Re: MLB Baseball Community Press Release

Due to the number of pms I'm getting and some of the reply's in this thread let me clarify a couple of things.

mlblover15, ericjwm, Psychobulk, jim416, nemesis04, Rod_Carew29, Knight165, Pared and Pastapadre


Are the Community Leaders for MLB The Show for the foreseeable future. We may add one or two people before March, but It's not something I would bank on.

Everyone of the guys listed above fits the criteria we talked about in the press release. Which is why they are your representatives. They have been a tremendous help the team over the years and we are really exited to have all of them on board.

Also I'm not the one you need to convince or ask to get into the program. The next person or group of people that are added to the roster will be picked by you (the community) not us.

Our intentions is for the program to run and operate as organically as possible. We won't step in as "Big Brother" unless it's absolutely necessary. If you know of someone who might not be on our radar or who's at another site please by all means pm me.

I hope that clears some things up. If you have any other questions ask away.

I see nobody in that group to stick up for the batting stance/pitching motion crowd...Who is willing to step up?!

You are covered there with Rod_Carew29 and ericjwm.

Re: MLB Baseball Community Press Release

Carew is very good at finding stances that fit a player(When SCEA has messed up the sig one). I just need them to stay on SCEA to perfect the ones totally wrong. Can't wait to see what Chris has cooked up for '09.

Re: MLB Baseball Community Press Release

Well, in all honesty I don't really know what this all means (in terms of commitment), but if it's a personal rendezvous kind of thing, I live in San Diego so that's a plus.

Not only that, but I do the best I can to make sure my voice is heard in that these games are given the proper adjustments to be better games overall. If you still need that batting stance kind of guy, all I do is mimic stances in front of the TV while watching games. Hell, I'd post them online (people on here know what I'm talking about ). I'll do what I can if selected.

Re: MLB Baseball Community Press Release

If you guys have any real, real concerns that you think might get overlooked PM us. Time is getting short and SCEA does come here and note what we say (baseball nuts that we are), Development time is getting shorter and shorter and the bottom line is we'd like EVERYTHING we've ever brought up fixed/included, but you guys know that might be a programming impossibility, but hitting I'm sure is at the forefront and I'm hoping the fielding problems with the animations, sliders that really, really work.

You know these guys are serious about this game and I bet they sit around jawing just like we do about it and what they can hopefully fix/improve, so let's get at it.

Danged, I'm ready to play ball already.

Honestly.....if this means that "we have the ear" of SCEA more than anyone else.....that I will bring the concerns/ideas of EVERYONE to them as best I can.
As a matter of fact....my own facets would probably get less "campaigning" because I would feel obligated to get everyone else's ideas in there.
Don't worry....we will ALL have the back of the O.S. MLB community.:wink:

Re: MLB Baseball Community Press Release

Man i am so glad I got a PS3 and The Show and being part of this great community makes me even more proud. These guys chosen are the most deserving guys IMO.

I bet that such a community/developer relationship is nowhere else to be found!

Absolutely.

I can only echo what Knight says, its a great privilege SCEA has given us folks here (not just us chosen, but the whole of OS) in being able to help shape the great game we all know and love into something even better.

As Knight said, we are here to convey all of the concerns/issues/good ideas, anything really to the Dev team, there is and will be no favouritism to only "our" ideas, far from it.

I think i speak for all the other Community Leaders when i say we'll try our absolute best to work closely with SCEA to improve and better this game for us all.

Re: MLB Baseball Community Press Release

I´d like to know if you, the Community Leaders, will be allowed to share the progress of the development with us OS´ers?

......And how about talking them into letting us choose our uniforms in franchise/season mode.

Re: MLB Baseball Community Press Release

The wait for MLB 09 is killing me. I stopped playing MLB 08 a few months ago because I plan to sink some serious hours into MLB 09 and I wanted to get a serious jonesing going on. In the words of the exiting President, "Mission Accomplished."
