MLB 15 The Show News Post


More MLB 15 The Show details have been revealed by Target. They also have a special pre-order price of $39.99 for PlayStation 4 gamers, but many are getting errors when trying to get it at that price, (thanks for the heads up Gleebo)!

Some of the new details that have been revealed on their product page include a new New Human IK Engine, new Tag System, revamped commentary, overhauled Franchise mode and more.

For the first time, partnerships with real-world equipment brands will bring MLB-accurate bats, gloves, shoes, and batting gloves to the game. Customize your Road to The Show player in the best gear from the sport’s best brands.

It’s not just the gear that’s more authentic this year. Players and teams also have more unique personalities and styles plus a wide array of emotional reactions to all the heartbreak and triumph on the field.

And that field will be more action-packed with new animations, a new tag system, and completely new Human IK engine. In 2015, playing the field will be as exciting as stepping up to the plate.

MLB 15 The Show also features major graphical improvements. Enhanced stadium lighting, Improved gloss and specular, resulting in more natural lighting on players. Seasonal day/night transitions have also been added into the world of The Show.

And the improvements aren’t all animations and graphics. The game itself has gotten deeper with more ways to play, earn rewards, and put together a Hall of Fame career.

Best of all, Universal rewards will mean that all of that gameplay earns Stubs that can be spent on licensed equipment, Road to The Show improvements, and virtual baseball cards. We’re introducing 30 Iconic MLB Alumni into our virtual player card pool, 1 representative for each team. These players span every historic baseball era of the last 70 years. Like all of our Universal Rewards, you have a chance of finding a historic virtual player card to add to your collection and utilize throughout MLB 15 The Show.

Make yourself a legend and never start your career or season over again. With Year-to-Year saves, users will be able to continue their Road to The Show players and Franchises from MLB 14 The Show into MLB 15 The show, and into future releases.“

All of that is only scratching the surface of how MLB 15 The Show is ready to prove that Baseball Is Better. Revamped commentary, improved load times, and an overhauled franchise mode are also on-deck to help make the 10th edition of The Show the best one yet.

Which would you rather hang up on your wall in your bedroom, a scanned printout of Starry Night, or a hand-painted replica by a respectable artist?

At the end of the day, a computer can only capture so much. It gathers information from fixed angles, at a fixed height, and processes them with a fixed algorithm, and imports them into a fixed program, rendered on a fixed monitor. That's not a lot of versatility to scan one of the 7 billion faces on this earth.
Whatever nba 2k is doing to their player faces is working, and is the holy grail (at least the ones they scan).

And a lot of the players in the Show look extremely well done too, just not enough.

Wait, what...? Hand-paintings vs actual photographs? And we are actually debating which of the two is more accurate?



But seriously, the setup the devs use is plenty good enough already:

Spoiler


And Abe's face was spot on last year.

Since everyone else is chiming in I'm gonna say that the faces in the Show on PS4 definitely looks better then the ones on PS3, no brainer there, but in comparison to what other sports games are doing with faces and skin, the Show is behind almost every other "now" gen sports game.

Now that that's been said, has anyone else noticed that the Show hasn't been putting out much content at CES this year and last year. I've gotten used to not only looking at the newer tech at CES but also seeing tons of videos from the Show at CES. I thought that last years CES no Show (ha ha) was because of the PS4 release delay, what happened this year? Like every Show release year I'm ultra excited and can't wait for the release, I just miss those CES videos that would help hold me over for a couple weeks.

I can't say for fact why they aren't at CES this year, but if I had to take a guess, which is all this is, I would say its because they are on a shorter development cycle this year due to the PS4 version dropping in May of last year and this year's game releasing at the end of March.

Lol Ryan, its a joke!

or the backlash and complaining that is so common now. They release early details and everyone thinks thats all thats coming and complains until the next bit of info comes out. We were told this might happen eventually

Don't be ridiculous!

Clearly the lack of info this early on can only mean that the game has been cancelled and all of SCEA's man power has been funneled into a Yasiel Puig themed iOS app that tells you when your cookies are ready. #MLB15TheDough.

The facts are there for anyone who knows how to read between the lines.

Russell, back me up on this one.

God I can't wait for the fact sheet. I make sure I have snacks and a beer before I open my laptop and get lost in written euphoria.

That day is getting closer and closer.

I get hot fudge and chocolate ice cream when I read the fact sheet!

Dang, maybe Sony should charge to view the fact sheet or charge to view it early,
then we would have enough funds for a couple extra classic stadiums

I would say no, the ps3 is more than likely being phased out, while the ps4 is getting more of the attention, with new features. as of mlb13 I believe Russell said they have done all they can do with it, the ps3 version is maxed out.
