MLB 14 The Show Video and Developer Blog - Quick Counts and Player Lock

[Jibbler]

I know quick counts are good for lots of people but they don't interest me, it just takes out the whole point of realism and what baseball it. the idea of being a hitter is to be patient and be able to pick your pitches, I just think jumping in with a 3 and 2 count wouldn't be the same to be and take away the actual point of baseball it's to arcadse like. I will never use it, but I can understand why some might.

I will use it from time to time but I generally like to experience the whole at bat too. I will say though that the mode is done very well. The biggest thing I cam away with from playing it is I felt satisfied that I played a full game of baseball. It did not have a no frills feel to it like it was stripped down to the bones.

Maybe a dev or someone who knows can comment on this but with the ability to play diamond dynasty games offline, will the player lock feature be playable in this mode? Thanks a lot!

In the dev blog, you saw both the RTTS/Player Lock camera and the new Dynamic batting camera. They are similar, but definitely different. The Dynamic camera is designed to work in non-RTTS modes like Exhibition, Franchise, etc. You will all of course be seeing more of these as more footage is released.

As a batting stance nut...I am very pleased with what I've seen so far.

Utley Stance and swing look really good now.

The AL Rookie of the year got his love too!

Pedroia's batting stance looks great too!

Oh and they finally updated Miguel Cabrera PS2 stance....I fricking love it!


Hopefully there's still time to get Robinson Cano's beard and hopefully his batting stance has been updated.

They really need to get rid of that ugly one hand follow through on hits by right handed batters (the one that goes over the players shoulder like a Jose Bautista homer).

Hopefully they have better swing animations on ps4

Also, the updated batting stances are looking really good, looks like Cabrera might have gotten some sort of toe tap, similar to what he does in real life. Looking good.
