    Re: MLB The Show 18 Video - Bat Flips

    I don't mind these are in the game at all, so long as they aren't randomly assigned to other players.

    However, if there were maybe 20 of these, I do wish these were celebration animations #201 - 220 if so, and that there were 200 before it if the more normal variety (or some loud ones but not wacky).

    I doubt this took much development time at all, but if there were 20 other animations somebody might have wanted to see that these "took the place of," I see where they'd have a fit. I'm guessing these were just put in here just because, and it didn't replace anything else.

    That all being said, this is the exact kind of example I was referring to when I made mention of the phases aspect of franchise being put in. They are giving the broader fans what they want when it comes to streamlining a franchise (in that they will only stop you for the "important things"). People who thought I said that Manfred insisted on three-inning games for this game are really kidding themselves, and probably even have to read what I say a whole lot better than that.

      They are only for Create A Player or RTTS.

      They will not be randomly assigned to "generic" players inside franchise/season modes.

        Therefore, I do not mind their inclusion.

          While I feel these over-the-top bat flips are silly and I will never use them, I don't really mind them being in the game. I'm sure kids and some people who play RTTS and DD will enjoy them. I just hope they added more realistic homerun reactions and realistic bat flips. If they spent time mo-capping these extreme ones and didn't add many new realistic ones, it would be pretty disappointing.

            As soon as I saw this I knew some people were gonna lose their minds lol. It’s all motion captured which really didn’t take anyone away from doing other things for more than a day I would guess.  If you really think they didn’t fix colours because they were preoccupied with this then I don’t know what to tell you,

            These are not something I care about but I will never understand the mentality of make things how I want and screw everyone else who might like something goofy like this.

              I don't think that "bat flips" being in cost us something else.



              It is what it is. We can turn it off. If you don't like it, don't use it. It's a great feature for people who like it, for those of us who don't, it's getting turned off and it'll be like it's not even there.



              Really not a big deal.


              See everyone that says it doesn’t take away from other parts of the game or that didn’t take long well it did take dev time resources and memory and is jus adding more arcadey stuff to a game that is leaning more and more that way ..

                It is not like the sim modes (Franchise/RttS/etc.) are gone or will ever be replaced.

                  This stuff is added to bring in the younger or new players. I really don't think the hardcore folks give a 'flip' about this.

                    I have a pretty instinctive feeling after March 8th and March 15th we will have many other people worried about the direction this dev team is taking this game ..

                            I promise you they do not have as many preorders this year that’s why u see it advertise in 17 and they pushing harder for it then in any year before !!! Casual and arcadey have been the priority target well it’s gonna bite them in the butt when offline franchisers quit buying every year .. I promise you if the big thing th y added to franchise is jus 3 inning games and ability to sim to whenever is it this game will not sale million copies this year ..
