Joe Giradi is my 3rd base coach for my RttS team. No big deal right? I play for the Red Sox....Didn't realize fired coaches can become coaches other than the manager...

Re: Operation Sports MLB 13 The Show Community Impressions Thread

Is this really how you interpreted our impressions, or are you just frustrated?

It would have been useless for us to detail the bugs that we caught at CD, just as it would have been useless for SCEA to give us patch details on the release day update.

And re-read my posts. Everything I shared (and not ALL were positive posts or just in the Impressions Thread either) I still believe to be true now. This game is exceptional. The greatest game I have ever played. But it does have it's flaws, which is to be expected.

But calling us or the team out is really pretty unfair.

I was not bashing anyone. I appreciate SCEA and those who participate in CD. For example, it took 3 years of me begging Ramone to fix the RISP bug; this year it was fixed. In my opinion, if the guys really played the game, how could they miss those glaring bugs?

I don't care if they play the game or not because it is their job to make the game so they may want to distance themselves from the game after it is done.

I agree that MLB 13 is the best sports game ever made and MLB 14 should follow in that similar path. I only own two games: MLB 13 for PS-3 and Vita. When I get a PS-4, I will only own two games. Can you guess which ones?

My point is that I do not understand how the K/9 could be so badly broken? There are just a lot of bugs every year. Maybe that is normal. Sorry if my comment bothered anyone in a negative way.

Thanks.

Did we?
You're assuming a lot.
Kind of late to be saying ...."sorry" now that you've already put it out there....

I didn't know that either. Another little thing

I know that you guys spent many, many hours playing the game and giving us input is very nice of you. I meant I wish SCEA would have caught the obvious bugs in the time they had. Thanks for your time.

Re: Operation Sports MLB 13 The Show Community Impressions Thread

Just had my 1st freeze...too bad because it was a great game. It froze in the top of the 9th in a 5-5 tie where my young C hit a 3 run HR to to tie the game in the 8th. I really hate losing my stats in a game. That's why I think all sports games should have auto save after big events like shooters do at checkpoints. Oh well it was just a ST game but still hate losing it and playing it for nothing. Guess I will save often now even if it is a hassle to save and then have to reload the game.

Loving the game otherwise though!

I had a no hitter in the eighth with one out and the game froze. I was so disgusted you have no idea. I decided to try switching TV inputs, went from game to TV and waited about 40 seconds or so. When I went back to the game, I was able to pitch!

I remember last year the same thing happened and I did the TV input switch and it worked, and that's why I tried it again. Maybe it's a sign that I need to do the rebuild data process?

Anyway, I took the no hitter into the ninth and with one out, I gave up a heartbreaking single It would have been a combined no hitter if successful. He hit a fastball low in his cold zone that he managed to pull past my third baseman. This was in spring training, a major letdown as I really wanted that trophy.

Re: Operation Sports MLB 13 The Show Community Impressions Thread

I realise this may sound strange, but this game has become TOO realistic. In a recent game as the Giants, Pablo Sandoval actually didn't fit on my TV screen during his first at bat, then standing on third base i could see he was eating a piece of cheese which caused him to misfield a line drive. I'm all for realism, but this is going to the extreme.

Re: Operation Sports MLB 13 The Show Community Impressions Thread

Just know before reading, I am a big "presentation" guy..so I was really excited about MLB13 and the improved crowd, especially in the postseason.

Is anyone else finding it a little...rough around the edges maybe? Especially for regular season games. I appreciate the crowds being more excited, but you just do not hear a constant cheering crowd through every inning of a baseball game as you do in MLB13. In a real game it's mostly chatter, vendors, brief applause for intoductions and cheers and chants throughout.

What I am hearing takes me out of the game quite a bit...does not seem matched up with what is going on. I am especially annoyed with the CONSTANT whistling! Is anyone else hearing this? It does not stop for an entire 9 inning game...to the point that my gf sitting next to me thought there was something wrong with the TV. (any hints on how to diminish this, because its really hard for me to get through a game with it and now I have the commentary AND the crowd turned all the way down to play a game...perhaps an audio adjustment on the TV or something?

[rant]my RttS won RotY, MVP, etc. gets hurt the last few weeks in spring. Comes back 4th game of season...naturally, he's relegated the bench and is no longer a starter. Yea, that totally makes sense....[/rant]

Re: Operation Sports MLB 13 The Show Community Impressions Thread

I'm loving the game like never before. Beginner Mode is for me a very significant addition. I see it as being helpful to more than just those new to the game, such as in my case, being 70 years old. The only thing I would like changed is an option to have it called Senior Mode

Last year I was trying lots of things, including lowering pitch speed to 0 and 1, but this year, I have it at default 5 and I'm doing okay!

This is the first year I've only bought one baseball game.

Keep those meatball pitches coming! Ah, spring training has been fun, but I expect things to get tougher once the regular season starts.

The other extremely significant change this year is downloading the full game. I used to have optical drive problems using the disc, got so bad I had to give up on the game, so this year I am very happy!

Re: Operation Sports MLB 13 The Show Community Impressions Thread

SCEAs reply to why they won't fix seats in MLB13:

Unfortunately, changing this would increase the patch by more than we would like to make consumers endure. We will address for MLB 14.

Some of those stadiums have had issues for years, so why are they acting like it was only first noticed in MLB13...


And don't get how it'll make the patch too big. Isn't typical patch only like 200mb....and that's with huge gameplay changes made, I'd think that changing minor things in a stadium wouldn't be that much.....

But I guess this also means that we will only have a single patch for the entire year, cause if not, then they should have been able to fit enough stuff into multiple patches instead of just only including a handful of things in a single patch

It is likely that after changing a minor detail in a stadium, you may need to download the whole stadium model again... that's probably what the dev is alluding to. I don't wish to see a patch being > a few GBs just fixing cosmetic details.

..... in fact, many patches work that way, you are essentially downloading the whole pre-compiled binary file for the game, not just a portion of it... in that sense "patch" is a misnomer.

Downloading game data is a different issue, but if a fix is needed in one file, it most likely takes downloading the whole data file again.

You didn't by chance catch the Dominican Republic versus USA WBC game last night did you?

I can tell you this, if I had paid $120 for a ticket, and had to be near the DR cheering section with the *Censored* air horns the ENTIRE GAME.... I would have gone insane.

I could barely watch it on the MLB Network, so while I hear the whistles on The Show, it is less bothersome than what I had to be subjected to last night.

BTW, you can go into the audio selection screen, and turn down crowd noise, ambient noise, announcer, vendors etc... and kind of get the game set to the way you like it. The defualt settings has them all maxed.
