any talk of instant replay

[msmith05]

In next years version? With Umpires calls at random...seems like a good feature to include

I personally don't think I would want it in a video game, but I would not mind if it was optional.

Why don't you want it? I mean it's every other game that has instant replay. Meaning you can challenge in Madden, in NHL the refs will go over and check to make sure that it was a good goal, and in 2K the refs will go to over to the sidelines and see if the shot was shot before the buzzer. So if I had guess it will be coming and I don't think it will be completely optional. By that I mean in the first 6 innings optional for you, last 3 it's up to the ref.

I myself like to go through a season without all the bells and whistles because I do the whole season in franchise. I turn the bells and whistles back on when I play rival teams and the playoffs. If it meant for anyone to miss authenticity for not having the option at all, then I would like rather have the developers to include them in. If there is an option to turn it off, I would like that too.

I wouldn't be so certain either as the system they have in the "real mlb" is absolutely terrible. It will be adjusted over the winter I would hope, which means scea need to have some confirmation of the actual rules in time for next years game. Personal I hope it's done away with in the the form it's carried out now. It's kinda a joke format now

It's so funny that most people, including myself, were clamoring for instant replay and now that it's arrived I'm not a fan. Personally, I wouldn't want the ability to challenge but it would add authenticity to game to have the animation of the manager going out to challenge.


I think the devs are better off taking a wait and see approach since replay is in it's infancy. The process IRL is almost comical at this point. Manager runs out takes as much time as possible for his bench coach to review the play and waits for the signal before challenging. It just feels corny.

I don't mind replay and getting the call right I just hate how stupidly it's been implemented. I hate all replay that has a challenge system. It's making it ok to get some calls right and putting the onus on the wrong thing. I'd prefer if they just committed to getting the calls right and not the pony show it is now. Speed the pitchers up, use the rules already available to move to game along and let coaches ask for a quick replay in ones that are needed

well, lets be honest.....ever major sport has a challenge/replay system now. we all knew it was going to be coming to baseball eventually, the only problem with the replay system RIGHT now is that it's BRAND NEW TO THE SPORT. in 3-4 years time when they have most of the kinks out of the system, everybody will be saying "what did we ever do without replays?" "replays are so great, glad they have them now". i, for one, am glad the replay system is in baseball now and i dont agree with some of these rule changes that were put in due to this new system. next year i'm sure the transfer rule will go back to its original state, the new rule is really ******** and i'll probably never understood why they changed it. just expect the replay system to get better, it has in EVERY sport it was put in. first year rule or gameplay changes are never perfect and there will always be changes made till they get it set up right.
