Any news about ‘23?
-
About when do we start hearing about who the cover athlete is, what new legends, what changes they’re making to gameplay, etc.?
I have been so frustrated with ‘22 and I want to be excited about this game again.
I hope for Negro League players and/or actually being able to score runs.

22 was definitely a frustrating experience... Batters Timing window = timing slit. You can be very late on 97 and very early on 95. WTF

I usually don't expect much in the way of details until Feb at the earliest. Maybe we get the announcement of a cover athlete but gameplay demos will be shown in various YouTube videos/live streams in Feb/Mar.
That said. Don't get your hopes up too high. My guess is that most things that frustrated you in 22 will also be in 23. If not then there will be new things to frustrate you.

I guess baseball is a frustrating game for most players IRL, unless you hit that lucky streak as some do. I'm ok if SDS doesn't try to make it too real, lol.

They will most likely fix some issues we wanted fixed 4 years ago and add some features nobody asked for. Might even fix co-op, a mode nobody asked for but was introduced regardless. But it never worked. Save your money, play something else until they rebuild this game properly from the ground up.
-
I’ll give you an update, the game will not be good. 21 was bad, 22 was on par with 18 as worst game in the franchise history. So if you think 23 isn’t s going to be something stellar your going to be disappointed

You are always right on brother. My son got me 2K Tiger Woods Golf for Christmas and I’m having a blast. The baseball game is in sad shape.

I actually thought 21 was the best since 17. Not expecting anything earth shattering in 23.

i agree with you completely mate

You have some wanting new '22 content, yet, it's late December.
I'd expect some news when the calendar turns to January.
There is no sure thing for '23 cover athlete. Maybe Judge again? I don't think Julio is that well known yet, but we'll see. -

How does it compare to old EA Tiger games? I loved those.

The game is usually a cut and paste job every year with a few new bells and whistles.
Don't expect the massive overhaul that the hitting interface needs, or more realistic defense.
I think Mini Season was rather boring.
RTTS is pretty laughable at this point.
I buy the game every year because it's the only baseball game in town, and I enjoy H2H gameplay.Competition breeds better products, but monopolies lead to stale, boring, repetitive games.
In other words, this is it.
And it will probably remain so until another video game company does it better. -

You can’t spin the ball like you used to in the old game. It’s new to me and I haven’t played a golf game in a few years so I guess that’s why it is so fun. The wind really comes into play in this game.

I do know this for a fact
It comes out in the spring of 2023

If they fix anything they need to fix the timing on pitches, I don’t understand how I can be early on 96 mph then a pitch later it’s 98 and in the same location and I’m late. That just doesn’t make sense to me. I feel like this is a minor issue and could be easily corrected but what do I know.

Even though he was on the cover after his rookie year Judge could definitely be on the cover again. Set an AL record for HR, AL MVP, and highest profile free agent of the offseason. If you are going to have a repeat cover then he would be a good choice
After him I would say Pujols if he was still playing. I still think he would be a good choice but they usually don't immediately license newly retired players. Of course if you are going to break that rule then Pujols would be a good choice to start with. Kind of shocking he has never been on the cover.
Goldschmidt won the NL MVP but I don't think he is marketable enough outside of Arizona and St Louis. I actually think Arenado would be the better choice from St Louis, but I will not be holding my breath for a STL cover Athlete.
Of course there is always Trout but I have a feeling that they have tried that in the past and that there is some roadblock to that actually happening.

I understood he had an exclusive marketing deal with some mobile game

Yeah it looks like they were doing it during that window until COVID... looking at the calendar and what they've done the last 2 releases we should get official word on 1/30/23 about MLB The Show 23.
I'm hoping we get an early March release (ahead of start of season at end of the month) or at the latest end of March (on Opening Day/Opening Weekend).
