Re: Anybody else still on the edge about buying?

Do I need to do a Gamestop Pre-Order in store to get the bonus packs, or can I do that online?

I was thinking of running over to the store today/tomorrow to lock in a copy before the release, just wanted to know if I need to.

Re: Anybody else still on the edge about buying?

I"m leaning toward a pre-order purchase, but still somewhat reluctant to pull the trigger. Aside from my main issue of not really sinking time into gaming, the other main concern for me is how will the game run on a regular PS4? Framerate was OK in 17, but as they push limits of the system more with the Pro in the picture, I worry.

And buying a Pro just ain't gonna happen when I play a couple hours a week if I'm lucky.

Nope, day one pick up still. Solid game.

I won't be buying it during the launch window this year and will most likely wait until a price drop honestly. This is mostly due to time and waiting to see what the jury is on this years release before I dive in.

If I didn't want that Judge cover so bad I wouldn't have pre-ordered and definitely would have waited...

Re: Anybody else still on the edge about buying?

I guess it all depends on what you are looking for in the game, personally I think it gets better every year and is always a day 1 buy for me. Don't tell SDS but I would pay $200 for the game without even thinking about it as with all the hours of enjoyment I get out of it I feel like I am stealing from them now lol . I am not loaded with cash by any means but truth is this game saves me money because I don't have to go out and do something else to entertain myself ! Can't wait for Friday !!

The Show being a PS4 exclusive is one reason why I got a PS4 in the first place definitely not the main reason but still I find myself wanting and expecting more out of this game because it is an exclusive product. The PS3 is when I fell in love with the series and literally wanted other sports titles to follow in The Shows footsteps but the transition from PS3 to PS4 wasn't as huge of a leap I expected it to be, I mean I am still upset with the player bodies and cloth physics not getting any love this generation, for goodness sake in a few years the PS5 will be out and the show still looks the same graphically as the PS3 version outside of better color and higher resolution, I found myself buying last years game just because Griffey was on the cover smh.


With all that said I cant keep buying the Show every year like I used to until I see more then just minor upgrades.

After watching the streams this is the least excited I can remember being for release. I cannot even guess what they spent most off the season working on. There is no major improvements or editions. I am a franchise guy and it seems like they overlook this part of the game year after year.

Re: Anybody else still on the edge about buying?

Im still unsure, whether to buy or not. Debating whether to go with OOTP, instead of MLBTS this yr. I just havent heard enough about Franchise mode, yet that has sold me. Sure what I have heard I like, but its seemingly obvious to me anyway, that there main focus is no longer Franchise, its about fantasy gimic modes like that DD mode they seem to be all about. And thats fine, while I love the pitcher/batter battle that MLBTS gives us each yr, I love a more realistic simulation even more. So thats why Im seriously leaning on OOTP this yr. I may still end up with MLBTS, but as of now, they havent sold me due to lack of a better Franchise mode. So I will wait and see what people say about it, before Im suckered into buying it.

The past few years, the game has gotten stale to me. I want to get it but my head is saying no.

Re: Anybody else still on the edge about buying?

I've pre-ordered (and now pre-loading ) every year since 10 and I bought a PSP for this game in 2006.

Every year. It's my game.

Re: Anybody else still on the edge about buying?

Anyone else also bothered by the new rating system? Like, how the heck isn't Mike Trout a 99 Overall? He's one of, if not the best player to come around in 15+ years. He's finished Top 4 in MVP voting in 6 straight years including 2 1st place trophies. Sorry but if Trout's not a 99, then who the heck should be? Might as well max out at 96. May seem to small to some people but that's another thing that is contributing to me being on the edge.

Re: Anybody else still on the edge about buying?

Well after watching the twitch leak, same game. Still terrible commentary, same floaty pitches. Uhhhh...disappointing!

I think 99 would imply near-perfection which Trout simply does not approach, for instance he strikes out a lot
