How do we know that MLBTS '19 doesn't have two way players?

Also you would have seen it advertised, teased etc. Don't think that the Bartolo Cologne tease has any indication of 2 way players. You would have seen at least 1 player in trailer that was pitching and hitting even if they teased it for 5 secs.

I disagree that it is something that would be advertised. There is an extremely small percentage of potential buyers who care at all about two way players.

(Don't mistake that for the percentage of people on this site who WOULD want it)

Hopefully they developed new hitting physics. 2017 was the year of "just late" swings being completely dominant and overpowered. 2018 was just hot garbage in terms of swing timing and outcomes. At times it felt like gameplay was predetermined, well-timed swings far too often resulted in weak/no contact. Even when you did get a nice swing on the ball with some exit velocity it seemed like the infielders all had mystical magnets in their gloves. Meanwhile the AI on higher difficulties can swing at pitches in the dirt and somehow find the gap for a double. If they fix that and put more control in the hands of the player, I'll be happy, if not, it'll be another meh year for The Show.

I imagine the new mode there referring to is the "Moments" mode will probably have nothing to do with online franchise or season return. I think they took a page out of WWE 2K.

2K Showcase and MyCareer are back: The respective story-based and career-driven modes will return in WWE 2K16, giving gamers the chance to relive legendary moments in WWE history or create some of their own. Most notably, MyCareer will give players the ability to fight their way from the developmental ranks of NXT all the way into the WWE Hall of Fame.

The only other baseball game in 2019 will have 2 way players and you would think that SDS would counter that and have it themselves on MLB THE SHOW 19. Only my opinion but I beleive this is the only reason you see RETRO MODE is becuse it challenges RBI BASEBALL.


* Now the March - October mode without a doubt is the return of SEASON MODE just with a new catchy name. Just my opinion again.

I dunno I might be overthinking this but this new march to October mode has me very very nervous about franchise mode. it's like when madden got ruined when they turned franchise into this CFM crap. and 32 team control along with a billion other things (like editing players) was taken away from the game. the excuse was they wanted to have that mode ready for next gen... that mode hasn't changed in 6 years now. it's still the same and you have the take 1 hour to create 32 team control but has never really been fixed.

I hope I am completely wrong on this. but if 30 team control is taken away or ability to edit players because it is a 'new mode' that takes 6 years to add back features that it once had but only do half a job bringing them back. there will be not a lot of happy people on here.

having commentary presentation and franchise all combined on that 1 stream raises red flags.

Is there some reason they can’t update umpire uniforms?

I remember back then Madden had regular franchise and it's own online franchise and rank matches were on one server by itself and the online franchise had it's own server. My point is that there reason was the group that worked on it had them working on 2 separate modes so to cut down on the work they decided to combine the 2 along with I guess was there version of my player etc.

I was not a fan of it either and the editing was not that great at the time with very limited in the main menu, but I half to say Madden 20 u can edit almost everything u bed to edit without having to do it inside CFM like previous years.

Now back to baseball [emoji12] I wouldn't be against SDS combining offline , online franchise to finally have a true franchise experience online with real MLB schedule, editing online etc. As SDS has said last 2 years only 1 person was assigned to online franchise why we really haven't seen any changes since 2015.

As we all know online franchise and season was taken out last year. So if it was combined maybe there's a larger group that could work on the one mode that all gets a upgrade every year instead of separate changes for 3 different modes season, offline franchise and online franchise.

Agreed.

The sad fact is that back in 09 when I got my first copy of Show it was miles ahead of any other sports game in regards to graphics, presentation etc. They were the trendsetters back then imo.

Nba 2k was equal perhaps but Madden, FIFA and everything else was miles behind.

Fast forward a decade and the Show is miles behind FIFA, Madden, NBA 2k, NHL in graphics, presentation etc.

And who cares about the 4k option if the frame rate is just atrocious with it enabled. Would much rather play with normal Full HD and smooth frame rate.

The only sports game Show beats presentation wise is PES...and that is by no means an achievement. PES' graphics blows Show out of the water though.



Even though I can appreciate the higher resolution and it looks good...I found the frame rate just pathetic and unplayable. Switched it back to high frame rate very quickly.

Even with the higher resolution...the grass, dirt still looks like early PS3 graphics.

Not sure what happened...but Show's attention to details was incredible a decade ago. Just completely lost focus and motivation/passion it seems.

Sorry but the grass is just pathetic in this game. It literally bears no resemblance or color to actual grass in the stadium. It's absolutely amazing this team is still going with that look. Incompetent is the word I am looking for at this point. I pray for the day a baseball sim comes to PC so I don't have to look at this crap anymore.

that's the great thing about it though, you dont ''have'' to look at it ever again, if you choose. I dont care if it looks like they're playing on concrete, so long as it plays like they're playing on grass.

Not on my 4k QLED tv. It is smooth as butter and as someone said lighting is amazing. On 4k QLED tv it was like night and day from my old non QLED 4k HDR tv. I felt like I was playing a brand new game.

I actually played on a 4K QLED TV 2018 Model...and the frame rate was atrocious. Especially the cutscenes were horrible.

Did you play in 4k or 2k?
4k is indeed pretty much unplayable but 2k is the sweet spot for sharpness and framerate.

4K.
But yes need to give 2K a go. Actually considering going back to Show 17 to continue my Rtts. Will wait on the Rtts stream before deciding.

They need to either up the frame rate or add missing animation frames. Animations like swings don't look smooth enough, as if they are missing frames and it totally kills it for me, same with some of the throwing animation but that isn't as big a deal as the hitting to me.
