"RPG gods love The Show because..."

Okay, as probably the only guy on this entire website that considers Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 6 and 7, and EarthBound four of his top ten favorite games of all time, I am LOVING this short-and-sweet ad campaign.

...What? Not every game I play has to be realistic.
I adore Gurren Lagann too, but that doesn't mean I want giant robots in The Show.

Gurren Lagann is one of my favorite animes! I've got the figures, wall scroll and posters to prove it!

Reed is comin' atcha!

Sorry to bring up NBA 2k again but their MyCareer claims to be a Sports RPG but I don't really see it at all it has a couple elements sure but as an actual RPG I don't think so. This guy made a good argument on here why it's not
RPG Fans - How does MyCareer stack up to other RPGs?

Will Pave your Path really be a sports RPG?

I'm only a few months into my RTTS--but I am itching to play, but feel it's pointless, as I am sure the smart move would be to start fresh w/ the PYP coming with this year's game?

I'm curious as to how it will affect those RTTS carry-overs?

If this is it then this is so underwhelming. I certainly hope there is more to come.

I mean if you're expecting NBA 2K my player type stuff you're being quite optimistic

It's their first time trying this so I'd give them a little bit of slack, it's a step in the right direction and I'm loving the fact that it's finally happening. Something ive always wanted was more off the field stuff to make it feel more connected (if that makes sense). Next year and year after will be improvements I'm sure but this is the stepping stone to something potentially amazing.

Being that this RTTS player is in the minors I'm sure that the locker rooms/clubhouse will look differently in the majors.

Also all the shots are of AA players maybe there is a small difference in the AAA locker rooms or not.

Yeah. gotta love that attention to detail. Checkout those baseboards. Or where baseboards would be.
Also, everytime I've seen a locker since Big Mac, I look for bottles that seem out of place.
I know there wont be any in the Show, yet still I hunt.

If it's anything like NBA2k then that's when I stop playing RTTS.

It needs story like 2k so that you have a fun life outside of baseball but also have options so you decide how your player behaves

Not for me, it needs to be nothing like 2k's horrible myplayer mode that gets super tedious very quickly. Watch cutscene after cutscene of something that makes no sense while I have no real control over the personality of myplayer and regardless of the decisions I make nothing changes when all I really want to do is play the sport of the game I bought.

In 2K I created a 6ft1 white point guard for the career mode. (Forget name of mode)

I couldn't change his voice so he had the voice of a big black dude which was hilarious to watch. Then in the first scene he almost committed assault on his agent changing him around an apartment. I turned it off right after that.

That's what I want to avoid in Rtts. Now I know they won't go that route as frankly they don't have the man power to make that. So I'm glad with the direction they are headed, and glad it's not like 2k.

No. No it doesn't. The "story" parts of both NBA and FIFA are, in my opinion, absolutely ridiculous. I usually only play The Show but this year I picked up both because of RTTS type modes. Stopped playing both because I felt they were stupid and linear. I don't need a story. I will make my own. Just let me play baseball as whatever type of player I want to be.

It's not just about man power.

That's just not the type of game we are going for...not to mention the MLB has a very clear vision for how the game of baseball and its ideals should be portrayed.

Well I for one I'm glad with the direction you guys are taking. So thank you

Thanks God !

I'm really happy to hear that, 2K and EA attempts to create a story mode are really terrible.

Can't wait to see if they improved fantasy draft logic. Hopefully, there will be no more 33 year old closers taken in the 1st round and 18 year old A potential 75 overall taken in the 12th round.
