They added the one thing 2K did brilliantly -- the camera follows the ball off the bat instead of the awkward cut scene ... Yes! Yes! Yes! It looks soooooo pretty.

Yes but it will not be for all cameras.

Russell said it's for the new new Dynamic offense camera. There is also a new dynamic defense camera he says.

No you only sound like a b-hole.

True, I'm just glad to see it incorporated when the at-bat is taken from the "behind the plate" views. What a thing of beauty.

Do you not like the PS3 version?

I don't wanna sound greedy here... But when can we realistically expect gameplay vids of the ps4 version? A month? Two months?

No one knows for sure, but If I had to guess realistically.........................Sometime in Feb. (probably Mid to late Feb) I would think we would see some PS4 vids. I could be wrong though.

Online franchise is a nice addition assuming the game plays smooth enough online for it to be enjoybale. I didn't play online enough to be able to give an opinion.. What did you guys think about the online performance of 13?

bugs and glitches, league scheduling was definitely a step back from 12

From what I could see, it looks like they fixed the OF throws. No longer are they throwing alley oops, but actual frozen ropes.

I hope that the external stadium graphics are at a higher quality than PS1 graphics on the PS4 version.

Also, lighting on the PS4 version needs a major upgrade.

The way you word this leads me to believe you think it's all the behind the plate views getting this treatment. I think it's only one specific camera having this treatment.

It's the same transition no matter what batting camera you use. It's not tied to the batting at all. It's all tied to the "In-Play View Offense" when set to Dynamic which is now the default.

Dynamic view must be very good if it's now the default

Awesome if true

It's a little hard to make effusive judgements one way or another with just a few grainy videos from what is likely an old build. Hopefully, we get some official footage soon.

Personally I'm looking to see if the new baserunning system has improved the "rounding bases" issue. Also, if ball physics on grounders hit down the line are more realistic. Those, along with the new timing window which I understand isn't going away, were my main issues from the previous game.

# 220 VinceJulien14 @ 01/27/14 02:46 PM

What concerns me is they've already stated that they maxed out the ps3 console, but previous posts suggest that both versions of the games will be the same( other then graphics) .so does that mean the only thing really getting improved is graphics ? Are they using the ps4 to it's full potential?

I could be way of base here haha but just a thought that came to mind
