By the sharpness, I assume the bottom photo is the PS4 version, but that it's even in doubt really puts this whole next-gen thing in perspective.

Opposite. Look closer and you can tell the small details are much clearer.

seriously? man you dont need a ps4 if you cant see the difference. the top pic is clearly the ps4. look at his face, the detail. at first glance, that looks like a real person

[Maynard]

so except for the visuals...there is no difference between the ps3 and ps4 versions?

I'm sure I will get the PS4 version but I hate dropping cash on the Show... I rarely finish 2 seasons of RTTS. Hopefully the generated pitch counts will make the game more appealing to me.

[Maynard]

what do you mean generated counts?

Read the thread. There are differences besides the visuals.

Quick Count speeds up the game by using an algorithm to create a generated pitch count. With this feature enabled, every at bat will start in either middle or late counts: 1-1, 2-1, 3-1, 0-2, 1-2, 2-2, and 3-1. The pitcher/batter attribute matchup will have an influence on the type of pitch down it sims to. Quick Counts will not compromise realistic stats, but you may see a slight increase in strike outs and walks. According to game designer and community specialist Ramone Russell, Quick Counts can cut your game completion times in half if used in conjunction with the Fast Play presentation setting.
"Games can now be completed in as little as 30 minutes," Russell notes.

how does that make RTTS more appealing? instead of a full AB people actually only want one or two swings? I always play as a pitcher so its never an issue for me...but one thing that always bothered me about RTTS was when i tried to be a SS and found that the only time i saw action in the field was when the game decided it was time for me to field a hit. This struck me as totally lame because you always knew when to expect the ball

why even play it this way? why not just sim it and then distribute the points cause thats all generated counts is allowing you to do anyways
