I'd have to say with the late release last year because of the new console development, they're slightly late in 15's development (they'll catch up obviously, but late start). So I think it's safe to say that the trailer isn't anywhere near what the final product is going to be like.

I just can't wait till we get some offline Franchise news! That is all I'm anxious for!

Forgive me if I win the stupid question of the day award with this one, but with the carryover from one year to the next, I am assuming that the season does not need to be complete to carry it over to '15?

From everything I can gather, correct.

Ramone confirmed on the ps nation podcast that sounds of the show will not be in MLB 15 ps4. Strongly implied that we'll see Louisville slugger and Rawlings in the game. Ramone said they were able to get most of the big companies in baseball.

I'm not sure why it would have to be complete but some are cautiously optimistic and are still waiting for confirmation.

Found it.

EDIT: I'm saddened I didn't rethink about the fact that this is also why I haven't much liked VC's MLB 2K series before they kicked the bucket. Everything about it was a passable, playable, and enjoyable game except for its hitting engine. Laggy input control, iffy check swing system, and directional hitting. The swing stick made you choose between power and contact. The Show has the same discrepancy, but at least they also offer a "normal" swing as the standard.

In 2K, the power swing FB:GB ratio was too high and home runs were few and far between with contact. You also couldn't get away with it unless you chose the swing stick. Classic swing was one-button swinging, but they chose for you on each pitch what kind of swing they would use, so sliders didn't fix this. The directional hitting didn't help much the same, either.

All that said, I did own 2K10 and 2K13 and wanted to enjoy both of them, but I doubt I've even played more than ten full games on either one. It's sad, because the hitting model causes issues with FB/GB stuff IMO. I just hope whatever SCEA is doing, they thought long and hard about the repercussions of using the control in a certain way and not at all at the same time. I also hope Zone hitting remains, otherwise it might fall in exactly where 2K and MVP were.

Has anyone heard if they are bringing back the player lock feature for MLB 15 The Show?
