I'm not entirely sure whether or not your comment is directed at me, but if it is indeed a response to my complaint, I can't help but point out that just because they slap a brand logo on a design previously implemented, that doesn't actually equate to the design itself being altered in any significant manner. From what I have seen so far, it seems the lead designers have become too lazy to enrich their overall work/product.
I have laid out my reasoning behind my initial criticism, if you are unwilling to discuss the matter in a more accommodating manner, I really see no reason to continue this with you. I never implied that SCE is doing a horrible job, I only pointed out that it seems they're becoming lazy. Creating additional prints or visual skins, and then layering them onto three-dimensional forms is very simple. I, in fact, could accomplish such a task with relative ease. --1
One of the primary reasons this franchise is so well loved is because of its realistic approach to what could be just another traditional baseball simulator. The graphics, in-game models, animations, and the overall game's visual design is very important, whether you yourself realize it or not. --2
This is not to say I'm more talented than the designers at SCE (I'm not). But anyone that has any basic understanding of computer grahpics and volume rendering would know that my criticism is certainly not foolish or misplaced. We're not talking about altering the entire game's engine, we're talking about simply altering a number of pixels. If you can't see why this may be a matter of laziness, then I don't know what to tell you. --2
I'm already in love with the game, but there is one problem I saw in this video. It appears as if Mccutchen hit a walk off HR, but if you pause it at 1:50 the crowd may be loud, but why are they all sitting down? I don't like that.
will they finally make position change in road to the show easier because i am really sick of even having the option of it but not being able to do it.
How about a NBA game? You guys are extremely talented. I remember your NFL games light years better than the competition. NBA to challenge 2K and a NFL game when the crap EA license ends. What about NHL? Football/Soccer? I know you guys can do it and your game has the potential to be the best. On another topic, I don't think it's smart to have the PSVita version box look so unimportant.
Tell me, if every other player had the same batting stance/pitching delivery, would you enjoy the game as much as you do? I certainly wouldn't, regardless of how tight the controls are, it wouldn't be realistic in the slightest degree. In-game models and their appearances (equipment included) should be held to the same standards. Real ballplayers don't choose between only 1, 2, or 3 variations of batting gloves, and the same goes for any other personal accessory. --3
no. They are and ALWAYS HAVE BEEN enjoyed mostly of their unique and authentic style of gameplay and immersive franshise mode and all other moded. graphics and presentation is just a bonus. I've been playing MLB since before it was "The Show". claiming that the developers are "lazy" just because they don't add "authentic gear" is just foolish and misplaced. I'd like to see you do better if they are doing such a horrible job at it.
Am I proposing that the design team should include hundreds of different options to choose from in terms of batting gloves? Of course not, but I sure as Hell shouldn't be seeing the same shit that I saw three or four years ago. Regurgitating the same thing, as small as it may be in your eyes, is typically not a good sign. Again, these games are enjoyed because of their immersive qualities (graphics, animations, and presentation), not just because of the gameplay. --4
And are you seriously questioning my reasons behind such a complaint? To clarify, I couldn't care less whether there are brand names in the game or not, that in and of itself is beside the point. You seem to be presenting the notion that as long as the game plays well, "cosmetic value" as you put it, means little. I disagree. But rather than throwing insults at you, I'll simply explain my position on the matter. --1
I wish they would change players hat and jersey in their jersey in their picture if they change teams. Awkward when you barely have any players with the right hat on the team
Christ, I see the developers have yet again failed to put any additional work towards accessories/equipment design. I'm seeing the same variations of batting gloves, cleats, bats, gloves, catching gear, etc. etc. in the game. I'm sick of every player wearing the same generic designs. At this point in the series, we should be well past this.
You see this, then look at Madden and just shake your head. EA hasn't put any effort into their sport titles in years and 2K seems to be doing the same shit. Seriously, Madden looks a decade old compared to this.
i hope they change the commentary a little bit, it has been basically the same since MLB 06 and the world series celebration? Damn its so boring, it has also been the same since 06. I want to see them make it more like watching a real game with highlights at the end and all that, kinda like NBA 2k.

wish they had a baseball classic mode and that your pro could play for your country in the baseball classic instead of spring training in RTTS

Really best baseball franchise since baseball stars on the NES
Excited for more emphasis in postseason mode. I hope to get chills when playing that mode. Can't wait!
Looks great definitely gonna pick this up
MLB 13 the show is going to be a hell of a great game
Can't wait to get this game and play it on March 5th. Best Baseball video game series ever.
Can't wait to get this game on the day it's released!
Now that the PS4 will be coming out this upcoming holiday season, MLB 14 (or 15) The Show is going to look so SICK!
I do wish this was a UK release. Such a fantastic game but can be expensive to import.
Im not much of a baseball fan but I agree with most of u guys MLB 13 the show is better then 2k
both but i think they said something about postseason mode for vita was different because on ps3 its has 6GB of extra sound and visuals
NICE!!! I just pre ordered the game today. CANT WAIT

They did. They fixed that this year.
Look at Matt Kemp at 1:17 He's wearing a Nike undershirt. They should have their cleats and gloves in the game
i suggested the post-season mode on twitter
i cant wait to get this

i think they should add the option to relocate your team in the offseason
I can't wait to see what this game will look like on the PS4.
I think it's safe to say that the RTTS dev blog is coming out next week. And the Diamond Dynasty blog has been out for awhile now.
I wish they add jackets for the umpires when its cold or raining to make it more realistic
Hope they earn alot they deserve it!!
Agreed
hmm i might as well try franchise mode this year. all i do is rtts and season mode
By platform ment by Playin on this platform for 12 years I am 15 and started on ps1 when I was 3.
just....Yes.
excited.
I'm already in love with the game, but there is one problem I saw in this video. It appears as if Mccutchen hit a walk off HR, but if you pause it at 1:50 the crowd may be loud, but why are they all sitting down? I don't like that.
What about RTTS?
I use classic 1/4 for hitting I advise people to use it
Please send this game down under!!! The retail outletd never stock MLB games at all!
Why no talk about RTTS?
can't wait
will there be a demo?
I just this game like 20min ago
yeah it called road to the show
1:45 Ha....its the only baseball game on the market.
did anyone notice andrew mccutchen ear ring
I love the game, but will you guys at Sony please release a patch to put the PITCH TIPOFF back into GUESS PITCH.
and it is awesome!
WOW!
0:14 you can tell miggy has never played a video game
the only thing is can we change teams in franchise modes it sucks to just take one year end year out
than*
I wanna know did they get Prince Fielder and somd othef models right. And obviously pulse pitching & hitting iz back but it doesn't seem acurate to me
Good idea guy below
Are they gona bring back diamond dynasty? I kinda liked that mode I think it was under rated
mlb the show 13 also have a "my player" game mode on it too right??
will they finally make position change in road to the show easier because i am really sick of even having the option of it but not being able to do it.
This is why I hate having an Xbox right now
ok i skipped last years..i have to get this one..imagine a ps4 version!
Mob the show needs cross buy feature so you get it free for the vita
cool vid y no show live
Wow this hole time in mlb I thought ramone russel was an actual player lol
sony makes the game
so real it's unreal. WTF
they would make so much more money if they made this for xbox as well. This will beat out 2k baseball games any day!
Will import.
I want this game but I have the Xbox damn luckily I have a vita yeah
And they said nothing about RTTS or Diamond Dynasty. Thanks..
Got*
How about a NBA game? You guys are extremely talented. I remember your NFL games light years better than the competition. NBA to challenge 2K and a NFL game when the crap EA license ends.

Are all the changes good for the PS3 and Vita or are these just changes and upgrades to the PS3

fuck 2K... Im getting this one
treyday1982 says cant waaaaait!!!!!!!!!

I think ill wait till this game is in the bargin bin. None of the additions I was hoping for were made.
my mom got me 2k13 and i made her trade it for this
Marco Reus LMFAO!
Every other sport game does it, so i don't see why they cant
There will never be a XBOX version of this game because Sony makes it and they also make the PS3 so they won't release it on XBOX
I'm from the future MLB the show is now on Xbox in the 2020's
i feel like my mlb the show 12 is too young to move on to 13...
I wish they would change players hat and jersey in their jersey in their picture if they change teams. Awkward when you barely have any players with the right hat on the team
why not for xbox
They made my change up alot better than it is,-Hilarious!
xbox u mad?
why can't you just leave the dude alone?
This game looks so sexy
El play manda
online leagues...?
Like for the show on Xbox
buy the oldest, cheapest ps3 just for this game, its worth it
how old are you?
prove it.

ughhh us poor xbox peeps...
Not really. SONY San Diego studios are owned by.. wait for it.. you guessed it.. SONY.

He's fucking 20 years old. Give him a break.

Playstation is by far the better system it's just Xbox has some games that are awesome
You see this, then look at Madden and just shake your head. EA hasn't put any effort into their sport titles in years and 2K seems to be doing the same shit. Seriously, Madden looks a decade old compared to this.
u r hilarious
