We've learned, for example, that the game will have a major graphical improvement along with a new radio show. There will also be licensed equipment and what Sony is calling the Human IK engine.

What has you most excited for MLB 15 The Show?

For me, it's directional hitting.

At least, if it's what I think it is. Which would be exactly what the MVP series had. They haven't really expanded on it yet that I've seen.

So even though I didn't play MLB 14 on PS4, I'm expecting a lot out of it for MLB 15. Hopefully the changes and improvements they've revealed so far pay off.

If I was being honest with myself, the Show is probably about 90% of the reason I got a PS3 as well.

I want the franchise mode improvements since that is the mode I play the most.

# 24 @legendm0de @ 01/27/15 05:52 PM

How much of an advancement they have made with the new HumanIK engine might be the most important.

# 25 Herschie @ 01/27/15 06:02 PM

And here you got me all excited that we had some actual news about this game!

Carry over saves, as technically Show 15 will be the first time we have any practical application for it.

I am really looking forward to this as well. They need to incorporate this into all sports games. It is a game changer.

To finally be able to play a game under a closed roof in April... Oh wait!

But honestly I thought we might have some more info to go on at this point. That has me feeling skeptical now.

Because those dev teams were probably working on those new games the entire time leading up to it., When games are selling millions and millions of copies you have the luxury of assembling multiple dev teams to simultaneously work on a bunch of different things within the same franchise. So one team works on Black Flag and another team is already working on whatever the next Creed game is after Black Flag. Maybe you even have a third team brainstorming for the THIRD game beyond those two.

Since MLB The Show does not have that pull, SCEA cannot afford that kind of manpower.

God how I miss scheduling promotions and setting ticket prices/tv contracts. I think the devs may possibly underestimate how much depth that kind of thing can bring to a game like baseball. Wish they never got rid of it!!

# 31 KeanuReevesRules @ 02/03/15 03:44 PM

I agree with many of you that are saying the Radio Show is the best new feature, but if that is the best.... IDK... Seems disappointing to me.

I actually traded my MLB 14 in towards Madden when GameStop had a promotion going that got me $40 for The Show because I thought I would be getting MLB 15 at launch.

With what seems like a rather minimal list of real improvements, I might actually just re-purchase 14 and play some Franchise Mode and take my time with it until MLB 15 comes down in price in mid-Summer as always.

I miss setting promotional dates. Promotional dates are such a big part of baseball where there are so many games. I'd love to see that back. I'd like to have the ability to set ticket and food prices back as well. I would go in after every home game and check out how much I had made from each item.

Whatever you say Special Agent Utah.

Honestly, one of the biggest feature that I am interested in is the player progression system. This would allow guys who are on a tear to be traded while their value is high. I wonder if this is similar to the 2k system where a player who was, say an 80 overall, would tear it up for 4 week and increase to 88. I was able to land a better prospect from a contender because they were in need of my SS who was hitting like .363 over the month long stretch with many clutch hits. You could feel the momentum of those who were on a such a streak.

Very exciting.

# 37 RicoLaguno @ 02/03/15 11:59 PM

I would like them to announce a Stadium Editor Feature.....of all the sports games, Baseball would benefit the most with the ability to build your own ballpark because the field dimensions and walls could actually play a factor in the outcomes and dynamics of a game.

I think Earl Weaver baseball years ago on the Amiga had a very rudimentary baseball park editor but it was awesome because you could change the dimensions of the park and height of the walls which really had an amazing impact on the batted balls

I would love to see this in MLB

Still not sure if I'll get this game but I have to say that The Show 14 has become unplayable for me at this point.

Licensed Equipment - This doesn't matter to me at all. I don't spend my time looking at East Bay catalogs like I did in middle school during the mid-90s.
Year-to-Year Saves - This is one thing I am happy about and it gives me good reason to wait until MLB 15 comes down in price.
Universal Rewards - Meh...
Legends - This doesn't do much for me as I don't play Ultimate Team/Diamond Dynasty type games... also, I always disable Legends in order to keep my Franchise Mode sim.
Major Graphical Improvements - This is expected annually... Yes, it is nice - but not a 'feature'.
