I have a hard time comparing console video games to PC sports text sims. It's apples and oranges IMO. When it comes to console video games is it hard to not agree that The Show 13 quote frankly has the best franchise mode to date this gen? The only other game I even mention in the same breath is NBA 2K11

Couldn't agree more. I have both of those text sim games and like them both, but nothing, I mean NOTHING comes close to the pure white knuckle joy I get from "The Show"

The stats have improved this year despite the terrible K/9 bug. They fixed the RISP bug. On the PS-4, I expect stats to be much more extensive and almost perfectly accurate (as they almost are now).

Love the game, love the developers and their obvious devotion to the fans here but I'm just bummed about the presentation design choice. For the record, love the new fielding cams and the catch button etc. etc. Love the tails/parabola on the fly balls. The play by play thing takes some getting used to and I skip it most times but I definitely like it when I get on base to see how the inning shakes out or in close games. It was an addition that was needed. The only thing I do not like is the presentation and I desperately miss the play by play. I understand the idea and having this "on the field" audio mode would have been a very cool addition but I agree that it should have been an option of some kind vs a default. Also i agree that the sporadic commentary is just... weird. I'm guessing that the integration of the new stuff made making two kinds of presentation as options a programming difficulty. I get it. But man, I feel like I have no clue what's going on or what I've done so far in the game or season. Miss the overlays. Also missing is maybe my favorite single part of RTTS: the replay of my monstrous home runs when I come up to bat again later. "We take you back to the third inning when he went deep!" Anyway, not going to cry too much about it because the game is awesome and the developers absolutely care about their product but if there is any possible way to somehow add the option back, this particular player would be much, much appreciative. Finally, can someone who knows for sure please explain the modulated audio? Is it supposed to simulate a radio? For the record, it would have been awesome if the games in Double-A had no announcers and the games in Triple-A were only "on the radio" but when you finally make The Show you get the full presentation. Kind of like the old NCAA games where games between small schools were not televised and hence had no announcers. Anyway, this is my favorite sports franchise and I'm half a fanboi at this point but just keeping it real. I hope you consider this input going forward. Play ball, my brothas.

Strings....well stated.
I know that the dev team relies on posts like this to gain insight into what people are thinking about the game. Changes....things that have been in for years....whatever.

Did I just read that we have a 60 and 70 year old posting in these parts? How freaking AWESOME is that. Kudos to you gentlemen.

God willing I'll be alive, and able to see, and move my hands, and form coherent enough thoughts to be posting when I reach that age. Unless of course technology advances to the point where our brains waves are locked into wifi signals, eliminating the need for computers altogether. Then of course we'd technically be some kind of a human/robot hybrid. Ah, where the hell am I going with this?

How do I move a video that i saved in the PS3 to here?

I had a man on 1st and 2nd with no outs. Hit into a dp. Miggy (who was on 2nd) didn't run to 3rd. Instead, he went back to 2nd.

After the dp, he was still on 2nd.

That's a glitch right?

It depends....

If they didn't tag him.....and they threw to second and then to first...he could run back to second and be safe.
Why he would?...or they wouldn't throw to third to get the force there.....I have no friggin' idea....but he could.

Knight, if that's the rule, then that explains it. Thanks brotha.

Don't know how I didn't know that but it's been way too many years since I played.

I thought with runners on first and second, the man on 2nd HAD to run.

He was off the bag with his normal lead. When I hit the ball I didn't control him in any way. He simply went back to second.

The DP happened right on top of him and there he remained.

Does anyone know how to get the saved video from the PS3 to this Site?

Yeah, it certainly sounds like an AI baserunning logic error to me. I guess the only way it "could" happen is if it was a short hop, line drive that Cabrera thought might be caught and started going back to up 2nd and couldn't make it to 3rd by the time it all played out. Of course, why the fielders wouldn't tag him would then make it a fielding AI logic problem, so seems like a bug to me. But would have to see the play to say for sure.
