Operation Sports MLB 13 The Show Community Impressions Thread

There is at least one moment in every game that gives you that feeling when playing The Show, I think you made a good decision!

I k'd 14 with Chapman in the first game of my reds franchise.

Never has a game felt so good, and I lost....

I'm sure this is old news to many, but in messing around with CAPs I realized that they made pitch speed relative this year. At first I thought something was wrong as the max FB speed was 93. Then I realized it varied based on offspeed stuff. It's actually a really useful addition (for long term franchise play, in particular) because previously many of the generated players would end up with ridiculous differences in pitch speeds.

For righties, he's shaded a tep or 2 to the left of center. For lefties, a step or 2 to the right. I saw slab's pic but I cant duplicate it. I have pics that I took as screenshots on the PS3. Someone direct me and I'll post here. Anyway, its not a gamebreaker. Just annoying.

Are your defense settings set to "AUTO".

I do have it set to manual. Is it possible this affects the cpu as well?

I was wondering if its just the Orioles? Maybe they don't believe in alignment changing?

But, I still would expect them to at least change depth based on power, no?

Could a mod move this discussion to a new separate thread so it doesn't clutter the impressions thread?

Yes... except you can still create a pitcher with 100 mph heater and 70 mph change-up... that hasn't changed.

I've noticed quite a few CPU pitchers have 79 mph changeups. I never knew so many pitchers threw 79 mph changeups, even with fastballs in mid nineties.

Where are the Cleveland Indians helmets with the red "C", that they've been using during the past two years on the road?

And why are the white/black home batting helmets of the Baltimore Orioles still not in the game? They got the same design as their caps.

Apart from that, the game rocks as always!
