it was the best

I love this game, but there are WAY too many dropped pop ups/fly balls. It's not like I have guys out of position or making difficult plays. Guys are just dropping the ball and it caused me two franchise games so far...smh

I only see this happen 3/4 times every complete cycle.

I just started season two, and two things jumped out at me:

1) I saw new third inning real-life shots, which might mean that they hold some back in the presentation for year one.

2) The announcers have been talking about what my players did last year, which is really cool. Grandal has gotten love for being the WS MVP and Seager has gotten love for winning the Silver Slugger award for NL shortstops.

Really helps the immersion factor in franchise mode to feel like you own little world is taking its own narrative shape.

Reason #84 I love this game:

Allow 19 runs in a loss @WAS; fully expect to get lit up in subsequent games as well (11, 9, whatever) but proceed to allow 2 runs in game 2 and 1 run in game 3.

You just never know.

All the extra pop-ups, notifications, icons take away from the realism for me. - Manager tips, huge baserunning icon, XP points, defensive shift icon notifications, L1 cutoff notification, etc. I use auto baserunning and auto fielding/man throwing...I wish I could just turn all this stuff off. 2. Lack of true broadcast pace of game - Why cut off the throw back to the pitcher from the catcher...I went back to MLB '13 PS3 and played...going back to the '13 model of switching the camera angles is better than cutting short an animation....I'm tortured because every game it does it once correctly all the time (introducing the home umpire) and I've seen it do it correctly once or twice randomly in a game i was playing...it was so nice to see the throw back to the pitcher and then him slowly positioning himself back on the mound (matter of fact, i'd love to see that slow option for pitcher delay return) - Animation is cut short when the first basement throws the ball back to pitcher on a pickoff attempt...maybe other bases too, but i don't throw back for runners on 2nd or 3rd ever -The infrequency of the camera tracking the majority of fouls into stands / out of play -The inability to turn off the HR camera In summary, I wish there was a way to turn off everything icon/help/notification related (i.e. anything i wouldn't see watching a TV game) only leaving the scorebug. Finally, a rock solid framerate at 60fps would be a dream. I forgot how smooth '13 on PS3 played. It was night/day difference (I know with all the upgrades to the current PS4 version that may not be fair, but i'm just saying) I don't know much about the patching process and all involved...so, I don't know whether to just give up hope or just accept the fact this is where the series is going and i'm in the extreme minority. Even with all that, the game is so fun and hard to put down. I read all the good stuff about Uncharted 4, but if I bought it, it would just be another coaster that Uncharted 3 turned out to be. With a tight schedule and a 6 yr old, when 30 minutes are free there can only be one winner.

This is exactly how I feel, but after 10 years I can't say it as well as you did.

Did you finish that 19 run game? I just couldn't do it.

I did. You know, it wasn't that bad.
