Good for you guys who like RTTS and retro...

Nothing of substance for a franchise guy like myself.

We have three more months of information coming. I am sure that they have added elements to every mode. But hey be negative if you want. Thats why I'm happier than you all are.

Out side of lighting the game dose not look much different then it did on ps3. If you compare player faces the shows faces are way behind NHL and NBA 2k. Those 2 games at times look photo realistic where this game does not. So with game play being almost perfect if graphics are not going to be improved then what is there really left to do to make this game any better?

I would have to disagree. I play all three of those games. I'll give you NBA 2K (although I don't think they are really much of any better) but not NHL (which I'm playing ALLOT right now and love).

Plus, when it comes to CAP, the options The Show has really blows the others away.

Again as I said earlier. Maybe I'm just too old to notice what y'all see. But I would rather more time be spent in adding features to Franchise mode than player models and grass texture. But that is just my opinion.

I would have liked to see some Franchise stuff too. But I think it would be hard to put some of those things in a trailer like this. They seem to be building up the Griffey features in this.

Hopefully we will get a list soon on what is coming.

I don't get the point of comparing to other sports games. Basketball has teams of 12 players and inside controlled arenas. They have to design way more players for an mlb game then any other cent maybe madden who has a much larger Dev team.

I don't think it looks like a ps3 game it could be updated and I really want to see a lot more game play improvements as that's where my focus is when playing the show every year is playing as many games as possible. Can't wait to hear more about this year's version which wasn't all given out in a 1 minute trailer Dec

Retro mode can be amazing.

This is their chance to steal me away from purchasing Super Mega Baseball and RBI next season instead of The Show.

Make it better than those two games. Offer franchise mode. Offer customization. Offer fun sim and arcade options. And you'll have a buyer.

If it's just an arcade home run a thon then I'll pass.

Maybe we'll get some of those super high res dugout shots in 4k.



In all seriousness, with The show being one of the better sports games out there, I was expecting to be totally blown away by a trailer. With what Madden has done with presentation, and 2K with graphics alone...had me very excited to see what The Show could achieve.

I know its a one minute trailer...but, I think most have the wait and see mentality, I can see why many don't also. If most would be honest with themselves, it wouldn't be hard to figure out if those first one minute trailers and releases are far off. It's the "Wait and see crowd" vs the "The one month complainers" vs "The defends the game to no end crowd".

Happens every trailer release.

This trailer obviously generate some hype but also a lot of confusion to me.

I really don't understand why they prioritize what I would qualify "mature game features" (haircuts, celebrations, retro mode!!!, etc) while the game is in its PS4-gen infancy...

All the new features we saw in this trailer would be perfect if we we're still rocking last gen, but we're not. PS4 has been out for ages, PS pro is a thing and PC gaming is close to another golden age.

IMO, all ressources (and extra) should be put into getting this game out of PS3 era and close to PS pro capacity. Only when it's done, at the end of PS4/pro gen, should any ressource be devoted to goofy animations and alternate modes.

MLBTS stopped being a mature game the day PS4 came out. Am I alone to think that way? Shouldn't it dictate what is prioritized?

Don't get me wrong, SDS is my favourite studio and they're a fabulous team. I'm just worried about the lack of innovation.. Remember what happened to 2K sports 7-8 years ago, RIM (BlackBerry), etc...
