MLB 14 The Show Patch 1.11 Available Now - Details Included

[bcruise]

Got a little better look at the QC endgame in my 2nd game. Samardzija threw 125 pitches before being pulled with runners on in a 3 run game in the 8th. I don't know what his stamina was seeing as it's a CPU game, but it seemed like kind of a late hook. Still 125 is reasonable IMO, although I wouldn't want it to go much higher than that.

I believe that if you have auto base running that the players will not steal on their own, you control lead offs and steals yourself. That is how it was last year and I believe is what they reverted to.

I did a little test with jacking the CPU offense sliders and throwing meatballs to check the HR Cam and even on non-monster shots I am still seeing the HR Celebration camera more than I'd want. Ramone said it was scaled back to 25% I believe but it still seems to be 3 of every 4. I know that for no doubters it will still show it, I am not sure what the threshold is between a no doubter and a normal HR maybe all of the HRs I saw hit were the prior. It will take some more playing to tell if it's any different.

The more I play the more pickoffs bother me. I compare it to the real life game and I just don't see what happens in the game happening on TV. Speed guys in real life are able to take a big lead without the risk of being picked off. It is like a cat and mouse game that doesnt exist in The Show. In The Show if you take even a small 1 step extra lead you get nailed. I have to use Eric Young Jr the same as I use Daniel Murphy on the bases in terms of leads, it's just weird. I feel the Steal ability and/or speed ratings should have more of an impact on whether the base runner gets picked off with a lead. It appears as if it is irrelevant.

just got another 'CELEBRATION' CAM. It seems the fix didn't go through. 3-3 on my end.

bit busy but i am going to use my nephew as a guinea pig to test this a lot more and check back.

Thanks for the info.

Honestly though I would much rather be able to turn it off completely then even just seeing it 25% of the time. In my opinion I just do not think the Home Run Camera is a good idea for a true "SIM Style" baseball game. Sure for an 'Arcade" baseball game the Home Run Camera would be fine but not for us "SIM" players.

Most likely it's too late to bring back the option to completely turn off the Home Run Camera for 14. But I really hope it will be back for 15

Did I miss something? 360?

I agree, we need an option to turn that damn thing off! Also to get rid of the blue circles and some of the other things they are not giving us choices for.

MLB The Show games have always been known to give users options to turn on and off a lot of features. And this is why I am so surprised that Sony would remove the turn off Home Run Camera option from 14.

It's kind of shocking actually
