MLB 14 The Show: Little Issues Hampering the Fun

[gator3guy]

I rarely use contact swing unless I'm 0-2 or has a weak hitter at the plate, but I was hitting with Jean Segura, 1 out, man on 3rd, 0-2 count, I just wanted a ground ball up the middle so I did swing influence "down" and contact swing. Don't you know the next pitch goes 420 to dead center. Keep in mind Segura has like 37 power. Not sure if something got messed up in the code, but I was shocked when it happened.

For me, the things that really bother me at the moment:

Sliding/warp tags- It takes away from making a great read, when my player is sliding in mud and the CPU pulls a swipe tag out of the sky. This has been in the series for years now.

CPU sliding into every base- it completely takes the hit and run option out for me because I can never go first to 3rd. I have no idea what is causing it.

White generic faces in "The Show Live" for SCEA CAPS. Pretty much ruined the mode for me. Playing with the Mariners and seeing James Jones with a white face, beard, and black arms is a big eye sore.

No hit variety- No bloopers. No hits over OFers. The OFers react too quickly still. The outfields still look too small. All my hits are either HRs, line drive one-hops in front of the OFers, or ground balls up the middle. It's pretty disappointing we still have this problem in the series.

Must have a different copy, not getting frame rate studders at all. And have no issue with contact swings producing home runs, it happens in real life every single night, same with the camera, I haven't had to reset it at all and I use a custom view. Go figure.

I also don't find contact to be that big of a deal. I've hit 2 homeruns with it in about 15 games. I also play on Legend with Houston. Maybe contact is OP on AS or lower, but then I'd recommend putting the difficulty up.

Can you explain it a little more in depth? Or provide a video? I've never seen this happen, and I'm not sure what you mean by playing "under ALL PITCHES".

Do you mean when you play with Quick Counts OFF?

I play RTTS and Player Lock (in Franchise Mode) all the time, never had the camera circle around.

I'm gonna try now...

To the author:

gameplay, pitching, pitching ball marker fade (you can feel the edges of the zone with rumble)

advanced,pitch callout to off

This is to prevent your on same couch opponent from knowing pitch type and location

Biggest issue is the pickoffs on both offense and defense. Too many overthrows, and maybe its just me being slow but it has become almost an automatic pick off if you take one step off the base.

Yea it is only something that happens in this mode when you play and select to see all pitches. You get options to watch only your plays and at bats, and certain other options. Then you get the option to see all pitches, when you select that you will see the issue unless it has been patched with I would really doubt. I've only attempted one player lock game and it was such a horrible experience I've yet to go back for more.

Does it only happen when your player is in the field? I'm player locked as Bautista right now, sitting on the bench watching the end of inning. No spinning camera yet.

I'll update once I hit the field.
