Re: MLB 13 The Show Features Twitter Feeds From Approved and Official Twitter Handles
Do players not comment and congratulate each other if they had a record breaking game some how? If someone is on a streak, hits 4 HRs in a game, goes off and steals 6-7 bases in a game, or the older players hit bigger milestones? I have seen that stuff before...and occassionally there is talk from the players about a trade that was just made official.
I dont pay attention to everyone in the MLB. So to get my attention about some of these things happening on other teams, you have to tell me or I wont know..cause Im playing the show and not sticking my face in computer to sort through all the people I follow.
Also, maybe we're spoiled with the Blue Jays but they all do a lot of tweeting...and a lot of people get on JPA and then he blocks them and cry's. Or some news guy will show his stats and say hes a fantasy bust and JPA will call him fat and cry again.
I know most of it is "Hey I just had a great work out..." "I like black socks" "look what I just ate" but some things are hilarious like Jose Reyes standing in a village somewhere smiling, pointing at a burro (donkey, ***, pack mule) or standing next to a player, pointing and smiling, or just pointing and smiling.
Not for everyone Im sure but I can see how this could be fun.Comment

For the most part they do. I often read conversations between 2 players. And many give congrats on trades, birth of children, contract extensions.
Things like that.Comment

If you go to https://theshownation.com/ and read their home page, you will see a Twitter feed.
I'm betting that's similar to what/who we will be seeing in MLB13.Comment

I think that would be interesting and add to the game alot more. From the pictures they released it looks like it will be a separate "mode" as well as another layer on the player cards.Comment

Re: MLB 13 The Show Features Twitter Feeds From Approved and Official Twitter Handles
A lot of people actually did want the feature, they just wanted it implemented differently.
Personally, I would've preferred some replacement of the newspaper. I read it after every game of the season, both my team and the league one. Not sure why, just found it interesting even though it was kinda repetitive. In this state, twitter is more or less irrelevant to me. I probably won't use this feature, but I do think a lot of people will. I don't care about most of the things the players tweet about, but my 13 year old little brother is probably going to spend more time on this twitter in game than playing games trying to see what CC and the rest of his favorite players are up to.
Regardless, having read through this whole thread, for me it's a little disappointing. Would've preferred franchise integration, didn't get it. Oh well. I also didn't care for DD last year so I'm used to it I guess haha. I'm more upset over the fact that the newspaper isn't coming back than the Twitter deal. And the fact that the only way to keep up with stuff now will be with a ticker on the bottom of the screen. But it's whatever I guess. It'll still be a day 1 purchase. I'll play it nonstop (at least for the first week until God of War comes out, and then jump back on it after that) just like I do every year. Excited for March 5.Originally posted by G PericoComment

Fake tweets to match our RTTS or Franchise would have been very cool, but with the way they have this set up, it would have been much better if it was integrated in to the menu screen or background, like a widget.
I don't see myself or too many others going through the menu to find a twitter feed, but if it was integrated on the screen at all times, it would be more useful.Comment

I think it's a step in a good direction if they find more way to integrate it, but i always have my phone on me, and Twitter loads in 3 seconds and I access tweets that way. Fake tweets would have added more immersion, but either way this affects me in no way.Comment

Re: MLB 13 The Show Features Twitter Feeds From Approved and Official Twitter Handles
So the tweets that are shown in game, will it be all tweets by the players' twitter accounts? Or is it only a subset of them?
Also will the twitter handles be set and not change from day one? For example if a player gets traded, will their handle show up on their new or old team? Or will it be dictated at all by the updated rosters?Comment

Re: MLB 13 The Show Features Twitter Feeds From Approved and Official Twitter Handles
The tweets shown on the Shownation page are a really good example of most MLB players' tweets. Retweets, replies to other people and other inane stuff. Consider the ball dropped here
Hell I don't even see twitter accounts for Santana or Cabrera from the Tribe and those are the first two I checked.Comment

Re: MLB 13 The Show Features Twitter Feeds From Approved and Official Twitter Handles
I'm an old man. I don't use Twitter, and I've learned to not care what any pro athlete or celebrity has to say about much of anything. To those who wanted this feature: cheers. To those who wanted something else: sorry.
But for me:
