I didn't get into The Show until 15 on PS4. I tried in the past but my eyes were never good enough for the PS3 quality (I played 2K12 on PC for a while due to this, actually) although I always wanted to because of the realism and SOTS.

That being said I never got into SOTS, I delved into the equivalent on NHL13 quite a bit though.

So my question is, if someone downloads one of the fantastic SOTS sets from OS, how easy is it to import into a roster? Is the process time consuming, to the point of having to go in and mark start points for every sound file and place them on every player/team? Can this be set by the SOTS maker to maximize efficiency? I won't complain if that's the case, just curious how smooth the process is.

Any information would be fantastic, I'm extremely excited for the feature and will no doubt spend alot of time tweaking my experience for the most possible immersion. Loving the direction 16 is going in!

Has PBR been turned on in any of the builds we were watching?

It feels to me like the game looks crisper? Maybe that's just because I hadn't played it since Atlanta turned sour last year.

I've been playing The Show 13 the past 2 days, and i've been downloading SOTS sets from here, and it's not very time consuming.

After you download the set, you just gotta put the team folder on a usb, and connect the usb to your ps3 (now ps4), and copy the files, thats takes hardly any time.

You do however have to go into the music editor and set mark points for every sound file, as there are 3 separate sounds in each piece, for example one sound file would have (team win/team loss/strike out), or three different batter walk up songs, for example (Bautista/Tulo/Donaldson). So you have to set three different mark points for each.

And then yeah, you do have to place them on each player and team yourself. Ultimately it's not too bad, and it's definitely worth the time.

I just did one team, took about 25 minutes for the whole thing.

# 244 einjzmolf @ 02/12/16 10:51 PM

Awesome, I figured as such. You're absolutely right, it's totally worth the time, especially considering how much time was put into getting the sounds right by the creators. Gotta respect that

Thanks for the answer, Factzzz!

Ok so we have seen 3 different scorebugs being used in these streams so far. Someone said perhaps all 3 will be in the game and it switches based on how the scorebug reflects the real life broadcast for each team. Now I guess that's possible but how would the CPU decide to use the Home or Away teams scorebug? Or perhaps Sony knows some of us are very picky when it comes to these little things like the scorebug

and they are giving us a choice for the first time to pick from different scorebugs in the settings? Why I think we are seeing different scorebugs is becasue the game is still a WIP and Sony has not decided yet which scorebug they are going to go with. Personally I think all 3 look pretty good however I am really liking the latest one which is much smaller and compact but still has all the info we need. So If we are only going to have 1 scorebug then I would go with the smaller compact one. But I kind of like the red dots for outs which is missing from the new compact scorebug. I mean I guess showing "1 out" instead of red dots is fine but I would not mind seeing what the compact scorebug with red dots for outs look like.

Also for MLB The Show 17 and the future I would like to see the pitchers and batters name added to the scorebug like in this screenshot from a real baseball broadcast.

It could be because:

1. Its still a WIP and they haven't selected one
2. It's part of the new Hybrid Presentation
3. It's team/stadium specific
4. We may have an option to select

I'm leaning toward #2 or #3 being the reason

# 247 Speedy @ 02/13/16 12:32 PM

I could see them giving options for different scorebugs. I like #2 (HOU one) personally.

Around 1:15:08 into the stream the runner on first base is steeling and you hear someone yell "Runner he's going he's going"

Is that new and who is yelling it a Coach, Player or fan?

Also I think I hear umpires yelling things as well. I don't remember hearing to much of this kind of stuff in 15 or early versions of MLB The Show.

That along with the new improved bat on ball sounds is awesome!

Should come from the first baseman.

Strange on the MLB The Show Facebook page it says collect 'em all.

Why would we have to collect umpires?

# 251 tnixen @ 02/13/16 01:38 PM

I guess no ball girls this year

lol

I don't know, but I'd guess you can field umps in DD just like players, and therefore you'd have to collect their cards. It'd be a cool way to add that home field advantage feel to a game, since the ump would follow your personal preference, but without a measurable advantage.

Did they say they were not in? I don't remember hearing that.

Loved seeing the catcher nail polish. Nice little touch

What I'm hoping for is maybe you have a different one for like a Saturday game of the week, and the Sunday night game. For example if you're the Saturday game of the week, they'd have a FOX style presentation, making the score bug different, same for the Sunday night game and an ESPN style one. Then you have your normal team score bug for every other game. Probably not right but it would be great to have different style presentations for certain games.

One 'little thing" that bothers me, is the fact that they get players' follow throughs wrong way too often (one hand/two hand follow through).

Like Altuve's new stance, looks good, but then he follows through with one hand, when he basically always follows through with two hands. Last year, guys like Joey Votto and Buster Posey followed through with one hand instead of two hands. These are just a few examples of the top of my head. But these guys notoriously follow through with 2 hands. SCEA even has their signature home runs with 2 handed follow throughs, so they must know.

And what makes it worse is the fact that if you change their follow through to two hands in the editor, it automatically changes their stride, so you'd lose Posey's leg kick for example.

Schwarber and Correa's stances also should've had 2 handed follow throughs

Ya, those little Stance quirks absolutely kill me.

I find a stance I really, really love. But then when I change the follow-through from 2H to 1H, the stride has completely changed, along with the practice swing. And neither can be restored while using the different follow-through.

I have had this problem for years now.

I probably wouldn't mind very much, but the default practice swings look absolutely awful with certain stances, and the animations don't blend well, resulting in tons of foot sliding.

Yeah i don't know why they'd tie the follow through to the stride last year.

After the first 2 or 3 years, when it didn't work that way, it was fine.

It's marketing art meant to be a little quirky and funny.

# 260 ShaiLeGran @ 02/13/16 04:25 PM

Talking about the little things; I wish they would juice and pimp up the tune before the game and during innings. I know they wanna build a brand, but they could at least make it sound fresh again, while still maintaining the overall melody.
