MLB 14 The Show Screenshots (PS4)

[tnixen]

Speaking of dirt could someone show examples of how the dirt in MLB 14 The Show could be improved?

I am just asking because to my eyes the dirt looks pretty good.

There's definitely a right way to complain. And there's definitely a very wrong way.

The wrong way gets people removed from the forums.

I just feel at times the right way gets a little too much flack and the response is usually "who cares? It's not detrimental to the gameplay!" That's not really fair.

Anyway I'm not trying to change the conversation of this thread. The screenshots are amazing and one thing I know about SCEA is they will look better with every iteration of the title.

Likely to make a better looking overall game. So why not dirt? You can call the complaint ridiculous or you can actually admire the fact that dirt is the biggest issue a poster has in a game that has very little else to complain over. But attacking the person for it? His complaints are legitimate and isn't the mantra "we should continue to push developers" something gamers abide by? So again, explain to me why not dirt? Why not the Jays blue? Why not facial detail? Why not franchise mode? Why not whatever someone will eventually complain about because that's all they can point to when everything else looks so good?

I don't think I've ever attacked anyone. I rather not post than attack anyone. I just feel some of these complaints are over the top. They have their opinions, and I have mine.
To me I feel the dirt complaint is a little too much, nor do I feel the grass update is important to me. I will never notice these elements when playing the game.
The Show is a great game but I definitely do think it can use some improvements, especially the franchise mode. To me, that is a much more important aspect than new dirt.
I guess I tend to side with the posters complaining about the complainers. I don't see anything wrong with that when I'm not attacking anyone.

The 'Little Things Thread' is going to be off-the-charts this generation.

Also, I heard that a video is, "in the oven". Is it done baking yet??

I think when you see the beautiful 3D grass next to a flat dirt texture that is a little blurry in some of the pics it doesn't look so "next gen"

You see it best in the Minute maid park pic. I do appreciate these pics are compressed though.

I hope baserunners movements will no longer be in unison either.

Pretty excited to see how an overcast game will look now!

It lacks dimension and texture, it gives the appearance that it is a smooth surface. It may be done on purpose for processing for all I know. It stands out even more now because the grass has texture now. I know they show particle effects when running and sliding but the particles are too big to be believable. It does not bother me at all but I know it is not 100% correct either. If this was a game where all we did was stare at the dirt I could see it as an issue but when the game is moving that is the last thing that will be on people's minds.
