Re: MLB The Show 19 Gameplay Trailer

Not impressed I’m thinking about purchasing an Xbox One X and hope and pray that PS5 brings the graphics that we all want.

Re: MLB The Show 19 Gameplay Trailer

I'm like 80% sure that's Tobe Nwigwe, an up and coming rapper.

I've gone down a rabbit hole of listening to his music now. His voice reminds me of Big Boi mixed with Clyde Carson on that "Slow down, I know you can't catch me" GTA5 joint.

Any idea what song this is by Tobe in the trailer?

I've only heard a few of his songs, so I can't say for sure, but I'm guessing this is a new song that he hasn't released yet. Or at least it's not one that I recognize.

Re: MLB The Show 19 Gameplay Trailer

Few things I noticed when digging into each scene . . . I won't be delving into RTTS or DD at all as I don't play those modes, these are only things I noticed from gameplay screens.

1. Fenway updated with 2018 World Series sign
2. In the screen of Sale on the mound, the second basemen is shifted towards the middle of the field. While this is all fine and dandy, I hope shifting is a bit more realistic this year. Managers don't shift for every single power hitter in real baseball.
3. Sale looks skinny. Updated player model? Don't remember how he looked in 2018.
4. Gardner on the scoreboard in the Price scene. Not a big deal, but Gardner isn't expected to start this year.
5. I could be wrong, but Fenway looks updated.
6. In the Create-a-Player screen, for Slot 1 Velocity, it says 80. If this is for either Chapman or Ryan, this could be good because both of them throw in the 100s. If velocity is at 80 for someone who throws that hard, perhaps there's a possibility that velocity this year doesn't max out at 101 like every other year.
7. The weight lifting scene looks interesting as there's a meter that you clearly control with L1 and R1 buttons.
8. Some throwing animations look updated.
9. Others already mentioned the Gwynn and McCutcheon stuff.
10. Tagging and urgency finally look better. Last year they marketed the "new" tagging system and it literally was HORRID, worst in years IMO. The urgency in swipe tags seems back now.
11. In the scene where Kolten Wang is getting up at third base, the emotion by the third base umpire looks great. Would love to see some umpire emotion on calls.
12. Never seen a CPU fielder touch third for a force and then throw to first. Interesting touch. Looks like humanity AI might have been improved.
13. LOVE the scene where the umpire ducks down on the line drive down the line. The umpire ducking looks fantastic, but what really strikes me is that the ball actually landed FAIR! Last year they removed that entirely in a patch, line drives down the line were very rare again. Looks like hit variety was improved again, which is NECESSARY for realism.
14. All colors look updated, including Red Sox red and Rockies purple.
15. Grass looks more realistic as well in that down the line shot.
16. Yankee stadium also looks updated with the scoreboard in center and the clock in left center. Also the lighting looks updated too.
17. Giancarlo Stanton is ENORMOUS in real life. The model simply doesn't do him justice.
18. When Stanton hits the home run, the crowd reacts accordingly. Would be nice to see fans react properly in certain situations. Last year was hit or miss.
19. In the Yankees double play scene, looks like Tulo is playing short and Lemahieu at third which is good (I guess Andujar had a day off), however the scoreboard says it's the fourth inning of a 2-2 game, yet the batter has already had 5 at bats, including 3 consecutive double plays in the 6th, 8th and 9th innings.
20. Purple skies look great.
21. The infielder boots look FANTASTIC. It looks like they may have done away with the pathetic infield error animations and actually made infield errors realistic. MUCH needed.
22. Kershaw covering first on that same booted ball scene . . . let's hope they finally fixed pitchers covering.
23. In the phase screen, it says Attacks, My Territories and My Fans. These could definitely be franchise improvements. Rivalries? Attendance?

Re: MLB The Show 19 Gameplay Trailer

Ah you know me Country, i was an AVID show man, but its ground me down so bad now i have no interest in the game and doubt ill ever buy it again.

Its a cookie cutter release with a few tweaks thats now mainly catering to making the $$$ from DD, and i get that, business reasons etc...

...but its such a shame, SCEA has gone from being one of the most innovative developers out there to just chasing the quick buck and letting the game go completely stale.

Sure it'll still be a good game, but the lack of competition in this market has killed this game.

I can't say I agree, I see some guys talking about graphics, I mean what about graphics? This game is still one of the best looking sports games around IMO. Also isn't every sports title released year in and year a cookie cutter release? Ala- NBA 2k, Madden? Maybe its because I'm a huge baseball fan and the Show for me always makes baseball season even better.

Re: MLB The Show 19 Gameplay Trailer

Like many of you, I have played baseball, and baseball games before computers and such. I temper my feelings of not getting too excited or too negative about the upcoming release.

1. Above all, I love that we have the gameplay we have in this game. It has the 'playability' factor for me. I would not sacrifice gameplay for another feature.
2. I know that offline baseball is not a money maker for them and will not get the needed attention that I feel it deserves. It is a fact and I must accept that.
3. I do look forward to the release, and will stay away from here for a while after release so I don't read the negative comments. If I see something, then I will know.
4. The game really needs real competition!

With that said, bring on the game. 'Play ball'.

#23 sounds like Conquest mode in DD.

Re: MLB The Show 19 Gameplay Trailer

So, I'm assuming these are all extremely early builds of this game used in the trailer, right? Because I saw zero new equipment and guys like Stanton still had that bulky old generic elbow guard that no one wears anymore.

Re: MLB The Show 19 Gameplay Trailer

I REALLY like that clip of Swanson tagging and then throwing home - because I can appreciate how quickly the throw input had to have been accepted (you can't preload in this situation, otherwise you'll never make the tag). That's a smooth fielding animation on something that almost never is smooth in previous games.

If velocity is at 80 for someone who throws that hard, perhaps there's a possibility that velocity this year doesn't max out at 101 like every other year.

I think it's more likely that the attribute is based on the 20-80 scale. If you have an 80 velocity rating, that means you would have potential to have the highest velocity possible. Chapman & Ryan would be 80-grade velocity guys. Jordan Hicks would probably be another example.

That being said, I also hope there is a possibility to get Chapman-like velocity.

Atlanta Braves new uniforms??

Re: MLB The Show 19 Gameplay Trailer

Could the different types of mccutchen and Gwynn mean maybe we get to collect jerseys this year and actually use them in diamond dynasty

Re: MLB The Show 19 Gameplay Trailer

...

And some of the highlights of the upcoming twitch streams has me excited like for example it sounds like once again AI for defense has maybe greatly improved. And someone new joining the broadcast team. Unlike the last few years it does not say "Joining the Booth" which leads me to believe it could be either for a sideline reporter or a studio person perhaps Lauren shehadi or heidi Whatley? I think it's time MLB The Show had a female TV personality. After counting the Asterix It may very well be heidi Whatley

...

Watney*

Agree with the rest of your post tho. A sideline reporter could be interesting, I think Shehadi has the voice for voice over work.

And I'm gonna disagree with the color filter only being for the Willie Mays catch in the trailer - that should be easy to implement in the actual game. No reason to just tease us like that.

Other than that, typical "sizzle" trailer - nothing in-depth. Nothing to really criticize in there.

That did look sweet. What about the clip right before that, with Trumbo mis-reading the ball and coming in a step, then saying OH CRAP and bailing back towards the fence. Is that new? Don't think I've ever seen an outfielder react like that, but I could be wrong.
