Streaming @ http://www.twitch.tv/osauthentic if anyone wants to watch slider testing or gameplay.

not misinformation and that is moving the camera around not trying to hit, pitch or field a ball. If this game ran like that on those things I wouldn't be able to hit ever that would be like trying to play online.

what kind of slider testing?

I played The Show 11, 12, 13, and skipped 14. I love this game. It is the reason I bought a PS3 even when I already had an x-box.

So after a couple of weeks, here are my thoughts:

The game is very good. Very deep, with lots of options for gameplay. I won't even play every game mode over the course of the year because I am stuck on franchise and RTTS.

Hitting is more difficult, on every setting. As has already been written, there seems to be a lot of focus on working counts. Ironically, I feel like working counts is easier. I am able to read pitches better than I did in 13.

Pitching seems easier. Or maybe I'm just better at it now. Either way, I have my pitching sliders a lot higher in difficulty than hitting, and I do just fine - which is a miracle because I'm not a hard-core gamer.

What the @$%@ is up with the bunting. The AI bunts all the @#$%! time. Bases loaded, bases empty, it doesn't seem to matter. I'm guessing the AI is more sensitive to defensive positions now or something? It's really annoying how many times guys bunt now.

And lastly, what's with all the @%$!@ triples? A ball in the hole with a guy with 50 or geater speed is pretty much automatically 3 bases now? I'm shocked I haven't hit for the cycle yet with anyone. Either baserunners are way too fast now, of fielders way too slow, but it doesn't seem right.

Aside from those two major (for me) issues, I like this game very much. I know there is a 2-strike bug but I would think will be addressed in the near future, but other than that, I enjoy this year's game just as much as before. It's certainly the best baseball game on the market, and arguably the best sports game.

I don't know why you guys are so salty towards people showing technical issues. It's in the game. Deal with it and have fun.

# 490 huskerfan4life @ 04/17/15 04:32 PM

the game is top notch plus with playing my Cubs franchise is extra special withthe OSFM V 1 makes it even moee realistic, SCEA San Diego and the OSFM roster makers keep up the great work.

you panned a camera. No gameplay.

I'm not sure what you're trying to prove or why you're trying to prove it?

# 492 bad_philanthropy @ 04/17/15 07:12 PM

Anyone feel like they foul too many balls off that stay in play for an out�both behind the plate and in the outfield?

# 493 My993C2 @ 04/17/15 08:14 PM

For anyone who has attempted to use the Sportscast Manager CPU vs CPU game screen to simulate some of their games, they will have noticed that everything works fine the first game you simulate using this feature. But if you exit the screen to save your Season or Franchise, the 2nd time you access this screen you should see that the game panels have shift down to the point where they are obstructing the scoreboard where you can't see the score after the 5th inning. This problem is new to this MLB 15 release. This feature worked fine in previous years.

Anyway here is a new bug report if the issue concerns you:

# 494 Tomba @ 04/17/15 09:08 PM

Impressions...

Licensing and Lighting

Custom Cameras save

Skin textures and Flag physics

All the above things mentioned make the game truly better...

My hopes and wishes for next years game?

Batting and pitching interfaces like they are in Pro Yakyuu Spirits 2015

Grass to not have have this washed out look when your batting or fielding a ball

and...

More real Sponsors and less fake advertisements throughout the stadium
If its an issue with solidifying money why not charge us a DLC that give us stadium speciifc ads?

For me yes but that is because I tend to pop up a lot because I don't hit the high fastball that while.

Comes down to budget. Despite the game being advertising for the real companies. They are going to want money for their logo's to be used, then you have to pay Nike, Mizuno, Under Armour, Franklin, Lousiville Slugger etc. Then what happens when a new sponsor takes over and the game still has an old one.

Its a lot more complicated that simply charging you for it.

I can't describe how much I enjoy this game. I decided to play the live today game of the Padres vs. the Cubs. I played as the Padres & I literally just threw my first ever no hitter/perfect game. I was shaking by the 7th inning because of them subtly talking about it. But I got it done on 94 pitches & struck out 12 batters. But to put the icing on top of James Shields throwing the perfect game, I also hit a 2 run homer with him. Plus I hit homers with Myers, Norris, Upton & Middlebrooks. Game was 12 to 0. Best game ever played...

wow I have never hit a HR with a pitcher in any MLB the show game before and I think I have only had 1 perfect game or no hitter before.

I have no idea about this kind of stuff but that's crazy to me. In every other form of media companies are paying developers, be it movies or tv or radio, to advertise or place their products somewhere. In video games it's opposite? That doesn't make sense to me. Someone some where must have said whoa they should be paying us not the other way around.

Move the camera is part of the gameplay, especially in RTTS mode. In every game, to be honest. What's the point of your reply ? Don't move the camera and you'll be fine ?

These days...
