MLB 15 The Show: Sample Season Sim Results and Radio Show (Video)

[RaychelSnr]

For anyone wondering if the simulation engine is up to par in MLB 15: The Show, here are the results of one simulated season and how the engine fared. Also, I simmed two other seasons (not in the video) which all ended up with strikingly different results. In one, the Astros and Brewers actually met in the World Series, with the Astros having the best record in all of baseball! In another, it was a battle of perennial contenders, with the Giants and Tigers facing off in the World Series.

In this particular sim, you can see the Red Sox and Nationals give it a go. The stat I Found most interesting is there wasn't a single 20 game winner in the pitchers, the last time that happened in the majors was 2009 with four players total at 19 wins.

Be sure to look through the league leaders and see if anything stands out to you as being unnatural -- also give the sample 'end of season' Radio Show a listen!

That radio show was pretty anti-climatic.

Look at the ridiculously low pitcher ERAs...

Yeah wow, that was a whole lotta nothing. Fifa world cup game much better with their radio show.

Offensive numbers looks to be a bit higher than 2014, especially the home run totals. I remember some MLB 2014 sims didn't register a single hitter batting over .300. NL runs scored is still a bit on the low side, though it's been painfully close to that in RL the past year.

Having no 20 game winners is a bit unusual though not farfetched at all. At least the strikeouts and ERA seems more in line with more recent RL stats.

I feel like the simmed stats are pretty good, but boy that year end wrap-up radio show was super disappointing. I wish it added more than who won in a "miracle" season.

The boys from Boston were victorious!

I get the feeling I'm going to hear the word "victorious" in my sleep, my dreams, when I wake up... every waking moment. No variety when it comes to that term. Some other phrases would be much appreciated.

Home run totals are insane, especially in the American League. Alex Gordon with 30+ bombs? No way. 50 homer guys should be an absolute rarity, instead we get 3!
