MVP Baseball 15 Patch 2 Thread

Consider this almost in the same vein as a developer diary, sort of.

Some more changes going on with Patch 2:

Datafile changes: Among more changes includes a datafile that is currently a work in progress which includes a lot of major changes. As some of you know, the datafile is a text file within the game that maintains game-altering values for things such as: 

  • Hit trajectories
  • Ball physics
  • Bat physics
  • Animation speeds/Throw speeds
  • Reaction times for players on the field
  • Camera angles for both on-field, presentation and end of inning transitions
  • CPU logic and comeback logic (known in the datafile as momentum)
  • Timing windows for ball/bat contact
  • Audio volumes for crowd noise depending on situations
  • Pitch meter difficulty
  • Player lighting (although these values are now left up to the individual stadiums)

The initial goal with the datafile is to present a refined, stronger challenge for current/old players as well as a fun experience for new/long time players with minimal adjustments via sliders.

As its' an ongoing work in progress to perfect this file, things are always being tweaked, tested, and tweaked some more.

A recent change that was designed to affect the "feel" of the game has been to change each camera's FOV (field of view) to a value of 90. This widens the camera and lets the player view exactly how vast and wide the field is for each player.

Camera changes: As stated before, the FOV being changed to a value of 90 widens the camera, so here we have the three fielding views that have found this change beneficial.

Zoom

Here is the Zoom view. As you can see, it widens the camera view so the field seems much bigger and should help with the ball physics/trajectory/fielder speeds. This is a triple that was hit by George Springer.

 

Broadcast

Here is the Broadcast view, which is a beautiful camera that gives you a broad view of the field from say....a pressbox seat. I should rename it Press Box in the LOC file. This is Chris Carter lining out to the right fielder.

 

Aerial

Here is the view for the Aerial cam. Keep in mind that because of the FOV tweak, the camera will follow the hit vector (known to fans of the game as the ball trail, even if it's disabled) which makes following the hits much easier in this view. This is going to be a double by George Springer.

Until tomorrow, my friends!

Hi. Rangers CF Leonys Martin has wrong age. He's born in 1988 not in 1977.

you have to do that with the fact the game is set in the year 05 and not 2015.  the modders know of this age thing

Well, i'm using schedule updater to change game year to 2015 and all other player age are correct. As far as i've noticed. Just Martin has 38 instead of 27.
