I highly doubt it. You dont have to sim in franchise though?

Those are actually 2 separate upgrades for this year. The lighting engine was definitely improved, then in addition to, the skin tones are now also color matched to the players actual complexion. So no more skin tone 1-7 like it was before. Those changes absolutely make a world of difference!

One of things is not like the others. One of these thing just isn't the same.

I don't get it, 3 years in a season?

You can play multiple seasons in season mode. I think he wants a franchise-ish experience without all of the minor leagues management and whatnot.

To the original question, I'm not sure Clarke99, as I didn't particularly look for it in season mode. Maybe one of the other CD guys, or Ramone can answer.

Apparently i have no games that block some screens right now so i cant test this. I like to take screenshots of some of the loading screens that come up. Things like End of Month stats. Whenever 15 goes into a loading screen you get the notification that game play recording has been stopped. Anyone know if its only the recordings that dont work and you can still take screenshots in those situations?

It's only the recording, you can still take screenshots. Also, that message only pops up because they are actually live streaming from the "PS4" (dev unit).

Oh yeah didnt even think about that. Thanks.

I know some people noticed the speedy sim speeds in MLB 15, and the faster loading times were pointed out in the streams. I don't believe no one has mentioned how snappy the menus are as well (maybe one person on the OS podcast.) They are easily the most responsive/snappy I've seen in a sports game!
