MLB 13 The Show: The Little Things Thread

Re: MLB 13 The Show: The Little Things Thread

B-ma bringing the knowledge again, and once again I encourage everyone who plays this game to read the in-game strategy guide:



Info like this, like anything else posted in this thread, really helps to enrich my gameplay experience.

I think I am going to start taking about 75% of the first pitches for now and see if I can generate some walks that way. There is no way that I take 53% of the pitches. If I am really concentrating, I can usually lay off most of the pitches outside of the zone, but I would guess that my "really concentrating" only occurs on about 25% of the at bats. I don't know if there are too many things going on in my mind, too many distractions from the wife and kids, or I'm just a head case, but I get into swing mode far too often.

Guess pitch was a crutch I know, but it allowed for some patience at the plate. I would not swing until 2 strikes most of the time unless I got GP right. Then on two strikes I would protect.

I'm not going to say that I won't buy the game, or not play it because that is just not true. If the devs feel that this is how they want the game, I will adjust, just hard to do after playing one way for so long.

(I am posting this here even though I am not sure it belongs in the little things thread, but I wanted to quote that picture of the breakdown of results percentages)

When I hit what seemed to be a solid shot up the middle and it was snagged by Cano...

then he flipped it BEHIND HIS BACK to Jeter to start the 4-6-3 Double Play.

I wanted to yell but it was so pretty!! lol

Came here to post a bug about Russell Martins jersey reading J. Martin. But knowing the Show likes to throw "little things" in all the time I looked it up and sure enough it's not a bug. Very cool: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big...urn=mlb,138943

Re: MLB 13 The Show: The Little Things Thread

If this has been in the game in the past I've never seen it.

Playing the Yankees and it's the fifth inning. After a run scores I get a OSD with the AL Logo and something about scoring a run in every inning. Matty V. into a statement about how it's early to talk about it, but it's rare that a team scores a run in every inning. It's only happened 5 times in the AL the last being the Royals in 1998 (I think was the year he said).

Also, as someone else pointed out saw a short hop on a catcher's throw to second. I've never seen that before.

Might be a cool little thing and a bug all in one. I just gave up a hit to Youk with the Red Sox. A little graphic came up saying "The Youk 3,000 watch" Cool right? Then it says that was hit number 1,031, which is correct. Why do we have a Youk 3,000 watch?

Jayson Werth hits a no doubter, and CarGo in left field doesn't like it

I know it's been in the game for a few years, but I always find it funny when they say...."They got Utley to chase"

Vasgerian references Vin Scully for Dodger games.

Re: MLB 13 The Show: The Little Things Thread

Sorta surprised they still have "This week in baseball" ads considering that show was ended before MLB12 even came out....

I was just messing around in a fantasy draft season. I was playing the Blue Jays. I pitched it and it was clear that it was gonna be home. I had trout climb up the wall to try but failed. However Vascersian had a hilarious quote in my opinion.

"Trout climbs up the wall and can't REEL it in. Pun intended"

In the past few editions of the Show, I've seen a few 3,000 Watches for players that are about 1500 shy. I think it's just a little joke from the Dev Team. I've also seen something along the lines of, "With that hit, Avila is now 89th all time for career hits as a Tiger".

Re: MLB 13 The Show: The Little Things Thread

I hit a HR over right field wall in Comercia Park in Deroit. While watching the replay and noticed two shark paintings on a Skyscraper in downtown Detroit. I love sharks an thought this was unique. Anybody know why they are there?

I love how they added the line "clear the deck cannonball coming" when a pirate hits a home run. Tribute to the great Greg brown.

Actually, I think it happens when the guy before A-Rod gets a hit, because it happened with Brett Gardiner as well. Both times when this happened A-Rod came to the plate next.

Not sure if mentioned, but cool when you do fantasy draft, every player is in cyberface form. So if you wanna quick check any guys cyberface portrait, just do fantasy draft and find him.
