Either that or we should have a player on an American team grace the cover in Canada this year. How about Joey Votto? That works since it will keep to the trend over the last two years of having a Canadian on the cover.

I'd take that in good humour.

You guys can have Puig on your cover since we're done with him now.

It's going to be very hard for me to enjoy this game without a wide variety of career stats, I know they are in the game somewhere because you are notified when a player hits a milestone like 200 career steals, it's just a matter of showing them

Thanks, I didn't catch that shot and I played this about ten times... six or so times after you told me this.

I guess you were right when you mentioned the HD video thing, because I didn't see that one.

Looks like I'll be buying this game again /gets PS4

e: to the above, when the roof is open the only part still 'covered' is over the OF seats. All of that stuff is only there if its closed.

But yeah, San Diego Studio really knows how to tease us. I hope they announce details for the conquest mode soon, because I hope our speculation doesn't hype up the mode too much so we are all disappointed later.

Possible classic cards or something as they have Ichiro on the Mariners, A-Rod on the Rangers, and Greinke on Royals cards. They got the "6" sign Donaldson does after every home run. Don't know why they have Rizzo with the slap follow through. Also has a "MVP" edition.

and infielders still throw curveballs.

Lighting looks even better than last year, which says a lot. Super stoked for closed roofs. Was hoping for new player models, oh well.

Ok I'm gonna sound like a huge homer here, but why does SCEA hate Mike Trout? I'm not saying that he should be on the cover or anything, but he hasn't been featured in a single trailer or in game menu in the last 4 years. Obviously I'm biased, but it's just kind of puzzling seeing one of the games best players continually get no love from my favorite baseball game, while pretty much everyone else gets featured. I just don't get it.


Alright, I'll go back to shutting up now.
