I'm an insufferable shitposter who does not deserve to root for such a good team. Also, this is what Matt Harvey thinks of me and my garbage posting.


Releases March 29 for PS3/PS4
NO VITA this year. At all.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTAnNxAVxV8

New...ish features.





Sounds of the Show is back, you can load mp3 files via USB stick and the game will let you use custom walk up music/reliever entrance music and crowd chants for maximum sperging.

There's also some sort of bullet-time system you can do when fielding or hitting (but only once per game when hitting). No idea if it'll be cool or too arcade.

Only things you really need to know is that they mo capped the Jose Bautista playoff HR batflip and put it in the game and that classic stadiums are back this year. The trailer video up above is already out of date as they fixed the Toronto infield to be all dirt now, as it is in real life.

quote:

Classic Stadiums are Shibe Park, Sportsman Park, Forbes Field, Crosley Field, Polo Grounds & Griffith Stadium.

Check out the developer's twitch channel for their streams demoing gameplay and talking about new features if you wanna watch a bunch of nerds sitting on a couch playing video game baseball: http://www.twitch.tv/sonysandiegostudio/profile

Players playing out of natural positions are severely gimped animations wise, which wont impact offline games but will be huge in online and diamond dynasty. No more David Ortiz at SS making diving stops and jump throws.

quote:

6 gigs of space on Hard Drive for SOTS equals 511 songs, 200+ chants or yells
SOTS files MUST be MP3 files.
You can have your own menu soundtrack instead of the one that comes with the game
You can assign music to Players and Teams.
You can edit music in Sounds of the Show to get the clip you want to play
Can sort music in playlist editor by title/track/album
Add music for main menu/in-game
You can Assign music to play at certain moments
You can record custom Chants/Cheers for players.
You can add batter walk up music for every player and Pitcher Entrance music in SOTS

Now that I have this dating robot I can take it easy.
Music changing being back is super good, so is the ability to skip to the next day in RTTS without going back to the menu. I'm gonna buy the special edition and the normal edition so that I get to have two cool pictures of Josh Donaldson.

tbh the custom walk ups are probably going to be the most impactful thing for most players anyways, unless the new swing types are actually worth using over the normal swing

I pre-ordered this just to play online with a friend. It'll be the first baseball videogame I've played since Triple Play something from way back.

I'm pretty excited even though I'm going to have to make my own cover featuring A-Rod or something.

I want cheat codes to come back and I don't know why they stopped putting them in games. This is where I would post the video of Triple Play Baseball, where the players have big heads, super speed, 10 foot long bats, explode whenever they touch each other, and are playing on the moon, but it's no longer on Youtube :(

it does but it's terrible every year due to some random networking bug that doesn't record games, and is laggy as hell every time. we've tried for the last few years to get a goon league going and it just never works.

The secret team in Triple Play was the goddamn best. Gary McKay, the 2 foot tall guy with a flaming bat who could bunt home runs was the best.

The game is good as it is, so even if it was just a roster update plus the mp3 support, that would be enough to make me preorder. That it has additional improvements is just gravy.

I love RTTS, I think it's so stupid and fun being a pitcher and watching poo poo kind of play out. It gives you a good feel for what it's like to really want to work to keep the ball out of play, because strikeouts are all you can control and your fielders are idiots.

Here are some video examples of my dumb teammates.

The correct walk up music is Prince Fielder's with Bryce Harper's a close second.
