nem, i kinda had a feeling this was the case. super big company or not, i dont think the first year they'd have a dedicated team for Vita.

maybe next year a few new hires get added on to help with the development.

As far as Kolbe, I dont know. Russie said they are in bug squashing mode now, so isn't kolbe's work done as far as adding features to franchise?

Or am I wrong and did his leaving affect the plans for this year?
In any event, the vita did pull resources away from the main game, understandable too. its a big sony title for a brand new sony handheld.
you gotta show it some love.

While this is true, He had a valid point. I dont care too much about franchise as 162 is a bit much not too mention some random things like transportation etc... but this is a reasonable gripe for people, seems like every year people want some Franchise upgrades and they always get told "next year"
Not trying to discredit SCEA, but it has happened frequently the past few years...

Game looks great. Score bug looks like most broadcasts. I would not be a fan of having the little square thing in a corner of the screen like some networks.

All this information on the screen is very helpful so I do appreciate it being there!!

The only thing I am looking for this year is some new stat overlays perhaps SCEA has added like a in game box score? Like each at bat instead of in text what a batter has done throughout the game they have like a baseball diamond for each at bat and a 1B, 2B, K. I know many networks have gone to such things. That might be to complicated or something I dunno but it would be cool to see.

The only two gripes I have is the ball 4 in the dirt bug where it gives the catcher an error for ball 4 in the dirt. Has this been fixed for this year? And my other is when playing national league games I noticed that the RF would always be playing shallow almost every batter has that been fixed??

are already in the game since 11, what happens in the case of the Rockies is very dark purple that appears black, and does not distinguish very well.

I am also curious as to what "franchise upgrades" people are talking about?

Another question I have is will the crowd placement in the stands be changed this year?? Like for games that have small crowds will they be more bunched together so you get the feeling that the stadium is really quite empty? I always thought it looked kinda odd seeing people scattered all over some stadiums when there was only like 15K at a game.

Totally untrue! Neither the Mets, nor Colorado ever had metallic colored helmets in MLB The Show and that didn't change with last year's game. Compare it with images from "Madden" and then you will see the difference!

so all the " clutter on screen stays? myself like it to be off...

Sorry, but there really isn't much changed from last year. Since the team's already in debugging mode development of the game is done. Whoever suggested that SCEA is blurring the line between playing a game and watching a game on television, is smoking something. This game looks nothing like television. Just telling it like it is
