Ha thanks. It's was in my 2nd year in the majors, I think.
Can't remember the amount of points I got for it, since it's been a while ago now and I had to wait for my account to be activated here lol.

The max you get points for is a 10 pitch AB I believe.

rosters in this game are all sorts of screwed up. christ. recent update put Nelson cruz on the rangers

So best buy has this game for $40 and I see they are trading in the PS3 copy for $30, is it worth a ten dollar upgrade?

I might do it anyway, as the DS4 blows the DS3 out of the water...

Absolutely. Dont forget to do a cloud save.

Is the frame rate fixed? I noticed it dropped quite a bit when the ball was just hit off of the bat.

But any big changes or just some graphical polish?

Frame rate is sketchy in the "cutscenes" between plays, but I haven't noticed any drops during actual play and fielding.

No major changes - game looks much better due to the higher resolution and improved stadiums. The minor league stadiums in RTTS still kind of look like ass, especially the backgrounds (dat bridge and cars LOL oh god). The lighting is also pretty good, especially in replay mode. Definitely worth the upgrade IMO. But as other people mentioned - online is still totally broken

No big deal about the online, the only online sports game I play is FUT, and sometimes I cry when I do that so...

I figured I'd give this game a shot, so I bought the digital version, downloaded it, installed it (or at least I thought I did), fired it up and I can't play the damn game because it's still installing?!?!?! What in the hell is this goddamn BS?! It's been almost 4 hours and I'm at 34%!

I can tell you're bored and anxious. Otherwise, silly post. No, not being mean but, ya.. it takes a long time to install all the stuff, but once it gets going, you never install again and man..this game is amazing. AMAZING.

I told my buddy yesterday while we played online...i only hope Sony San Diego never gets complacent like EA Sports did.

And you guys didn't get disconnected?

It's a miracle.

I would argue Sony San Diego has been complacent...for quite a while. Either that, or they're inept.

Don't get me wrong I love this game. But you ask anybody who participated in the GAF online league, they love the game too, but the online portion of the game has been a joke for years and years...drove half of the league away, and the other half has slaved through to the end of the season with disconnect after disconnect, starting games to pray that they will actually finish.

Yes, I was bored. It was Sunday, it was raining outside and I had worked all day so I just felt like chilling and try this game out, but couldn't. This morning when I left for work it was at 80%!

Glad to hear it might be worth it though, but I'm Swedish so I'm not too familiar with baseball to be honest, lol.

So I jus tsearched MLB, titles only, and saw about 983843 threads.


I'm not sure which one will give me the best response.

I just have one simple question.

Is there anyway to see how many hours I've spent with the game on ps4?

 

[friz898]

Edit: When Posted, realized, I asked the exact same question 3 days ago.



Regardless, I guess the answer is no on hours played?

I don't think this game has an activity log that stores hours played just the last games played and tendencies.

 

[friz898]

Edit

Also, does somebody have a link to a chart to what all the tiny icons mean? Some are obvious like a player being hot or an all-star or top 50..but I have been searching for this kind of list since mlb '12.
