    Re: MLB The Show 18 Gameplay Features Revealed (22 minutes)

    Forgive me if this has already been mentioned in this thread but I noticed the 2nd base ump's animation is exactly the same as 17 and I think 16. He always looks over his shoulder before every pitch. WHY OH WHY SDS???

      The 2nd base umpire is involved in some shady business in the offseason and since he knows that retaliation is sure to come, he finds himself constantly looking over his shoulder in anticipation of being attacked, instead of paying attention to the game like he is supposed to do.

        The game looks great from what I saw today. I do have one MAJOR issue, and that is with the score bug. Is it really necessary that it keeps flashing MLB The Show 18 on the right side of the score bug after fouls and balls in play. It is REALLY distracting to the eye. Maybe this can be removed?

          Tbh i don't think the pitching motions are looking that great this year. They still aren't paying nearly enough attention to landing position. Sonny Gray lands drastically towards 1st base off balance every pitch. But in the game he lands square pretty much.




          Same thing with Robbie Ray, they don't pay attention too much to the end of the delivery, follow through




          To me that's one of the biggest aspects of the delivery, it'd also serve them well to pay attention to the glove position in general, they still don't have it tucked in.

              This is not just directed at you.

              Nothing wrong with constructive criticism. Calling people haters when they simply state their opinion is frowned upon here.

              The non constructive criticism and trolling will be dealt with by the mods.

              The whole attacking posters who say negative things about the game will not be tolerated this year.

              again, this is not just directed at you. but everyone in this forum.

                Let me tell you why my thing is more important than your thing. You should be a political analyst.

                  the net behind homeplate should be made of much thinner strings. been a real eyesore for years.

                  what was worse last year was the nearly indivisible net at seafco field. strange nobody else is bothered by this. hope they fixed it. it is nothing like that on tv either. imo there shouldn't be such inconsistencies graphicwise.

                    Yes, I understand that. My point was that there is always are rush to judge an unfinished product that is in process as Ramone has stated . Let us give them a chance to show what is new for this year before making any judgements or criticisms of the game.JMHO

                      Finally got a chance to really sit down and pay attention to the video. Game looks good to me and seems fluid. And I am really liking the changes that have been mentioned thus far in the few videos that have been released. The catcher animations alone are a HUGE fix from last year.

                      My only bugaboo is the handedness of the batter showing up on the batter walkup.

                      Really looking forward to hearing more about gameplay on Thursday.

                        Really hoping they're hiding a broadcast fielding cam till the presentation Twitch stream. I won't necessarily hold my breath, though; Russell made mention about new camera additions, but only hitter and cut scene related. We'll see.

                        This looks good. Wish night games looked just as good. And get used to seeing a lot of Yankees, Astros, and likely next the Dodgers in these streams.

                          The one thing I dislike about the streams is they never mix up the teams much. Hell, show Oakland or Kansas City for all I care. Just something different than the Yankees or Dodgers.

                            I think rain delays are doable but I'm less sure rescheduled makeup games from rainouts will be on the table anytime soon. Which makes me wonder, if I play a game that goes, say 45 innings, shouldnt that bump into my next game? That would be an interesting experiment.

                              I also wish they'd pay some attention to where the pitcher sets up on the rubber (and let us move pitchers from first base side to third base and back again).

                                People are allowed to criticize the game off of what we have seen so far. We have seen a trailer and gameplay. So why shouldn't people be able to give their opinion on it, good or bad?

                                I'm sure some stuff will be cleared up in the remaining development time. But the fact is, the game will not see any wholesale changes before launch. So again, nothing wrong with pointing out the negatives along with the positives.

                                If you feel that shouldn't be the case then that's fine, but this forum is for discussion on the positives and negatives.
