MLB 13 The Show Fact Sheet

Re: MLB 13 The Show Fact Sheet

I'm one of those guys who absolutely adores little (ahem big) details like grass color and dirt and stadium/uniform accuracy. Even I would never have the guts to say, nor the stupidity imo, that looking at that list brings nothing to mind that I would be interested in or care about seeing in the game.

Literally, they just put some major finishing touches on some of the most broken systems in the game. I can't even believe people are whining there isn't enough on there AND we still have community day and whatever comes from that. How can you NOT care about animations, franchise, controls, etc.? What friggin' game are you even playing? Literally they just made this game 5x better for me than 12 imho as long as I can see notable improvements in uni/stadium accuracy as well.

I just ate 10 homemade mexican-style tacos. I'm gonna cry now.

Couldn't agree more. What they have done is immense and will totally improve the game.

However I am also a guy that would like to see stadium, grass and uniform improvements. I'm sure they will have made improvements in that area too even though its not mentioned.

Re: MLB 13 The Show Fact Sheet

That's one heck of a list. Sounds like they made some substantial improvements all around.

I just dont see it. How is the game 5 times better? To me it seems like the same game with some improvements to franchise mode, more stances, and two new modes Im pretty sure I'll never play (like hr derby) in playoff mode and their version of mlb today. Im excited that franchise will be improved, but Ive never completed a single season of franchise anyways, so I doubt the improvements will make a huge difference.

I see incremental improvements, yes, but I dont see anything revolutionary. Revolutionary would be signing the rights for MiLB players and including a full real minor league roster.

Minor League players have no union, so they'd have to sign every player to individual likeness contracts. Even if that wouldn't be cost-prohibitive, which it would be, it would take far more time and paperwork than any game company would reasonably commit to. So setting the "revolutionary" bar there is only setting yourself up for disappointment.

Re: MLB 13 The Show Fact Sheet

Well, its safe to say the bar for gaming Fact Sheets has just been raised to a whole new level.

So much on there to get excited about, so many little changes requested by the community they have made - incredible customer service and attention to detail.

Roll on March.

Re: MLB 13 The Show Fact Sheet

Holy crap! How did I miss this on the fact sheet.

21. Ability to assign swing animations when creating or editing a player... follow through, step in, etc...

This could be a game-changer if there are enough options. If its only a few choices like, one handed, two handed or step in/straight it might not be that great. But if they have for example a, none/low/med/high step animations to choose from along with other options like one/two handed follow through it could be amazing and fix a huge issue I've had with the game for years (inaccurate swing animations attached to pretty accurate stances)

[gigadkc]

damn, gotta admit that this sounds pretty good.

[LastActionHero]

Wow this list is almost too much!
SCEA should win an award for dev team of the year(s).

If anyone could confirm foul tips in catcher glove out is in I'm done for this year

And could anyone expand on this feature though:

Button Accuracy Meter (PS3 & PS Vita) – Users will now have more control over the fielding aspects of the game than ever before. For users who choose the new button accuracy meter they will now have complete control over the fielders arm accuracy and arm strength. No longer will an errant throw be the result of a random dice roll.

Is this like how analog throwing works but is now also integrated for the button throwing option?

Re: MLB 13 The Show Fact Sheet

So how does this Show Live thing work? I will be able to use The Show Live in Season mode and play-through the Brewers season with w/e lineup they put out for that day?

I'm not really sure how this works.

[thevaliantx]

Not impressed. Manage-only mode got no attention, apparently. Nothing about one-pitch mode. So I get to sit there and press a button to advance to the next pitch.

Re: MLB 13 The Show Fact Sheet

This is outstanding!... I'm a franchise guy. Pretty much exclusively. Music to my ears. Very excited to see how these scouting,training,budget implementations work out.

[thevaliantx]

Im really not happy that generated pitch counts didnt make it in. People have brought this up for years. I'm not sure why this gets overlooked every year. Most of the stuff on that list is meaningless to me, but I guess to each his own.

I'll still buy the game though.

My most under-rated new addition I havent seen anyone mention is that there are now a bunch of PCI options.

The biggest question mark noones mentioned yet. What did guess pitch evolve into?!

Wow, I just posted basically the same thing. Clearly SCEA has listened to the folks who want to play their game on a palm pilot ... wait, VITA ...... and wantedmore stats on their baseball cards, but nothing was done for those who like to manage games (isn't that what franchise mode is for?). I'll pass.

[woody2goody]

I really liked '12 but I was so rubbish at hitting! Hopefully '13 will be ok in that respect.

Foul tip outs were active in November so unless there was a tragedy with it in the game it still should be there.

The button accuracy is along the lines of analog where you now control your velocity and accuracy on the throw with a button press. If I recall correctly your initial press determined velocity and how long you held the button activated a line toward the different sections of the meter (red yellow green) which determined your accuracy. I am interested in how the finished product turned out, as it was a work in progress when we were there.
