Have you ever wanted to work on a video game? Would you like the opportunity to get your foot in the door? Do you have an acute eye for details? Do you live and breath MLB The Show? If so continue reading.
How would you like to work on MLB The Show as a baseball specialist for 6 months? You must either live in the SD area or relocate for the six month contract. What am I doing for these six months you ask? Testing the game for the most part there will also be opportunities to give feedback on new features that are implemented in the game as well. However your main duties would be play testing the game and helping to make sure RTTS, Franchise mode, for example works the way its intended to. You would be located in the heart of the MLB development team where you skills and opinions would be used in a host of areas.
Why are we doing this? Well we have our reasons some more obvious than others. Most importantly it's very apparent to us and everyone else that regular/hardcore consumers play games differently than normal QA testers do its that simple really.
Who? You
What? MLB The Show baseball specialists program- You work with the development team as a super tester of sorts.
When? Starts in July/August and runs until November/January (time frame still being discussed.)
Where? San Diego Studios where MLB The Show is developed
How much? Yes this is a paid position
Anyone interested? There will be a normal application and screening process like any other profession in the game industry. We are just gauging interest and possible candidates at this point. Later on we will have a full job description with all the details if we decide to move forward with the program.
Questions? (I'll answer what I can)
P.S. Please do not pm me about this

I work right around the corner from you off of Morehouse at that big telecomm company....
. There are probably a lot more people here who would beat me out anyhow.
and also notice gameplay stuff too such as suction animations at the outfield walls, too fast outfielders, quirkiness here and there etc.
Working...
