Re: Operation Sports MLB 13 The Show Community Impressions Thread

First post in this thread this year, and I can't believe what I saw.

In a cut scene after a triple, the 3B for the CPU went over to talk with the pitcher and then came back to the bag.

Then he held the ball out and tried to get my baserunner using the hidden ball trick!!!!!!!!!!!

That's effing amazing--a real testament to how hardcore these developers are about the intricacies of baseball. It's a real treat to play this game. I'd gladly pay double for it.

That was in last year as well, not a new thing.

I find the game to be much more enjoyable and rewarding using the Analog hitting interface.

Well, I didn't play last year's game, and per the thread title, I was simply giving my impression, which is that it's a cool thing.

DJ, I'm surprised you like the analog thing. I want to use the excuse that I'm too old to get the hang of that stuff, but I guess I can't use that one now.

I honestly can't get the feel of the hitting, although I think it's nice because of the clean interface.

The pitching interface is a bit of an eyesore in my opinion. I wish they'd come up with something fresh for that. In order to keep the screen clean, I've settled on classic pitching and timing hitting.

Well if I stuck with Timing, the game would've been traded for NBA 2K14. That, coming from me, says a lot about how frustrated I had grown with Timing. Analog really isn't difficult to use and it solves a lot of the issues I was having with Timing, most notably, early timing on swings. Being in control of the stride and swing allows me to fall into the sweet spot of the new timing window.

As for pitching, you can shrink the meter so it isn't as visible. I like the clean screen look, too, but at this point will sacrifice a few visual aspects for a refreshing and fun gameplay experience.

This really isn't for suggestions though. It's for peoples impressions of the current game. You could argue that you're stating an impression by saying what you'd like changed, but that's not really the point of this thread.

Re: Operation Sports MLB 13 The Show Community Impressions Thread

Just had CRAZY game. Same sliders as I use all the time but this time, I won 17-5!

20 hits, 4 walks(3 of them were hit by pitches,but umpire NEVER warned either team) and 5 home runs! Lawrie with 2HR and 5RBI, Bautista with 2HR and 6RBI(including a grand slam).

I had an 8 run 2nd inning!

Probably the best offensive game I've had in any baseball game I've ever played(on a hard difficulty with no cheap slider adjustments)

Re: Operation Sports MLB 13 The Show Community Impressions Thread

One thing I've noticed after two years with the new hitting engine is that there is still a complete lack of balls that drop in between the infielders and outfielders on pop up type hits. I don't know if it's because the fielders are positioned to close, the fields aren't big enough, the fielders are too fast, or the balls just don't drop right, but I rarely see it. It is something you see quite often in real life. Or balls that are close to dropping in. I feel like every ball in between the outfield and infield is easily caught or it is just a soft line drive. Does anyone else feel the same?

I hit a Grand Slam with Bautista last night. He's got 4 HR's in the first 4 games of the season and Toronto leads MLB with 13 HR's.

I think I've finally solved the timing window riddle, too. Seeing more consistent contact and not striking out as much as I was before on either the PS3 or Vita versions.

I've played MLB08-10, but hadn't played the last 2 year's versions. The biggest changes I've noticed, which are great, is better hit variety and much better error variety. It used to be that errors were rare and usually only happened on throws to 1st. Not anymore, I've even seen 5-8 errors in the outfield through 70 games.

I gave true analog a go yesterday. It does put an organic element to hitting, the problem I have is being able to lay off pitches I would normally layoff with timing, but I do realize with practice that I could overcome that. I was trying to check my swing; can't figure that out, need more practice.

Making slight adjustments to the way you normally play does freshen the game up. At this point, I need a lot of freshening.
