I actually agree. Bought 15 on the PS4 because I figured it COULDNT make that much of a difference and this is without question my least played, least favorite of the series and I think its because there isn't the emotional attachment to the players and ballparks that SOS brings. It is WAY cooler to see Arenado come to the plate in the late innings to an ACTUAL tune than that generic crap that shipped on the game. C'mon SONY, get this figured out!

To me, it is scouting. Every team needs to evaluate each prospect differently. Would put more faith in your scouts. I would love for one scout to say he is an ace in waiting while another says he is a number 3 at best.

I feel you guys on this. I have been trying to figured why I am only thru the beginning of May in year one of my franchise. The adding of the brand name equipment was much appreciated! This is still one the best baseball sim they have made. The pitching stills puts you in the game because you can strategized off that. I still believe they are moving in the right direction. They will have to input some infusion into 16'. "Bring that sexy back" sort of speak... I purchased the 10th anniversary copy, so I know I will purchase 16'. God willing...

The show needs to put all the teams a player has played on in player card / (lockeroom) so you could see year to year where a player has played just like they do in other games . They only show 2014 and up not past years that's a big flaw

In road to the show every player on every team bio card starts at 2014 I want to see his past stats from his real rookie year ex : a rod Stat should start 1996 and show Texas and Seattle as his past teams they really need to fix that other sports games don't lack that! !

The radio show is nice, looking forward to see where that goes. Hoping they work Matty V hard to get "tv Matt!" Listening to some of his calls from that Angels 11-10 win last weekend, he's got so much untapped talent.

The things I really want the most for MLB 16 The Show are.

1. Upgraded "in game" presentation with little things (2 Run HR Mike Trot 15th of season) overlay that popup while the batter is rounding the bases and new in between inning batter due up overlays with "2 for 4" type stat next to each of the 3 batters.

2. Completely new upgraded player models that rival NBA2K16.

3. Major upgrade to commentary and crowd atmosphere that rivals MLB 2K13.

4. Many many more pre,in game and post game animations.

5. Much more accurate stadiums including grass and dirt.

6. Lots and lots of gameplay bug fixes and fixing all those instances where you see those slow and awkward animations.

7. Greatly improved CPU AI manager and bullpen logic especially.

8. Less bunting by the CPU especially when the bases are loaded.

9. Improvements to the Ball and Bat boys. More animations are needed perhaps?

10. A lot more Stat tracking including being able to look at a players complete baseball team by team history. Like on the back of a baseball card.

11. Another round of improved Ball Physics.

12. Rosin bag on pitchers mound in real time

That's my top 12 most wants for MLB 16 The Show.

Can't wait to MLB 16 The Show info starts coming out!!!

Probably about 10 weeks or so.

A few things I want to see in MLB 16. Mostly Franchise mode though some of these could be applied to RTTS:

1.) Pitchers pitching on the correct side of the rubber / ability to move a pitcher from the first base to the third base side of the rubber. (This came to mind because of Luke Gregerson.)

2.) Ability to make multi-team trades. Ability to trade more than three players per side.

3.) Some sort of fan reaction (cheering/booing / player saluting the crowd or shaking his head based on reception, etc) when a player who's been traded or left via FA comes back.

4.) I want the CPU to shuffle the rotation in the postseason more. Not sure how they'd change this. I just want to see the CPU using David Price out of the bullpen or starting Clayton Kershaw on 3 days rest.

5.) Player morale/team chemistry. NHL introduced it this season and while it might need some tweaking, I like what it's brought to the game. I'd love to see MLB do something like this.

6.) Ability to send injured players to the minors on rehab assignments.

7.) Ability to use position players to pitch. I don't want to have to use a starter or stick with a reliever for six innings if a game goes long, or my team is getting blown out. I also think it would add a bit of realism/strategy too.

8.) Ability to convert a position player to a pitcher and vice versa.

9.) The return of Sounds of the Show.
