MLB 13 The Show Fact Sheet

Re: MLB 13 The Show Fact Sheet

Foul tip outs were active in November so unless there was a tragedy with it in the game it still should be there.

The button accuracy is along the lines of analog where you now control your velocity and accuracy on the throw with a button press. If I recall correctly your initial press determined velocity and how long you held the button activated a line toward the different sections of the meter (red yellow green) which determined your accuracy. I am interested in how the finished product turned out, as it was a work in progress when we were there.

But will the players attributes have any affect on this? It seems silly that a player could potential never have an errant throw with Starlin Castro just because they time the throw right every time.

I did remember reading somewhere that there will be a sweet spot in the throwing meter that will unlock more animations like "spectacular animations". Was that just for RTTS or was I imagining it.

Absolutely attributes will play a role just like they do in analog. It will be represented visually in the meter itself. It is not a generic meter for every player.

I'm not sure what these guys are complaining about, but I bought next gen Madden for five years. I've seen a roster update, and this isn't it.

Two copies day one like always, one for me and one for my little brother. This is a no brainier every year.

Well, playing 12' now just doesn't feel right, haha. But that is a awesome fact sheet, can't wait to hear more details on certain things. I am mainly a Franchise guy, so that is really nice to see all the improvements. Should be a great game. I wonder how much gamestop will take for 12' now aposed to March, haha.

I don't see how asking for a way to play a season in less than 200 hours without simming is asking for too much. And by the way, I'm a dev, I know all too well how much work goes into this stuff.

You do realize that generated pitch counts IS a form of simming, correct?

Re: MLB 13 The Show Fact Sheet

There's apparently a vocal portion of the fanbase here that don't want to actually PLAY the game, and instead want a ton of simulation features so they don't have to touch it.

Not to lump the manage mode guys with the pitch count ones, but to me it boils down to the same thing.

My suggestion is to check out Baseball Mogul or Out of the Park if you really want that kind of experience.

"40. New online ticker design, more stats and information"

I'm just praying that this means A LOT MORE STATS, and please please please be available at will with the push of a button instead of just a few screen popups in the middle of a game at random times.

It really is not a matter of not wanting or being able to do it. Its all about time resources and priority. It's on a list, its just sitting lower in the batting order. I have had an idea that I have been pitching for 4 years now, hopefully it finally makes its way in next year! They are aware the interest in generated pitch counts though!

Re: MLB 13 The Show Fact Sheet

What would simulated pitching do isn't it just like skipping innings?

Well I showed this to my girlfriend and said starting March you won't be seeing too much of me; nobody will.

No, instead of starting the AB 0-0, it could be 2-0, 2-1, 3-2 etc. Just a way to accelerate the game by not having to see every pitch.

I can now cross a few things off the list to bother Aaron and Luis about....I don't think it'll be hard to find a few more things to ask for now...

Re: MLB 13 The Show Fact Sheet

A few unanswered responses here.....

The fact sheet mentioned that player portraits will change when the rosters are updated. Does this mean we finally will have players wearing the correct hats of the team they are on once the weekly updates arrive? I sure hope so, that would be fantastic news!

If a player is on his real team, his photo will be an actual team photo (unless he is a CAP) If that player gets traded to a diff team, his photo becomes an Avatar photo.

Does anyone know when the cutoff date is for the finalized stock rosters?

Last year they got the Prince Fielder trade in on time. So use that as your reference.

I'm a dev, I know all too well how much work goes into this stuff.

iPhone games dont count!

but does this mean the real prospects are in the game?

I still dont think they have the license to do this.

Re: MLB 13 The Show Fact Sheet

I like that they have added new minor league stadiums. Does anyone know what that brings the total up to?

I loved MLB 2K8 that had real MiLB stadiums. Is that a hope for the future...possibly the PS4 version?

Also - totally unrelated - future console games should come on solid-state media...like jump drives, etc. that can hold more data than a CD/DVD/Blu-Ray disc.

I would assume that someday, games will either be all cloud based or DDLs.
Hard Discs will be obsolete. They almost already are!
