MLB The Show 19 Gameplay Trailer and Screenshots

Re: MLB The Show 19 Gameplay Trailer and Screenshots

Looking at those Wrigley screenshots (thanks Steve!) I see an additional, smaller video board that wasn't there in 18 (on the roof of the top level seats). I don't usually catch these kinds of things until they're spelled out so I was surprised when I went back and saw it wasn't there last year.

18, for reference:

Re: MLB The Show 19 Gameplay Trailer

Dont see any signs from the trailer or stream schedule i know its minor to some but has anyone spotted anything or read about the replay system being expanded other than the same outdated first base challenge? Also the weather and/ or rainouts possibly getting incorporated more..

I doubt this will ever be touched.

It's a shame, challenges are a big part of Baseball now.

Re: MLB The Show 19 Gameplay Trailer and Screenshots

Animations and player models look so stiff and dated. They really need to redo them from the ground up to make this game next level.

Sadly “gameplay” to them means video game play. Not on the field baseball action. Anything from the video game is technically gameplay, so menus, DD, training in RTTS is all considered “gameplay”.

But I really hope that fielding is better, smoother, quicker, less canned animations and more weighty.

Also hope fielders can lose their hats now during play. Outfielders lose their hats often when racing for balls. Mays lost his on “The Catch”, put that in for regular game play, please.

Would’ve liked to have seen bunting in this video. Hope rocket bunts are gone.

Is it just me, or does that Matt Chapman animation not look quite right? He overruns third base by a step before going for the leap throw, instead of leaping off the base and he doesn't transfer the ball to his throwing hand until after he's stepped on the base? Maybe I'm wrong, but in my head you'd have the ball ready to throw as soon as you got to the base in that situation, it almost looks like he only starts thinking about the throw once he's tagged the base?

Re: MLB The Show 19 Gameplay Trailer

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.

I used to feel this exact way, but the past couple of years I'd have to disagree. I think Madden and NBA have pulled ahead by quite a good amount in the graphic sense department, while only NHL has lagged behind.

I'm a gameplay guy first, and that's why I love the show, but I have to admit the presentation/graphics have gotten stale. I remember being blown away by the way the game looked on PS3, and now I don't get that same feeling. I haven't skipped an edition in over 10 years, but this year may be the first year I wait to purchase being an offline franchise player myself.

I just wish big moments felt/sounded like big moments in the game because that's what makes real baseball so great.

In real life? Sure, that's ill-advised. It's probably not so easy to do in game, though. You can't preload your throw to first a couple of steps before being on third, and the game likely won't create a transfer beforehand in case you attempt to tag a player at some point (theoretically, you should have the ball in hand anyway even if you intend to make a tag if you're not planning on outstretching your glove hand, but that's neither here nor there). The branching just wouldn't be right from a programming standpoint, at least not without exhausting quite a bit of time to it.

Also, not to be “That Guy” but the nerd in me must point out that Cutch never wore the yellow jerseys while having the dreads. I’m sure someone was all proud of themselves by taking the time to show him in a throwback uniform with his former team as a way to sell DD and be more legitimate, but they done f’d up ha.

It’s the little things...

Yeah, I completely forgot about the games branching limitations and just thought it looked off. Bit weird to use as a clip to show off your game though, when really it's showing off a problem

Not too bad! I like what I see so far.  Looking forward to the twitch streams for MLB on franchise features.  Hey, whatever they improve is a bonus for us non-DD players, we have to appreciate whatever they add.  This is still the best baseball game for any consoles out there so if DD is KING and making $$$ for SDS to continue making this game for us baseball fans then it is alright with me and all the baseball fans out there! 
Can't wait for Baseball..it's been too long a wait!..lol

Re: MLB The Show 19 Gameplay Trailer and Screenshots

I'll wait for more. But nothing moved me at all about that trailer.
Same graphics. A bunch of diamond dynasty stuff. Nothing exciting to me.

Re: MLB The Show 19 Gameplay Trailer and Screenshots

As I watched the trailer, specifically the shot down the left field line, i thought wouldn’t it be cool if chalk kicked up in the outfield? Thanks to Steve’s post with the screenshots i got my answer. If I knew how to embed a photo, i would

They still have the A’s 2013 Division champs on the wall and tarps on the 3rd deck. Both have been changed years ago. SMH

Guys, we all knew what it would be...

Hype video with music intended to reach young guys just finding hair under their armpits. Animations (not "game play"), a number of which don't even seem realistic. We knew it would provide us with next to nothing. The real moment comes when we get to see some actual game play footage, and those of us who are franchise guys will also again realize how unimportant we are.

But, if you love baseball either stick with an older version, play RBI, dust off your old xbox and play MVP 05, or go outside and play catch. It's the proverbial "it is what it is" type of thing, and it's exactly the basic joke I expected to see - with no Harper, and that was such a brilliant move putting a pending FA on the cover.

if someone can work out how to do rosters where rookies form 2018 won't be rookies for 2019 then for sure I would stick to an older game. but I will admit it I am only buying the game again for that reason.
