Oh the hair. The glorious hair. Adds so much realism.

I really like the whole aesthetic.i agree the menus are a bit tough to read. But the whole aesthetic is so cool I can get past it.

As a blue Jays guy this year's package is really appealing.

I like the new analog pitching meter and the button menu..

Gonna dig more into it.

Also it works real good with no lag issues on my Portal. This game is perfect for the portal as it doesn't require my constant attention. I think I will get a lot more out of this game this year.

Agreed. It's not nearly as bad as I anticipated. Animation additions are obvious, smooth and nice, and it's playing very smoothly on PS5. Smoother than '23 for sure, especially noticable when throwing the ball around the infield after an out. less frame drops in cut scenes (there were never a lot, but it's noticably smoother). The faces are a tangible improvement too, the lighting focus makes a big difference.

I'm noticing a lot of fps drop on PS5 during cut scenes, but I am used looking at high refresh gsync monitors all day on PC.

Playing a little bit since Friday, I've already seen enough pop-ups to the first baseman to last a lifetime.

In the first inning of my last game, let's go marlins was chanted for what seemed like 10 straight minutes.

Re: MLB The Show 24 Impressions Thread

To build off my initial impressions, I stayed up most of the night playing and so far have some, great, good, and kind of bad feedback.

Overall the game is great. Every aspect is nailed for the most part and feels very good, except human hitting. Now, keep in mind this is just my perspective and what I am looking for likely differs from what most are. That being said, I made the jump to legendary difficulty for hitting and through 7 in my last game I had 3 hits with all 3 being HR's. I know right now baseball wants as many HR's as possible, but I would really, really like to see some more doubles and less HR's, especially no doubt shots hit by guys with mediocre power consistently.

Luckily there are a lot of new sliders that I pray will help me find the balance I am looking for runs wise, singles/doubles wise, and HR's wise. With that being said (I am not trying to argue with anyone, just chill) I believe, for me at least, that this game has the potential to slip into the same time zone as MLB 20, aka The GOAT. I really do mean that. Every aspect of this game is awesome, and feels much improved from 23. Hit variety is still very nice, just want more doubles (many potential doubles keep going foul down the lines lol) and base hit variety. Like I said, these new sliders could very well help achieve this when put to use by a better mind than mine.

There is so much potential here for everyone, and for those playing modern/current only this game is sick. The stadium creator looks different too, much nicer and cleaner. You know where my issues stands by now, but outside of that, this game is very well made. If you are on the fence, just go for it.

I wasn't even going to get it and I made an impulse buy last evening and am glad I did. Animations are so good, presentation is 10/10, and it's fun to play.


EDIT: So right after I made this post, I dropped Human Power, Solid Hits, and Timing by 1, and through 4 with Detroit I have 2 singles and 2 doubles! One was a sweet gapper by Baez and the other almost was but was ran down and the guy had 88 spd, so it was very realistic. The two singles were a nice dying slow fly and a beautiful liner up the middle. Yes, yes, very early, but now i have 2 doubles and 1 run through 4 and nothing felt forced, off, or uncanny. My God dudes, these sliders may work in my/our favor. Let's go!

Problem is it’s locked and I can’t turn commentary off. I play with it off. I’m going to turn the crowd down as much as I can and that’s a bummer.

I'll leave the crowd turned up and deal with it.

It only lowers the volume so that they don't drown out the announcers. The repetitiveness is still the same.

That 2 strike siren at Yankee Stadium always scares me to death [emoji1787]

I set the audio to on the field. That sounds pretty good. Still too many chants though.
