Nice to see a Dev chimming in about the red.
Now lets hope they see what most of us see and fix it!

That's one of the reason I've been a fan of this series. The Devs actually do care. I remember several years ago I wrote a blog about the importance of the Rule 5 draft and why I felt it needed to be included in the game. (It was even featured on the main page of this site.) The next year the Rule 5 draft was in MLB The Show for the first time. I don't know if I played a role in it being added, but I always like to think I was.

One thing that has always been clear to me about the The Show team is they care about their product. It might not always be perfect but at least the team does care.

Wow! I can't believe not one new classic stadium! Obviously, their emphasis are on other things. Also, why bother with weather, if there are no rainouts or doubleheaders? Also, it would be best if it was real-time weather!

I would not count on getting any more classic stadiums any time soon!

If you noticed the classic stadiums we got last year were already in previous MLB The Show games. I do not think SDS wants to pay lots of money for the rights new ones I am guessing.

As far as the rain delays I am pretty sure SDS just added that because so many kept begging them for it year after year and they finally gave in. However from what I can tell it does not look to impressive to me and may have been created really quickly and just thrown in. And that cut scene I saw should have been much much better! Like for example showing the tarp being put on the field and maybe some shots of the fans with ponchos, umbrellas and also showing some fans run for cover! And last why did the manager come out to talk to the umpires? Honestly and I mean no disrespect to SDS because I really do love these guys but the rain delay cut scene looked terrible and boring!

Luckily for me I could care less about rain delays but I do feel kind of bad for the ones who were dying for this feature. And they finally get it but it looks very bland.

It really is a great feature. And there are some guys on this forum that really help make it shine. If you take advantage of the work put in by guys like Lowlighthabit & CujoMatty (see here), then the immersion factor of playing in different stadiums is really magnified.



It does take a while to set up on your end after you download all of the sound files from the guys here, but going to different stadiums and hearing stadium sounds and/or player walkups that are true to that place and that team? It really adds a whole other dimension to the game.

I can not play the game without them. Immersion level goes to 11.

It is an amazing feature and I am so pumped I can set my in between inning music for theme 1 and theme 2 and leave The MLB Network theme music alone.

Awesome.

You never know. They've definitely had a resurgence with Diamond Dynasty, and maybe with all the new legends and new legend teams, they might see an incentive to get more in the future.

Sounds of the Show help make the game. If you've ever been to one of the stadiums, there is nothing like hearing actual walkup music and in between inning music you'd hear while there. You can also sprinkle in some crowd chants and other stadiums sounds as well. I highly recommend you check it out. But be warned, you'll have a hard time ever playing the game without it again.

I always loved the idea of sounds of the show. But I never use it because it just takes way to much time to add all the sound files for every team.

I really wish there was a way to download sound packs for each team and they could be installed with one click

Yeah I'm never able to finish all the teams, last year I only finished about 10 teams. It just is such a long process. I'd love if there was a vault or something for it, but that's impossible from both a technical and legal standpoint.

Re: MLB The Show 18 - Twitch Stream - Batting Stance Creator & The Little Things (LIV

I don't even think you can do every team. There's only so many slots.

I remember years ago there was a MVP Baseball Mod for PC which changed everything Sounds, Presentations and so on and it could all be added with just coping one big file!

It can be done if you use CujoMatty's packs (which have three songs per track to save space) and only do player and stadium sounds. If you start adding chants and yells and stuff you'll probably run out of room.

Those are the ones I use. Didn't know if you can do every team or not. I might have not done it because it does take forever lol. If that is the case, then I'm for sure going to do every team this year.

Yeah but that's an unofficial mod for a pc game. With the way SOTS works for The Show on PS4 there's no way to share the music files.

Really I was not even aware of that.

I guess if I did ever use Sounds of the show I could do it just for my favorite team I use the most.

As far as the rain delays I am pretty sure SDS just added that because so many kept begging them for it year after year and they finally gave in. However from what I can tell it does not look to impressive to me and may have been created really quickly and just thrown in.

So, there are two parts to this bit that I want to chime in on:

First off, you may be right in that they implemented this because it was a highly requested feature, but it's not necessarily like they were stubbornly declaring "No!" with their arms folded in wake of such suggestions. They may not have had the proper resources to make this happen when they wanted to.

Secondly, your reaction is probably exactly a part of it: it's not fully done, and maybe they didn't want to get it out there until it was fully done. I mean don't get me wrong, it doesn't look fantastic to me either (or maybe even to the developers who want to do more on it), but you figure that with what they have now they wanted to settle the impatient folk a little bit and keep improving it year after year, much like most of their features (though replays haven't gotten more love, as I understand it).

Lastly, and this is not directed at you at all but your post made me think about it, is you wonder that with all of the things that they do tell us, it makes you wonder how many things we're kept in the dark about. Like, in a good way. Like, the developers really really want to tell us about their plans, but they can't because they have to wait until they can put it in the game.

I said earlier that even they would love a create-a-stadium! Don't you think they probably have one or two guys off to the side and going to the drawing board to figure out how to get this in the game the right way? But they can't tell us that. They can't let us know that they're trying to do something and just make people nagging in an upset manner that it's not in yet. It still may take them ten more years, but they want to release that information publicly when they feel the need to as it is robust enough. Who knows how long they've really been working on a good rain delay system, or retractable roof stadiums (which don't feature collision detection, by the way) or a strong replay system?

But comments like yours, and again I'm not picking on you at all just using an example, is likely why most things have to be hush-hush as they work diligently on those projects until they're ready to come out. I don't know how far they want to go with the feature, but I can't imagine that postponements and doubleheaders are the easiest thing to get to work right without any bugs.

I can't tell you how many years it took to get certain wishes that I've always had, but I'm not going to blame them even once for lack of effort. It's just about what they plan for. That's why I keep bringing those things up, in hopes that someday they'll come in. Whether it's new things this year like create-a-batting stance, post-swing PCI movement, stadium bleachers... or things I'm still looking for like an authentic broadcast fielding cam, improved hit variety, grass/dirt physics differentiation, proper night skies, overhauled player models (probably not till next-gen), different stances for switch-hitters, zero-stitch "madlib" commentary, a brand new PA announcer, archived player accolades for franchise mode, dynamic offset batting cameras, no more splotchy grass... I mean the list goes on forever. They gotta do what they gotta do, and I respect that. Sometimes I'm less pleased to find out that they kind of like it the way that it is and don't want to change it, but they have a small team and a difficult task.

I will cut them some slack. To be honest, I don't even like playing in games when it's rainy or overcast, mostly because there is no chance of being very dynamic (or less in previous years, at least). It is what it is, though. I think they'll continue to improve it for years to come, but it's probably not as easy as it seems either.

For the brand equipment people like me,

Looks like during the gameplay portion that Bregman is possibly wearing the new Nike Huraches but since they are mainly all black I can't quite tell. He's also wearing Marrucci gloves but I think a lot of people know about that already.

I'm hoping to see Nike catcher equipment this year, I mean, there's a lot of catchers using it.
