Re: Community Day 2013 - FRANCHISE MODE/EDITOR

Okay O.S. Brethren......it's that time again.
Community Day for MLB The Show 2013.

For new guys, this is an event held by SCEA(Sony) that brings in members of the gaming community for several days in which we interact with the developers of the game in order to offer OUR insight into MLB The Show. This helps the developers get a better understanding of how we as the community would like to see their product direction move by taking our suggestions into consideration for the game.
Of course it also offers us a sneak peek at what's in store for this version(of course, we cannot reveal what we see until we get the okay from SCEA).

So...if you have a question about what's in '13....I can check on that.
If you have a suggestion on what you think should be in '14(we are long past the '13 suggestion time!) I can relay that to the proper dev.
If you just want to pop in and call me names.... (I get that enough already....I have a list.)

To make it easier....if you have something that was a bug or glitch that you want checked to make sure it was squashed....try and be as exact as possible in how this bug/glitch came up.

Also....I copy and past the questions/comments...so it would be REALLY helpful if in front of each separate thought/suggestion/question you put a space between the lines AND a -(that's a DASH) in front of each one as well.

Example:
-What color is hair on Player X's ballbag?

-Player A wears his pants three inches below his cleats...in the game it's been two and one half for years now.....that's ridiculous....can tell them this MUST be changed?

Thanks.

Thanks for this chance to respond Knight. Also, I greatly appreciate all the hard work that went into making an already great game even better!

I didn't see this question before. If it is there and I missed it, I apologize. In MLB 13 did the developers eliminate the cpu's ability to make managerial decisions on its own in manager mode? It moves fielders, calls for bunts, hit and runs, steals, etc. and makes lineup changes when you fast foward to a later inning. This is extremely frustrating. Without this fix, the game really doesn't have a true manager mode.

Thanks for listening!!!!

Re: Community Day 2013 - FRANCHISE MODE/EDITOR

I'm with you guys on the MoM "issues"(I'm sure you guys have heard me ad nauseum ....it really is only a forced CPU vs. CPU mode and some things were never overridden)

But I did bring up some things to them and hopefully they were able to correct some of them and add in some others.

We'll know more in a week or so!

WSU;

I'm in the fog on progression myself right now.
I'll let you know ASAP.

Get those eyes rested now knight. A lot of simming is in our near future.

Re: Community Day 2013 - FRANCHISE MODE/EDITOR

there was a major schedule glitch in 12' based on this video, this may have been patched and fixed already but I don't know. I hope this doesn't happen in 13' though or the whole game will be a major fail.

For example, It was causing the Cubs, to play all night games in the '2013' season, switching the day game over to the Cardinals or something and all teams start times and scheduling were just switched over to the next team.

Re: Community Day 2013 - FRANCHISE MODE/EDITOR

Actually....it sounds like the problem is he DIDN'T waive him...but instead RELEASED him making him a FA.
Did you try putting him on waivers and claiming him with the team you want him on?

In real life he was released, so no I released him to FA. Which still shouldnt matter as far as the Rule 5, especially that early in the season. Or does it?

[SFCFeagin]

Re: Community Day 2013 - FRANCHISE MODE/EDITOR

Yeah....I don't think it's a bug.
I think he just doesn't realize that he would need to pick up the guy off waivers.

I think I have confused you guys on this issue, sorry. Scenerio Lopez was released by the Indians. So I release him, he CLEARS waivers and goes to the FA Pool. A couple of weeks go by and the Indians resign him. I go to the FA pool to resign him and I get the "Cant sign FA until the Rule 5 Draft Nov 5" message. So in life the Indians did release him, cleared waivers, but NO team was allowed to sign him until after the Rule 5 draft, Does that make better sense? I know it sounds crazy, but a few others had the same issue last year. However, out of no where a few months later I tried again I was able to sign him back to the Indians.

Yes, that was fixed via patch.

Re: Community Day 2013 - FRANCHISE MODE/EDITOR

I just want the progression to be more dynamic. In the past we'd be restricted to +5 across the board so prospect lovers would have to play make believe with development.

Velocity should be upgradeable. Honestly with most of the pitchers in the draft having F velocity and a training devoted specifically to velocity improvement, I feel like they almost forgot to program that in.

I hope the talk of Human Error and whatnot means some A's turn out to be C's and some C's turn out to be A's. Aside from more A's being available in the entire draft, they should be available at the top. In real life, the players with the most potential are usually the best players at that moment. In MLB The Show, the teams at the top are duped into picking the best OVR players who are almost always D's or F's. I hope there's more variety in player types. For instance, there aren't that many different distributions of attributes for generated batters. And I think there should be less 5'11 SPs. Last of all teams shouldn't all be picking Closers in the first 15 picks.

Breathe in, breathe out...

Re: Community Day 2013 - FRANCHISE MODE/EDITOR

Has it been sad yet if the new budgets in MLB 13 will be mandatory? I usually play as a big market team like the Red Sox or Cubs so might not affect me so much, but I wonder if some players would want to just play with a smaller market team and not be hampered by the default budgets.

This brings another concern for me since I also sometimes like to do a fantasy draft. So I'd like every team to start on the same level if I'm doing a draft. Can you turn off the new starting budgets?

I don't think you can adjust the budgets before you begin a franchise....so if you take a small market team...until you win....it's...small.

On drafts, I believe the budgets are set after the draft.....aren't they?

I think so, but I'm curious as to how it will work now with the reworked budget system in 13. If it stays the same that should work out fine.

Has anyone said yet how large the budget increases can be? It would be a bit odd for the Pirates to become a 150+ mil team in short period, even after a decade I'd say that would be strange.

Also not sure if its been asked, but have all the old budget items been taken out completely? Like ads and TV contracts. Even if they don't affect the budget at all I would have liked to see them stay in just to make the experience of running a team feel more personal. But from what I'd read it seems like there will be no more of that stuff in any form.

If its like 12 budgets don't change until the offseason. Teams over budget in 12 could not sign their draft picks if they were over budget.

We were referring to a fantasy draft before you start a franchise.
