MLB The Show Graphics Discussion Thread

Re: MLB The Show Graphics Discussion Thread

Its just my opinion but unless Stadium Creator floats your boat, theres nothing wrong with sticking with the PS4 version. Esp. if Sounds of the Show means more than Stadium Creator.

As a strictly franchise guy, I agree. I never really got into other aspects of the game. I try RTTS every year, but meh. It's interesting because when I read about people discussing the show on places like reddit I have no idea what they're talking about anymore. I hear phrases like "packs, collections, cards, stubbs, vouchers, Diamond Dynasty, ranked, etc'' I have zero clue what any of these things are. Feels in a lot of ways the game is leaving an older guy (30s) like me behind. However the 60 fps sounds very nice though.

I'd be happy with the cloth physics and wind effects from MLB 2K7. Along with the stadium exteriors from that game. In fact if it had the gameplay of the Show, I might still be playing MLB 2K7.

They write well enough for Boog's PBP but Singleton's color writer needs to tighten up some of his lines, some of them could use some brevity. Less is more, more is less; it's in that vein.

I wish they recorded together it just sounds so stitched together.

Yeah it worked. That's pretty cool likeness of CC physically. I really don't have a gripe with the images of the show. I just wish they'd get more guys authentic likeness with tattoos. Like full sleeves etc. I know they have a small amount like with Contreras before he retired with the little neck tattoo but let's go already. Having the dreads and flowing hair is cool but true likeness having guys appear in the game how they really look with tattoos would greatly improve the level of player detail. I know it's a license thing with the artist that did the tattoo, the same way madden had to do and nba 2k. So with the money they are generating from dd, shouldn't they be able to make this work?

Tats would be nice. Like how NBA 2K does them. Seeing Yady without his neck tat was frustrating but not game breaking. The show is a funny game. In advertisements the game does not look all that sexy. However when you actually play the game, it really looks good. And yeah I know the graphics absolutely should be updated considering the hardware we have now. I was playing last night, and I forget how decent the game looks. There are some things they could change though. Sleeves come to mind. Like putting ruffles on the short sleeves. It would also be nice to wear the tight pants but while showing socks. I know some cleats this is sort of possible, but it's just the little things visually that can go a long way.

Yady had his neck tattoo in the game for the last couple of years because the face scan picks it up.

You can make beautiful in game screenshots so thats just a fault in their marketing. I mean look at this:



And this is from The Show 20

That’s nice. I have no idea what the marketing department does, but it certainly doesn’t get you pumped for the game.

Re: MLB The Show Graphics Discussion Thread

It's a good point really. For years I've rarely put much stock into the photos or videos shared for marketing/promo by SDS close to game release. Because they always for some reason look worse than the actual game. Just look in the OS thread "photographic side of mlb the show", there are some amazing pictures in there by us gamers.

Re: MLB The Show Graphics Discussion Thread

It appears to me that there are more variations of dirt, better texture to the actual dirt, and better color implementation. Don’t quote me, this is just how I’ve seen it from viewing the trailers. And I did call the improvement to the hair based solely upon the first Vlad screenshot. Just saying lol

Re: MLB The Show Graphics Discussion Thread

Looks like the graphics updates are coming based on their recent released blog and 20-minute raw gameplay video. Player models, hair physics, lighting, time transitions, etc. look to be improved.

I’m the same way. Most people talk about DD if it’s not online issues. All I was hearing about this last year was “sets”. Sets this and sets that. Someone on Reddit asked what sets are and why so many complain about them so now I know what they are. Was clueless for months.

No, it's the drab all black The Show 21.

Interesting. I have told myself I will go ahead and buy the show this year. Probably will wait till April to let the first few patches set in. (game always feels incomplete on day 1). However, I will be expecting much much more next year when they leave ps4/xb1 behind. There is just no excuse to not take advantage of next gen hardware. At least that's my opinion.

Based on this seems they might be laying some kind of foundation for next gen.
