Don't want to infer too much, but Ramone liking this original post is promising. I also like 2 sessions dedicated to franchise mode. Hopefully one of them is to show us an extremely elaborate, but intuitive and slick to navigate, world of stat tracking. Keep pounding.

I realize it's probably an option, but I don't like the idea of my friends all having different types of RTTS player results than me because they used cheats when they played. This is supposed to be the most realistic baseball game ever, so way add a gigantic arcade component? Would have preferred if they FINALLY would have added a story/personal aspect to RTTS like EVERY OTHER sports game has where your created player feels like a real person in that world when you have an agent, answer media questions, have scenarios to deal with in between games, have a cool backstory for your guy. RTTS deeply lacks of-the-field fun.

To me it looks like these perks are throttled so you can't go into beast mode. I also think it may attract potential players to the mode because they can relate to a type of model that is being used in other games. It seems more intuitive than just throwing tons of stubs to get x amount of boost. SCEA is very conscious of keeping the integrity of the sport intact when introducing elements into the game.

As far as story mode, I am not sure baseball has that behind the scene backstory appeal like basketball and football have. Also, I find those storylines terribly scripted and pretty lackluster.

Can't wait!!

I have no interest in RTTS so it's a long wait till March for me.

Looks the same as '15, as '14, '13 etc however i will reserve judgment until the live streams begin.

Hoping there's been plenty of work on franchise mode.

I really, really love the ability to just keep playing instead of having to go to the menu after each game played in RttS. That is awesome.
