Re: MLB 13 The Show Video - Oakland A's vs. Los Angeles Angels (Game 1 ALDS)

Thank you for the Athletics upload.

I have only seen the first 10 minutes. Would like to have seen the following:

1. Dugout celebration + Homerun replay split screen - What I would liked to have seen after the Seth Smith's homerun was a dugout celebration (i.e. hi fives with teammates) after Smith trotted back into the dugout, along with a split screen replay of the homerun.

Dugout celebration

2. Hometown fans throwing the HR ball back into the field of play - this would be a cool addition (it must be dynamic; don't need to see it all the time) instead of having the camera continue to focus in on Seth Smith trotting around the bases.

3. Split screens - can't think of any examples right now, but I usually see split screens during televised playoff baseball. Examples: pitcher vs. batter, pitcher vs. baserunner on 1st.

I like your suggestions, especially number 1, the dugout celebration.

I noticed a lot of little things that made the game flow much better. I noticed a lot of new animations wether it be fielding, the batter preloading his swing. I noticed a couple of nice foul balls of the bat that were not in MLB 12. It looks like this is the best baseball package we have received since the beginning of video game baseball

i still cant believe how bad cespedes looks in this game. SCEA should be ashamed at how bad he looks

I don't understand the ragging about this. He'll be recreated perfectly anyway. Pettitte looked bad last year too, but someone made him perfectly, so what's the problem ?

1) Because he's been in the big leagues for a year already. We all understand that prospects making their MLB debuts can only be CAPs in the current season game. But in next year's game, the player and his actual, scanned face should be, and usually is, there. This didn't happened here.

2) Pettitte obviously has been out of the game for a while since he hasn't pitched in a couple seasons so SCEA had to remake him as a CAP. He didn't have his face and picture in last year's game like Cespedes didn't, but he'll have his face and picture in this year's game like Cespedes should but doesn't. So your analogy is inaccurate.

3) Even if you can re-edit his face, a CAP face is still nowhere close to the lifelike realism of a scanned face. I love OSFM but everyone can see that CAPs in that set look different from the actual scanned-face MLB players in the game, despite the excellent efforts of the OSFM people.

4) It's simply disrespectful. I get that the Oakland A's are a small market team that very few people care about. But they are a damn successful franchise, they are the defending AL West champs, and Cespedes is a damn fine player. People raise hell when a batting stance is off by a couple inches or uniform shade isn't to their liking. Now imagine if Robinson Cano had Ryan Howard's face or Jose Bautista was a CAP. Would people not be upset about that? If Cespedes was a New York Yankee, I'm reasonably confident that SCEA would make damn sure his actual face and picture were in the game.

I'm not going to resort to hysterical hyperbole like "OMG this is game breaking!!!" or threaten to boycott the game. But I reserve the right to express my displeasure at a clear mistake that I feel is disrespectful to my team.

I was fully with you up until this point...

I agree that the CAP could better represent him. However, it has nothing to do with respect, or disrespect, or what team he plays for. I can guarantee that no one at SCEA said at any point "it's only Oakland it'll be fine" or anything along those lines.

Knowing the circumstances in which Cespedes entered the league, I would assume he is not as accessible a player as others. The other players you mentioned have done media and/or been cover athletes for the game, so it would be a head scratcher if they were not as accurately portrayed.

This might be true... he probably was busy dealing with the issues surrounding his family safety (in DR perhaps) and couldn't bother with doing CAPs and stuff.

... or he simply is very bad at being his image taken, and just really looks like a terribly done CAP uploaded by a random PSN user... ....... just like Miggy Cabrera is never able to recreate his own stroke when he does his own swing captured............ hahahaha......

I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill, but that's just my opinion. Disrespectful ? To who ? Do you think he feels disrespected by it ?

Hope the game has billy Hamilton finally.....but love the game looks great yes the cespedes thing does suck but it's still his ratings and stuff it'll be fine

BHam hasn't played in the majors, so he won't be in the actual rosters.

He'll be created with OFSM rosters though.

Must it be explained again that SCEA must go by the MLB style guide when it comes to uniforms ?

And you're making it worse.

This is important to some people. Is it really that important to you to knock people down every chance you get?

It's not that big a deal that they are asking for an accurate face for someone who was in the league last year.

A big deal to you and me? No, but it isn't unfair for them to expect it.
