Pumped about the release date announcement! Not impressed with the trailer or early "feature" reveals. But I think we'll get more info around CES - Holding out hope for a new broadcast team and commentary engine on PS4!

Don't think we're getting new pbp man, not this year, but I do expect a commentary overhaul.

Exactly Showtyme! Lol, one little first trailer won't show us the whole feast! Lets reserve judgement until we get actual gameplay.

This is factual obviously, historically they've always come through. More to the generic point, this is perhaps why more than ever Baseball Gamers need the huge conglomerate that is EA Sports to comeback with MVP. That way there would be far less pressure on SCEA, not saying anything really against them, just they wouldn't be expected to do as much because for most of us on here The show would be one of two games we'd pick up in March.

Couple things I would like to see on MLB 2015 the show. Please let's have a new broadcast crew. It be nice to have the guys from TBS on there and Ron darlin giving in depth pitcher analysis. Please, let's have a more realistic fielding animation as it looks repetitive. Have say a guy like Reyes throw sidearm from behind his ears like a catcher as he normally does. Have players celebrate home runs as they nornally do also with the Reyes like attitudes, encarnacion chicken wing celebration! Challenge plays!! Allow managers to challenge a call. Have more blown calls and wider strike ones for selective umpires. Let's have real umpires please. I'm tired of the potato head looking umpires. A small thing I notice too that I want fixed is the base runner screen. Let's have numbers on the players jerseys when on the base running screens. It he cool to have mc cutch do his steel city celebration after a double! I want to see more animation on call strike three. Have players argue a bit. Give the option to argue a call. Cr wait for 2015!!

I think you are underselling just how much other people have wanted legends. It was one of the most demanded features of them all, at least here, and I think even the general public will really love it. If there's one thing us baseball fans love it's to reminisce and relive history. I'm not saying you have to personally like this feature but I'm positive it will be a popular feature. I agree. It looked great. The Show has had some celebration animations in the past that have looked very awkward and unhuman, bordering on corny. Guys acted like it was their first time ever hitting the baseball every time. But this one looked pretty chill and realistic, it seemed well done.

While I agree with this, it says that it's one legend per team, which kind of kills the point, think of all the Yankees greats or even great players who just retired a few years ago that most of us grew up watching who still won't be able to be in the game since only legend from each team will show up.

Plus the player creation and the roster creators have gotten really good at making a lot of these guys anyway, even though obviously the real legends that Sony makes should have better faces, better animations, better commentary, and hopefully have their real stats involved.

That trailer did nothing for me. At least we know when its coming out. Hope to see a real trailer and more news soon.
