MLB The Show 23 - The Little Things

Re: MLB The Show 23 - The Little Things

Was getting shutout by Senga (CAP) and the Mets in franchise going into the 9th, as the Marlins, and instead of the game transitioning right to the top of the 9th and having to just see what happens, it showed Senga in the dugout getting up off the bench, while Boog said a sentence or two along the lines of ‘and it looks like he’s coming back out for the 9th!’.

They really nailed it this year with the extra bits of player interaction and emotion, and extra presentation touches you’d see in a real game broadcast. Games feel much more immersive and alive than in past years.

I just saw Garrett Cooper almost do the splits after reaching for a ball while playing first. I have never seen that before, such a nice little touch.

The splits what is that? Unless you mean he did a split?

I'm from the UK and we say 'the splits' here.

I’ve always heard it as “the splits” as well

This was a new animation to me at least. Umpire with the uppercut punchout

The variety of hits and the ability to finally get to an inside pitch easier is great.

Yeah, seeing the first baseman stretching way out almost in full splits mode was awesome to see. That should have been in the game a long time ago.

The fielders taking bad routes to the ball and at times reading it wrong off the bat is a great addition. That opens up more offense and excitement when a hit gets through the gap and especially all the way to the wall.

Had a game last night vs the Mets. I hit a comebacker to the mound and Verlander went to his knees to field the ball then threw to first while still on his knees for the out.

Have never seen that one before.

I know for years we have had the same minor league parks but they have added some this year. It sure keeps Spring Training from being so boring.

That's a surprise for sure, figured his wife could do that, but not him.

Is it me or does the St Louis archway look a TON better this year? I feel like it looks more like a 3d object. Also, swing follow throughs are amazing this year. And camera cuts in between the action look more like a broadcast.

My first franchise game and Nolan Arenado hit his 300th career home run. It showed him taking a curtain call. Nice touch.

Probably coincidence but game against Cubs went to 45 minute rain delay in the 4th inning.

Cubs left Stroman in (55 pitches)

Two pitches after delay he left with shoulder discomfort

The splits is what we call it down south. What do you call it?

Re: MLB The Show 23 - The Little Things

It seems there’s a slightly different pop from the catchers mitt when the pitcher is throwing 99+. It’s very subtle but I’m pretty sure it’s there.
