MLB 13: The Show

[ryne candy]

Is it maybe like Barry Bonds where they can't use his likeness? Although I wouldn't think so since I'm pretty sure he's been in the last couple of games.

I know they have had his picture years before, so something must have changed since that time.

 

[Meepichi]

I'm sure it'll be great, but I just got around the editing my MLB12 roster the way I want it! Looks like I'll probably be getting 13 late as well.

unfortunatly for Sony, this game peaked in 2010. its been downhill ever since. I still admire these devs for trying to top previous versions, but imo, they have not come close to the 2010 game

graphically, they cant do any better. the gameplay is about as good as can be. The AI leaves alot to be desired and thats where they have fallen short. RTTS and franchise modes jut feel like the same old same old.

their analog controls are terrible and might as well not exist. Maybe we will get lucky and they will include real analog controls for pitching and fielding

I am interested to see the expanded franchise mode that has been making the rounds around the net over the last several months. With the roster vault, and historical rosters, these games have tremendous replay value for me.

Cover vote is tomorrow. Candidates are:
Matt Kemp
Ryan Braun
Andrew McCutchen
Bryce Harper
CC Sabathia
Buster Posey
Miguel Cabrera

Not sure why Matt Kemp is on the list. :kanye:

 

[Price]

I still don't get why CC is an option.

 

[Goober]

I still don't get why CC is an option.

Are you trolling?
Sabathia is awesome.

 

[Glenbino]

Hopefully the new franchise stuff plays better than it sounds.

OOTP has given them the blueprint for how to create a realistic franchise engine.

I like that they are going to give RTTS an even more personal feel. I can't wait to see what the full list of improvements is.

 

[RyanLeaf16]

I'll be voting for McCutchen or Harper.

I would love to see the option to customize your franchise. That way, we can use historical rosters without having to fill in rosters for teams that weren't yet in operation.

 

[Price]

Are you trolling?
Sabathia is awesome.

Uhhh, no.

Just surprised CC is an option over Verlander or some other pitcher.

 

[Swarley]

Uhhh, no.

Just surprised CC is an option over Verlander or some other pitcher.

This is probably why...

Miggy SHOULD run away with it.

 

[Goober]

Miggy SHOULD run away with it.

Yeah because everyone loves a guy with a DUI on his record.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

No :trouty: would be understandable, considering he's a rookie, but Harper is also on it. Some non-baseball person had to have come up with this list.

 

[EmpireWF]

It'll be Kemp, Harper or Posey....leaning towards Posey. Don't count out Harper, kid has been cultivating fans since he was in high school

Yeah because everyone loves a guy with a DUI on his record.

Nobody cares about pro athletes, who are great at what they do, getting busted for a DUI.

Looking forward to this game as usual. I'm not as hard on the series as Maynard is. I believe in the saying if its not broke don't fix it. I will agree that it feels like the same game since 2010 but that's not nessecerily a bad thing.

I've never gotten into RTTS but that may change this year now that I have a Vita and I will most likely resist the temptation to join any online league as they never seem to finish a season.

CES video that shows cross play (HR Derby only)....the guy interviewing knows nothing of the series.
