Anybody else playing the game way more than usual?

[Cezar24]

In past years I've picked up The Show at release and played games here and there while watching more real baseball on mlb.tv.

This year seems to be the perfect storm thanks to the late release date. I got my real baseball fix and have been playing The Show with every free moment. The dynamic difficulty is really helping since the game takes care of where I should be playing with realistic results. The hitting seems to have changed to end up just how I like it and the graphical bump doesn't hurt.

All this adds up to me already finishing 57 full games so far, which is really high for me. Do I just have a Show addiction or are you guys finding the same?

Re: Anybody else playing the game way more than usual?

I'm new to the MLB series. The game is fantastic. I find myself playing it WAY too much. Although I am a baseball fan, I never played or cared much about baseball video games. I originally bought it just because the graphics looked great and I wanted to experience it.

I thought for sure I would play a few games and get bored and sell it. Boy was I wrong. I am totally addicted to RTTS. The incentive system is great, driving me to play well so I can earn training points and improve my player, then starting the next game, rinse and repeat over and over.

Between the addictive incentive system and game play, and the incredible graphics and job the developers did capturing all the nuances of baseball this game has been almost impossible to put down.

I keep wondering to myself if EA can pull of this level of quality with NHL 15. That would be awesome!

I've actually been playing the game less than normal. It's out of choice since I refuse to start a Franchise without the Hybrid rosters, and that's where I log the majority of my game time.

I have however played quite a few exhibition games and been having a great time with them. I can definitely see myself playing more as soon as I start my franchise.

I definitely am. Same with NBA 2k14. Seems like next Gen sports game are really luring me in

This is what I've been doing. I wanted to give the dynamic difficulty a large sample size so it's locked in right where it should be when I start my franchise. The exhibition games have been great with a lot of variety. If it continues into the franchise I'll be a happy man.

I've definitely not played as much as I'd like, but busy with kids, wife, career, etc. However, when I do play I typically have a game on my iPad via the MLBTV app. I've also not played too many games with just the same team, eventually I will start a franchise, but for now I'm playing with a lot if different teams to experience their respective ballparks.

That's pretty much the same boat I'm in. I don't have a ton of spare time due to family commitments but I do love checking out all of the ballparks. They're amazing.

Also, I picked up an At Bat sub for the first time this season, which is eating up a lot of my TV time.

At Bat + The Show = baseball magic.

I seem to be playing the game exactly as much as I think I should. My wife however, thinks I am playing WAY too much!

RTTS is funny because it moves the games along very fast but that doesn't shorten the time I play Instead of playing one full 9 inning game at a time I play 9 RTTS games!

Absolutely.

I played 6 games yesterday. The last time I played that many games in one day was on MVP Baseball.

I loved MLB The Show ever since I started playing it, but the addition of Quick Count has really helped keep my interest.

This ^. Alternating games using QC and sometimes I play without QC, depending on how I feel. Loving game this year. Hitting feels so organic and classic pitching is perfect for me. I got multiple franchises going, each with different game play tweaks (1 w auto field, 1 w zone hitting, etc). The best part is no matter how I play, I am having fun and getting realistic results.

I'm actually playing a lot less than normal. Not just the show, but all games. I play my 360 more than my PS4, and by a big margin.
Just haven't really enjoyed next gen that much so far.

This is my 2nd year with an At Bat sub, prior to that I had Extra Innings...at Bat is so much more flexible, plus replays, condensed games, highlights, etc are awesome. Coupled with an iPad and it's so worth the money.

For me to play the show more than usual I'd have to quit working, eating, sleeping and bathing. So what I guess I need from Sony when they roll out the PS5 is a water-proof console.

Re: Anybody else playing the game way more than usual?

Yeah..the visuals are so much clearer and more crisp and true 1080p no upscaled BS. Of course other things about the graphics but just feels really good this year for some reason which makes me coming back for more and i've had some of the best games of any baseball videogame i've played thus far...some very competitive games vs CPU.

Quick counts is helping me burn through games this cycle. If the release wasn't so far pushed back I would be over halfway through a seqson
