Last year the catcher throws back to the pitcher?

Re: Last year the catcher throws back to the pitcher?

I remember back to MVP 05 that you could actually throw the ball around the horn after an out. I know in the grand scheme its not a big deal,but it did keep my head more in the game.

Yup, thats probably the best baseball game ever made IMO.

What exactly is this home run camera you all hate? It's not that sudden change to a camera view behind the batter the instant you make contact, is it? Because that is awesome, one of my favorite parts of the game.

Yes, yes it is. Everyone has their own preferences. The point is, they removed the option to have it on for people like you and others who love it, and off for people like us.

Seems to me those older titles on ps3 were much harder on default than the recent titles.

Imo the older titles on ps3 were catered to more hardcore baseball fans. The new games are catered to the casual crowd.

I wonder if people who have played the stress test have noticed if the camera option is back or not.. fingers crossed

You are not going to get an answer on that. We can’t discuss anything about the Tech Test on any public forum. Why even wonder out loud about that?

Does anyone know the last version of the show that you can watch the catcher throw the ball back to the pitcher after every pitch, not just sometimes? I get they took it out to make the game faster, but I am a sucker for immersion. Oh yeah, and also what was the last year they had the option to turn the homerun camera off? Can't stand how they took these things away.

I'm the same way. The full batter walk up and situating themselves in the box, along with full step out rituals when time is called. I really miss that stuff...I wish it could be broadcast like it used to be...

Out of curiosity, what really is stopping anyone? It's unlikely most people use their PSN name here, and the devs don't come over here anymore because they might get challenged by people who helped build the brand and want a competent franchise mode...

Why the white knighting for SDS?

The devs do come here but rarely interact because well, some people struggle to hold civil and mature conversations.

And what is stopping people is the fact that they honor their agreement and request from SDS to not share information outside the designated forums.

It’s not white knighting, it’s being respectful.

A character trait that is unfortunately becoming less and less common these days.

A few things.

First and foremost.....I am a gentleman. Unlike some other around here without naming any names.

Second. I value the relationships I have developed with of the developers of MLB The Show. Very cool guys, who communicate and value feedback.

Third. I value my standing in this community. And if I break my gentleman's agreement with SDS by blabbering my mouth here about my finding's on the tech test I will surely be banned from Operation Sports.

4th get off your high horse calling me a white night. I have been highly critical in a constructive manner about this game over the years. I call it like I see it. Grow up man.

Re: Last year the catcher throws back to the pitcher?

I think the thing that bothers me is the ''almost threw it back'' animation & cuts off right before release.
I'd rather see, if they don't want a full catcher to pitcher animation, maybe cut away sooner to the fans in the stands brief animation or a zoom in look at the batter, or into one of the dugouts. otherwise to steal a line from Van Halen, ''go on, finish whay ya started''.
if that throwback animation triggers, don't leave me hanging. that's like ending a game of tic-tac-toe right before you're fixing to win

Integrity: doing the right thing even when nobody is watching you.

If anybody not in the tech test wants to get inside information, all they need to do is just read some of the posts on the official forum. Some of those people aren’t comprehending the ‘don’t post about the game outside the private forum’ rule. It’s hilarious.

I called it like I saw it. Your sanctimonious scolding of the other poster for "fishing" as you saw it... Like it's an NSA secret.
And for those preaching about integrity LOL, grow up. We aren't talking about finding an old lady's SSI in an envelope on the street...We're talking about a multi-million dollar franchise that seems to hold little interest in anything that doesn't involve micro-transactions.


Ostensibly, it would be a harmless leak. There is literally no competition for this game. Absolutely none. Zero. And people wonder why we don't get meaningful franchise improvements...
