MLB 13 The Show Video Interview with Ramone Russell (GamerHubVideo)

[js3512]

Anyone else catch the Russell saying they have a new agreement this year that gives them full access to pitchFX data? That could be big in terms of giving pitchers their accurate pitch repitoire. Just hope someone knows how to interpret the data lol

I just talked to Nomo and he said they are affiliated with MLB.com this year so they will be using the f/x data, but the method of input will still be plug and chug so all of the quirks that the current f/x system still has will be present in the Show as well... This is still a massive upgrade over the previous system though, big step in the right direction.

I still plan on doing pitch edits for OSFM, maybe this will expedite the process by a fair amount (last year it took ~1 month)...

It is a huge step in the right direction. Maybe we'll see an end to the 3 pitch minimum once they see that there's a number of relievers who rely on only 2 pitches. That always drove me nuts when I would edit my pitchers and have to conjure up some phantom pitch for their third pitch. I'm wondering if they'll know how to interpret the data enough to differentiate a slider from a slurve for example. Or how to tell a curveball from a 12-6 or a sweeping curve. Guess we'll see come March.

Did anyone notice Russell Martin had a cyber face? Why? I know he's now for the Pirates but no real picture?

They probably ran out of time to change his hat.

I wouldn't be surprised to see custom rosters and people making everyone having digital pictures.

its probably an old build. im sure when the game ships he will have his real face and a pirate hat on.

You think they were zoomed in on Russell's face close enough?
When he said "Nothing gets you closer" he wasn't kidding. I could practically see his earwax.

From what we've heard from the CD guys I think that every player will have a normal picture (if its already in the game) id they are EVER on their original team. So if a player is traded, then traded back to that original team they'll get they're real photo back. I was hoping there would be a way to get all cyberfaces, maybe there is, but from what was posted it seemed like real photos will always be there if they are on the original teams.
