Would love to see all the Spring training parks in the game. If its a license issue then just make all fake Spring training parks then.


Been a lot of good recommendations about revamped Spring Training, and all of them have been good. Hopefully its something SCEA looks into doing. They typically are very good at listening and trying to get what people want to see, so Im sure they will at some point redo Spring Training.

you should know by now the rule of the day when it comes to this franchise, the only change they'll be making to spring training mode is scrapping it altogether. otherwise it's pointless to expect them to actually work on it.

Spring Training has had the same issue since I began playing this game at 16, i'm 21 now and as of 2014 they made it even worse, by not programming the cpu to even make substitutions at all. They haven't even thought about fixing/improving it. I even own MLB 06 and I'm sure the AI is the same there if I bothered to look. No other sports title I play even has this issue with their preseasons, NHL, FIFA, Madden, NBA from all that I know all resemble some form of preseason and some games are more effective than others. Spring Training is too important a stage of the season for some teams/players to be (now fully) neglected. As I mentioned, they've for some reason decided to dumb it down even further on next gen. It shouldn't even take a forum of people to raise this issue, you would think it's gotten addressed already.

Rule of the day = If it's not important or popular enough (in their opinion) they'll remove it or ease it out from the game completely.

do you play spring training, anyone who does has a reason to be miserable at times. but more to my point, this franchise has been making a series of "neglectful" decisions over the last couple of years. My criticism is warranted, not sour grapes, even though I know its daring to critique this franchise because it's easy to get blinded with what things they do provide.

Ummm that's bull****. The devs have they have already fixed this issue for 15.

Good for you then, by fixing do you mean restoring us with the same broken system spring training has been since the franchise launched? Or was there some reasonable overhaul made to give us a reasonable ST experience for the first time.

Here is the full conversation:

So make whatever conclusions you want. But the substitution issue has been fixed in MLB 15.
