Operation Sports MLB 13 The Show Community Impressions Thread

I just saw for the first time that one of my players couldn't play because he had a "family issue." That was pretty cool; it made me wonder what he's going through. I think I'll give him another day or two since family always comes first .

Sure wish the rtts set up for advancement goals was refined a bit, I didn't get called up because my fielding pct was 947 instead of 950. I was told I'm not ready to move up yet I'm hitting over 400 with 35 hrs and over 110 RBIs. I know hitting is not everything but I've passed all training sets, surpassed all advancement goals all year but this one and I'm still in AA. some slight tweaks to this would be awesome for 15

Do you guys hate Pulse Pitching? The reason I ask is that I turn everything off, except the scorebug, and that gives me a clean screen (except for the pulsating target.) I have to hit select every once in a while to remember the pitches my pitchers throw since it's not on the screen, but I think that keeps me more engaged as a pitcher.

As a couple of others have mentioned, one small gripe I have is there are too many balls fielded cleanly by the pitcher. Further, too many balls actually hit the pitcher, and worse, ~85% of the balls I've hit off the pitcher end up fielded in time to throw my runner out at 1st. It's like the fielders are clairvoyant and react without a fraction of a delay and are on the ball in an instant.

I hit a line drive off a pitchers forehead once and he left the game. It's the only time I've seen a pitcher leave after getting hit, and I thought it was pretty cool.

I didn't like it in 12, only because the target gave me a headache. From what I understand the interface is better in 13, but I haven't tried it yet.

I get that hitting the pitcher routine practically every game at least one time. 99.9% of the time they get my runner going to first.

Coming back to this game after trying out this year's football offerings from EA... Soooooo refreshing. MLB feels like a real sports game, completely engrossing. Haven't even given a thought about buying a PS4, but will certainly keep my eye on this series as it transitions over, and who knows I may think again.

That is why I do not buy EA games anymore. The Show does it right plus we can at least do some modding with sounds and faces.
