MLB 15 The Show OS Community Impressions

[sink4ever]

I've only played a few innings so far but coming from '14 on the PS3 to '15 on the PS4 . . . wow.

Lighting, graphics, crowds, stadiums, just gorgeous.

Defense feels . . . tighter, for lack of a better word. Definitely an improvement, looking forward to actually playing defense more than ever before. Also appreciate the change to CPU defense as well, had a long fly ball last night that went for a double thanks to the CPU OF's route.

New pitch breaks are great, a very welcome addition.

I had to buy '14 on PS4 to carry over my franchise save, but that's all seemed to work very smoothly so far. There are a fair number of guys missing from the game, hopefully that's something that gets cleared up.

I do have to send a very hearty "darn you to heck!" to all the people who have been clamoring for years for that split second delay after the batter makes contact. It's kind of driving me nuts right now.

Directional hitting is a great addition. Might be a while before I feel the full effect of it, but I love that we have that option now.

I have never seen this before and I played 3 years last year in my franchise, but I simmed a year a head just to mess around and I got offered trades 4 times in the off season. Has anybody seen this before 15?

Hmmm...

10-games in & the camera hasn't followed a foul ball into the stands? I hear that fans will catch foul balls, but I haven't witnessed this?

The pitch...
The swing...
Foul ball leaves the screen...
Announcer "Ball hit down the line & into the crowd"...
Pause, then crowd sound like they're reacting to an incoming souvenir...
AND... Camera hasn't left me during any of this?

I check the reply & the fans gather & stand up to catch the ball, but the replay ends just before the ball reaches their extended arms???

NOT complaining here, I'm loving this title (always do)... maybe this is an attempt to speed games along? Just seems to contradict what I've read & actually seen during the Twitch broadcasts...

And, yes... I'm using "Broadcast" presentation (broadcast offensive & defensive camera views too) & not "fast play"

Am I missing something?

Brother, I have struggled with base running with every baseball video game I've ever played, from RBI Baseball (Nintendo); to Tommy Lasorda & World Series Baseball (Genesis); to MLB on Playstation to now. It is what it is. LOLOL

That said, I LOVE the little symbol with the L-stick with the little arrows. That DOES help me quite a bit!

Still no word on not getting gold loyalty. Tried tweeting at the show and talking to ps chat which they recommended and nothing. Is there anyway or time that we are going to be abe to get this? I know it's small but was looking forward to that

A bit disappointed at the stat depth in Franchise.

Just gives the 2014 stats and then the totals. Anyone know if after the 1st season it keeps track of stats year through year like 2015, 2016, etc..?

I only got to play the royals-giants game so far while the game was installing but during the game I laid down a bunt and got a base hit, i noticed that the fielders were slow while trying to get to the ball so i did it again, and again safe. I got bunt singles like 5 straight at bats.
