Of course, it's early and they haven't really revealed anything, but little things like not being able to argue with umpires and even no tattoos rub me wrong.

I wouldn't look too much in to the nos especially since the answer to some of the questions were pretty obvious. I would at least wait until the fact sheet comes out.

2K16 is why.

The Expos situation didn't have anything to do with why ASB had expansion mode. The Expos relocated, that wasn't expansion. The last time expansion happend was the late 90's with the Rays and Dbacks.

With all of the customization in Diamond Dynasty and Year after year of asking and no expansion mode, starting to feel like a lawyer in Manitowoc County Wisconsin up in here.

I'm a sucker of MLB (the sport) and will get 16, if I were a casual baseball fan like I am of NBA and NHL I'd hold out this year though.
Before someone attacks, no its not too early for someone casual to make that assumption, The Show series is notorious for building in small doses (which is fine) I just wish they either had more resources (number of employees) or were a bit more bold in decisions. The gameplay while not perfect is still top notch its all the other areas surrounding it that feel like they could use a make over.

This is a bit unfair because you're purposefully picking out the things that have not been added to fit a theory rather than vice versa. A more complete accounting would acknowledge the Human IK/improved animations, upgraded material texture, additions to franchise mode (whatever they are...), retractable roofs--plenty of things people have been interested in are actually being added.

This game looks & plays perfectly but the lack of presentation variety always starts to make everything stale after a few months of playing.

I may be alone here, but I played a full 162 with the Marlins and never got tired of the radio show. I'm sure it could be improved, but it beats the nothingness we had last year.

This is what I would have asked about.

A little thing that would actually be quite useful. It would be easier this way as you wouldn't have to memorize TC1, TC2, TC3...

Any word on stat-tracking Ramone? I'd ask on Twitter, but I'm an old fogie who doesn't roll like that. Without spilling the beans too much and too soon, is a WAR stat included this year?

i was curious if the new d-backs uniform made it in

Can't say I'm too thrilled about this exchange...

@MLBTheShow will we be able to use the rosters created from 15 on 16? Or will year-to-year saves be the only way to use those rosters? — Jason Alan Tucker (@jasonalantucker) January 14, 2016 @jasonalantucker The latter — MLB The Show (@MLBTheShow) January 14, 2016 @MLBTheShow is this a possibility for future editions of the game? — Jason Alan Tucker (@jasonalantucker) January 14, 2016 @jasonalantucker Anything's possible, but it's feasibility that's another story — MLB The Show (@MLBTheShow) January 14, 2016

Throws a bit of cold water on '16 as far as I'm concerned.

I'm curious as to why this dampens your excitement? Just having to wait for OSFM again?


On a different note, I completely agree with you about the radio show. I'm in my 3rd season now and still find it quite enjoyable as it's on in the background while I'm checking stats/lineups/minors/etc.

No, it's not the waiting. It's just when you invest 100's of hours in editing a roster, it's tiresome doing it over and over again. I've helped make a hybrid roster 2 years running and it's a lot of work and I'm not sure why SDS keeps making us do over--they certainly know about OSFM. It would be nice if they'd explain to us why roster carryover is not feasible, exactly. Roster carryover would save tons of people here tons of time.
