MLB The Show 19 First Impressions Thread (IMPRESSIONS ONLY)

I found using the Broadcast cam instead of Dynamic for in-play offense/defense helps a bit, but it’s still noticeable at times, though I haven’t tried playing at MMP yet.

(I’m also on a PS4 Pro in ‘’faster” mode)

So far I'm very impressed with this game. Seems to have more life to it. I love how they added the Wrigley Field organ, and the crowd comes to life during key moments. The Marlins jerseys are absolutely spectacular, and I love the graphics. Not totally sold on the new camera angles, and there have been a couple minor glitches, but I trust that these will be patched out in due time.

19 is a winner!

Can't have Shohei Ohtani in starting lineup in franchise.

Popped the game in a started my first franchise. Right off the bat (no punt intended), I noticed a major bug. Every player rating is 3-5 points lower than their true value.

I dug a little deeper into the issue and realized every player’s morale in franchise mode is angry with their team role. There is no fix or work around. It seems that the game is setting each player’s team role to the lowest possible (Bench or minors for position all players, Bullpen or minors for all pitchers)

Does anyone have a devs attention so that this issue can be fixed?

I just simmed a quick season to see if salary figures were adjusted. It does not appear they have been. Didi signs 2 year 7 mil deal in offseason, Jose Abreu's 6.6 1 year deal.

Arbitration and free agency numbers do not appear to be scaled to account for real contracts. Yankees start with an additional 30 million in space and after offseason should have much more.

Arbitration offers lower than previous years salary.

I can see this impacting trade values etc.. really disappointed. Users could have changed contracts to real figures..this is beyond frustrating.

Edit: on my way to work I also remember Pujols retires in year 1 giving up millions.(a few years ago it was made so players in contract would not retire.)

Trades that happened were mostly rp, arbitration renewable level players. I'm guessing since trade values were not adjusted to reflect higher contracts.

I need to do more tests, but for me this is not playable unless contracts were edited to pre-real contracts.

I didn't mention this last night, but the opening intro to this game is absolutely beautiful and gets you fired up to not only play baseball but to watch as well.

For my zone hitters, any idea what the vibration on the right joy stick is for? I move that stick around as a timing mechanism and it didnt vibrate last year. I remember years ago it being used for swing influence, but to my knowledge that was removed some time ago.

That's really disappointing if true. I think most of us had a bit of fear that they'd not implement it particularly thoroughly, but from what your saying it sounds like they've done even less than I thought they would have. Hopefully it's not the case and they've done more than it initially seems
