Do you have a video capturing unit?

Preferably, if so, can you post a video of you pitching a few sliders from the Default catcher view with the ballmarker on?

Figured, on pulse the amount of "effort" is supposed to be situational but I can't pick up any distinct patterns...

Been using the Reds playing a franchise waiting for the OSFM, and about 20 games in now.
Have you taken a look at the pitch timing, to see how good your release is? Also, do you pitch with the ball marker on? Pitch break actually varies dependent on where you aim it too. You may already be aware of that though.

I got the impression yesterday after BRYCE HARPERS 2 HOMERUNS !! That the ratings between him and MIKE TROUT were spot on !!

Oh really? How about Clayton Kershaw? Wanna up his power rating? Stamina rating? Oh, and how about Posey's 97 contact rating against lefties?

I apologize if I upset you. I always reserve the right to eat my words after all we are not gms or scouts. Which is also why I avoid speaking definitively ab a player. Our convo made those 2 blasts much more enjoyable. I thank you for that and encourage you to call me out on my predictions and critique them so hopefully I get better.

Well, the point is, how can you make any judgements based on one game? What did Pujols, Hamilton and Trout do that day? The only one to get a hit was Trout. Harper was facing Nolasco and Angels were facing, in my opinion, a better pitcher in Cueto, who, except for Pujols, they probably hadn't seen before.

Kershaw is under-rated in this game regarding HR/9, and stamina, and control. Yes, he is a 99, but I am referring to those attributes I mentioned above.

I know just getting a rise out of ya

Can someone direct me too a bug thread. Playing at Petco. The short RF extension. I hit a ball against what looks like a small fence on top of the wall with a yellow line on top of the fence. It went thru the fence and called it a homer.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before. Does anyone else want SCEA and OOTP (out of the park) to get together and make a sick baseball game?

Hey, I'm 70 years old and the only time you get a rise out of me is when I go to the bathroom

I mentioned positives the other day, it's only fair to air some grievances:

Commentary. Somehow took a step back from previous years. Too much dead air and I've noticed more errors than ever before when calling the action.

MLB Live. No in-game save option is a real bummer. I have a very limited schedule for gaming and would like to play this mode, but without in-game saves it is not worth it to start a game and know I won't be able to finish it.

The new timing window. I'm not a big fan. Yes, it was tough to hit in 12 but to me also more realistic. With 13 I am just all off. Swings that look dead-on are labeled 'early' or 'way early' and when you look at replays, I just don't see it. So, after 2-3 innings I wait an extra beat and miss pitches with 'late' timing. There's no middle ground I feel like with this game.

Opposite field hits, especially by the CPU, feel overpowered. I've seen a couple of pitches out of the zone get yanked over the RF fence. I can see getting a base hit but a HR? I have to question that a little.

After having played the game a little more now I noticed something is missing or I just haven't seen it yet.

Where are the in game overlays that shows (for example) the current pitcher is the 2nd best strike out pitcher / the batter(s) with the most RBI's / batter(s) with the most doubles that show up in appropriate situations.

I always really liked this overlays but haven't seen them in 13 so far...

Yes and release it on pc too. It's never gonna happen.

This is some sort of competition? Look, players are for the most part not given attributes based on what they might do next year. What Trout and Harper do this year should be reflected in their attributes for MLB The Show 14. The attributes given them in MLB The Show 13 should reflect what they did last year, in my opinion.

I thought it was the opposite. Ratings based on wht will happen in 2013.

Trout should have better power vs RHP That was your original impression. I think that Harper will have better power numbers vs rhp than trout.

Either way just compare the year end numbers of those two. Trout sounds like one of your faves so i know you will give in depth Information , actual eye test evaluations , plus the small parts that give him character. Example : they tie in homers but trout put 4 in the upper decks. Edge trout. Plus I mean I'll watch it as close as I can. This will be a very exciting year but I will not see it all.
