Exactly. We still have over 12 weeks until this game drops. I'm 99.9% sure that they haven't announced everything that will be in the game already.

I hope Jeter is a legend so I can use him still in some form. : (

My favorite news so far is that it's still being released on the Vita. Even if it's just a roster update... good for them!

That sales not picking up solely due to "legends" might be true, but it really is a sad line of thinking if you think about it... that we (as fans of the sport or consumers or whatever) accept that simply celebrating the history of the game needs to take so much money to the extent that it prevents a game like this one to really just promote what has been said is a sport of declining popularity (despite its financial success... )

Few developers even bother to make baseball games any more, and people in MLB has been making the sport less and less accessible to those who don't throw in money..... what good does that do to the popularity of the sport itself over the long term???

But at the same time, the game probably in general won't sell as well if it dissociate itself from MLB; it's not hard imagine many people are buying the game because it's MLB and not because it's baseball.

I'm sorry but if that's true then that is horrible marketing. Why would you not want your first trailer for the new game to come out with a bang? This is already leaving a bad taste in most peoples mouths from all that I've read on OS.

and history tells us, especially on OS, that the majority of the things OS cares about, the hardcore stuff, typically don't end up on the back of the box. Typically Ramone will release the hardcore fact sheet for OS.

And I would say the first trailer did come out with a bang, especially for the casual fan. Legends, Diamond Dynasty changes, licensed accessories, and year to year transferable saves.

I guarantee you the 4 things mentioned above aren't the only things that were changed in the Show. We still have over 12 weeks until the game releases.

Agreed, but for all the people hoping graphics had changed were all disappointed. Some are implying that they are holding back on graphics and such for future trailers which doesn't make sense to me, especially when this is this first taste of 15 that we all get.
