How cool would it be if we could create our own fan signs in the future.

I'm sure it's not as cut and dry as a losing streak. Losing 10 in a row by one run or getting blown out in 10 games is completely different.

To me, dynamic wouldn't be a static evaluation process. It could start as an at bat per at bat evaluation, then game by game, then 10 games, etc. As it starts to learn your skill level it shouldn't have to evaluate your skill quite so often.

At the same time, to see your skill progression or degeneration it would also need to evaluate big chunks of games to spot an overall trend.

This is a very, VERY minor thing, but I want my curiosity satisfied, since I said it in the name list last year.

Is the first name Sadaharu in the game? We already have the surname Oh...

Okay. Thanks for the answer and go Pens!!!!!

If this is the wrong thread I apologize, but will all the recent signings in arbitration and recent extensions (a la' Braves) make it into the game?

I read through the comments and I didn't see an answer to a few of my questions. I love the new additions but was wondering.

1. Will they have stat tracking that will keep over multiple seasons? High Heat Baseball back in 2002 had this for PS2. It was setup just like a baseball card and it was helpful to be able to track your minor league players seasons by seating their stats layer out each year. Also for MLB guys as well. Currently I write it all into an excel spreadsheet but I would love not to do that anymore.

2. Anything about records. I know they have a small page of the records but was hoping to see an expanded list of say top 20 in each category and even team records. Baseball is all about its history and would be great to see our players chase records and see where the stack up thoughout the history their team and/or league.

Thanks

1. On the fact sheet: More player stats stored for every season (Online Franchise)

Sadly we don't know if this will be in the normal offline franchise as a few devs have said they are unsure if the listed features for online will make it into the offline mode. I honestly can't see it not being there, but them specifically saying online fanchise has me a bit worried.

Dynamic Difficulty (All platforms) - Baseball is a sport the dedicated love to master, but also one that can intimidate newcomers. In this year’s version of The Show, players who don’t feel like veterans yet can opt to start on a lower difficulty level and jump right in. An advanced logic system will then grade the user’s skill and adjust the challenge level up or down based on their overall performance. Batting and pitching are evaluated separately, so it’s possible for one to increase in difficulty while the other doesn’t, or even reduces. On-screen notifications will advise when the difficulty setting has been adjusted.

Was this in previous years? I'm coming from XBOX/2K and have never played the show. I remember Madden had something like this but it didn't work at all. How well does this work for The Show? I spend so much time tweaking sliders that I don't get to enjoy the game as much as I should. If this worked well it would be a godsend.
