Re: MLB 13 The Show Q & A Thread

Ohh gotcha, thanks. I didnt even notice they were throwbacks. I wish they would have left the logos alone though. It added a little to the catchers gear, oh well.

They got rid of the logos in order to recreate the catchers' real-life mask paint schemes... why on earth would you NOT want this?

I'd say that having the real-life art adds a little more to the to the catchers gear using fake paint schemes, wouldn't you?

Re: MLB 13 The Show Q & A Thread

How does player progression look so far? Last year, when a player's overall exceeded his potential (i.e. B overall C potential), that player regressed extremely fast no matter what they were doing on the field. That was something that always sort of bugged me because my players with high potential were not progressing that fast, but those other players were regressing extremely fast.

I've read that they did overhauls with player progression. I was just wondering how players with higher overalls than potentials were holding up, or if they regress just as fast as they did last year.

The game has real twitter feeds for the real players.
No fake ones(for franchise and such)

We'll be getting real life twitter updates from the players. Users can choose the players they get updates from.

Thanks guys.

Has anyone ran season sims to ensure the budgets/free agents/trades seem to be somewhat solid.

Re: MLB 13 The Show Q & A Thread

Anyone tried offline co-op yet?
How does that work? I know you can pick what field (infield or outfield) each user get control of.
Are there any problems with this mode?

Thanks!

Good day fellow Show players. Could someone answer if in this new version of the Show, how detail are the STATS when you click on the player's card? Like for instance: A Closer it wasn't showing how many BSV(blown saves), for batters I think they were missing 2B & 3B in the position players card. Thanks in advance.

We usually have annual co-op matches during CD. Everything was smooth as usual. It is definitely a very fun part of the week; it can get heated at times! j/k. We have built up some good rivalries though.

Not sure how familiar you are with the mode, but: Yes, you can choose what positions you want to play, or you can alternate by inning. Your positions are indicated by different color player indicators. You can also have different settings for different users, on the same team... from batting camera to difficulty to controls. Even with that, it all played seamlessly.

Yes...they are a blast.
It's a really fun way to play the game.

Way to clear this up for me ,while being a complete a**.

How is the CPU Manger AI this year? My biggest problem with it in years past has been A- they never do L/L R/R matchups (IE will bring in a new RHP to face LaRoche) and B-- They sometimes leave the reliever in too long, but other times will pull him as soon as he allows a run. The game looks amazing and if this was tuned I think it would be near perfect

Thanks for the very detailed explanation!
This answer doesn't really help me though as I'm going back and forth as to which game(s) to get.
But thanks for making it an even harder decision, haha!

Re: MLB 13 The Show Q & A Thread

can we edit the innings (besides only in season mode)?

Re: MLB 13 The Show Q & A Thread

Honestly guys, how is fielder speed this year?
Are guys still camping under fly balls no matter where they are hit?
Balls being gotten to too fast n the corners?
Any hits OVER the head of a fielder heading towards the wall?
And finally something that has been said is fixed, but has anyone seen no mans land pop ups falling in, in fair or foul play?

thanks

So far I seen them all over the place, bloops, no mans land, OF bobbles , dropped fly balls, screamers down in the corners rumbling around, off the walls, not to many stretched out ones which is good, much variety of hits which very cool. This was both RTTS and season play so far.

Good questions.
I'd like to add one as well, how is the push/pull mechanic?
I noticed in one of the vids posted by Rob (much appreciated btw!), that Trout hit one out down the RF line.
Looking at his spray-chart, Trout's pretty good at spraying the long-ball, but he hit only 2 out in dead RF:

I'm hoping that was a rare occurrence. Most bombers are only pull power hitters. Not too many Miggy's in the league.
