MLB The Show 19 Video - Road to October

[IHateDuke32]

Before reading/seeing any details, I just wanted to say thanks to the first handful of posters with the memes and gifs, I was cracking up. I'm with most/all of you on this one, this doesn't seem like a mode I'll ever click on even once.

At this point, I just pray the gameplay in '19 is super smooth. I've enjoyed (still playing '18 up to the release of '19, like I do every year with the previous year's release) '18 as far as gameplay. I can load my franchise, and with quick counts get an entire series in pretty quickly. However, it seems to me that even WITH quick counts, my daily gaming sessions of getting in a few series each day has turned into just a game or two. I love baseball, and I love the Show...but as a franchise-only guy, I can't lie this game is getting pretty stale.

I already have '19 pre-ordered. I know I'll play it throughout the Summer months and enjoy it. But, I definitely agree that this game is getting pretty stale for us franchise guys. The Show '20 will be the first one I don't pre-order in quite some time. If Franchise isn't overhauled for '20, I'll probably just stick with '19 and updated rosters. Isn't OSFM fading away into the distance after '19 anyways?

then telemetry will report we're skipping cutscenes and first thing we know we'll have less of those in MLB'20 and more DD features instead.

Definitely Heidi Watney.

When I watch this and the "asteroids" type explosions I can't help think a hybrid of DD and retro mode. Unfortunately, it appears this is the future of MLB THE SHOW. I miss "the little things" stream...

Almost verbatim for me.

This last year is the first year I didn't make it thru the entire year. I get it, I get it, SDS is to make money, I get it. Grasp at straws to put something "new" on the cover is what it appears like to me. Moments and this one? I won't even give it a try. If the move is to drag in "new" customers to the game of baseball, not quite sure how these new modes do it, unless they're happy to just have the game bought for modes that are casual play (and shelving when it's not in use).

Yet another year of Matt, groan. Maybe he signed that ten year deal like Bryce. Now there would be something to slap a NEW on the cover, Matt gone.

Haha, For every cutscene that gets skipped, DD gets a new feature.

Side note: oh man would I be psyched if a mode like this showed up in WWE2k lol. Here, not so much. And this mode I think Franchise players should be way more annoyed at than DD stuff. Because the guys who worked on this mode are probably the guys who would have worked on Franchise.

So were given two new modes, Moments and March to October which basically involve playing mostly only in critical situations. However, for me I prefer playing full games rather than bits and pieces.

Yeah, I'm with you there, never cared for critical situations. I just don't get the drama if I didn't get into that situation. Bases loaded, down by 3, 2 outs in the 9th is only exciting to me if I've built up that situation, I've worked the bases full, I've gotten myself into a huge situation. If you just plonk me down and say "this is a big moment we've stuck you in", it does nothing for me, there is no build up of excitement and suspense
