Re: MLB 13 The Show Video - The Show Live

Well, holy hell. I'm not sure what to make out of these new presentation elements I'm seeing in the video... damn glorious is all I have to say! Wow, seems they really went the extra step.

I knew presentation was going to improve, but in no way was I expecting to see camera men walking with the interviewer on field and actual interview animations!! Just so damn awesome, definitely what this game needed! Show Live seems like an awesome feature, but I probably won't use it a whole lot until the actual season is over to be honest.

Absolutely fantastic job by the devs on this aspect of the game this year... the amount of immersion this seems like it's going to add is HUGE. I am one happy guy on this lonely Valentines Day ...lmao

Looks like Konerko got some new batting stance love! Looks great too! Creds to the guy doing the mo-cap work for stances and pitch deliveries u are really nailing them!

Also love how the teams run out of the dugout together out to the field!

And lastly the post-game interview is a great touch as well!

The Show is definitely becoming quite polished!

I still see that US Cellular field is messed up.....the wall behind the stands in left field is still just a solid grey wall when it should look exactly the same as it does in right field. I dont understand how 2 years in a row that was has no textures on it like it was never finished.

This is the perfect mode for me. During school ball which begins the day before the game is released, it's a perfect mode that let's me get my daily dose of MLB The Show without having to deal with all of the Franchise things but it's so much more than a simple exhibition game. Can't Wait

Oakland outfield - down the line sections, are just flat out wrong again. Where did all the stadium feedback go? Did you guys even read it? Oh well.

Sorry for the negativity but show a little more attention to detail... Especially when you guys solicit feedback.

Well I can confirm I won't look at any Oakland A's related stuff again.

This is just a pure guess and speculation, but in talking to the Artist Graig Kreindler who does some amazing baseball artwork, he told me that in order for him to create the works he does and make any money from it, they cannot be EXACT in detail to the original photos. So my guess is, in order for SCEA to be able to do the same in recreating something that has been created by someone else, they may have to change some minor details to make it their own.

Either that, or what you are seeing is simply the artists rendition of what he sees.

But, I wouldnt assume they are not "listening" or ignoring you.
There may just be greater restrictions on what they can and cannot do.

The rule is if a guy didn't appear in a game in 2012 they won't be in the game for 13.

It's all good man, I have let them know about a lot of the problems with the stadium, but they weren't able to make any of the structural changes because there was not enough time. Some of the more minor things like sign colors have been adressed.

*Warning! Warning!* Major O.co/Oakland Coliseum Issues Inbound!

Images will be spoilered for size.

=[Updated 4PM PST 1/6/13: "Dimensions in general" section added]=

There are major issues with the outfield fences

Corners
The corner fences are waaaay too small in horizontal length (not height). Many aspects of the park are affected by this. I would estimate that a good 15-20 feet of the wall horizontally is missing. Because of this, the bleachers/patio behind each corner wall have been shrunk so there are no seats inside of the foul poles (one whole section missing), and the sign behind the wall is incorrectly placed. The wall in-game appears to slant away from home plate at a much steeper rate than in real life (don't have a good reference photo, however), which eliminates available space behind the wall and prematurely starts the out-of-town scoreboard area inside of 367. Since the fences are symmetrical, the problem exists on both sides, but also means a fix for one size = a fix for both sides, so that much is good. Unfortunately, since this error affects the rest of the outfield fence, a complete re-do of the fences (and maybe of the entire outfield stands) would probably be needed to fix these problems.

Spoiler

Real life:


This one is actually from a bit long ago, but the stands/patio are the same.


In-game:

Out-of-town Scoreboards

Both out-of-town scoreboards in the outfield are too small (again in horizontal length, not height). Also, the placements of the scoreboards are not correct due in part to the botched corner fences, in that in-game they start too close to the foul line. The scoreboard takes up pretty much the entire jut-in from the 367 to 362 with the exception of 1 or 2 panels on the inside of the 367. If the corners are fixed so they go out further, this will hopefully fix itself. Also the facade above the scoreboard is too big (very minor). The longer scoreboard should also allow for more space in between letters and numbers just like real life.

Spoiler

Real life:

Yellow lines represents the straight line wall from the 367 to 362, and as the distance suggests, the wall actually cuts in a bit.

Green lines are the approximate starting points for the out of town scoreboard in relation to the stands above it.

Red line is the short 1 or 2 panels of wall between the end of the out-of-town scoreboard and 367.



In-game:





Facade

Real life


In-game

Dimensions in general
As you will see in the pictures below, the curvature of the fences is off. In-game it juts out from the foul line and then is pretty much a straight line from 367 out to the 388 mark. IRL, inside of 367 it juts in and out and is by no means a straight line. Because the fences are not curved correctly, the stands behind them are not in the correction position, either.

Spoiler

Real life: (thank you to sydrogerdavid for this)


In-game:

More minor things

The second deck is not moved in enough, and does not extend far enough near the outfield corners because of the messed up walls.

This is from the 3D seating thing on the A's website, simulating where you would be in the corner of the second deck in the outfield. Approximate placement that it should be in-game I will draw in the overview thing later on.

Spoiler

"Athletics" wall logo

Spoiler

Mt. Davis Tarps

Spoiler

EDIT: Just noticed that "Athletics" IRL takes up 3 sections, while in-game it takes 4 and is therefore off-center.

Real life: (Notice tarp coverings between sections. All other rows between sections are uncovered.)


In-Game:

Value deck & backstop

Spoiler

Overview of some basic stuff I've gone over. Someone needs to hook me up with an accurate stadium dimensions map for the Coliseum so I can do this more precisely!

Spoiler

This took me a LONG *** time to put together and I know it's pretty incomplete, confusing, and unofficial, but I had to get this out there at least. I will update as I see fit.

Here's to change!

thaSLAB's response:

Spoiler

I went over all your request with the artist for O.co and they are working on the non-structural things. It was too late in the game to move walls and stairs and stuff, but they do keep this info in a vault for next year. Those types of changes effect collision detection and have to be re-proofed. So don't expect those changes but stuff like signage, color changes, and even the upper deck open tarp section look to be feasible.

This is just a pure guess and speculation, but in talking to the Artist Graig Kreindler who does some amazing baseball artwork, he told me that in order for him to create the works he does and make any money from it, they cannot be EXACT in detail to the original photos. So my guess is, in order for SCEA to be able to do the same in recreating something that has been created by someone else, they may have to change some minor details to make it their own.

There may just be greater restrictions on what they can and cannot do.

There are major issues with the outfield area, so I understand his anger, but he could have put it a little nicer let's just say. To get an idea, you can look at my post from the Stadium feedback thread above.

Re: MLB 13 The Show Video - The Show Live

My initial reaction to hearing about this mode...

[DubTrey1]

Assuming this was an early build shown, as it still had the Astros playing NL teams, rather than AL opponents.

Re: MLB 13 The Show Video - The Show Live

Sorry if this has been answered already, this thread grew fast.

Was it ever answered how this mode will handle players that are not on the latest roster update?

So if the latest roster update has players from June 6th and a player is called up June 9th how does the game handle this?
