Re: MLB 14 The Show - Carry Over Saves to Future Versions, Generated Pitch Counts & M

Are we going to see rain in games? If so, rain delays, postpones, etc?

I doubt you could answer, but worth a shot.

Do you mean rain period or as the game is playing it starts to rain? There is rain in 13 but no rain delays and I wouldn't get your hopes up. They had them in All-Star Baseball but, while a cool feature, they wouldn't last for anymore than like 5-10 seconds or so and realistically, would you want to sit through a 30 min rain delay on a video game?? I highly doubt they are going to put their resources into a rain delay but I've seen some other users ask this question so I will try to remember to ask Russell at CES. Look out for my Q&A thread about a week or 2 before CES starts.

It's about the effect on strategy. If I'm playing and there's a 42 minute rain delay, I'm obviously not going to want to sit through 42 minutes of scenes, but I am going to enjoy having to shift my lineup and bring out a new pitcher to deal with the fact that my pitcher has been sitting there for 42 minutes

Russell if youre still perusing this thread, Id like to ask about DD and if the PS3 & PS4 will be on separate DD servers or will PS3DD be able to play PS4DD?

I understand if your playing time is limited but a good part of the challenge of this game is to work counts. Generated counts does away with all that.

I don't remember them announcing an exact date of release.

I think that was just Amazon's placeholder release date that some guys saw.

I keep seeing "generated pitch counts"... What exactly does that mean?

It means when you come up to the plate, you already have a count on you.

So instead of it being 0-0 it could be 0-2 or 3-1..... etc

I guess I mean realistic rain, not the way it is portrayed in 13'. I want to see various rain, such as light, sprinkle, heavy, etc..

As far as delays, I meant games get postponed (Double headers?), etc.

I just think it would add to realism on cutscenes if it is raining hard and before the start of the game, you see the grounds crew unrolling the field before gametime, or covering the field during a delay, etc.

Not asking for 30 minute wait, that is pure silly. Simply some cutscenes hinting a delay because the rain is so hard, I want to see the rain too look realistic in the way it comes down like you would in real life.

Just something that would add to the realism even more. I can understand those who would not like it. Just something that happens in real life a lot that should be included IMO.

Off the top of my head....
(And putting away the baseball purist in me)

1.to save time....games will be much faster without having to sim or fast forward
2.It's a change......something different
3.If you are not the greatest or most patient hitter......this could be a great way to improve your average and lessen the k total

It could also be more challenging.

Now you cant work the count. You may go up and have an 0-2 count and cant follow any strategy but swing away and protect the plate.

There's a lot of pro's and con's about that.

I can't deny the fact that it would be more challenging. Knowing you come to the plate with a 1-2 count and 2 outs make things different then when it's 0-0.

On the other side, I'm a patient hitter and like to see what the pitcher can give me. Want to see the break on his pitches, location, etc. You stil can use that even if you're 2-0 but when your 1-2 or 0-2, that's another story.

I would say the beauty and fun of this option will be directly link with the variety and randomness of the generated counts. I'm not against it, but wouldn't mind if you can stil turn it off if you don't like it.
