Love all of the improvements made to the game. The only area that continues to be the achilles heel of this game are the frame rate dips during cutscenes, batter walk ups, presentation, etc... While not as bad or as frequent as last year, it still drops & when it does it sticks out like a sore thumb because the on field play is so smooth. I hope they continue to iron the frame rate out because it's the only thing holding the game back in my opinion. It would also greatly enhance the immersion of the game. Other than that the game is great minus a few bugs here & there.

MLB 15 The Show OS Community Impressions
Would it be weird if this Show game became my Wilson? (Castaway) because I don't think I will be able to part with it.. Ever. It's round like Wilson, I believe I've heard it whisper sweet nothings to me... And i think of it highly. This game may be my new favorite sports title of all time. This game is absolutely AMAZING!
I play dynamic difficulty with all-star fielding.... It plays excellent out of the box! I am playing all of spring training, in hopes my appropriate difficulty level will be set come regular season.
The Show 15 is everything sports games should be!

Re: MLB 15 The Show OS Community Impressions
Using DD default with no sliders, I'm elated to see incredible hit variety, especially balls over the head of the OF and balls down the line.
In 3 games, I got three doubles down the line and several shots over the OF from all different angles.
I also saw several different types of games from my pitchers and the CPU pitchers, including games with low walk and run totals and games with high walk and run totals. Loving the default variety in game play.Comment

Re: MLB 15 The Show OS Community Impressions
The fielding. It still amazes me. What about it is making it so fluid and lifelike? It doesn't feel overhauled, yet it just feels so different and amazing. When I am just moving or seeing the players animate more lifelike in all instances I am just left staring in awe. It's huge to me. It almost gives me a nostalgic feeling that I get when I think of APF 2k8. The fielding in this game is so lifelike I feel the same joy I felt when I played the tar out of APF 2k8.
Sure, it's a weird comparison, but the more I see it, the more I think of 2k8 and how fluid and lifelike that game animated, but then this game is 10x that. There is still some instances that are not the best looking, but overall the locomotion and pure animation of player movements in this game is hands down the best ever in any sports game.“No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.”

Re: MLB 15 The Show OS Community Impressions
Game is better in every way over last years except for in 1 major area! Camera Angles. I don't know if anyone else is having a issue but EVERYTIME I make contact it's going into some wierd zoom state. Doesn't do it when the CPU bats but does when I do and may actually be deciding factor whether or not I go back to 14.Comment

1st day, played a couple of games or so. Loving the dynamic difficulty as well as the new revamped Diamond Dynasty Mode (even though I will probably play mostly offline). Any talks about OS full minors yet? I usually don't start a new franchise until it comes out. I was considering starting up my Astros in MLB 14 the show Franchise, however with the scheduling bug that happens in the second year of the franchise (where series start on saturday; games played on exact same calendar dates) I chose not to. Other than that, I am really excited for another summer of EL SHOW!NCAAM: Wichita State Shockers

Re: MLB 15 The Show OS Community Impressions
I also feel like something is majorly different with fielding. Every year I've played The Show, I've put it on manual fielding within 15 minutes of having the game. This year, I can see myself going assisted fielding for a long time. The camera adjustment is great, as is the decrease in suction fielding.Comment

Re: MLB 15 The Show OS Community Impressions
Loving The Show this year. All the little changes add up to make this the most complete version to date. Absolutely loving the dirt drying, sun dynamic, pitch trajectory, plate coverage on directional hitting, and stadium atmosphere.
Only minor, minor complaint is the shoe color for Tye Waller (Oakland A's first base coach) he's wearing black shoes vs. the white shoes he should be wearing. And since that can't be fixed via manual roster modifications I'm mentioning it here.
Edit: Checked again and I'm seeing all (every team) coaches and managers wearing black shoes."The older I get, the faster I was!"

Re: MLB 15 The Show OS Community Impressions
I've played about 8 games now. Hitting and pitching are so much harder this year. I'm 0-8 haha and getting lit and having trouble even getting base hits.
My profile carried over which started me on legend for both so maybe i'll take it down to learn the new directional hitting. I'm really disappointed they removed Pure Analog from last years game, I can't find out which hitting method I'm going to use this year.Comment

Re: MLB 15 The Show OS Community Impressions
Great so far but watching a CPU/CPU game and noticed a terrible bug
Runner tags up from 2nd after popup to SS behind 2nd Base. SS just pats the ball and does nothing. (CPU-CPU Game)
I recorded the video (in the Show vault) but have no idea how to upload it on the Show website with my bug report.Comment

Re: MLB 15 The Show OS Community Impressions
I reported two horrible bugs already but the bug thread was closed.
I just saw another which is more of a technical issue I believe.
Pitchers with long hair have their hair go from low res to high res when you select the pitch type to throw.
It is annoying because there is a jerkiness to the head of the pitcher and the long hair goes from low res to high rest quickly. Once you notice it the damm thing becomes an eye soarComment

Re: MLB 15 The Show OS Community Impressions
My impressions after playing 4-5 exhibition games today.
- Hitting on my usual All-Star difficulty seems harder this year. Enjoying the challenge.
- Loving the new feel of fielding. More realistic and noticed lots of new and welcomed fielding animations.
- Digging the new cutscenes and presentations that show off more of the parks and show emotion from the players in clutch situations.
- The menus during the batting/pitching screen will take some getting used to. Will enjoy the faster access to the information once I get more familiar with it and what buttons correlate with specific info/feedback.
-Last but not least, my favorite feature of this years game...the lighting! Man, this is very impressive. It shows off the beauty of the parks and the environment inside and out. Playing a afternoon game w/partly cloudy skies at Progressive. Sun was beaming down on the batter during the middle of the game. One batter later, the clouds pass over and the lighting on the batter dims and its a bit darker at the plate. Very, very cool. Gonna love this lighting system over the course of seasons in franchise.
This game is definitely on the right track of looking and playing like a next gen baseball game. Kudos to another great game from our friends at SCEA and hope all you guys enjoy this game as much as I have so far.Comment
