Batter strike out animations.......yes!

Re: MLB The Show 18 The Little Things

In franchise, they'll show the home teams hottest hitters in the minor leagues as an overlay. Also, don't know if it was in last year, but the ball boys get out of the way of pop ups...

RTTS Little Thing.....You get credit for a Plate Discipline gain if you take a pitch outside the zone that gets called a strike. So, that means the game KNOWS it's giving you a raw deal because of the Blue, but still rewarding you for the correct action.

I like the little taunts that Moncada does after he lays down a tag when the White Sox catch a runner stealing

Re: MLB The Show 18 The Little Things

As someone who just retired MLB 2k13 to pick up The Show for the first time, I'm sure I'll be posting in here a lot.

Some things I picked up on last night:


-Matt Vasgersian talked about Jon Gray playing for Oklahoma. I would expect this from Madden or 2K, but it was nice for me personally to see a MLB game give a nod to college ball. Same with Dansby & Vandy
-In the same vein and as posted above, Matt V talking about Moylan throwing down under was great.
-Different ballparks have different angles for their bullpen cameras.

Is he referring to the state Gray was born in or the university he attended


Love the flashing bases on homers

Dig all the new animations , things seem a little smoother, especially with fielding. The only "little things" I can't stand are the standing on base celebrations after EVERY hit. I hate showboating in pro sports, and this is rubbing salt in the wounds. Should be toned down a little.

I see your point about the celebrations but for me personally I love all the new emotion that we never had before, JMHO

Re: MLB The Show 18 The Little Things

Just played my first game back at Citi Field, and the planes are back! Also, they started talking about The 7 Line Army, which is a group outing made by a guy who sells shirts and stuff about the Mets. They weren't in the section (normally all orange), but just the mention of it was awesome. The guys even went into detail about it. As someone who has gone to the outings, and is a huge Mets fan, that is just awesome...

Not sure if new or not, but noticed that when playing a day game with partly cloudy skies the sun actually goes in and out behind the clouds creating dynamic lighting throughout the game. Nice touch.

I went into replay a few times.

I threw a fastball with Kluber and you see him sniff during his windup and his mouth distorts when he throws the ball.

You can see sweat running down faces.

I've found myself getting lost in replays quite a few times. You really get to see how much detail is in this game...

Re: MLB The Show 18 The Little Things

I've never used SotS before but this made me jump in.

Sots is the best feature in the game imo, i can honestly say i would not be still playing the show on ps4 if it didn't return in 16.

I have always preferred to have that in the park atmosphere with the music i set for pre game, between innings ect. But now i can also have a tv broadcast style broacast.

Themoneyteam1212 check the sots threads, cujo amd lowlight have tutorials on how to setup sots.

Re: MLB The Show 18 The Little Things

Man, I hope this is true. I have been asking Catcher/Pitcher chemistry since forever.

Good news, I just played another game with Posey catching for my Ace, and once again he was animated and communicative. More so then he has been with any of the other pitchers in the rotation, and I had a few off days this virtual week so he only missed catching #5 (which is usual, he normally catches 1, 2, 4). Fingers crossed it's not another fluke.

Re: MLB The Show 18 The Little Things

I love the more personalized presentation elements

I just hope a lot of this stuff is dynamic. I have only been playing play now games and have heard comments about how a player is a 8 year vet ect. My only worry is that this commentary is only for play now and in franchise we wont hear these comments or they won't update each season. I also hope these comments are added for created players/drafted players.
