MLB Baseball Community Press Release

Re: MLB Baseball Community Press Release

I am a little confused. Knowing what I know about dev cycles, if the game ships in March, they should be pretty much done coding and in beta (system) test mode. How many changes could they even accomodate at this point? I would think this type of thing should have taken place back in April/May, unless I am misunderstanding the intent.

I feel really good about that list of community leaders. Some of the best and most knowledgable posters of any gaming message board out there.

Re: MLB Baseball Community Press Release

Like I said before...right now I know as much(or as little :o) as anyone else...but I'm going to guess that capa is right...this years game(09) is probably pretty much set.
I'd say that when 09 is released, and we see what we get....it'll be then that we will really get this into swing and get the feedback from here to the guys at SCEA.

I think this is going to be a GREAT thing for us.

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.

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.

That is a kick *** list. I can't wait to see where this takes the game

Re: MLB Baseball Community Press Release

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

Are you kidding me?
The accuracy of the batting & pitching animations have been one of my main concerns for years now. Chris & the rest of the Sony mocap team have done a pretty great job in the past, but its time for them to take it to another level. I'm confident that 09 will be a step in the right direction.... no worries here.

ah, you know what eric? I got you and MLBLover confused(don't ask how...lol) I know you're on the same page as me with stances and pitching mo-cap. Good stuff! Can't wait to see some stuff late next month.

All the right people have been picked to represent OS as it concerns MLB The Show. I will be very jealous of you guys if you are invited out to San Diego to check out 09 The Show.

Re: MLB Baseball Community Press Release

Guys,

I wouldn't expect much from the program this year. I can guarantee you everything in the game is pretty much set at this point and the work is being done.

Next year is the year you might see an impact.


But one of the most important things people need to remember is this: We are only there to give our feedback and suggestions. If the staff do not take our comments/info/concerns to heart, there's not much else we're going to be able to do.

With THAT said, I believe that they will take our comments to heart and you will see a difference. This opens the door considerably for consumer-developer interaction, something I've pushed for many years.

Exciting time to be a baseball... and The Show... fan.

Re: MLB Baseball Community Press Release

so what exactly is the difference between this and listing bugs etc. in the forum, seems to me if scea comes here and reads the forums they see all this anyways.

Re: MLB Baseball Community Press Release

I'd love to donate anything baseball to the group but I'm probably overly critical of my baseball games...
Any way I could help though I would. Of all the sports, baseball is my "religion"

Re: MLB Baseball Community Press Release

Might not be a bad idea to include Razr to this list. I believe there was another person he worked with to edit the stances in the Knight Roster. They both did a fantastic job.
