Who ever said baseball was a slow game???

Quick Pitch looks exciting but also needs your attention cause it moves the game along a lot so it seems...
Nice new fielding cams, Id like to see what the new flyball icon looks like and how that has changed...
Wish some faces got an update but I know PS4 got the complete overhaul so can't blame them for pushing the next-gen...
Overall, Im very excited, wish I had a PS4 but one more year of the PS3 version will definitely hold me over...

I asked this way back when, but don't know if we really had an opportunity to get an answer.

How often do you think we will be batting as a pitcher and hoping to sac bunt, only to be faced with a two-strike count in the beginning of an at-bat with quick counts on? Even one strike might stress you out a bit haha.

Same with wanting to deploy some sort of straight steal, hit-and-run, etc. I guess you give and take with this feature. I just wish there were some 0-0 counts here and there.

I think it was said that its slightly based on ratings of players. If that is the case worse hitters, pitchers, may have an even higher chance to get 2-strike counts. Can anyone comment on this part of QC's?

WoW even on PS3 this game just looks better and better every year!

The MLB The Show developers are just amazing at what they do

Im always amazed every year cause you think it cant get any better yet every year they manage to make it better. Funny how MLBTS devs can improved upon a already great game yearly, yet other sports games that could clearly get better dont always manage to do it better each year like MLBTS does. SCEA definitely have the best of the best developers in the gaming industry by far.

Holy S. quick counts really speed up the game! I also immediately noticed better crowd noise.

Ball Physics look even better this year but the ps3 version is starting to look dated next to the ps4 version and quick counts could be a game saver for me as I just cant take all the drama in a 2 to 3 hour game in and out so I just rather deal with situational play in a few pitches then a long drawn out at bats but mostly while pitching .
So thanks for listening and adding this great new option SCEA

Personally I guess Im just not that much into the graphic part of it, considering how real it already looks, and imo looks better than any other sports game on the CG system. I can only imagine how great it will look on the PS4 platform with how well it looks on the PS3.

I hadnt planned on buying it this year since I cant afford a PS4 and enjoy 13 on the PS3, but the quick counts is making it hard for me to pass on this game, along with knowing how great the game will be once again.

Like you I dont like setting thru 2+ hours on 1 game, but Im very OCD and dont like skipping thru cutscenes so I let it play out. With the new QC system I can only imagine how many seasons i will be able to get thru. I know I wont be getting it day 1 for the 1st time since I started buying thi sgame yearly, but once the OSFM rosters are out and pitch edits if needed are fixed by someone, Im sure I will end up getting this game. Probably wont be buying a PS4 for a few years anyway the rate Im going unfortunately.

I didnt mean it how it sounded PS3 is still visually nice but next to the PS4 well you know ... I also think EA NHL looks great too .

Im very OCD also and love key replays and such but with quick counts you can still enjoy presentation and have 30 minute games from what I understand as long as you keep it off fast play

What Im hoping to like about quick counts is more fun then frustration as I use classic pitching so even if its just like a dice roll outcome I,ll have little issue as I always thought the box scores were realistic but the how things happened were lacking .

So I think I can accept a fast and fun two pitch dice roll outcome rather then a 9 pitch frustrating draw out one if that makes sense especially through a long season as it becomes more of a chore than fun but thats just me as the more options to play the better so everyone can enjoy the show in their own way .

Re: MLB 14 The Show Gameplay Video - Quick Counts: St. Louis Cardinals vs. Boston Red

What a great option to have, I know it I won't be using it very much as I mostly play RTTS but having said that the game looks much more crisp and fluid to me I don't how to explain that but kudo's to the SD team

[sroz39]

I already traded in my PS3 for the PS4 around launch but that video...incredible. I get why some people are saying it looks tired or dated...I just completely disagree :P I can't believe how much better it looks just from one year to the next on an 8 year old system. Great job guys.

I have a question and a bit of a weird one I guess. As I understand, I can play a Franchise or RTTS on the PS3 and then play that same Franchise or RTTS on the PS4. My question is, I go to great lengths to make my face in RTTS look as close to me as possible. When I pickup my RTTS on the PS4 version in May, how well will my face transfer over? Or am I going to have to start over again? I might have an opportunity to borrow a PS3 for a month and would love to pick this up and play it until the PS4 version drops.

I don't remember seeing this last year but when Peter Bourjos threw to second off the single..it was a smooth animation and no robot moving!

yep exactly what I thought too!

Anyone else notice during victorino's and ortiz's at-bats that the batter walk up music sounds improved and has that slight echo? Sounds more realistic and similar to how it sounds on a tv broadcast or in stadium over the speakers. Nice touch.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Gameplay Video - Quick Counts: St. Louis Cardinals vs. Boston Red

Speaking of Quick Counts, will there be a way to toggle the QC On for batting, but leave it Off for pitching?

I suppose it would a nice way to speed up the batting portion of the game, but I like to really work at setting the hitters up, and use the entire arsenal to make important pitches, so I am not sure I like the idea of being staked to a 3-1 count against a big hitter.

Plus, I might go right after a soft hitting second baseman who hits in front of a power guy, and not waste three pitches in doing so.

Any word on the availability for on/off for defense v offense, or is it an all or nothing selection?

Thanks,

It is either on or off, no splitting.

The sound of the bat on ball actually is a little bit different. Then again, it might just be like that because I'm always hearing it through my surround sound.
