Exactly.
Spot on.

Agree. To me retractable roofs were more importants than new players models in term of immersion. But I won't go up to say roofs were more important than STUPID player models.

We're not going anywhere talking like that.

Constructive criticism gets you noticed. Complaining and whining generally gets you ignored.

Your actually completely wrong in your assumptions.

I don't mind people criticizing the game at all. In my opinion, it's more annoying to see people get offended by others criticizing a game. I kind of like the nitpicky weirdos, and I say that with love, who become scarcer and scarcer in this more civil, modern Internet. These guys remind me of the epic flame wars I saw on Usenet back in the day.

But I think the reason I'm not so hard on the game is that I'm a pessimist by nature, and I think baseball video games are the least popular of the major sports games. So I don't expect much innovation and keep buying it in the hopes that they keep making it. It's already perfect to me, a daily ritual that keeps me sane. I honestly just want the game to be refined further, not remolded.

We've seen MLB 2K drop dead. The Show won't even be on Vita anymore (maybe that has more to do with Vita than baseball). The only baseball game on Xbox One is that RBI Baseball remake, which is not a valid option for hardcore players.

With NBA 2K and Madden, I get the criticism they get because they are like the AAA behemoths and they can take it. But I don't want to convince outsiders and casuals that The Show is a bad game based on our nitpicks. I want them to keep buying it so that the series keeps going.

If they didn't want undue criticism, they shouldn't have released a video this early. Something I hope will change is the slight choppiness that to me looks like ps3 era games. Rounding the bases, some swings, fielding, and several deliveries have this look to them that's kind of hard to describe. It's like there isn't a bridge from one animation to the next, and the animations don't look natural, kind of cut and pasted and not smoothed over at all. Nba 2k implemented dynamic shots or whatever, where the shot varied depending on the position and arrangement of the player. That was awesome and did a lot to make the game look great. 2k has the best gameplay plus the best graphics out there. The engine and animations look pretty much the exact same as it has been for years, and they look very dated. I had hoped that a push to ps4 only would make this better, but judging by that video, it has made it worse, as developers can pour time into cloth textures instead of fluid gameplay. Sandoval has the exact same swing animation that he has had for years now, with no update or smoothing whatsoever. Several times the player jumps right into an animation with no transition. And a lot of what should be fluid motions look like what I can only describe as a polygon with the edges kind of smoothed off. I've seen that double play animation for 4 years now, it looks no better. That baserunning looks terrible. The dive in slow motion clearly shows chops and inconsistencies. This is a pre beta build, I get that. But I highly doubt the gameplay will see that much improvement. And if it does, then great. But honestly, this video did basically nothing except instill fear that we're getting a pretty ps3 game. Sent from my D6708 using Tapatalk

THIS. Took the words out of my mouth.

With this year's 2K NBA making major strides I have to say it is the most realistic sports game out there. The Show, which I love a lot more, just isn't up to par with what 2K have done. But there is time to get things accomplished and come out with a nice version this year I think.

But yeah the fear remains that this team is too small or whatever to handle all that needs to be done for MLB. It's the little things.... and MLB is falling way behind on those little things every year. Not Madden tier yet....

And oh yeah guys Vita is dead. There is no reason whatsoever to waste precious resources when you can stream the PS4 version on it. None whatsoever. So much needs to be done for PS4 that at this point they need to kill the PS3 version as well. This engine needs major work.
