Anyone else getting a Vita to play this game on?

[bluealtoid]

The impressions have me somewhat concerned. The lack of replays is odd as even the psp had them. My most pressing question is if that means there are no signature home run swings/trots. This has always been missing from the psp versions and it was something I was really looking forward to. Can anyone with the game check for me? Also, just the lack of replays altogether for homeruns is really odd. As a good who's owned every single The Show fo psp, I was hoping this would be the year us portable guys finally got the real deal.

Yeah- you're probably going to be disappointed then... If however, you think of it as an extension of the PS3 version- and not a replacement, I think you'll be pretty happy with it. I love it.

I heard about this thread at gamefaqs. I created an account to post on this....lol.

I must be honest. I purchased a vita on launch day just for this game. I had 09 for the psp and wore that game out. I loved it. So naturally I thought this would be the game to top them all. To hear that a game that is 3 years older on an older system has more presentationi s absolutely absurd. I will in no way, shape or form support laziness on a developers game. Also to hear the excuse is that its meant to be just picked up and played on the go, not sat down and played for long periods of time. Hog wash. I am sorely disappointed at this.

I hope more people do not support this type of laziness.

You very clearly haven't been around long of you think this development team is lazy. You may not agree with the decision to go quick play only for the Vita version, but it was exactly that; a design decision.

When everyone that has the game says it plays quick, exactly how long does it take you to play a full game with nothing skipped.

On the console is around an hour and 40 minutes.

I understand the disappointment of not having the option of the full presentation, but it's not like SCEA hid this from us: they were up front from the jump about the Vita version being set to Quickplay and that was their decision, based on research they did.

Personally, yeah, I'd like to have the full presentation in, but on the other hand, think of how nice it'll be to get in 2 FRANCHISE games in less time than it would take you to finish ONE game on the PS3.

That, to me, is the selling point.

My only concern at this point is the Vita itself. I finally made my way in to BB the other day and picked up the display system and I'm not a big fan of the smaller buttons and the Analog controls felt about the same as the PSP's stick.

The analogs on the Vita are completely different from that little analog on the PSP.

How so? More responsive?

Re: Anyone else getting a Vita to play this game on?

I'm 50/50 on the presentations not being in because on one hand I usually skip the presentations anyway when I'm on the PS3/PSP (MLB 09), but on the other hand it's cool to have the option of having presentations.

I just gotta play the Vita version for myself to judge. Can't wait till midnight tomorrow!

Re: Anyone else getting a Vita to play this game on?

The analog stick on the PSP was some little slide analog with tight snap back to center. It didn't really rotate so much as side around on one plane. If you push it up/down/left/right it doesn't actually tilt.

And the quality of this game is so much better than the PSP iterations it's ridiculous that people would even compare them.

Re: Anyone else getting a Vita to play this game on?

I have preordered both games and will pick them up at BestBuy on Tuesday after work! Great deal getting $20 off when you buy both! Oh wait now I need to buy a Vita! Absolutly buying a Vita Just for this game! Cant wait to get the OSFM roster and start my franchise!

See, I'm all good with hearing about it being a design decision and stuff, but if it was a design decision for a default option, that would make much more sense. Not having the presentation because they assume that most people are not going to miss it on a handheld just doesn't make sense.

I've heard the "design decision" thing too many times to ask for another answer as to why it was a decision to leave out full presentation. If there are actual memory limitations (specifically with extra commentary), I will stand aside and fully understand that. If it's because they just thought that we wouldn't want it all anyway, that just doesn't make much sense. Same thing with them removing zone analog batting last year... because focus groups thought it was too hard. Leave it in as an option, and let us decide for ourselves. They brought it in this year, and I'm very glad how responsive they were to that.

I hope they can do the same next year for the Vita and full presentation (as an option, alternative from the quick play default), as well as an option for a normal/smaller ball size.

To answer the OP's question... yes.

They most likely cut down on presentation to fit as much of the PS3 version as they could onto the Vita flash disc.

How are the loading times?

Not bad at all... Maybe 20 seconds to get into a game.

Re: Anyone else getting a Vita to play this game on?

Don't ask me to find it...but I believe a dev actually alluded to time being a factor in the decision as well.
