Re: Post Your MLB The Show 19 Gameplay Interview Questions Here

Injuries? Has injuries been looked at any? With the slider at 6, I could get a good amount (accounting for roster limits also) of injuries for the season. However for my team in franchise I would have to bump the slider to 9 in game to see any during a season. I know because of the 90 player limit that its unrealistic to have to many injuries, but would like to see more in game (not just 1-6 day pregame) throughout the season to challenge my roster setup and be able to bring guys up and so forth.

Have challenges/replays been expanded beyond safe/out calls at first base?

In regards to pitches in the dirt that bounce away from the catcher. In '18 the catcher's were better at reacting quickly and getting to the ball, but it seemed that CPU runners knew exactly how far the ball was going to get away from the catcher as soon as it hit the dirt and wasn't caught, thus allowing them to get a "head start" on advancing, instead of having to take a split second to see where the ball was going, and how far away it was from the catcher.

Has this been improved?

Will we have the ability to select different pitching motions for the windup and stretch, or assign left and right handed batting stances for switch hitters? As they often differ in real life.

Years ago..circa 2010. One of the game devs posted on The Show Nation that if you had a CH, CIR CH, Curveball as one of the first 3 pitches in a players arsenal that pitcher couldn't hit the max pitch speed. Example: If you had a 4sfb at #1 and CH at #2, you couldn't get your 4sfb to hit the game max of 102.

Is that still in the game? If so, what is the purpose of that function?

For RTTS offense, do all AA pitcher's continue to relentlessly pound the strike zone?

Take this with a grain of salt because I have no inside information, but my guess as to why the pitch speed of one pitch is governed by the other pitches is to avoid a bunch of created players that throw 105 and have 60 MPH breaking stuff.

But, yeah, this... along with changeups being too slow (relative to the fastball)... along with the pitch velocities glitching out when editing a new CAP... along with 3-pitch min/5-pitch max arsenal... along with not being able to type in a specific velocity rather than using ~0.2 MPH increment slider bars... along with the lack of progression/regression of velocity/movement/stamina are all things that I hope would be looked at.

Are we still stuck with the archaic way to take leads off of bases and get back when running the bags? Why can’t the user truly have control over getting back on a pickoff attempt? Nothing more frustrating than trying to take an extra step only to get sucked into a long animation when you know the pitcher is throwing over.

Will there ever be a user tag system where we have to manually apply a tag to a runner?

If I press a button on defense with the ball and the player runs to the bag himself for a force out, how long do I have to wait before I can press the next base’s button to have him unloading that ball ASAP?

Any chance they’ll ever have a speed burst command, especially for base runners? I would like to have more control over the amount of hustle a player uses and be subjected to risk/reward with injuries as a result of its use. This has pretty much been one of the only baseball, or even sports games, without a hustle or speed burst command. I like having things being ratings based, but there often isn’t enough control for the user and I feel like I’m stuck watching rather than playing at times.

Are there any new attributes added like tagging or game calling for catchers?

Re: Post Your MLB The Show 19 Gameplay Interview Questions Here

Are there any new control schemes, such as gesture pitching, etc.

1. Has CPU AI Bullpen logic and manager moves been improved?

2. Do all managers have different tendencies?

Re: Post Your MLB The Show 19 Gameplay Interview Questions Here

In previous year's it felt as though outfielders weren't able to make some of the spectacular plays that you see in a daily web gem highlight reel. With the additional animations and focus on defense, are you seeing some new spectacular/web gem type plays by the outfield?

Re: Post Your MLB The Show 19 Gameplay Interview Questions Here

1. Any chance of the foul ball camera making a comeback this year?
2. Are there more "blowout" games or is every game gonna be a one-run affair?
3. Down the line shots - are many of them still singles or have they been fixed and they're mostly all extra base hits?

Does the CPU AI still over use the Suicide Squeeze Play too much?


I have lost a lot of games because of the suicide Squeeze! lol

This might not fall under gameplay but as a hardcore franchise player, any changes to quick manage? Specifically can we finally do a double-switch? Not being to double switch just kills the strategy element for NL quick manage.
