About swing animations - Operation Sports Forums

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know OS now has an official Discord that you can join right now. We’ve kicked around Discords for individual games in the past, but it felt like the right time to make it more of an official thing.

Steve and I have wanted to get this going for a bit because we obviously still hear from y’all who are unhappy with some stuff on the forums, plus when there are forum outages we still want to have a place for everyone to hang. My overarching goal for the longer term is to have both Discord and the forums ultimately work together. There are some logistical issues with the vBulletin forums that don’t allow things to sync right with Discord so there will be a little maneuvering as we try to get mods and forum members any proper roles/tags they need on the Discord, but we can work through that stuff easily enough as people join.

Our general goal is to give people more options to interact with OS community members, whether that’s Discord, the forums, this newsletter, or improved apps. If people want to stick more to the forums, that’s cool. If people want to stick more to the Discord, that’s also cool. In my perfect world, we do a lot of BSing and day-to-day chatting on the Discord about games and sports, and then more of the “in-depth” discussions or hefty things like long slider breakdowns or analysis of gameplay end up on the forums so that can act as a sort of “best of” area for anything OS community related. That said, you all will ultimately shape how the ecosystem shakes out, I just want to give you spaces you like so you can have a good time with other folks in the community.

The same general rules will apply on the Discord as they do on the forums, and we’ve brought most of the forum categories to the Discord as well so there should not be too much confusion as you navigate around.

With the Operation Sports and Discord announcement now out there, it’s also worth mentioning our OS premium newsletter, which quietly launched a couple of weeks ago. Built off the Not Just Another Roster Update newsletter, it offers a mix of retrospectives, guides, interviews and deeper dives into the sports gaming world—covering both current and classic titles.

Re: About swing animations

Geez, look at any screenshot or video. The animations are horrible for batter/pitcher, the faces are about as detailed as last year and don't meet MVP standards, the body models look poor in many screenshots (Sega can't seem to get bodies right in any game). Yea, the ballparks and environment look crisp, but not the players. Now, had they spent the time they pissed away on novelty first person mode on mocaps and graphics improvements, things would be different I'm sure. BIG strategic error.

MVP doesn't have any standards! This is the first year the made even a decent product, the game is filled with bugs. MVP is a year behnd ESPN in gameplay and bugs. MVP needs to come out next year with basically the same engine and just concentrate on fixing the bugs , and it would be good if they changed their ******** hitting system (push UP for flyball wtf ? ) , and then MVP would have a very good game !

Fix the bugs, new hitting system, minor upgrades ?? hmmm.. that sounds like what ESPN did THIS YEAR. The animations from behind the batter hitting weree quality last year in wsb2k3. Are you telling me they got worse ? Yea right believe what you want.

Do you see what I mean with some of these people? They hate the game because someone's face isn't perfect, does that sound reasonable?

You bet buckwheat, these aren't text sims, visuals MATTER. If they didn't, High Heat woulda made millions instead of driving the producers out of business.
