Armor & Swords MLB The Show 20 Classic/Directional Clean Screen Simulation Sliders

Re: Armor & Swords MLB The Show 20 Classic/Directional Clean Screen Simulation Slider

Figured I'd chime in since this thread has always been great, and give you guys my experience so far with PS5.

I will tell those who are just waiting to be able to grab one, you will be very happy with it. Having it almost 3 months now, it has exceeded my expectations. Playing PS4 games, including the Show 20, and the enhancements some of them receive is like playing a game brand new.

20 is phenomenal on PS5, it just plays so smooth, even at highest resolution. It's like playing the game the way it should have been on PS4 Pro. It makes me excited for what they can do for 21.

For those like Armor that are holding off(Regardless of finding one), I'd say there is literally 0 downside from moving on to PS5. At least for the Digital PS5 I have, this thing makes NO noise at all. I'm honestly impressed by it.

The UI and controller do take some getting used to though. But the haptic feedback in the controller on some games is just an awesome feature added.

For those hoping to get a PS5, good luck, you will be happy, I'm sure of it. Brightside is, if somehow 21 sucks, 20 is well worth it to keep playing on PS5.

One thing about the PS5 that you have to be careful of, and I think it is kind of an issue for Armor because he goes back and plays the older games sometimes - Backwards compatibility can be spotty on some of the more dated PS4 titles. MLB '16 does not run at all on mine, for example - it hard-locks my PS5 while trying to load into a game. The system does tell you when there may be compatibility issues with a game, but you could still find yourself without a way to play some of your older games if you get rid of the 4.

One thing's for sure about '20, though - it's going to stay on my external harddrive (PS4 storage) for a long time, no matter when I get '21. The game has some serious replay value with the fictional setup + teams actually taking care of their roster following a fantasy draft. For the latter I'm referring to how teams would always only carry 1 or 2 bench players (depending on whether the DH was in effect or not) - that was finally fixed this year. Those two options provide some nearly limitless franchise starts if you're open-minded enough to give it a shot. To be fair I don't know if those two things work together but even just fantasy draft by itself will be enough shakeup that you won't recognize the league.

And....oh yeah, it plays a pretty good game of baseball on the field, too.

Holy crap!! I forgot how great of a feature Quick Counts is!!

I knocked out a 3 game series in my 1993 Yankees/Marlins Franchise in just under 2:15 minutes.

Yeah....gonna be using QC for this one.

I finished 162 games with the Dodgers playing every pitch. Left it at the end of the offseason so I can continue it in 2021.

But I started a new franchise with the Braves and I decided to use Quick Counts. It is nice to knock out games faster. And these sliders and gameplay is perfect. It is the first time that I can remember that I am on the bottom for walks allowed. I am averaging 4 per game. I once walked 12 guys in a game once.

Lmao yeah man it is damn good. I feel like I introduced you back to a old habit again. Lol.

Now that I’m 60 games into this Angles franchise I’m playing using QC it’s going to be hard to go back to playing every pitch.

Yeah that is the one of the cool things about QC. I actually lead the lead in walks on the offensive side and I’m 5th in strikeouts and I’m 20th in walks aloud which never happens.

I may be going to QC permanently. I want to play so many different rosters and this allows me to do so.

I am playing the 1993 Franchise right now...also have that fantasy draft 80’s Strat-O-Matic Royals season. Then I want to play a Bacons Fictional, and then do another fantasy draft season with the new 90’s Longball and Legends V2 roster.

So much goodness still to play.

I hope the news about 21 is really good because 20 is amazing. We shall see (I say the same **** every year lol).

I have always played QC. It just makes getting thru multiple games so much easier. I know some hate that there aren't certain counts, 3-0, etc, but I live with that.

I actually like the challenge of QC trying to decide on 2-2 counts whether to take a pitch or not. Makes me read the pitch more.

It is just a different way of playing. I have noticed a lot of 1-1 counts which is good.

I think they tweaked it well after it’s initial release in 14.

I love this game; so the more I can play the better.

I will still play my Yankees Year 5 carryover every pitch every inning. That is my one franchise that will always be the full monty. But all the other ones I have can be QC’s.

Really glad I went back to playing with it....big shout out to Vince!!! It really will allow me to enjoy all the fantastic rosters I have accumulated.

Re: Armor & Swords MLB The Show 20 Classic/Directional Clean Screen Simulation Slider

The only reason why I hate QC is because it never produces a 0-0 count. Sometimes, the ball is put in play on the first pitch. The problem with never having a 0-0 count be produced is that it unnaturally skews long term results in the batter's favour.

I think it's a great idea, and I have no qualms with people using it and enjoying it, but I could never use it myself or recommend it to others until this flaw is fixed.

It certainly is not perfect. Hence on my main franchise.....we go every pitch every inning.

But if folks are not worried about a slight skew in favor of offense and are truly short of time....QC is the way to go.

I am going to use it for all these amazing rosters. Just too much good stuff to not play for lack of time. This definitely helps and allows me to enjoy the roster communities tireless work.

Yeah I guess I do have the benefit of being married to a single franchise. No way I could do every pitch of multiple franchises.

I also Quick Manage all of my minors, and occasionally jump in on an AB for scouting purposes.

If I were trying to run multiple franchises like that... quit my job, quit playing other games, sequester myself as a hermit, and I might have enough time.

Re: Armor & Swords MLB The Show 20 Classic/Directional Clean Screen Simulation Slider

I currently have my outfield and infield throwing errors at 6. I found that I wasn't committing enough errors and I was at the 3rd best fielding % in the league after about 30 games with the Yankees (they finished around top 3 at the bottom last year I believe).

I saw the cpu throw away a ball by missing a cutoff very early on. Didn't result in a error, but it still worried me a bit. Neither side committed an error with this setting. Any concerns with this?

Well I’m 60 games into the Angels franchise I’m playing and I’m 25th in the league in errors. So I’m seeing plenty of errors unfortunately. Lol

I have zero concerns.

I have probably logged over 400 hours of playing The Show 20 (have not checked recently).

I see a good balance of errors. Everything in baseball is sample size. If you are playing every game you will see them. And if your team has some defensive liabilities, they will be seen over the course of a full 162 game season.
