MLB 15 The Show: An Era of Transparency

[SVCbearcat10]

I do think SCEA does it right with this game. I'm beginning to grow tired of the growing cries that this franchise has turned into Madden. The main difference is that this game has nearly perfectly the gameplay of baseball. Madden still had fundamental flaws, especially in the WR/DB area. It would be great to have something be eye-poppingly different to refresh the series, however, it's hard to improve on near perfection.

I think sports is the genre where user feedback is the most valuable, honestly I can't see a community day or livestream being all that useful for a platformer or any kind of story-driven game for example. Its great that the dev team actively listens to its community, when you see something that you personally suggested make it into the game its a great feeling.

SCEA SD always seems ahead of the curve when it comes to sharing info about their game, maybe the next step is an early alpha/beta?

Well....I've always said it....and have taken flak for it...

Any flak given is for the rose colored glasses, and not just picking on you here, because lots of people at this forum wear them as if this game can do no wrong.

It's a good game, just don't really understand it when people get offended when obvious flaws are pointed out.

The San Diego Studios dev team has, without a doubt, become the shining example and standard for all existing and upcoming developer teams, at least IMO. Back in 2007, when I bought my first (of many to come) The Show game, I thought "nice, a new baseball game to play".

Now in 2015, after buying every single MLB The Show game since, I can say it's more than just a baseball game. Its a game by the players pretty much. I never thought I'd be able to enter a thread for last names and put my last name in it only to see it in the game. That, among other things, shows why this dev team is light years ahead of anyone else when it comes to the community. Dedication and a shared passion for the game of baseball with their consumers.

It's how you build credibility and their devotion to their players (especially us die hards) is why The Show is an annual purchase for me.

Well then some people need to take of the blinders......because they only see what they want to see.....I call B.S. on the guys getting offended.......guys are perpetuating a myth with that one.

So here it was, late February of 2012, and I'm dying to pick up MLB 2K12 for my 360. I was a little upset that they weren't showing us much, but The Show was getting some exposure. Not that I really cared, I didn't have any Sony systems at the time. And then I saw this video clip of The Show:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dIjsunHb54

Whoa. Was I ever impressed! So impressed that I went out and bought a PS3, a Vita, and The Show for both systems. Got two systems. For one game. And it was the best investment I ever made. Not only that, but since I was now hooked on The Show, it was the main reason why I got a PS4 over an Xbox One. I never did pick up 2K12.

The moral of the story? At least in my case, revealing the game early made me RUN out to buy it. If you have a good product, you're going to want as many people to see it as possible. I'm sure there are a ton of people out there right now who are just waiting for that good reason to get this gen's system. Will The Show be that reason? Will it be the deciding factor in selling a PS4 over an Xbox one?

It was for me.

Same here, only my first game was 13. Totally blew away 2k in every category. I thought 2k series was good until The Show. My only regret was not getting a PS3 sooner. PS4 was my next console and haven't regretted it for a second.

I would really appreciate them "transparently" showing working online play. It has been 10 years, after all.

Well if Ramone and the other Show devs really listen to the fans/consumers of the Show,they say they are so passionate about Baseball and the Show. Please tell me why after all these years and how they stress how much they listen to the fans,then why haven't they still not give you the option still to play with the roofs closed on retractable roof stadiums then. Just something simple like that. It has been highly requested by the fans!

They listen to their fans, but they aren't magicians. Any project has its limitations in resources, whether that be time, money, labor, materials, etc. If you're building a house, you can't snap your fingers and make a mansion. You have to consider costs of labor, costs of materials, the type of market you're selling the house to, and ultimately your profit.

SCEA is no different. I only know Russell from what he posts and from the video clips, and from that, I can conclude that if he could he would snap his fingers and have every little detail (Including my 3:05 games) perfect down to a T. But he faces limitations just like everyone else does.
