That's what's gonna suck for Jays fans playing MLB The Show online. People are gonna be like "Why are you picking Jays? Just cause they're stacked?".

But I'm interested to see what fans from other teams think of Jays once 2013 regular season is underway. Maybe some fans of NL teams start following Jays in the AL(since they might be tired of only hearing about yankees,rangers,angels,red sox in the AL every year)

Very excited to hear in depth about the scouting system. I know many of us (myself included) have been begging for an updated/in depth style of scouting/drafting. Hopefully it delivers this year.

Nice looking screens. Looks the same, which is not bad thing for me. I was cool with score-bug along top of the screen. The new is good. I like how they show the next batter on deck while Jeter was at bat. I am fan of the product. I have my gripes, but there minimum.

hitting was too hard? Come on, I had to move from HoF to Legendary just to have some kind of challenge. Hitting gets easier every year. I mean people can't tell me that they're not getting hits like crazy when they're playing on rookie or veteran.

btw: finally cursor batting as an option this year? Been waiting for this sooooo long

Or at least better physics and stuff? I know they had better physics last year but it was still miles behind PYS.

Anyway, I'll probably skip The Show 13 and only buy PYS 2013 this year. I'll wait for the next-gen The Show which hopefully will be The Show 14

game looks amazing. didnt think it could look any better, but god damn, before its too late this year, add some time to see the ball on bat contact from that camera view. It adds so much to the game.

please get this in.

I'm thinking those are the tools you tell your scout to look for, so the L-hand icon would be left-handed pitching (often viewed as a "skill" in scouting context). My guess is the new scouting system will be more focused on identifying players with specific skills, rather than having a big list and scouting each player. Eg, you send your scout on assignment to find a hard-throwing lefty or a slick-fielding SS. If that's the case, I'll love it.

There's a difficulty level above legend?

One thing the 2K series does right is the way they allow the ball to travel off the bat for a second before switching to the fielding camera. I really wish The Show would add this.

I would sign for this as well.

Yes as long as it is optional. I use auto fielding so this would work for me.

The new scorebug does look great. I do see a few things it could benefit from:

1. After each pitch, flash the pitch speed and type (for example - "81 MPH CH"). If real estate is an issue place it where the count is for a second and then switch back to the count, like a lot of TV scorebugs do. This should display regardless of whether pitch callout is on or off. I want to play with pitch callout OFF but still have the speed/type flash in the scorebug.

2. Show the pitch count (NESN scorebug shows this). Ideally would even be broken down by balls/strikes. Maybe just add a little section to the right side of the bug:

S: 27
B: 17
T: 44

3. Not really sure about this one because it's not really consistent with TV scorebugs but it would be nice to see at a glance that there is a burner on base. For example, if there is a fast runner on first or second have a little foot icon on the yellow on-base indicator. I guess we can already see this in the runner windows but it's always kinda bugged me that the runner window information is not available for a runner at second base.

These things along with being able to turn all other OSDs off (which is great!) would make for a great immersive exp. IMO

# 73 Doogie09 @ 01/10/13 12:35 PM

Agree on the pitch speed and type, we should be able to see them like real TV braodcasts have. Prior versions always had that. Is this just because the OSD were off?

# 74 Bulls321974 @ 01/10/13 12:41 PM

One thing I'm missing is the cutscenes that really improved the authenticity of the game first in MLB 12 - The Show. For example when pitchers leave the mound after a pitch and come back or batters swing the bat a couple of times and so on. I hope they've not taken it out because it made the game a lot more TV-like than before...

I hope they dummy down the hitting too much. I think it was just right. This is coming from a man who team is batting .230 as team on veteran hitting. And love it. 3 players in my starting lineup batting over .275, but 3rd in the NL w/29HRS thru 51gms.

Would love the Pitch Count on the scorebug or somewhere else shown at all times!

You guys will love it.
(hitting....I got pre-empted by yet another tnixen "pitch count" request in between posts...sorry)

haha, I remember those days.

I also love how for community days, instead of asking about gameplay, physics, AI etc. the boards get flooded with questions about bench players' stances and ratings.
