RTTS/Player Lock Outfield Camera Issue

[mrlux]

Hey guys, like most of you on these forums for MLB The Show, we are all big fans of this series. I really enjoy the level of simulation San Diego studios puts forth every year. One of the best recent additions to the game since 2014 has been the implementation of "player lock" where you can essentially treat any MLB player on any team like you are playing in a RTTS type of game perspective. This feature really draws you in to feel like you are in the mind of that player and the game does a very good job of replicating that feeling. In the current iteration of the game there has been some concept changes with the camera that sours the feeling of immersion due to a camera design choice in my opinion. I made a more detailed video about it here. Does anyone else have similar concerns with this change?

I'm with you 100% on this. I had been great the last couple of years. Don't understand the need to change things that obviously work just fine.

yeah, its mind boggling to me why the feel that this is a better way to field the ball when playing RTTS or player lock over a more authentic gameplay camera for the past 2 years. I hope that this is something they can patch/update.

Excellent video! I hope SDS will do something about this. I only play rtts and this is the worst change they've put in the game. On a positive note, they did improve homeruns. Having the ball travel greater distances to areas in and out of stadiums make hitting homeruns more enjoyable.

Thanks, I'm going to retweet this to their twitter accts again but sadly if more people dont do the same, sometimes these developers wont consider it worth their time to investigate and make changes.

Great video I haven't even noticed this issue yet as I haven't played as an outfielder yet in RttS. In the past that Outfield Camera used to needed to be triggered by clicking the Right Stick in I believe. I think many people complained about how difficult it was in the OF so it looks like they just made the camera be the default view.

If that is the case, they should've at the very least implemented a toggle option to give gamers a choice of which fielding mechanic to use. I would also venture to say that those who complained or had difficulty were probably the vocal minority. In any event, I wish they would add it back or make it to where you can click the R3 to choose which perspective you prefer permanently.
