MLB 14 The Show: How to Improve the Presentation

[Blzer]

Authentic broadcast fielding camera, please. Six years being teased with it and still only available in no-doubt home runs (apparently less frequently now), instant replays, and Home Run Derby. Though even that camera should be slightly higher off the ground.

If find it hard to believe that a 20 dollar game back in 2005 could do all of this but a game in 2014 and beyond can't.

I know it won't be easy to do, but I've been dying for a new play-by-play man for a while now. Besides that, I'd love rtts to have more of a storyline, like NBA2k does. That would be awesome!

I'm not sure why people act as if SCEA can't or won't do this.

Ramone clearly just responded to Knight's post as being spot on that they have these ideas and want to get some of the ideas, if not all, into the game. Just haven't been able to at this point.

People forget they re-wrote how hitting works, added new animations, built every single stadium in the game from the ground up for the PS4, worked on AI, and amongst a host of other things. But since something you want didn't make it, then the company suddenly becomes, lazy, incompetent, or both. :

Better reactions to situations, both by hitters and pitchers. Guys breaking bats on strikeouts, failing to break bats (maybe the commentator makes a joke about it). Fist pumps, bat flips, maybe show the pitcher getting jacked for a double play, great catch, etc. Just more emotion in general from the commentators and players in big moments.

I want the game to take pictures of my RTTS player's biggest moments and show them back to me later. I want to be able to see my player's first AA, AAA, and major league hits, first ALL star game, all complete with the uniform and gear my player was wearing at that time. Like a scrap book of RTTS highlights.

I'm with ya on DD. I'm interested in hearing how many people, based on SCEA's info they get from each user, actually play the game mode. I felt like it was a waste. But besides the point, like someone else said, I think Ramone and Co. have a whole plethera of ideas that will blow our minds for upcoming iterations and for next year.

I will say though, cutscenes are brutal at times. Transitions from gameplay to cutscenes are soo choppy. That's gotta be fixed to make the presentation feel less detached.
