Larger Base Pads Not In MLB The Show 23??

[ricket]

Overall I enjoyed today's gameplay preview, but I have to admit I was alarmed to hear the base pads would not be enlarged to reflect the new MLB rule changes this year.

This seems like a big miss from a gameplay and visual standpoint.

I’m kind of surprised it wasn’t in. But, really I don’t even know if it would have been that noticeable in the game.

I wouldn't have even noticed if the bases were a different size.

The fact that the base size and pitch clock weren't added in franchise is disappointing but not unexpected. SDS has no intention of creating a true BB SIM game. They go above and beyond to add little details to DD and competitive mode but franchise is the red headed stepchild to SDS and gets under the hood tweaks and refresh. These are the little things that should be included at a minimum but here we are playing a game on NG consoles that's still old gen quality.

You’re not getting the game, right?

In all fairness, the ground (and anything touching it) hasn’t been updated in a decade. Perhaps we should say, “well maybe next decade” the textures (and the size of the bases) may see an upgrade.

It’s really a shame. Having modeled 3D objects and modded objects for other games — it really doesn’t take much effort to enhance the size of an asset that’s already been built. Can’t tell if it’s laziness or pure negligence. Either way, how could any dev be happy, or even satisfied with this? Is it to spite the community at this point? Most assets in this game are still ps3/ps4 era. I just can’t help but wonder what’s really going on at the studio. They would benefit from a new engine as well. Until then, same ol same ol.

My first thought was that it’s not the models that are an issue but all the animations associated with slides, tags, etc that need to be modified. Still a shame though without a doubt.

Interesting theory. Now, you're sure it's not out of spite because they're lazy, negligent, and secretly hate us? Alright man.
