Re: Armor & Sword & Marino’s MLB The Show 18 Classic/Directional Simulation Sliders

Im sold already Armor!!!!! 19 pre ordered! The new defense MIND BLOWING!!! Cant wait to see the hitting stream at 6.

Not crazy about the ball ribbon, but thats it. Hopefully auto fielding, thats off.

FWIW, the ball ribbon visibility was brought up in Mills' stream and one of the SDS devs was there. Let me accentuate this one point, the question was could it be turned off....not if it would be off in auto fielding mode. But the dev said that currently it is not an option to be turned off....BUT....BUT....that "it's not final till it's final". It would not shock me in the least if a toggle to turn it off is present at release. But they are 100% aware of this request....which is a huge win for us 'clean screen' guys.

I am pretty sure with auto fielding it will not be on.

However I truly hope a toggle is added to turn it off period so those that do play with manual fielding have that option.

But I am highly highly confident with our style of play here (auto fielding and manual throwing) ball ribbons will be off. Think about it. Auto fielding is the same as CPU fielding. And in examples they showed today with CPU fielding there was no ball ribbons.

Is a 117-win season with the Phillies realistic?
Is their too much human ability that determines success or is it more ratings based?
Can I choose ANY team and have a 117-win season and win the World Series?

Nothing in the real game stops a team from having the chance to win 117 games.


Or disappoint and win only 80 instead of 100.


One season is a small sample. It also depends on the competition around you, your player's development - if they got hot and stayed hot (they will play "over their heads" until knocked out of it), etc.

I mean, your division was meh. The rest of the NL was very much average. You're not all over the leaderboards so maybe you won some close games, tight games, etc.

If your players are producing in decent ranges for their abilities (there will ALWAYS be variance), then the final result is just sequencing - which, for all intents and purposes, is random, especially in a video game that's based, literally, on RNG.

I agree. Seeing as it's a user interface aid, there's no need to have it when the CPU is doing the fielding.

Hope you guys get the option - personally I really like the idea especially for things like Fenway wall balls (which is why I could never play as Boston for a franchise in this game )

Re: Armor & Sword & Marino’s MLB The Show 18 Classic/Directional Simulation Sliders

got say after watching the stream this morning with defensive and batting people may complain theres no new features. i know im new baseball fan frm uk and yes franchise mode has not changed for a long time . at least its deep compared to others . say no names . The think that stands out for me is how they are really trying to get the ball to react to realstic to each diffent surface and how the defensive is playing all i can say wow and wow .And here we are they mention they will play more like there attributes when they play . something armoursword does with his sliders . if im wrong please tell me but mlb19 with armoursword sliders combined will be a match made in heaven.

I think the defensive upgrades are great. I like the difference between the good and bad fielders. Just as long as the AI doesn’t put some random fielder at SS themselves in Franchise. I have seen a couple times that happens. Or they use the back up catcher to pinch hit and then later in the game they pinch run for the catcher. And then they are forced to use a non catcher.

Re: Armor & Sword & Marino’s MLB The Show 18 Classic/Directional Simulation Sliders

Just finished Game 2 of the NLDS between the Phillies and Nationals. I can't post the box score because I exited the postgame screen by mistake before going to the game log.

The Phillies defeated the Nationals 7-3 thanks to strong 6th and 7th innings. The offense continued to be cold against Gio Gonzalez early on this one. Jake Arrieta allowed 2 home runs to Ryan Zimmerman and Bryce Harper to give the Nationals a 2-0 lead. However, the Phillies offense finally began to heat up in the 6th inning thanks to a first pitch pinch hit home run by Jose Bautista. Carlos Santana hit a 2-run home run in the inning followed by Rhys Hoskins back-to-back. The Phillies scored 3 more run in the 7th inning and hung on to win 7-3 and tie the NLDS 1-1. The Phillies have an off day followed by Games 3 and 4 in Washington.

Cole Hamels will face Max Scherzer in Game 3.

Re: Armor & Sword & Marino’s MLB The Show 18 Classic/Directional Simulation Sliders

The Phillies have taken Game 3 of the NLDS against the Nationals by a score of 8-6. Max Scherzer was not sharp in this one lasting only 3 innings and allowing 7 runs. Cole Hamels was cruising before hitting a bump in the 5th inning. The Nationals fought hard to make this game close getting to the Phillies bullpen in the late innings. Rhys Hoskins added an insurance run in the 9th with his second home run of the game! Hector Neris recorded the save but not without some trouble.

Game 4 will see Zach Eflin face off against Nationals right-hander Joe Ross.

If a Game 5 is required, the Phillies will return home with Aaron Nola on the mound taking on Stephen Strasburg.

In other Postseason news, the Cleveland Indians have swept the Toronto Blue Jays to advance to the ALCS. They will face the winner of the New York Yankees/Houston Astros series which the Astros currently lead 2 games to 1. In the NLDS, the Dodgers and Cubs will play a decisive Game 5 as both teams are tied at 2 games each.

Re: Armor &amp; Sword &amp; Marino’s MLB The Show 18 Classic/Directional Simulation Sliders

The Phillies have advanced to the NLCS after defeating the Nationals in Game 4 by a score of 5-2! The Phillies will face the Cubs in the NLCS who defeated the Dodgers 3 games to 2 in the NLDS. The Yankees defeated the Astros in the ALDS 3 games to 2 to advance to the NLCS against the Indians.

This was one of the most frustrating series I have ever played. I never felt comfortable at any point even when I had leads. This one was no different. Carlos Santana started off the scoring with a solo home run in the 4th inning. The Nationals remained quiet until the 6th inning when Charlie Blackmon and Bryce Harper hit back-to-back doubles to score their first run and tie the game. Then in the 7th with the bases loaded, Adam Eaton dropped down a suicide squeeze that scored a run to give the Nationals the lead. I thought all hope was lost after that until the top of the 8th when Scott Kingery crushed a 2-run home run into the left field seats to take a 3-2 lead! Dylan Cozens and Wilson Ramos added some insurance runs in the top of the 9th to make it a 5-2 game. Hector Neris closed out the save and the NLDS with a perfect 9th inning.

Re: Armor &amp; Sword &amp; Marino’s MLB The Show 18 Classic/Directional Simulation Sliders

I’m actively eying these sliders I play the show behind a year or two on purpose so I don’t have to deal with patches. Do any of you who play or have played 18 and 17 feel that the CPU pitchers bare down hard core when there are runners on base in 18 the way they do in 17. I am not a fan of 17 and the coding of how well pitchers get whatever they need with runners on base just curious if this goes on in 18????? Any info is appreciated

Re: Armor &amp; Sword &amp; Marino’s MLB The Show 18 Classic/Directional Simulation Sliders

So I heard this from the announcers. I have not heard them say this before. Which is really cool being this late. I was playing in Cincinnati and they had a break in the action between plays and I first thought it was the beach ball delay. But the announcer says we have a delay on the field it appears some nitwit climbed over the fence and is running on the field. We are not going to show this as security is taking handling it. He is now being escorted off the field and put in the cooler.

I just thought that was so cool to hear. I loved the “nitwit”. Just had to share that.

I'll tell you this....the only coding that screws me in these situations is in my own DNA. If I am calm and don't force the action - I make my share of big hits (and sometimes it's a little flare to oppo field). If I lock-up and try too hard, I fail far more often.

The player clutch ratings are a small factor, but more often than not, it's my (in)ability to execute that decides what happens. But sometimes, the pitcher just makes his pitch...and that's baseball.

I’m ok with that thanks for the reply I think that to a certain degree pitchers should be more difficult with guys on base or in scoring position I just think it’s a bit over done in 17. I am thinking that from what I read 18 is the best show that has been made to date I’m looking for a made game and with these sliders it looks solid!! No thank you to a new game with updates and patches every month imo opinion the days for offline people are in the past so I don’t mind updated rosters and using an older model!!

Re: Armor &amp; Sword &amp; Marino’s MLB The Show 18 Classic/Directional Simulation Sliders

The Phillies have dropped Game 1 of the NLCS against the Cubs. Aaron Nola and Jon Lester engaged in a pitcher's duel for 5 innings before Aaron Nola hung a changeup to Kris Bryant for a 2-run home run in the 6th. That was all the scoring that Jon Lester needed as he shut down the Phillies all game. Pedro Strop earned his 2nd save of the Postseason in the 9th.

Game 2 will see Jake Arrieta facing his former team and teammate Kyle Hendricks.
