Re: MLB 15 The Show OS Community Impressions

Something awesome that I thought was a great addition when it was announced, but until you see it first hand is the fans spread out in the stadium how they would in real life. It's a thing of beauty. I started a fantasy draft franchise with the Rockies to pass the time until OSFM is released, and I'm playing at GABP and Reds fans are scarce in the upper deck and spread out on the lower level. It's something that doesn't mean a dang thing to the gameplay but adds to the immersion of franchise mode with teams who don't sell out every game. This area was a bit annoying the past few years in my Twins franchise and now it is fixed.

The game is just so solid. The lighting will take this game over the top. I'm waiting to play at Target Field until I start my Twins franchise. I just want to be surprised when I finally play a game there.

I tell ya if my few gripes with this game weren't taken out or could be patched back in I don't think I would play another game for a while.

The game is simply amazing!!!
Lighting makes such a big difference. Ballparks look much more realistic and alive.
New fielding animations were much needed and very welcome : look so much better now, again adding to the realism.

Same thing goes for pitching. More movement on fastballs, improved pitching motions....i love it.

Somehow hitting is different as i am not getting a lot of hits. Difference between fastballs and offspeed stuff has improved and really it really messes up my timing. Playing on same difficulty and sliders as 14 and am struggeling.
Again something i love.

They did a great job for this year's game.

Do you really like the pitching motions? I mean, I guess they are an improvement over the jerky, unrealistic garbage of the last few years (look at most of the "veteran windups" for examples) but they still look funky to me. Arm angles look way too stiff and straight, some guys look like they are lobbing it, etc..

Don't like all of them but do see improvement.

Whichever SCEA developer that put in the challenges this year, I wish I could just pay YOU money. It's bloody brilliant and I love the new feature.

Re: MLB 15 The Show OS Community Impressions

First thing I noticed as I'm jumping into my first game, a disappointing amount of updated player headshots. Would it really be that hard to find a picture of Brian McCann (YANKEE) without a beard? Same with Chase Headley.

Still wish you could see how much someone wants in arbitration before you make the offer.

I wholeheartedly recommend that entire album by Porter.

Re: MLB 15 The Show OS Community Impressions

Game is stunning visually. Really digging what they've done with the games looks. I've also noticed some of the new animations and they look very clean. I've yet to get a crack at Franchise Mode. Waiting for OSFM before I even start mine.

My only negative feelings about this game are what they did with Analog Hitting. The Pull back push forward mechanic was one of my favorite aspects of prior games. Despite playing a number of exhibition games I've yet to get it down and I'm really considering switching to the classic approach. I'm either too early or very late. It's my only major complaint when it comes to the game.

Re: MLB 15 The Show OS Community Impressions

Hits up the middle are now fielded by the pitcher at a much more acceptable rate in the 10 games or so I've played. I've seen most go through the middle of the IF without even hitting the pitcher, and I've seen a couple of glancing blows. Only one hot shot so far fielded by the pitcher...

Any chance that we finally get year by year career stats on the back of the player cards?

Re: MLB 15 The Show OS Community Impressions

Can I list about 5-8 things I wish were in the game? Yes, but that you SCEA for making my fav baseball game since MVP 05. In love with the graphics, feel on defense and hitting this year

Re: MLB 15 The Show OS Community Impressions

I've been playing my spring training games in the minor league parks. Lots of variety there.

I thought about that, but I play quite a few of my minor league games, so don't really want to do that, but it did cross my mind. Hopefully next yr we have spring training parks back in thegame, and hopefully more than in the past. NOt a game breaker by any means, but its a little disappointing to only have 1 in each league for ST'ing.
