Operation Sports MLB 13 The Show Community Impressions Thread

Struck out on a ball in the dirt. Sadly, that's nothing new for me.

What was new however is that the catcher (Weiters) threw the ball over the 1st basemans head! I've never seen that before.

Btw, digital download. No stuttering

Playing online, they removed the messaging application and force you to use the PSN message, when doing so, my screen locks up for a few seconds while sending the message. Not sure why this has changed. I like the old style messaging.

I've moved all 3 sliders relating to cpu pitcher 3 clicks left.

I'm seeing more balls now early in the count. Dominant pitchers and control pitchers are unaffected but guys who should be less precise are now less precise.

Yes, I was able to draw walks before but I was getting really irritated with the inevitable first pitch strike.

I played a couple exhibition games online with a buddy and we had major stutter problems. I would say about 65% of pitches thrown, right after the ball is released from the pitchers hand would lock up for a second then come in. At no other point in the game would it stutter, just after pitch release .Made it almost unplayable.

My impressions after a game and a half:

- I love the opening intro so much more than last year's. And now I don't have to look at freakin Adrian Gonzalez in a Red Sox uniform anymore!

- Obviously the graphics are top notch

- I played on All-Star (last year I played on HoF) and noticed too many strikes thrown by the CPU pitcher

- In a game and a half, I notice the CPU pitcher stutter on two pitches. Thing is, I had the same issue in MLB 12 The Show and it drove me crazy then too. Always makes me swing way ahead of the pitch.

- In one game, I crushed two homers with Napoli, but overall the stats were pretty accurate (8 hits, 11 strikeouts, 3 runs)

- What the H is up with Big Papi's batting stance?? They've been trying to get this right since 2006 and have never come close. Oh well. I'll have to find a better one. I do like what they did with Saltalamacchia's stance though. And I like that they added his beard, although now his face looks wider than it should be for some reason. Pedroia's stance is questionable...

- The CAP I made for Middlebrooks in MLB 12 The Show was so much better looking than what they have now. I'm just a little disappointed at how little it looks like him.

- I was OVERJOYED when I saw both my first and last name in the game (last name spelled wrong, but pronounced right). My wife just stared at me in awe as I couldn't stop smiling about it. Thank you SCEA!!!

I'm not sure how many people play sports games online or not but this game has got to have the worst net code in exsistence.

Of all the sports games to play online this should be an easy smooth experience. So why is it, this game is almost unplayable online.

I have a boosted cable connection and have no problems with any other title online but when this game is played online it feels like everyone is on a dial up connection.

Offline this game has got to be the best sim sports title there is but for people who dont like to play the cpu for hours on end and enjoy head to head matchups with other gamers .... this game is not even close to where it needs to be.

I know I might be in the minority here but why isnt there more complaints about the online issues with this game?

This game is awesome. Nough said.

Haven't delved into a lot yet, but everything has been great that I have tried. In the past, I would get bored with it quicker. This year, not getting that feeling at all. Postseason, RTTS, Franchise, Diamond Dynasty, The Show Live (once the season starts), Home Run Derby, and the list goes on!

I am actually really enjoying Challenge of the Week. Had fun with it last year too, but I have spent a lot of my time on that so far. That mode is addictive! I am actually number 6 on the leaderbord too!

Countdown to opening day is now, can't wait for the OS rosters so I can start a franchise and really delve into RTTS! THANKS SCEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now it is Cutch baby! OH YEAH! Haha, but they have all 7 of the candidates represented well in the loading menus and opening. And isn't that opening awesome! Holy crap, as if I wasn't pupped enough to play the game, and then I saw that.
