Should always go 1080p if your TV/monitor can support it. The game is in 1080p. It will get you the best quality. Some people may be fine with 1080i. I prefer 720p.

Guys - can you please STOP with the random comments? This thread is reserved for IMPRESSIONS of the game.

Well, once I got it started it was a bit frustrating...all I wanted to do is look around and import my MLB 14 guy and It through me into a game that I couldn't get out of. Any way to skip it so I can move onto what I want to do first?? I will say though it is a gorgeous game...just watching the pre-release streams you can see the detail and in the real game it didn't disappoint.

The game is installing there is nothing else for you to play until it's done.

Ok some quick hits here before I give a detailed impression post.

1. I wanted to change up things for myself as I have been playing with broadcast when the ball is in play on offense. I am trying dynamic out......I am blown away. it's like playing a new game. I still pitch with broadcast though. Will never change that. But now that the ball can be seen off the bat before it goes to the field....awesome. I still may go back to bracts as well....I just love I can change the angle depending on my mood.

2. Directional hitting is amazing.

3. Pitching is more challenging this year no question.

4. The new speed differences are immediate and noticeable and ratings are huge in the dice role more than ever before if your an auto fielder/manual throw like me.

5. Default infield and outfield speed and reaction sliders are playing great thus far.

6. I toned down both error sliders a click for now.....was seeing more than I wanted after several games.

7. Pitch spins and breaks are insane good now. Love it.

8. Catcher Zoom 3......the truth.

AMAZING, SMOOTH, GORGEOUS. NEXT GEN ON AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT LEVEL NOW!!!


The Show 15 on the PS4 is the truth!!!!

Day one impressions....

I hopped on COTW....hit 2 balls and got disconnected from the server.

Then me and the wife watched Mr Selfridge. Who doesn't love Jeremy Piven?

After playing a few more games, this baby is a dang masterpiece.

I knew I'd get used to that extra little delay after the ball is hit. Didn't think it'd happen this quickly.

I was playing with my Cubs at Boston, and I sat back on a duece from Porcello and Kris Bryant yacked it over the Green Monster and just below the sign. It was a thing of beauty.

I pitch AND hit from the outfield cam, which simulates a real broadcast, and when Bryant hit it, the ball's trajectory simulated what it would actually do. The camera then pans back and I watched it fly. Literally jumped out of my seat at it. It was as if it happened in real life.

Like I said earlier, with a patch or two, this game could actually be legendary. Maybe even perfection.

1. Hitting a HR to center field is much harder this year compared to last year. You get a big blast and the ball just dies a foot or 2 from the wall. All my home runs so far have been to right field.

2. I noticed they don't cut to the crowd as often as they did in 14. I'm fine with this really, last year I felt I was seeing the mascot too much every game.

3. Love the new sliding animations.

4. I'm starting to think short stops and second basemen knock down too many balls. Going to play some more games and see if it holds true, but out of 5 games it seem like they knock down or catch ever rocket in their direction.

5. That split screen with the pitcher and batter is awesome. It would nice if they added a split screen of the manager/batter or manager/pitcher as well if the pitcher or batter is performing badly in the game.

6. Double plays seem to happen too easily. They aren't even close. I don't know if it is the base runners running too slow or the infielders getting to the ball too fast. But you get double plays where both runners are still a good 5 feet away from base. To me that just don't look right.

Over all I am impressed with the game.
