I think they said balks are still OFF, but you can push R2 to pause the game for 3 seconds when batting so they cant quick pitch you.

I'm actually in favor of playing online at lower difficulty settings mainly due to pitch speed. Playing CoTW you see the pitch speed difference ramp up easily or at least it seems like there is a significant ramp-up. The speed in DD in 15 is about as high as I'd want it to go since if it was faster it would only entice people even more to play a certain way. i.e. load up on fireballers and pitch up and in, then bring in Neshek or whoever else has a huge speed differential between pitches. Gets old fast and with higher input lag displays (I have one) even when you know it's coming every pitch it's extremely hard to hit 100 mph up and in.

Since both players play with the same difficulty I've never had an issue with it in DD. It always seemed fair to me. This year it might prevent newer players from ever making up to higher leagues if everytime they reach a new tier they immediately get knocked down again due to the difficulty spike between levels.

I love the changes they made to Diamond Dynasty.

As for the higher tax for selling cards, I don't see a problem there. The market is goint to adjust and there will be a bigger difference between sell now & buy now prices.

Great!

It sounds like there are some measure of detailed stats that will be in which is best thing about '16 imo. Hopefully these "new" stats are for RttS as well.

That stat tracking better be in franchise mode or its a wash.

Oh my god, if these stats are NOT in RttS AND Franchise, this will be the biggest honeydick in the history of MLB The Show(Maybe not, but to me it will be).

I don't know if I would be able to forgive them.


Give me stats...MOAR stats!!

It has to show up in franchise but there may not be a need to use it in RTTS. It would be a great addition though.

Well, we know it's obviously in Franchise but I wouldn't be surprised if its not in DD. In Franchise it makes sense because you build your roster, lineups, rotations, etc. In RttS it doesn't make as much sense because you only control the development of your player. People may want to see more stats on their individual player though, so its possible.

I was hoping inside edge would be in franchise since it was in DD, turns out it wont be. So you never know.
