For Better or Worse, The Show is in the Details

[ShaiLeGran]

As an European guy, who grew up with soccer, you gotta love all the tiny details they put in The Show. It's probably more for the purists then the casual gamers, but still, it is a great, great game. Maybe it sounds a bit goofy, but I like the new font they used for all the menu and in-game text. Makes it feel fresh to me. I do think the graphics look almost the same as last year, but then again, so does FIFA's and NBA2K's. Also, I would really like some new cut scenes in the game and perhaps some post-game interviews like NBA2K.

I still wonder if the cut-scenes pan out in 60fps this year or if it's still choppy-choppy again..

Nevertheless, looking forward to playing The Show 15

The developers of this game listen to the community more than anyone else out there. This is why the game gets better and better every year.

I thought you guys were on vacation for a couple weeks?

Yeah I'm supposed to be on break.

Analog pitching has been my go to for years now. I use the Pitcher/Outfield view. As a former college/pro pitcher, no other pitching mode in gaming has represented pitching as well IMHO, and that's going back to early '80s!

Which single player pitching mode do the Devs prefer?

[SDwinder]

It would be great for a 2 player online or offline game to have a split screen view. Pitcher view/Catcher view

I'm hoping that when we are in replay mode that we can pull the camera back into the stands. That's always bugged me...

Last year's game was the first Show I've ever bought and I was a big fan of it. To me these details and time that's taken to make this game is what makes it great. I wish other companies would take that approach like these guys do. I'm excited for this game to come out.

Is the original joe mauer stance in the game?

Re: For Better or Worse, The Show is in the Details

I'm only casually interested in baseball and have found the gameplay mechanics of the show frustrating (being able to actually get hits while playing on a challenging level), but as someone who's number one game is soccer and FIFA I so envy the depth and attention to detail in the show. The visual presentation (not the audio) and the attention to detail for rules and depth of experience for franchise blows FIFA out of the water. I also love the transparency of promotion for the Show to the managed snippets EA gives us for FIFA.

Blows Fifa out of the water? I don't agree with that all

It's pretty obvious to me that 15 is the tipping year. 16 is just going to be an all-around masterpiece imo. Full dev cycle. No as rushed as before and as said above they have built so many new layers into the tapestry that 16 should be a year of microdetail all around. It's going to be glorious to see what they come up with. 15 is already so much better than what we had on PS3....

Well said, my wishlist has almost been completely demolished with this years installment so I don't know what 16 will bring but "masterpiece" could probably cover it

ALL GAMES should be made for the aficionados. Let the lazy fair weather kids be followers like always. Make the passionate true fans happy first and the rest will come.

Well I have to say the franchise/GM mode has me very interested,I'm really hoping it has changed for the better and the improved lighting and overall graphics that Russell and the devs have been touting! I'm very disappointed once again that you still don't have the option to play with the roofs closed with the retractable roof stadiums,even after its been a highly requested by the fans! I was watching the graphics Twitch stream the other day and the question was asked to Russell about still not being able to play with the roofs closed,he just basically skipped around the whole question and gave no kind of answer to the question! That kinda ticked me off I have to say!

Can't wait to get a game going!
I'm still going to be asking for the MOM broadcast cam to be a camera you can use in franchise until it's either there or I'm dead.....

From this thread:

• We know how to do closed dome stadiums, the resource commitment hasn't been worth it for our dev team yet.
