MLB The Show 24 Gameplay Improvements and Trailer Revealed

[invincible]

I can't believe people are actually touting hair physics.
They added 400 animations (which they claim every single year yet I still see the exact same animations for years).
They flipped lefty pinpoint pitching gestures.
And they refined gameplay.
Yet the trailer shows info we've already known and seen.

Their entire gameplay explanation could've been summed up by saying, "we changed very little because we know our gameplay is good so we focused on negro leagues and storylines and allowed hair to move, so please buy our game because we do this for you."

Wow this really felt like I was just reading some patch notes. Don’t get me wrong I already love where the gameplay was at last year but I’m really starting to question what exactly they were working on this year. Really hoping for some big improvements to franchise and presentation in the coming weeks but I’m not holding my breath. But with the information we have as of now it’s absolutely insane that SDS thinks they can charge us $70 for these marginal improvements. It’s so disappointing that this is what’s become of this franchise.

Truth to that. At times in the past I’ve really not been impressed, esp. with the marketing. But, until you actually see the game at home is a big difference. I’m still seeing new animations in 23 I hadn’t seen earlier in my franchise.

11 months after MLBTS23 released, I was still thoroughly enjoying how the game played on the field. Which some may say is the most important part of a baseball sim video game.

If they announced a slew of new on-field mechanics, there'd be a ton of speculation on how that'd affect an already excellent part of the game.

I'm content with refined animations and re-worked Pinpoint

Hair thing is nice but 90% of the video is showing storyline guys again. I mean pushing hard much?

That 6-3-2 (tag) double play was a thing of beauty!

I mean I wouldn't really say they are "touting" the hair physics. They didn't even mention it in the blog (unless I just missed it). It was just noticeable in the trailer. It doesn't seem like they are hyping it as some huge improvement
