I know its a small thing but I hate that the cpu defensive alignment is always the same.

Click in on right stick, survey the field, and its always straight away at the exact same depth, never changes

Should not be the case. I'll double check tomorrow, but I think you may be letting hyperbole take over here...

Well, lets see...

I've played no less than 100 innings and have checked the defense nearly every at bat. They look the same every time.

I would love it if I were wrong!

And, thanks for checking

Middle infielders should be changing depth for DPs, corners guarding against the bunt in certain situations (like no outs, runner on 1B, pitcher up to bat), shifts should be put on when certain batters are at the plate (try Teixeria or Ortiz por ejemplo), etc.

Re: Operation Sports MLB 13 The Show Community Impressions Thread

The only thing I would like to see more in this regards is more shifts(regular...not the extreme like Ortiz) for the new push/pull system.

Other than that...yes...I do see bunt defenses.....and DP depth....
I don't recall seeing the guard the lines...but I haven't looked close this year yet.

Definitely not the case... simply take an at-bat with Carl Crawford or Prince Fielder. The CPU absolutely employs extreme defensive positioning against them. It even changes if someone is in base in front of them.

Re: Operation Sports MLB 13 The Show Community Impressions Thread

Just for clarification, I'm primarily referring to the outfield and I'm referring to the cpu defense.

If everyone who has the game (since we all use different teams we could test a lot of hitters) could check the cpu outfield alignment please?

I have not seen any alignment but straight away and regular depth.

It is not a big deal. It only slightly takes away from the immersion. Obviously, I still love the game.

Strange. I used Fielder today and did not notice any change. But, its possible I didn't click for him. When I get my TV back from the women watching The Bachelor, I'll check again.

This would be great if you are right but outfielders should be aligning for more than just a couple of big name stars.

The next step with the push/pull player hitting set up is to have the fielders adjust accordingly. So we should be seeing it in the future versions.

Don't know if this is on purpose or just coincidence but I've had Johnson (Orioles) shut me down 3 times over the past 2 days. Today it was me as the Tigers he shut the door on.

Over the weekend, it was the Reds and the Blue Jays. Anyway thats not the point.

The point is that in all 3 of those saves he didn't strike me out. Like in real life, he pitched to contact and induced wek grounders and a couple of pop outs.

It was very cool to experience, even if it was only coincidence.

Just for you. I started a quick exhibition game Detroit (me) vs. SF (CPU)... Fast forwarded to Fielder's at-bat - that is the shortstop on the right of 2B. And the CF is playing deep, and shaded toward right.

Don't get too upset with her... Uncharted is a great trilogy.

Ur not kidding man. We're all addicted. Both my kids are elite in online deathmatch. I'm good for anything from 5 to 13 kills. They're usually around 14+

But I'm dying right now, especially after slab posted that pic. Gotta play
