[baseball_fever]

Best:

1) MLB network presentation along with the two new men in the booth.

2) Season stats every time the player comes to bat.

3) New faces


Worst:

1) Was hoping for more in regards to franchise.

2) Jersey colours still off.

3) The "early and "late" words that pop up while using meter pitching.

Excited for the ball physics, and hoping- really hoping AI is much better, both team mate (Baserunning) and opponent (Pitcher match ups in games, or playoff series)
still the reason why I bought the PS4, but like many of us OSers...I am old school play every inning franchise person,hate to see it get pushed to the side

I was thinking about this more, I am happy with all the changes. As long as we can edit players I am fine. I am just happy to have a baseball game. It's almost scary, if there wasn't the show there would be no baseball game. So I am thankful.

Well, certainly no BB game on the level of The Show but there are the more Arcade style games like RBI Baseball and Super Mega Baseball (which is a surprisingly fun arcade baseball game). Then on the pure simulation side there is Out of The Park Baseball.

I don't think any additions have been "cons" of any sort yet, but some omissions (things that have yet to be included) could fall into that category for sure.

The only thing is I wish that Retro fielding camera would pull all the way up for bombed home runs. Whether it's in HRD or otherwise, upper deck flies probably won't be caught on camera.
