about where numbers on a jersey should be correctly, and personalized walk-ups.

It is a video game bro that has limitations. You want real emotion watch a real game. Also I don't know If emotion is real different from the show15 and real life lol. Most players do the same thing as others players. I only remember Bonds snag grabbing a ball. And even the Show has that now.

Re: Not impressed with the Personalized animations....

The reason you haven't seen a lot of special animations is because in all the streams they were playing on fast play. They said it themselves during the streams that you will see a lot more personal animations and emotion animations if you're playing in broadcast, not fast play. Maybe pay attention next time before you come on here crying.

After the release of MLB 15 does SCEA start right away on MLB 16? Does it take a whole year to make this game? If so, I've got mad respect for the developers. That's commitment!

from my understanding they do a couple of patches, stand by for any major issues and then take a short vacation and start right away on the next iteration. They dont have much down time between support for the new release and the production for next year

Ramon mentioned in one stream that one thing he dislikes about the game is the "7 month development cycle" So I'm guessing they start near the end of regular season..

Well you have to remember the game came out May of last year so the post release time still dedicated to 14 would have gone much deeper into the season then it will this year.

If you happen to find it, send me the Powerball numbers for the next few months.

I think Ramone said in the last stream that they started on MLB 16 in 3 weeks.

I did notice Justin Upton's follow through is wrong. He uses both hands, not one. Ah well, nothing that can't be fixed thanks to player edit.

Re: Not impressed with the Personalized animations....

This game is "broken" and it hasn't even come out yet! if you don't like the game go play call of duty. This game is going to be great. Lean back, relax, and knock a couple dingers over the wall
