The game's going to be great and I can't wait for March 31st. However, that was an underwhelming trailer. Until I know more about the new features, none of them are particularly exciting. And almost everything in that trailer could've been MLB 14 and I wouldn't have known the difference.

I think they mean you need stubs to unlock the equipment as a selectable option in the player edit/creation process. All the real life players will already have whatever gear they are supposed to have, but when you create a player in RTTS you will probably need stubs to give him Nike socks.

I think you are underselling just how much other people have wanted legends. It was one of the most demanded features of them all, at least here, and I think even the general public will really love it. If there's one thing us baseball fans love it's to reminisce and relive history.
I'm not saying you have to personally like this feature but I'm positive it will be a popular feature.

I agree. It looked great. The Show has had some celebration animations in the past that have looked very awkward and unhuman, bordering on corny. Guys acted like it was their first time ever hitting the baseball every time. But this one looked pretty chill and realistic, it seemed well done.

Pumped about the release date announcement! Not impressed with the trailer or early "feature" reveals. But I think we'll get more info around CES - Holding out hope for a new broadcast team and commentary engine on PS4!

# 64 aguero90 @ 12/06/14 05:43 PM

Don't think we're getting new pbp man, not this year, but I do expect a commentary overhaul.

In case some missed this.

Exactly Showtyme! Lol, one little first trailer won't show us the whole feast! Lets reserve judgement until we get actual gameplay.

Couple things I would like to see on MLB 2015 the show. Please let's have a new broadcast crew. It be nice to have the guys from TBS on there and Ron darlin giving in depth pitcher analysis. Please, let's have a more realistic fielding animation as it looks repetitive. Have say a guy like Reyes throw sidearm from behind his ears like a catcher as he normally does. Have players celebrate home runs as they nornally do also with the Reyes like attitudes, encarnacion chicken wing celebration! Challenge plays!! Allow managers to challenge a call. Have more blown calls and wider strike ones for selective umpires. Let's have real umpires please. I'm tired of the potato head looking umpires. A small thing I notice too that I want fixed is the base runner screen. Let's have numbers on the players jerseys when on the base running screens. It he cool to have mc cutch do his steel city celebration after a double! I want to see more animation on call strike three. Have players argue a bit. Give the option to argue a call. Cr wait for 2015!!

It's great to see that licensed equipment is going to be in the game this upcoming year. Let's be real though. I've been playing every show since it first started as MLB 06 for ps2. Last year was a great jump from ps3 to ps4 for next gen graphics. Game play was meh. I hope I'm wrong, from the video though, it seems to be the same game play wise. Cleats not digging into the dirt still. Where is the natural look to baserunning? Will we see true physics with player Collison or against the wall for a nice catch? I just feel that they're just making small yearly jumps instead of what we should be seeing by now from them. Nice dugout celebration but if not mistaking, I thought dodgers use the bubble machine? That would be great to see. Yes they will improve on these modes that we love and other things here and there but I want to see a gameplay improvement this second year on next gen. Really don't want to pay $60 for improved modes, dugout improvements and licensed equipment. Those are some things that shouldve been in last year. I'm just speaking for myself but others may understand what I'm saying. I don't want this to continue being the same game at its core with other improvements. Physics should be incorporated when hitting the wall, the ground on slides and dives, natural base running and so on. I just want to see an improved game all around. Just not portions.

I seriously doubt this trailer was meant for anything except showing the coverboy....and the licensed equipment announcement.

K. Cool story.

This, exactly. But of course leave it to some here to complain and cry over every little thing. Of a game that is still being worked on and is months away from release. People love to overreact and complain. If they can't complain they aren't happy.

I'm sure there are people who will like the addition, but it's not going to help sales, and in the end will be money wasted. They may try to recoup some of the money by selling packs of cards or something along those lines, but even then it doesn't make much sense with the player vault already being there.

Ummmm you can throw to the cutoff man. What are you talking about?

You can't cut it off mid throw which is imperative. You have to decide before release if you are going to the cutoff man which isn't how it works in real life.

We've asked for this for years.

I know that, maybe Steven you should've been more specific on what you meant.

You should be more specific next time dude because I know what you're saying now, didn't know what you were saying originally.

Maybe next year it could be a mute point.

Exactly. We still have over 12 weeks until this game drops. I'm 99.9% sure that they haven't announced everything that will be in the game already.
