MLB 13: The Show Live Launches

08:22 PM - April 1, 2013 by RaychelSnr

One of the most anticipated features in MLB 13: The Show this season is The Show Live feature, which allows you to play any game of the MLB 2013 season with the correct rosters, pitching matchups, and conditions. Promised was situational accurate commentary, and other presentational touches to give you the feel that you are playing the exact game that is played in real life.

The initial returns of The Show Live's first full day on the job seems to be somewhat positive. However, there are several roster gaffes being reported, as well as other odds and ends including live scores not updating fast within the mode.

There are surely bugs that will continue to be worked out -- we will have our full review of this mode coming up later this week after we get some more time with it.

How is your first day with The Show Live going?

I'm not sure if this is a known issue or not. I tried to look through some of the thread, but it would take a week.

Anyway, I have been trying to play this mode for about 3 days now and the Indians lineup is no where near accurate. And the pitchers aren't right either. Swisher plays 1B and they have had him at DH since this went live. Also, players are out of position in the lineup every game.

I'm not bitching, I just want to know if this an issue and they are working on it, or this is just gonna be how it is.

Profar played last year so he's in the game. And I love your videos by the way!

It'd be nice if we could clean this stuff up on our own. The Rockies' lineup has been off most days, too.

The Met's roster was spot on last night. I agree that it would be nice if you can edit the lineup before the game starts. However, I really enjoy The Show Live. It is a great addition to a great game. Actually, the only real problem I have with this game is the fact that I don't have enough time to play.

I'm playing tonight's Rangers/Ms game (which does have Grimm & Felix starting, earlier had Oqendo & Erasmo Ramirez) and it still says Felix has 98 though it showed his record as 1-1 (which should make it 99 for him). The note about the game correctly said Felix was going for 100 though.

Just got this game, playing my first game today.....Padres/Dodgers....

1st inning, I hit a 2 run HR with Adrian Gonzalez.....I currently lead 2-0 in the 4th

I just looked at the REAL score on my phone and it's 2-0 Dodgers in the 3rd inning from......you guessed it.....an Adrian Gonzalez HR in the 1st inning.

WOW.

only difference is the base runner who scored the run

I've been playing Live mode quite a bit. I really enjoy it, but hope they work on fixing the rosters soon. Last night I played a Twins-Royals game from the previous night (Tues). The CPU brought in Ervin Santana as the Royals closer in the 9th. Worley was listed as my closer. I hadn't really noticed this issue--with starters were being shown as relievers until just recently--after the most recent roster update. I don't know if that's what has caused it, or if I just hadn't played these teams and it's been this way since the beginning. I understand the challenges of fixing rookies in this mode, but I would think pitching staffs, starters and relievers shouldn't be that difficult to get right.

yea I have noticed this too. Also for some reason guys are on the wrong teams. Playing reds and bucs game tonight. Devin Mesoraco is on the PIRATES bench while in real life he is starting for the Reds.
This mode is starting to disappoint me now. I understand that it takes time to get rookies into the game and Im fine if they have to put a free agent or a made up player every in the game every now and then. But when I go through every game today and see multiple mistakes with each team, even non-rookie mistakes. then I get upset. Especially when it says "MLB.com roster feeds (giving you real-life rosters)" in the mode.
Hopefully this problem is just occurring because it is the 2nd week of the season.

I only tried two Cubs games, but in both (different days) games the lineup on the Show Live menu listed Dave Sappelt as starting, only to have Joe Mather in the actual game instead, and Sappelt nowhere to be found; not even on the bench.

Confusing, especially when I don't think Mather is with the Cubs organization at all anymore.

SCEA has a reputation of not adding a game mode until it is fully complete and working. I'm a little disappointed in this mode so far and it feels like they were pressured to release this mode before it was ready.

I hope it gets better in the future.

Jose Reyes was still in the Blue Jays lineup today, even though he is out until the All-Star break.

I still played the game and as the Blue Jays won 4-3. Hit a monster 3-run HR with Bautista that banged off the foul pole, about 3/4 of the way up.

# 132 thaSLAB @ 04/14/13 06:45 PM

Something that I thought was pretty neat. The loading screen from a Show Live game the other day...

Attachment 58301

Although the team records were off by 1, the stats were spot on with what I saw on MLB network.

I think you played the game before the lineups were updated. I played later in the day, and it has Kawasaki at SS.

Actually both lineups were spot on. Jays even had Bautista at 3B, which made me do a double take when he fielded a grounder.

Yes, I did play the game before the lineups were updated. Still, Reyes was hurt on a Friday and the game I played was Sunday, so he should've still been out of the lineup.

Again, not a huge deal but it'd be nice to be able to edit the lineups ourselves before starting a game.

# 135 Rangerneb @ 04/15/13 11:34 AM

I noticed that Brian Roberts is the DH for the Orioles, even though he is out for the foreseeable future.

# 136 rskjackson @ 04/15/13 01:21 PM

I gave this a try for the first time yesterday (Royals vs. Toronto) and the line ups were right on. However...I noticed the Royals bullpen had two players that weren't correct (Phil Hughes was one of them?). In addition,
Miguel Tejada wasn't listed as a reserve. Otherwise...neat addition to the game.

# 137 Majingir @ 04/15/13 07:45 PM

lol, Michael Bourn is on the Jays roster on the show live...

# 138 NYMets945 @ 04/15/13 08:05 PM

For some of these issues u have to make sure the current Online roster update is loaded or otherwise wont have current rosters from SCEA

Any reason why 4/15 on TSL was not represented as Jackie Robinson Day with #42 Uni's?

I played the Jays-Sox game and Matty V. did reference it being JR Day in his pregame talk, but the players were wearing their regular uni #s.
