They would be in line with the other graphical improvements to the game. Hopefully the inclusion of retractable roofs will be announced soon. Their absence for another year would be completely unacceptable.

I have no idea if roofs will be included but it seems early to panic. SCEA have only announced a handful of things officially. All this stuff we just learned about human IK engine, new tag system and revamped franchise was leaked by target. So at this point SCEA really isn't making any announcements. We'll hear a lot more in January and February. After that I'm sure we'll know the status of retractable roofs.

You'll have to time it right, but the tag will go straight down to wherever the guy is sliding. Otherwise, hold down the tag to keep your glove down, but you'll have to manually swivel left or right to get somebody hook sliding. I did not have a system in place for tagging somebody in a rundown.

You think the tag system is user inputted? I was thinking of it as a cleaned up system that automatically applied the appropriate types of tags depending on the situation.

All of this information definitely has me excited for MLB '15. It definitely needs improvements over what felt like, to me anyway, a port of MLB '14 from PS3 to PS4 with more polished graphics.

I don't understand this. If MLB the Show 15 turns out to be the best they have to offer at this point ( better than all previous editions) then how could a open/closed roof make you pass? I think it would be cool if Rogers Center could close but a make or break?

I just dont understand it really.

That could never be a deal breaker for me, mostly because I love baseball too much, but the biggest reason is I can't see if its closed or not!

I agree. What would make it a "pass" for me is if it looked like a port of the PS3 version. I doubt that is the case though and it will look beautiful.

I really hope the new IK engine and animations effect the pitching deliveries. A lot of the deliveries look fake and video-game-ish (yes, I know it's a game).

But realistic follow-throughs and just better-overall motion capture of animations would make the game a lot more realistic. And best of all, there's probably still time to accomplish this.
