MLB The Show 18 Gameplay Trailer and More Details

Re: MLB The Show 18 Gameplay Trailer and More Details

I guess I'll be the first "that guy".

Meh. It didn't wow me. I think this series would be refreshed 100% if they just redid the player models completely with real cloth physics. That being said, I'll wait for the reviews before buying this year. No pre-order for me (first time ever).

I always find it funny when people say stuff like that about baseball, I'm not saying it's perfect by a long shot, but the only other game I play is hockey and it's players models are straight up **** compared to mlb the show

Need to fix the rocket bunts. The other major issue is the base stealing logic is way to over powered towards the runner...it's way to easy to steal bases...particularly third (yes even against a slide step/fastball). Hopefully the animation rework fixes that.*

I find base stealing an absolute pain in the ***, it has nothing to do with you, the cpu seems to just run my guy whenever they feel like it

Nothing really stood out for me, All looks pretty much the same
Red still looks dull and it looks like they may have finally fixed stitching on Alt Jersey

Excited about Babe Ruth and all, but I'm bugged by his player model, because it's just a skinned player model they've been using for many many years now. Specifically, the hand. I think that hand has been used for years. It looks so unnatural and as if it's a freely hanging on the wrist joint with the fingers curled under and the index finger slightly bent.. for goodness sake, change the dang player models already.

Serious question here.. What specifically do you want to be changed about the player models?

Trailer did not wow me. Models look okay IDK. It all looks very much the same. We'll have to see how it looks in person.

To be honest even I am getting tired of looking at the grass lol. I mean it looks better, but still retains way too much of that terrible shading they have been using for like a decade lol. Why do they insist on the game looking this way? That black shading to the pale grass just does not look right to me at all, and the colors are still way off.

I don't know what to think. This game needs a big overhaul in too many areas. That trailer was all yay homeruns and stuff.

I don't exactly know. There's something about either the models or animations of the models that still looks pasted together and not very natural, and they seem to not be fundamentally different than they were several years ago. It's hard to describe really but it's a feeling I've gotten since I started playing on PS4. It's like I'm playing a PS3 game that's prettier or something.

It's definitely the animations. You are spot on that they are not natural and pasted. Its been that way since the first game on PS3 with no improvement so I doubt it will ever change until there is a changing of the guard.

Like there's no weight to the animations?

What does that phrase even mean? They're animations created from real people performing the movements in real life (mocap). How do they not have weight?

Trying to understand what some folks find fault in year in and year out that I don't.

They just done move right, especially at the plate. A great example of how off batter movements are in this video is Goldy, Peralta and Didi. If you watch them in game vs in real life the load and strides arent even close. Goldy has a leg lift in the show, where did they even come up with that since hes never had one. If the guy in the mo-cap suit cant imitate players motions any better than we have gotten over the last 10 years then they need someone new.

I think they are referring to momentum. Certain throws give the appearance that it is not a factor even though momentum is a factor in the equation.

Yea, momentum is the word.

Give us real scaled player bodies, or customization beyond two or three body types. For one.

It means rigging motion cap data from a weighted human being to a weightless computer model in a video game isn't perfect.
