MLB 10 News Post

Have you ever wanted to work on a video game? Would you like the opportunity to get your foot in the door? Do you have an acute eye for details? Do you live and breath MLB The Show? If so continue reading.

How would you like to work on MLB The Show as a baseball specialist for 6 months? You must either live in the SD area or relocate for the six month contract. What am I doing for these six months you ask? Testing the game for the most part there will also be opportunities to give feedback on new features that are implemented in the game as well. However your main duties would be play testing the game and helping to make sure RTTS, Franchise mode, for example works the way its intended to. You would be located in the heart of the MLB development team where you skills and opinions would be used in a host of areas.

Why are we doing this? Well we have our reasons some more obvious than others. Most importantly it's very apparent to us and everyone else that regular/hardcore consumers play games differently than normal QA testers do its that simple really.

Who? You
What? MLB The Show baseball specialists program- You work with the development team as a super tester of sorts.
When? Starts in July/August and runs until November/January (time frame still being discussed.)
Where? San Diego Studios where MLB The Show is developed
How much? Yes this is a paid position


Anyone interested? There will be a normal application and screening process like any other profession in the game industry. We are just gauging interest and possible candidates at this point. Later on we will have a full job description with all the details if we decide to move forward with the program.

Questions? (I'll answer what I can)
P.S. Please do not pm me about this

I'm interested, but Next semester will be my last in college. So I would definitely do it for three months (During Vacation) and then continue after I graduate from College.

P.S ( This is a great opportunity that will help me get familiar with the video game industry and technology which I've loved since I was a Kid).

You just did.

I'd definitely be interested in more details on this. As you guys know, I do a lot to try to help improve this game(stances, tracking roster moves etc) and would love to be involved in tweaking the game to make it even more amazing right out of the box.

I live in SD and I am really interested about this. This is great idea to get the community involved in the game.

Hi, I am currently a college student living in San Diego, and I would love to be on board to help with anything dealing with this wonderful video game. I play nothing but franchise mode

Heck, a round of California Burritos will be all on me for the whole entire staff

I'm in high school, and no one knows or gives a damn about me here, but this is a great opportunity and I'm just really excited that some members of this community can actually get into the process of the development of the game and voice our opinions directly with the programmers and the rest of The Show team.

This makes The Show '11 seem that much more attractive knowing that this much research and detail and customer satisfaction will be looked into.

Want to reiterate that this is a 6 month contract position the likely hood of the contract being extended is very very slim. I have read some comments of people packing up everything to do this we don't want to give anyone false hope.
 
# 69 franch1se @ 04/12/10 08:10 PM
definitely would be interested in live in San Diego
 
# 70 statum71 @ 04/12/10 09:59 PM
Man...I would love too. But I'm in Texas. Can't pack up and leave for 6 months.

curses, i've played every the show (06, 07, 08, 09, and 10) and i only joined here about 2 months or so ago, this stinks, oh well, still pretty cool thing to do

Im definatly interesting... but i guess this isnt possible for a foringer.
 
# 73 Pistolero @ 04/14/10 10:31 AM
Only bummer is a short term deal, if it was a longer deal it would be great to move out there for anybody. I know I would consider it.

I'm interested-- sounds like a great opportunity for a huge fan of this game and baseball!
 
# 75 BombshellRocks @ 04/14/10 08:26 PM
I would absolutely be interested in something like this, this would be an amazing opportunity!!! I'm a huge MLB The Show fan and baseball fan in general. I live in Los Angeles as a freelance television editor and just finished my most recent project a week ago so I'm used to 6 month projects. I'm month to month on my lease so moving wouldn't be a problem. I have 5+ years experience working for Fox Sports doing live MLB broadcasts so I know the presentation aspect quite well.

All in all, sounds like an amazing opportunity for someone if this indeed does come to fruition.

LOL, and you know what they say, "when oppertunity knocks, make sure you use spell check."

good catch magoo -- kinda posted that in a hurry. It will be awesome for whoever gets this opportunity to work with SCEA to make a great game even better.

I've been a member here for quite a few years now, just don't post all the time. I'd love an opportunity like this.
