I think adding in home run distance for all home runs would be a nice addition.

It is in the game.....

Where can you see the home run distance for every home run?

Are you a cubs fan trying to blame dusty baker for Mark Prior?

He was an all star player and played the game for a long time.

A 3 time manager of the year with a record over 500. I'll be shocked if they aren't in the world series this year.

Well they cant when the Nationals will

Its been discussed already but I'm really upset with the Simmed strikeout totals. In year two of my franchise Jacob Turner had 115 innings pitched and 7 K's. That is absolutely impossible.

Re: Operation Sports MLB 13 The Show Community Impressions Thread

I use Classic pitching. It's been my favorite for years. Most of us who loved "High Heat" back years ago were introduced to a system of pitching that had pitches miss their spot randomly.

The Show has perfected that. If someone has great coordination they can master meter pitching and pulse pitching. But, no man alive can master Classic pitching.

If you're using a scrub pitcher and try to throw a ball in the dirt to an elite hitter, it may likely drift right over the middle of the plate and you'll quickly be uttering expletives!

Even if you do not sim your games, you are still going to sim the CPU vs CPU games. Fact is, it is broken as of now. Chad Billingsley had 33 K's in 119 through the all star break. I'm not too worried as SCEA has a great track record in fixing these kinds of issues.

It's fun. It's like being a GM and getting to make your own moves and everything. Don't get how people really get full experience of franchise mode without simming big part of it, since it'd take several months(in real life) to play through just a single season of the game. Simming it makes you get through as many seasons as you want, and build the team completely like how you want

"One button press" pitching that essentially takes user input out of the pitching game.

How well a pitcher hits his spots is dependent on ratings, fatigue, game situation... as opposed to being able to master a meter and hitting spots even with poor pitchers

so if i understand classic pitching is more out of your hands? you choose the pitch and then thats it. everything else is determined based on what you mentioned? pulse pitching would be the closest to 2k's analog pitching then. the other pitch option reminds me of foul shots in 2k. stopping the moving cursor close to the line.
does TheShow have actual analog pitching like 2k? where each pitch requires a different motion?

You also select location.

Tapping X is less of an effort and theoretically more accurate, although you can still miss your spots

Holding X longer adds effort to pitch which reduces accuracy more while making breaking pitches break sharper (not always a good thing) and adding umph to a FB

Meter still uses the ratings of a pitcher, man. Even if you master it, you're still going to kiss spots and get rocked with a poor pitcher.

First 10 seconds looks a bit closer to 13's stance than 12's to me. U can see him rest the bat on his shoulder for a split second is where I guess they got the idea from.

It only nails the bat placement for about 5% of his entire stance. It's not even close. I'd rather have the one from 12, as would everybody else.

There is also The Show's version of analog pitching, which is similar to MVP's rock and fire mechanic. Although nothing like 2K's analog mechanic, I would say it's the closest since it actually uses the analog sticks. So, in the show you have the following pitching options:

- Classic
- Meter
- Analog
- Pulse
- PS Move

It should be noted that Classic pitching isn't totally out of your control. You control the aim location, as well as the accuracy vs. effort depending on your button press.

The available batting options are:

- Timing (button)
- Analog (right analog)
- Zone (left analog + button)
- Zone plus Analog (dual analog)
- PS Move

The yellow 'zone' you are referring to is called the PCI (plate coverage indicator) and it can be turned on with any batting mechanic. The timing only methods use ratings to place it in the zone.

Also, each batting mechanic has three types of selectable swings - normal, contact and power.

Hope that helps.

So in the 200+ generic stances as well there's not one that's close. That sucks. To me it's not a huge deal, but someone of Cano's stature should really have an accurate stance.
