What I eventually hope to hear, is a 2k like broadcast, to the point where you can close your eyes, just like you could do with 2k, and find it very hard to tell you're listening to a video game.

I hope you're right but looking at those stale (ya that's right I used the word STALE) player models, my hope is fading quick.

Re: More MLB 15 The Show Details Revealed - New Radio Show, Improved Load Times & Mor

Only a couple of things really bug me in franchise, in 2019 here were the few oddities that stood out for me:

CPU "hoarding" of SP's - multiple teams had an excess of SP's at the major league level, 7,8, sometimes even 9. The root cause seemed to be the cpu logic prioritizing the best 25 players OVR in spite of position. Based on the way the OVR formula was retooled last year, relievers kinda got shafted and the bulk of them fall in the 70-80 range.

the hoarding thing segues perfectly into the next topic: The lack of dynamic position switching. It would be cool if the cpu could convert some of those extra SP's into relievers, or have some kind of dynamic ratings adjustment like lowering stamina, increasing velocity, etc. Same thing could be applied to position players


Finally and most importantly (IMO) is expanded rosters. I don't care if I have to do more work on OSFM, I needs another level dammnit

Seriously though, I feel like the levels are too cramped and I would also like to tie lowering the minimum age into the level thing since I can count the number of players under 20 on one hand for a few teams. It would also be nice to have international signings completely separate from the rule 4 draft, and to also make the undrafted college seniors either go to the FA pool or just go away completely lol.

So to summarize:

More levels/players (the new level doesn't even have to playable)
Better roster construction logic
Dynamic position switching
Separate international signing period and therefore younger players


Other than that franchise mode was ace for me, most fun I've had since '09

I say "immersion" is the most overused.

Nope it's definitely 'broken'...if you read the 2K forum that word is used to describe every little thing that is wrong with the game.

off topic:
Maybe not "Most Overused" but I could live the rest of my life & be happy to never hear "Comeback Code" again.
on topic:
I'll grant load times were looong but it didn't annoy me. But I won't complain if they're shortened

- Licensed Equipment ... really not that important to me.
- Year-to-Year Saves ... likely will never use it.
- Universal Rewards ... another never use topic.
- Legends ... somewhat interesting, though I would rather see teams, not individual players.
- Major Graphical Improvements ... interested to see what this means.
- Radio Show ... might be interesting for a few games, but fear it would be repetitive.

MLB The Show is a great game and I am sure the 2015 iteration will continue this trend. Most of these advertised features mean little to me. If it wasn't for the rumored "Major Graphical Improvements", I could easily see myself skipping the game this year. However I will eagerly sit on the fence waiting for some new videos from SCEA to surface. If these graphical improvements are "major", picking up MLB 15 will likely be worth it.

PS: disappointed in the March 31st release date. But what can you do.

No Sr. know one outside of Scott Rohde, Shane Layden or Shu tells us what to do. We control the release of our content. Originally we didn't want to announce a single feature at PSX. Just show the teaser and maybe the release date. We figured most like minded individuals would realize it's early and it's just a tease.

PSX was a big platform for us as we've never been involved that much in any giant conference. Countless people walked up to me and said the teaser got them interested in a baseball game. So it was a win for our small team. OS at some point will realize the dynamics of these things............or maybe not lol.
