Re: MLB 13 The Show Video - The Show Live

He throws a split-circle, the "OK" sign is just a way to put pressure on the inside of the ball to manipulate the fading/diving movement.

Anyway, I know there's a really fine line here... I'm sure there are people who could care less how the pitch moves as long as its "labeled" correctly, and then there's the rest who don't care about the name and more about the movement. I've come to cope with the limitations of the system and try to incorporate both when I do edits, off the top of my head the most notable example is Kimbrel's breaking ball - he calls it a curve, it breaks like a curve, but its speed is more like a slider and therefore f/x calls it a slider... In-game the velocity cap for curveballs is 84 mph, so I have no choice but to give him a slurve. Situations like these require a human eye, there's no way around it.

Yup... eventually I want to see different pitches even more dynamically affecting the gameplay and more closely aligned with pitch fx data...

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but the pitch edits in the player editor this year works like RTTS, where the min and max pitch speed for individual pitch vary according to the rest of the pitch speed repertoire. Don't know if this solves the Kimbrel issue but if you are doing pitch edits that's something to keep in mind.....

Hmm... very interesting. I haven't really dabbled into RTTS since '10 so I don't really remember how the system works - what is the minimum difference in fastball/changeup separation? I'm really hoping you say zero lol

Re: MLB 13 The Show Video - The Show Live

This should be alleviated - they're directly affiliated with MLB.com and therefore MLB gameday (pitch f/x) as well. The big issue now is pitch classification and movement, since the system only designates 12 pitch types (I believe The Show has 18 types), don't expect to see these pitch types with any regularity: running fastballs, circle changeups, 12-6 curves, sweeping curves, or slurves. It sucks because running fastballs (4-seam with movement) and circle changes are two of the most common pitches thrown in the MLB...

Here are some numbers to put it in perspective:

I have 805 MLB pitchers with pitch f/x data, 262 (32.5%) have a running fastball as their primary pitch, 221 (27.4%) have a 4-seam, 138 (17.1%) have a 2-seam, 89 (11%) have a sinker.

547 (68%) throw a circle change, 159 (19.8%) throw a straight change.

225 (28%) throw a traditional curve, 183 (22.7%) throw a sweeping curve, 42 (5.2%) throw 12-6 curve

478 (59.4%) throw a slider, 87 (10.8%) throw a slurve

446 (55.4%) throw a running fastball, 303 (37.6%) throw a 4-seam

I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for all you do Mr. SeanJezzy!!

Your Pitch Edits are TREMENDOUS

Re: MLB 13 The Show Video - The Show Live

Can somebody tell me if they have changed Anti-Aliasing from 2xMSAA to a post-processing method? I think maybe I have been playing on PC too long but this one is looking extra jaggy to my eyes. Thanks for any help. I know how they are starved for memory. PS4 coming soon!

It's not an entirely new system... I don't remember how those speeds vary, they could be exactly the same as in MLB 12 or different. But roughly what happens is that, say, you want your pitcher to have 100 mph 4SFB. So, you give Pitch Speed = 99. However, this doesn't quite bring his velocity to 100 mph, if the rest of his pitches have low pitch speed ratings....

So this might actually alleviate too much speed differentials among pitches... though how exactly this happens, I didn't test thoroughly (I could've... see how much I blanked out at the event). But, unfortunately, I think the game doesn't treat CH as a pitch to take some speed off of the pitcher's fastest pitch.... so if you let a position player pitch, then I think he'd still have 75 mph 4SFB and 84 mph CH or something like that.

Hate to be a nitpicker but I thought it was pretty funny when at the 2:45 mark the Rangers player slid into third, came up jersey still looking pearly white and then proceeded to brush himself off!

So real it's unreal !

To me it's more about how they run the bases. They run like robots!

For robotic running you should check out the other game.

We can say that for almost every features then. Interesting to see how Bluenames here are reacting to any feedback not inline with their thinking.

Bluenames?

You mean non-freeloading members of O.S.?

I think that's an exaggeration, but I do see what you're seeing too. I just don't interpret it as robotic.

I think the animation is smooth and well done, but it's repetitive due to the nature of the action ( running ). Since this is a video game though, the animation repeats exactly.

Overall, I think The Show's animation is extremely well done.

The person who made that comment, isnt a "bluename", so maybe its actually reality rather than reaction.

I think you were actually supposed to wait for the rise you were trying to induce from a bluename, before calling out a bluename...

Re: MLB 13 The Show Video - The Show Live

It does(make sense...and is a good question)....and I think that if the player is on the updated roster from later in the year....he will appear when playing that earlier in the year game.

That would be sweet, that way I would just have to wait a day or two before playing with the "real" new players.

Re: MLB 13 The Show Video - The Show Live

I don't know if this has been answered already, but in MLB 13 can we go back and play games from 2012 with the accurate '12 rosters? And if yes, how far back in time can we go?
