Cool

I hope today or tomorrow is the day we finally get the fact sheet for MLB 15 The Show

Me tooo! I got a serious baseball itch... not just for mlb the show, spring training March 3 for my team!!

I'm super-pumped for 15, still can't stop playing 14 and that's saying a lot.

I'm not sure how promising this sounds and I'm afraid they'yr going down Madden's route. Madden used to be a first day automatic purchase on the PS2 but come the PS3 it was terrible. I hope The Show doesn't follow suit but it sounds like it may...

You really may be the only one who feels this way.

I can guarantee you I'm not. I've bought the show every year since 2010 on day one and I love it but I'm starting to see a trend where not much is changing. When you have the exact same player models and hear the same things form the commentary from 5 years ago, it's worrisome.

This was more like a guessing preview as opposed to a preview.

lmao year to year saves is not a game changer at all smh

# 11 aguero90 @ 01/28/15 03:45 PM

I play a lot of rtts, and mostly the show live. I'm just such a big baseball fan, that a lot of my time gets taken up by watching actual games, so a lot of my gameplay is done in the winter.

It really is tho, if you play RTTS. I wish other sport games (nba2k and nhl) had this feature. Then I wouldn't have to spend 3 months of grinding each year.

The Show is the most accurate sports sim out there. Not sure why you feel this way, or what you want them to change. But baseball doesn't change that much from year to year. Player models are good, could use some work but certainly don't make the game a joke. Commentary needs work too but again isn't a game breaker. Not sure what kind of monumental changes you expect them to make.

I'm sure they can make some improvements to Franchise mode and graphics and such. MLB 14 definitely didn't jump out to me as far as graphics go as some other games did. But going back to the person you quoted, I think the biggest difference is that Madden took a giant step back in almost every way moving from PS2 to PS3. MLB 14 did not take a step back, just maybe not as big of a step forward as some people thought it would

# 15 aguero90 @ 01/28/15 06:30 PM

I think of mlb 14 on ps4 as a Jedi knight, not quite the Jedi master yet! But in a couple years, it'll be a force to be reckoned with.

# 16 aguero90 @ 01/28/15 07:57 PM

I'm wondering what's on the screen when the radio show is going on. Lol, listen to me, I'm the last person to be talking about visuals! But it is interesting, I mean do we just sit and stare at nothing while we listen?

D. None of the above

If there was a competitor with an mlb sim to go with the show I guarantee there would be more information to look at.

I wouldn't dare compare it to Madden as it does appear that the Show developers are listening and working hard on the game every year. I do think that the general crowd here on OS gives the game passes on many aspects because the gameplay is so damn good. I've been pretty disappointed in recent efforts with regards to presentation, commentary and online play. Looking forward to seeing how much work went into offline franchise mode.

I'm also curious to see if any changes to fielder speed was done. The past 3 years or so, almost all slider sets seem to knock the fielder run speed down to 0-2.
