Presentation Feedback
-
The presentation in the game seems off. Its out of rhythm when in broadcast mode. For example:
-
Long pauses from commentary crew, and they are so long its awkward.
-
The replay/highlight system has weird angles of the player hitting the ball in slow-mo however never showing the ball in the field or weirdly holding the batter focused view too long. It doesn't match what you see in an actual MLB game on television.
-
Crowd atmosphere and reactions seem delayed or off. Levels in the stadium rise or fall too quickly. Seems like in pressure situations the crowd isn't as amped as they should.
-
The celebrations and player likeness is not there. They all seem very repetitive and not exciting. The emotion is expressed poorly.
-
A big part of the game is how it make you feel in important situations, like saves, walk-offs, comebacks, and those feeling uniquely intense. Scoring a game changing run in the 8th inning should feel different than the 3rd inning. However players react the same in both situations. The gameplay feels good except for the weird swing delay in some modes compared to others. The presentation is subpar and would be the reason why I would strongly discourage my friends and followers from buying this title.
If this can be cleaned up and polished with lots of variety, it will make the game more appealing.
