Unfortunately, changing this would increase the patch by more than we would like to make consumers endure. We will address for MLB 14.

Some of those stadiums have had issues for years, so why are they acting like it was only first noticed in MLB13...


And don't get how it'll make the patch too big. Isn't typical patch only like 200mb....and that's with huge gameplay changes made, I'd think that changing minor things in a stadium wouldn't be that much.....

But I guess this also means that we will only have a single patch for the entire year, cause if not, then they should have been able to fit enough stuff into multiple patches instead of just only including a handful of things in a single patch

It is likely that after changing a minor detail in a stadium, you may need to download the whole stadium model again... that's probably what the dev is alluding to. I don't wish to see a patch being > a few GBs just fixing cosmetic details.

..... in fact, many patches work that way, you are essentially downloading the whole pre-compiled binary file for the game, not just a portion of it... in that sense "patch" is a misnomer.

Downloading game data is a different issue, but if a fix is needed in one file, it most likely takes downloading the whole data file again.

You didn't by chance catch the Dominican Republic versus USA WBC game last night did you?

I can tell you this, if I had paid $120 for a ticket, and had to be near the DR cheering section with the *Censored* air horns the ENTIRE GAME.... I would have gone insane.

I could barely watch it on the MLB Network, so while I hear the whistles on The Show, it is less bothersome than what I had to be subjected to last night.

BTW, you can go into the audio selection screen, and turn down crowd noise, ambient noise, announcer, vendors etc... and kind of get the game set to the way you like it. The defualt settings has them all maxed.

The only thing I would like changed is an option to have it called Senior Mode Last year I was trying lots of things, including lowering pitch speed to 0 and 1, but this year, I have it at default 5 and I'm doing okay! This is the first year I've only bought one baseball game. Keep those meatball pitches coming! Ah, spring training has been fun, but I expect things to get tougher once the regular season starts. The other extremely significant change this year is downloading the full game. I used to have optical drive problems using the disc, got so bad I had to give up on the game, so this year I am very happy!

70 huh? That's great. I thought I was the oldest kid on the block guess not. I will be 61 next month.

As if Verlander wasn't already tough to hit... the 12-6 curve that he was given doesn't sync up with his arm action so its impossible to pick it up

Yup, 70, and 71 in August. So I'm 10 years older than you. I wonder if we are the oldest? Anyway, there certainly is hope for you to be playing this game at 70. Even with cataracts in both eyes, I can still square up on a 98 mph fastball! Not always, but enough to make the pitcher realize 70 isn't over-the-hill just yet

Impressions...

This game has finally been polished to near perfection. I don't know what it is yet I do.

The game just feels organic while playing.

Meaning it plays a random game everytime you play it. I don't think any higher compliment can be made about a game when it's called organic. That word can only describe the feeling of playing something that is as close to real-life as you can get.

I had a VERY strong affinity for MLB 2k7 and have ever since as a game I always thought Id never see surpassed as far as scope, but after my time with MLB 13 The Show I can no longer hold that title as high as i would to this game this year in what i believe to be the FINAL year of the MLB series on Playstation.

Let me explain and this is without actually knowing specifics but it appears that MLB has now reached the pinnacle of what can happen for the game...as is..on the same engine etc...

Sad to say as GREAT and as FUN and even as POLISHED this year game is, it feels as if the development cycle for this game has reached it's end.

Theres thing I've wanted others wanted since MLB 10 that are still not in and rather than complain and/or say what those things are I am more in a reflective moment and just chalk it up to it being merely impossible for the team to put those things in as they've listened to us from day one and have done enough to make the game what it is to this final point and it's a brilliant game through and through.

I will say this though...


PS4? Real Life sponsors triggered by online advertising for your adboards and bulletins...JUST sayinkinda salty about that...Everything else is glowing
