Well you shouldnt get bashed. Its a valid point and it deserves attention. We will have to wait and see what happens. They certainly have made changes. I heard one dev, Aaron I think, really wants to overhaul the whole franchise part of the game but has not had the opportunity yet. And that is probably a very good thing considering all the changes MLB made in the most recent labor agreement. If an overhaul did take place, then it would probably have to just be done again to fit the new agreement. Fingers crossed.

Hopefully there are a couple of more presets that bring us even closer to the action (pitcher and rest of the field is closer in a smaller field of vision) that I would probably work with. Are you implying that your daughter would play MLB The Show if these customization options were in the game?

Yes, and I would be dang proud. Dang proud I say!!!!!

Let me say thst The Show is far and away the best sports game. It emulates one of the most difficult sports to near perfection.

Complaints about presentation, banners, etc are understandable as consumers want a fresh product but nothing beats the gameplay. Now bring on classic Tiger Stadium and let's get it on.

Also, Free agency seemed unfair in franchise mode, as not all players were ever allowed to be in the market, such as Albert Pujols. In real life the Cardinals didn't offer enough and he was tossed into FA, but in Franchise Mode, I simulated the postseason several times in a row and he never ever showed up as an option to try and buy off. However unrealistic it seemed that Albert Pujols would leave the Cardinals... it still happened. And A-rod retired due to Age... ridiculous lol. Have minor things like these been addressed at all? (i'm not saying do it now! because i know we're past that dev stage)

We haven't released any video of Marlins stadium.

Respond to the features that are being discussed and released. And to say that you're just tired of other people defending the game blindly...a lot of it is people using these threads properly and discussing or stating wheather they like a feature or not that has just been released ..its not letting other "flaws" slip by. but maybe it's because some crazy fan has already beaten it to death in every other info thread that turned in to a rant on whats wrong and/or hijacking it to go on about what features arent included before even half the features are released yet, all under the guise of informing people because it yet again was over looked. Honestly, maybe Russel can say, how many things were over looked or fell through the cracks that wasnt brought up in the bug threads in proper manner and was truly fixed because a "fan" repeated their buying habits and ultimatums and dire concerns for something so simple that surely it could be fixed? I personally dont like the idea of a pitcher to be farther away. Thats part of the intimidation of a 6'7+ pitcher on a mound he is close and towering, if you need more time to react guess better or slow the pitch down..but we have custom camera angles. Also I like the idea of less displays but also like the fewer button presses/menu screens..I do wish for a pitch counter tho, sportsnet on rogers doesnt and Im always wondering what it is..I spend a lot of time looking at pitch counts so i can work starters.

In bold true dat, I can never really wrap my head around it. It's as if someone starts giving out free apple pie and people start complaining about the forks.

Anyway all of the old camera views from last year are still in the game. In addition even though the camera is further away the pitch speeds is consistent. It's an optically illusion that you think you would have more time to react but in reality it's the same for the classic and the new camera view.

I thought I read somewhere that you guys lowered the default pitch speed. I might be wrong though.

I think he just meant that the pitch speed is consistent regardless of view.

As for default pitch speed being lowered, you are right...it was Russell himself who posted that default pitch speed was lowered a bit:

This is funny that someone said this is not a Q & A thread yet that is all anyone on here is doing. I asked a question about stats on page 25 or around there and I was told that this is not for questions. Almost everyone on here is getting theirs answered but I dont get squat. Thanks guys. Remember that this is not a Q & A thread.
