▷ (Video) MLB The Show 19

00:02

Hello, everyone.

00:03

Ramone Russell here to
break down the MLB The Show 19

00:06

gameplay trailer we just
released a few days ago.

00:12

Shout out and major
thanks to artist, Tobe Nwigwe.

00:15

He created this song
specifically for the long-form

00:18

version of our trailer.

00:20

We had to tip our cap
to the Boston Red Sox

00:22

since they won
the world series last year.

00:24

Did you-all catch the highlight
on the 2018 World Series flag?

00:29

If you guessed that the first
set of teaser scenes all came

00:31

from Road to the Show,
you would be correct.

00:34

Game designer Steve
Merka, Ross Houston,

00:37

Chris Muriel, and Jared Ono have
all been working tirelessly on

00:41

the mode, and we can't
wait to tell you more about

00:43

all the new
features later on in February.

00:46

So, back to the teaser footage.

00:47

The first shot is our new bus.

00:49

We also have a new plane as well
that you'll also be riding on in

00:52

Road to the Show this year.

00:53

The bedroom shot is
where you'll be creating

00:55

your Road to the
Show character from scratch.

00:58

Also, archetypes have
been retooled this year.

01:00

Another new edition
to Road to the Show

01:03

is personality
growth and relationships.

01:05

They will now play a key role
in your experience this year.

01:09

We've also added
playable training.

01:11

And the last tease is an all-new
in-game feature for the mode.

01:15

More on these and other
changes to Road to the Show

01:17

in the coming weeks.

01:19

The first new legend we revealed
is Hall of Fame pitcher,

01:22

Christy Mathewson.

01:24

Here in this scene, we
see Tony Gwynn twice.

01:27

Did anyone catch the reveal?

01:28

That's actually two
completely different versions

01:31

of Tony Gwynn.

01:32

One player model is from
earlier in his career;

01:34

and the other one is
from a different time.

01:37

If you assumed these cards would
have different attributes as

01:40

well, you would be correct.

01:42

We are now in our third year of
adding more player emotion

01:45

into the series.

01:47

And big shout out to
our creative editor, Louis.

01:49

Notice how well the sync
work cuts to the music

01:52

and Puig's jubilation.

01:54

When Anthony Rizzo first
starts his follow through here,

01:57

it looks like he hit a
home run, but he didn't.

02:00

It's a pop-up during a
key moment in the game,

02:03

and you can see his disgust
as he slams the bat down.

02:06

We didn't just add more
positive emotional scenes,

02:08

we added some
negative ones as well.

02:11

Gameplay director, Chris Gill,

02:13

put a major focus
on defense this year.

02:15

The goal was to make
fielders more efficient

02:18

with vastly improved
situational awareness.

02:21

These new gameplay editions and
others are at the forefront

02:25

of our defensive features suite.

02:27

On this double play,

02:28

the path to the ball is taking
Cory directly to the bag.

02:32

So instead of him throwing
the ball to the shortstop,

02:34

it's more efficient and faster
for him to get this out himself

02:38

then throw the
runner out at first base.

02:41

Next up, we have current
day Andrew McCutchen and a

02:45

completely different version
of Andrew from his days in

02:47

Pittsburgh, dreadlocks included.

02:50

Staying on the
defensive side of the ball,

02:52

we're seeing a bad jump here.

02:54

In The Show 19, the very best
defensive players in the game

02:57

won't get bad jumps.

02:59

However, for players that
aren't that great on defense,

03:01

this will happen to them a lot

03:03

because it's tied to their
fielding ability attribute.

03:06

The higher the
fielding ability attribute,

03:09

the lower the chance of a
bad jump animation triggering

03:11

and vice versa.

03:13

The next improvement we're
showcasing on defense is all

03:16

about situational awareness
2.0 and player efficiency.

03:21

During the play, the user on
offense is sending the guy home

03:24

from third base trying
to score a cheap run.

03:26

In MLB The Show 19 we now have
branching animations for every

03:30

single tag in the game,

03:32

which is what you are
seeing happen in this play.

03:35

Swanson notices the runner
taking off for home late,

03:37

so he tags the runner
out at second,

03:40

then immediately branches to a
throw home getting both outs.

03:45

Here we see one of the new
umpire animations in the game.

03:48

With so much focus
on defense this year,

03:51

we had to include a shot of
arguably the best defensive

03:55

player in all of baseball,
Matt Chapman,

03:58

flashing the leather
at third base.

04:00

Players like him will be
more valuable than ever

04:02

in MLB The Show 19.

04:05

Nolan Arenado smokes this
ball down the third-base line.

04:08

You can expect to see
even greater hit variety

04:11

in The Show this year.

04:13

Here's another
new legend reveal, Ty Cobb.

04:16

Relive history by playing
with over 130 legends

04:20

in MLB The Show 19 this year.

04:22

Three-time all star,
Jason Kendall,

04:24

also joins the Legends roster.

04:26

During development,
we motion captured

04:29

all-new double play
turns, catches, and throws.

04:32

Another new legend
tease, Rob Dibble.

04:35

Our presentation team
recorded even more

04:38

player, outfield, and
dugout celebrations.

04:41

There's another big
gameplay reveal in this section.

04:45

All errors can now
branch to error reactions

04:47

to pick the ball up.

04:49

Players are way more efficient
after they knock the ball down

04:53

in picking it up and
trying to get the out.

04:56

Even though this
ball eats Max Muncy up,

04:58

he knocks it down, then branches
to a fielding error reaction,

05:02

and he's able to get
the ball to the pitcher,

05:04

covering first for the out.

05:07

You might have guessed it,

05:08

we're definitely teasing
something pretty big here

05:10

in the Babe Ruth
and tier select screen,

05:13

but we'll talk about
that more in a few weeks.

05:15

What you're seeing here

05:16

is a brand-new pack type
called Choice packs.

05:19

We'll talk about that more

05:20

during the
Diamond Dynasty stream.

05:22

In MLB The Show 19, we have
the ability to make all types

05:26

of conquest maps now.

05:28

More on this feature
in the coming weeks.

05:31

The final
reveal of the trailer...

05:34

So how many of you
guessed who this was

05:36

before the camera
tilted upwards?

05:40

Two-time MVP,
Rookie of the Year,

05:42

the list goes on and
on, the one and only

05:46

Willie Mays joins
our Legends roster.

05:50

That's it for the
rewind trailer.

05:52

We really hope
everyone enjoyed it.
