Still pretty good with it down at 1600x960 or whatever it is now.

Don’t ever resort to turning down max resolution of your monitor. That’s where such clearness comes from. Lower shadow settings and crowd density to start. And turn vsync OFF. That is the cause of your sudden drops.

Started a franchise and played six games last night. Great gameplay as you would expect, the new refinements are really good. It’s very good at what it does, an accessible, fun game of baseball.

FPS held smooth for me at 60fps with all settings maxed at 1440p using an i7 7700k @ 4.8ghz and a GTX1070.

I’ve never been a franchise player when i play The Show, i prefer to use real rosters. However with this game I’m having a blast customizing my team to my liking, booting underperforming players ($8.7m power hitting third baseman goes hitless in the first six games? Buh bye) and tweaking away.

no, you can't


the bat on ball sound really bad ?
It's on purpose: bad sound on the bat = bad contact
good sound on the bat = great contact

I find the bat ball sound to not be as good as smb2, it has a bit of an echo sound to me, I turned effects down and that helps some. Broken bats are a nice touch.

Game plays as good as ever. I noticed they added the 3 batter rule for relief pitchers. I brought in a reliever who took a liner off the dome 1st pitch. I couldn't replace him until he faced 3 hitters.

Keep the impressions coming. Typically a game like this wouldn't be on my radar as I stick with licensed games like The Show, Madden, 2k.

The reviews of this game seem good though and I enjoyed the demo. It actually played a decent game of baseball it seemed in an arcade way. It was fun. Plus might be fun not having to worry about realistic stats and matching real life.

Just not sure how much the franchise mode would suck me in or if the online play might suck me in. Interested to hear about replayability and online aspects which I can't get from demo.

I've played 3 games so far. It's challenging, I left a pitcher in too long and had an inning snowball on me to the tune of 10 runs. The next game the opposite happened. I like the hit variety better than the Show. It's probably the best playing baseball game currently out, although not the most sim. I have noticed pitchers stay in too long and it seems based on stamina instead of effectiveness. I'm sure that will get patched. If you're a hardcore SMB player, it's well worth the price. If you're just casual and/or money is a bit of an issue, wait to see if it goes on sale.

for Franchise, you start out with a budget. I started 2 or 3 to see if the budgets are random and I believe they are. It has the usual sign players/release players and you can upgrade players. that is rather expensive though. There are a good variety of players and ages available in free agency usually 1 or 2 guys that are huge difference makers (and expensive) but unless you have a lot of bank there's not much incentive to go after the mid tier free agents.
