MLB The Show 25 Gameplay Trailer

Re: MLB The Show 25 Gameplay Trailer

Was trying to find a snippet where we see the new A’s and Rays stadiums. Hope they won’t just plug a Stadium creator version in there for those two.

I would think they would just have Tropicana Field in there, like prior to the damage. The A's, I have no idea.

RTTS look trash again

They focus on the wrong things with that mode

It's a small thing, but, as a Giants fan, I gotta point out that no updates have been made to Oracle Park again. Still using the old Jumbotron graphics from 2020-2022, it seems.

What the Jumbotron layout should look like:

Re: MLB The Show 25 Gameplay Trailer

Just thought about something... I'm wondering if SDS is hoping for some double dipping sales this year after dropping last gen support... Why else would they have no physical collectors edition, instead having only the digital deluxe version for early access, while the physical standard limited edition with the special Topps now cards have no early access at all?

So if you want to play the game early, gotta drop 100. But if you want that Topps card, gotta drop 70 also... and conveniently for SDS pocketbooks, there's no digital upgrade path to get both the physical standard limited edition plus early access and all the DD goodies (however they could end up doing that since it'd be a March 18 release) [emoji848]

It’s like that with every stadium. They aren’t going to change those graphics much because teams usually swap them every year or two and they’d have to use art resources that would otherwise be used for new scans, uniforms, UI menus, and other things to make sure they kept those up to date for each team. Seems like they update them every time a stadium gets a big enough makeover.

I would hope they would put in the actual stadium that the A’s will be playing in since they’re going to be there for a while. I can’t imagine them doing anything other than the Trop for the Rays since it’s just a one year thing.

When will they revamp the pitching already. The guys in the trailer looked like they were playing soft toss. i would like for the pitchers to be more deliberate and there to be more unique movement on all pitches. Every pitchers off-speed/breaking ball don't break the exact same way.

Re: MLB The Show 25 Gameplay Trailer

Absolutely disappointed. I’m a franchise player, all team control, and I don’t see any improvements at all. The graphics and atmosphere are the most important to me, as the gameplay is sufficient for my tastes. Roster logic isn’t coming anyway, which should actually be the number one priority.

When I have a close game like last year, my hands are sweating in the 9th inning, and I need an out with the score 2-1 and three players on base, I couldn’t care less about the atmosphere or the graphics.

However, as a franchise player, I play so many games that boredom quickly sets in. By the third inning, you can already tell you’re going to lose, the opponent is boring, etc. THAT’S when the atmosphere and graphics matter. Because the game itself isn’t offering much, but at least you can admire the beautiful grass, the nice lights, or enjoy when your team hits a homerun with a 6-0 lead, and it creates a little bit of excitement.

The fact that the presentation doesn’t seem to be changing is also a letdown.

Especially the first sequence with the stadiums, when the ball is in play, looks like a PS3 game. It’s just a green, undefined mass.

Re: MLB The Show 25 Gameplay Trailer

Bullpens are still on the field in stadium creator. It’s unfortunate they continue to ignore improvements that can be made in one of the most groundbreaking features we have ever gotten.

I agree that it kinda stinks that Stadium Creator largely gets no substantial updates. The only reason that we even have Stadium Creator in the first place is that a dev was mostly building it out on the side without really having approval if I remember correctly. SDS (Ramone possibly) said something along those lines during one of their feature premiere back when it was being introduced into the series.

Anyway, we see them add some additional things that we can put beyond the outfield walls sure, but often requested updates like domes, bullpen locations, distance markers and home run lines on the walls, etc. are a no go. Ah, well. I'm still happy that we have it in the first place and I remember how ecstatic I was watching the first videos about it.

I would give SDS some real credit if they built out each of these parks... I'm hoping it happens, but wouldn't be totally shocked if it didn't.

Re: MLB The Show 25 Gameplay Trailer

I’m sure everyone here will agree, they should just stop making the game at this point. If there aren’t going to be drastic improvements, it would be better to have no MLB game at all than whatever this is supposed to be.

Don’t agree at all

Absolutely. King Solomon, you are so wise. We should cut the game in half and give the graphics part of the disc to one side of the community and the gameplay part to the other side.

Honestly a bit of an overreaction here, right? I mean, you don't have to buy the game. And why ruin it for those who still do plan on getting it?

No hate meant here, maybe you're just venting.

Re: MLB The Show 25 Gameplay Trailer

I do suspect MLB subsidies the game development each year and without that I don’t SCEA considers it a meaningful investment.
