I'm pretty sure Dock Ellis was shown in one of the screencaps OS had up. Has he been in DD before??

The more I watch these gameplay videos the more I'm enjoying what I'm seeing. Everything just seems so smooth/fluid. And personally I think it looks pretty darn good.

In '17 when pitching from behind the pitcher, it seemed as though the hitter would swing in slow motion and would always appear to be late on the pitch. I'm not seeing that in these early game play videos.

Also welcoming to hear that the catcher got new animations (100 I think Ramone said). Very much needed, because one of the turnoffs to me last year was the fact that balls in the dirt were automatic base advancement.

And I'm really eager to see the changes to hitting/ball physics. Last year it felt off. Now its hard to tell anything in that regard with these videos and will require hands on play to see if the feeling returns to what I felt with hitting playing '16.

Can't wait to hear more tomorrow during the gameplay stream.

Was the game that smooth on OG PS4 last year? If the smoothness is because of Pro, I may really think hard about getting one.

I didn't play 17 on the OG PS4, so I couldn't compare, but compared to 16 on the original PS4, the smoothness of High Frame Rate mode on the PS4 Pro cannot be overstated. It plays incredibly at a rock solid 60 fps during gameplay, with only slight occasional hitches during cutscenes. It was the reason I bought a Pro and I don't regret it one bit.

Honestly I haven’t played much of ‘17 to say definitively one way or another

Why does the second base umpire always look back at center field and touch the top of his head before every pitch still in MLB The Show 18?

Why can't they add a few new animations for him?

I also notice batters running to first base touch the top of their head a lot too.

Lots more animations are really needed for these kind of gameplay moments!

I already asked that question earlier ITT and got made fun of.

Made fun of really?

Well in my opinion when you keep seeing the same animations over and over again it makes the game look a lot less life like!

One more issue still is the batter running down to first also hops after crossing the bag sometimes which looks strange and happens more then I would like to see.

I wasn't making fun of you, I was merely making a joke.

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.

John Cena has unfinished business with the second base umpire. You just can't see him!

Yeah, yours was funny but you didn't answer my question and others basically told me it's my problem and no one else cares.

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

I never even look at the 2nd base umpire never actually noticed that

as for umpires I have noticed about 99% of all check swings are NEVER a strike. it has been this way for the past 2 years now. there was a time when I would check swing and be nervous about if I went. now I am never scared because I never ever get called on a strike for a check swing now

Literally no one else responded to you or even referenced your post. No one even came close.

No idea who you are referencing when you are saying "others."

And CB was clearly joking.


Also, you're asking a question that no one here will have an answer to if you were really hoping for one. Seemed like more of a rhetorical question to begin with.
