There is a digital manual that you can access.
Thanks, also this is my first simulated baseball game I have ever bought. I heard good things abt the show for many years. Slided in due to no major games till watch doga comes.
Nah it's valid. I don't think I've ever heard the commentators get excited about anything. Haven't seen playoffs or world series yet but it's like everyone is sedated.

It's bad enough that Masahiro Tanaka and Yangervis Solarte share a generic white guy model, but did he have to be bearded?
they really like beards this year for some reason, I swear all the Orioles players have beards despite the team having a clean shaven policy during the season
And sadly the hair and beards don't look that great. They are probably the most major issue I have with the graphics.

Colby Rasmus looks nothing like he should either
Is there a trick to getting pitches to go anywhere near where you place the cursor? I've tried each different pitching UI and all of them give me the same problems. I used the classic style pitching mechanic, threw perfect pitches each time, and ended up walking the batter because no matter where I placed the cursor my guy couldn't throw a strike to save his life. It's incredibly infuriating. It feels like the game is goading me into buying stubs to up my pitch control.
rtts I assume? I always start w/ high velocity and low control so I just throw a lot of 4-seam fastballs until I get my control stats up. Players in AA suck at hitting a 100mph heater
if you're playing an exhibition or something, you shouldn't be having problems. I would blame input lag in that case, but you say the game shows you perfect release

You're trash. You should be worrying about the game tonight.
sorry, had to
Those are HoFer numbers.

Yeah, see my post a few up. Though a AA pitcher with a slurve, knuckler and a two seamer, I would expect to put up those numbers.

You can also just turn your controller off and back on it will fix it.

game looks so good in some screens and rough in others...ahhhh
it's not just the screens, the game is really inconsistent visually. Hope next year is more PS4 than PS3
you can make it as arcadey as you want. in addition to your usual sliders, they have a ton of options for control styles that take it anywhere from arcade to full analog sim
they also have a progressive difficulty setting that starts out easy and gets more difficult as you improve

I have a question.
PS4 version.
I have hit maybe 20 or so HR in franchise mode. None of them triggered the home run celebration shot, or the player HR admiration shot. Not one.
Is this tied to what cam angle you use or whether its broadcast style or dynamic?

Yeah, I feel the same. I played for the first time last night and while it looks good -- sometimes you don't notice the "upgrade."
Also, lol at Tanaka.

Or fireworks when you win. I was thinking that all last night when I hit a walk off grand slam. Still awesome.
Playing my first game the other night on full beginner settings with quick counts turned on felt very arcady. And very fun.
I have 6 games played in Diamond Dynasty and still a 0 rating. What is the reason behind that? Is it because I am playing on Rookie?
Now just played my first online game in DD an d the other guy disconnected because he was losing. Kinda bullshit that you don't get a win for that.

Something is off in your game. Neither my Tanaka nor Solarte look anywhere close to that. Here's how mine appear.

That is exceptionally weird. How do I go about fixing that? I'm using the official rosters (this was a MLB LIVE game anyway)

Download the OSFM 2.0 from the roster vault.
Did you load the roster after downloading it? I discovered that mine doesn't auto-load. I have to do it manually every time I boot the game. I think you're using the place-holder models.

With classic the control of your pitcher is based on his control rating.

This.
Knight and his friends do a stellar job with these rosters (O.S.F.M.) year in and year out. The Live Rosters are very superficial and inaccurate compared to (O.S.F.M.)

So my game got stuck on this screen.
The bottom bar is still animating so it's not totally locked up. I would turn off the PS4 but I've had a killer few games and I haven't saved.
Help me GAF!!!
EDIT: switching users fixed it.
That Share button is awesome tho.
CRUMPS!

Go into batting practice and take about 500 swings.

Facial hair in the PS4 version looks awful. Freddie Freeman's beard and eyebrows look like they were put on by the MSPaint spray can.

How do I turn quick count matches off online? It is possible right?

i've been begging for over 5 years.
I tried a daily challenge or some such last night it was McCutchen vs Wainwright and you control McCutchen. As you get hits you progress in difficulty once it got to HOF the zone indicator became incredibly small and I couldn't do anything but foul or whiff. Shits hard.
Usually I play on vet and can hit pretty decent so I don't think it's me.

don't think the MLB The Show series goes on sale really, it'll have price drops though

Is there no way to customize ranked match - they all have quick count on?

First exhibition game, first time pitching
on beginner!
I haven't played a proper baseball game since Ken Griffey Jr on the Super Nintendo. Hell, not even sure why I wanted to get this game as I haven't followed baseball (or any sport really) since the '94 strike. Maybe it's genre fatigue or lack of (for me anyway) interesting titles on the PS4, but I was hella hyped to pick this up. Fuck me this game looks to be pretty deep, but I enjoyed the few hours I played last night. I did horrible on the RTTS exhibitions, failed miserably at batting practice then said fuck it and tried an exhibition game as the Rangers because, well, Texas lol. Don't really have a favorite team any longer, maybe I should pick one hah! I don't reckon I'll ever throw another perfect game (especially once I increase the difficulty/try the different control options) but it was cool as shit!
Oh yeah, the play by play guys are worse than JBL... didn't think that was possible :/
It'll drop to $30 or 40 after the season but that's probably as low as new copies will go until MLB 15 is released.
