Playing it right now. Can we call this "Vita Impressions Thread" or something?

Anyway, not getting the PS4 version for another five hours so I thought I'd give this a crack as my first experience with this year's version.

I'll have to check out MLB 13 again, but I noticed an immediate difference in swing response in that it's better, and fielder control in that it's more precise and you really have to lineup with the ball instead of magnetize to it, etc. Strike zone also seems a little tall (on PS4 as well I'm sure). But I digress. I'll try and not say things related to the game itself as much as be Vita-specific.

Game's framerate is still the same, but compared to that of MLB 13 it seems like they tried to put in a lot of grass detail and it kind of becomes a chopped mess when you rotate across the screen. I wish they left out the "detail" in that regard. Analog controls are still "nubby" so it makes pitching and throwing a bit tough to work with. Sadly, it's been four years and there's still no option for removing "FOUL" and "OUT" texts (the "FOUL" one is bad because it gets right in the way of my pitching meter for my next pitch), and there's still no damn ball size option. The biggest head-scratcher is in replay the R and L triggers don't allow you to slow-advance/slow-rewind motion on the replay, and instead they are the same zoom-in/zoom-out functions that you can do with your fingers. I don't quite understand that one. Anyway, not hearing much Karros or Lyons at all. Most of their lines are probably removed to save space, but the quick pace also gives you very little time to hear them as well.

I can't wait to try Remote Play with this thing soon!

Yup, I had to search for it. Went up at about 10:30 PM PST last night.

Is this the only way to purchase the Vita game or will it be on shelves when I go looking? Curious...

Vita version doesn't have BP Village at Busch Stadium.
