One of my favorite things to see on the list...been wanting something like this for awhile. If implemented correctly, feel like it could add a little more life to my franchises. Can't wait for more info!

There was a link to it in the video.

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.

Pretty much if you stop the video and look at the cost and the attribute minimums you would see all the powerful stuff requires you to have the attribute in the 90's and the ShowTime cost is huge.

March 1st and 3rd can't come soon enough. Really hoping we get more in depth trading, free agency, international free agents, contracts, etc.

I'm all for both the perks and ShowTime, if it can attract more casual fans to MLBTS. Every year we here users frustrated about even on the lower difficulties, hitting is too difficult. Or they have trouble fielding and just turn on auto-fielding rather than practice. And especially in regards to hitting, we all know somebody who really does prefer that arcade style over sim, and wants to bat .450 with 85 home runs with their RttS player. The perks and ShowTime may assist them in getting the game play experience they want.

And considering we haven't even seen it live yet, who knows? Even us sim-heads here on OS may still appreciate the Perks and ShowTime? Maybe they would be more fun to use than we think?

I have to admit I'll probably use ShowTime every now and then in RttS, as that's something of a fantasy scenario for me anyway.

I know Showtime is an option but I wonder if you can turn it on or off at will? Or do you have to make your decision before you start?

That is exactly the mode I will only use it in. I have always approached RTTS as a fantasy mode. "Showtime" looks really cool and can add a lot of wow highlight reel moments to your RTTS player's resume. It flat out looks like a ton of fun!

Does anybody remember fun?

I also forgot to mention I am stoked to see the Umpire traits. I love knowing my umpire crews and adjusting to "their" strike zones. I hope this goes deeper and I think it will as it will be a featured stream!
