    What Happend to the Entire 7th Inning Stretch?

    I thought I read or saw a video that MLB18 would have the entire 7th inning stretch. Is there a setting that allows this? Thanks in advance.

    You only get to hear the opening few bars. Same as it ever was.

    Into the blue again, after the money's gone. Same as it ever was.

      Absolutely nothing has changed with the 7th inning stretch, even though they advertised multiple times that it was added for stadium atmosphere.

          would've been nice to have the full song with the option of skipping it. They really advertised it as being the full song? Why the hell would they then remove it? Corporate MLB probably got their grubby hands in it somehow, saying they own it or something idiotic like that.

              I don't think this is an MLB issue, but it gives me a chance to rant for a minute. MLB is its own worst enemy, and a complete conundrum. Revenue is at an all time high, as they continue to water down the game and make changes that annoy the core fan base. How does this happen, and how long can it be sustained?

                  I am not 100% certain but i think it was 14, first year on ps4, they did a interview/blog with a musician/organ player and talked about how he recorded all this great organ music for the game ect. and a full 7th inning stretch. When the game was released i didn't recall hearing anything extra regarding organ music nor was there a full 7th inning stretch. though i do remember some people on ps3 claiming there was a full 7th is.

                    I think The Show is going in somewhat contradictory efforts in this regard.

                    On one hand, the stadiums, the presentation and all these "little things" continue to be improved and added to make the in-game atmosphere better each year.

                    However, the overall direction of the game has been to basically shorten the playing time and make things happen quicker and quicker as much as possible, effectively nullifying the efforts to make presentation/atmosphere very appreciable.

                    I have no issue for the game to implement mechanism to skip anything that the user does not want to spend time watching... I definitely think it is necessary for most gamers to be able to do this.

                    But do I always want to be rushed to get the next pitch thrown at me? Hell no...

                    As an authentic baseball game, in my opinion, The Show has been making a very poor decision of forcing the hasty presentation even when some special moments should actually be played out and appreciated in a timeless manner... the game should allow the gamer to stretch the moment in those occasions, if they so desire.

                    (I miss real-time presentation which used to exist.)

                    Timelessness has been one of the tenets of baseball... this is like yet another minor but essential element as to why The Show recently has been losing appeal to me.

                    The game is trying too hard to cater to the users who really should be playing another game. If they do not have the patience to appreciate the natural pace of baseball... they really are not after baseball.

                        I agree mostly with your post. I disagree on the appeal. I still love playing this game and 18 is far and away their best effort. That said, I miss real-time presentation. I also don’t like that SOTS has suffered (they cut slots this year...why?) in their effort to speed up the game experience. It is one of the best and most immersive experiences in the game that makes the replay value high. I am particularly disappointed that when my Yanks win (or lose) I can no longer hear extended win music. Heck I even like Red Sox win song. Why not just let it play in background after game is over and the announcements are running or during highlights? These are the types of little things that make the game great.

                          Could it possibly be the mention of Cracker Jacks in the song? That's free advertising for a name product.

                            Sure allow users the option to speed their games up. But someone needs to remind the producers at SDS that "There is no clock in baseball".

                              I'm all for keeping the Shows broadcast mode to be played out in real time as much as possible but to be fair to SDS, I havent seen the first clock in the Show. Yet.
