Re: Operation Sports MLB 13 The Show Community Impressions Thread

I really like Matt V. Maybe I'll hear the other guys more when I start Franchise.

I know it sounds like I have been railing on this game with my last few posts in here but I really do like this game. I'm just trying to point out things I think can be improved.

Yeah DJ, once you get into your franchise you will hear a lot more. The commentary is pretty much the same as 12, except Lyons is now in the booth. I like his approach and it is nice hearing another new voice. I have always enjoyed Matty V.

I love the fact they have really improved a lot of the milestone watches for so many players. A very nice touch this year.

OSD's IMO have been greatly improved too. And the warm up pitch music which I initially was not fond of ( I liked my old time ball park organ music) has grown on me a ton after playing a lot of games. It now gets me pumped up.

All around superb effort on 13.

Re: Operation Sports MLB 13 The Show Community Impressions Thread

The game is fluid, and it is a great baseball sim. cant say enough about the animations, the logic etc. all of it is on point. But the fact is that, for some reason this game can be, boring more often than not.

I would blame it on the commentary, that could be part of the problem. the pace is a bit stale at times even on fast play mode. sometimes the game plays as dry as a text based sim. Again I cant explain it. IT could be that IM not in full baseball mode yet. Maybe its because I no longer have enough time to really dive in and really immerse myself.

Again, the game is such a great game but so far lacks something.

I complain for years to the other game that they didn't have Colorado's 3rd jersey black/black vest right.

I finally pony up for a PS3 to play the best game and play with my team outfitted the right way... and they have pruple sleeves. I know the MLB style guide has black vest with purple sleeves, but they have worn that combo 1 time in 6 years whereas they have worn the vest with black sleeves combo hundreds of times.

Anyway, I play 2k13 at Best Buy today... wouldn't you know it? The year I jump ship, 2K finally have the Rockies black/black vest in their game and the game I jumped ship for reverted back to incorrect purple/black. Just my luck!

I really wish there was a way the Sony team could fix the Rockies alternate vests this year so that they have black sleeves instead of purple sleeves.

I know to some it is no big deal, but put yourself in a Rockies fan shoes. If you were a Yanks fan would it sit well with you if the home set had incorrectly colored pinstripes?

Still a great game. But to this Rockies fan the authenticity is just not there with the incorrect jersey.

Just an observation, for next years game, the Rogers Centre will need to have the windows in CF removed as it is now an open air deck.

I feel the same way, I think the game is really lacking in the immersion factor.

I basically feel like I'm playing exhibition game over and over in franchise mode for some reason.

Re: Operation Sports MLB 13 The Show Community Impressions Thread

Just started my Twins franchise. I'm liking it so far, the physics of the ball have improved greatly. The commentary has improved, probably not as much as everyone had hoped but definitely an improvement. I just don't see them improving it significantly until the PS4, though.

Question: where do I do the typical franchise stuff like ticket prices, parking prices, etc...? I do not see it anywhere on the menu.

Not in this year's game.

In RTTS, is there not any way to tell how far your home run was hit? Am I missing something somewhere?

Does it pop up in the box on the replay?

Ah man, I actually liked that aspect of the game.

With it not really meaning anything other than mass accumulating of $$$....they took it out to, I think, eventually put back in with some real meaning to the Front Office aspect of the game.
Maybe not all of it...maybe some new things....Let's hope!

Re: Operation Sports MLB 13 The Show Community Impressions Thread

I just picked up the show last week with my new ps3 ( my old one died back after Christmas )

I am juts flat out enjoying it, all modes in digging this year which is a change from me as Im only a franchise type guy. There is nothing better on a cool cloudy Sunday morning playing the show with a hot cup of coffee or a hot summer night with a cold beer.

I haven't seen it. I should get some time tomorrow night to play and will continue to look for it.

Re: Operation Sports MLB 13 The Show Community Impressions Thread

I am really not that impressed with 13. Same old glitches, same old game play, still missing key factors in the game to make it "realistic"...

1. I still hear commentary errors. I was playing game 3 of my series vs. Arizona and in the intro Matt V says "welcome to the opening game of a 3 game series"

2. What is up with the trades? I have it set to force trades and so far none of my trades are going through!? It just says that the other team likes the offer as it benefits them... ok then make the trade! ugh.. then after a few games I look in pending transactions and the trade is not there anymore.

3. How many times is there going to be a dropped 3rd strike?? UNREALISTIC!

4. Started my season on "Legend" status with my players all in the mid 90's for ratings, sliders way over to the right increasing their hitting and power and I could barely score or hit the ball.. Had to drop it to the level below, I believe it is Hal of Fame, now I won 4 in a row, but not by much.

5. Walkup music... why bother? Computer plays like 5 seconds of each song and they start the music way too late.. WALK UP MUSIC... should be started immeadiately after the previous player is out.

6. Theme music for every team - Why not have the traditional music for each team already in the game? If I go to Boston, their theme music should already be part of their environment in the stadium. As of now I have to research what each teams music is and load it in myself to make it more of a home field for them. ( I play a season with the Yankees)

7. Why do I have my players heading towards the ball and then sometimes they turn in the opposite direction like I am not controlling them anymore for a second? Makes no sense.

8. Went to check a reply tonight, viewed it and then I could not get back to my game, it would not let me go back.. had to quit the game... lost all my good stats for that game.. disaster


Dont get me wrong, I still love the game but by now you would think they would have this stuff fixed. There should also be an option to update your roster when you are in a season to accomadate the real time roster and any trades or changes. I know they have updates, but if you are already in a season, you would overwrite your existing team and stats if you load an updated version of a roster? I also have myself on the team and would lose him too. Maybe I am wrong there... but thats what i thought. Any help with that, email me to [email protected] thanks
