Wow. I'm really impressed

I don't play Road to the show but I liked what I saw during the gameplay they showed. I was never expecting a big leap in graphics for PS4 Pro at this point but I still think 19 looks as beautiful as ever

I am slightly more interested now. It seems like I was right in the other thread. The caps are at 99 but reaching them on your weak skills looks like it will be really difficult, or at least more difficult.

THANK THE HEAVENS - You can choose your team again if you want! Now if they could just reduce the chance of you being traded. I have very rarely made it to the Cardinals ML roster before being traded.

During the demo, they went through the dreaded position change. I am fine with switching for a week or two as long as it not permanent.

Skill tree looks interesting, but would need to see more of the options before I make a final decision on if I like them.

It is nice that they listened to the two biggest complaints from returning players last year, that we still wanted the ability to be an all 99 player and that we want to be able to choose our team.

Yeah the changing position thing is over-done. I wish it would happen less often and more when it would make sense.

Also my fears have both been assuaged from the removal of caps and that the in-game challenges don't occur that often.

I really love them getting innovative with some of these new features.

Yeah, it seems to be scripted in to every player you create. Again. I don't mind it if it is for a few weeks in the Minors, but I should always have the final say on whether that move becomes permanent, and I should not be penalized for saying no it. I realize it may not be realistic but If I choose to be a SS then it was because I want to play as a SS.


With carryover saves you could be playing your player for years so you want it to be at the position you want to play as.

My favourite part is they are adding in 2k like depth and interaction, without the over the top forced storylines. You truely can write your own story.
