Obviously Ben didn't read the full list of features because there was some information on commentary in there.

Was bummed to see no info regarding online, especially now that we pay to play online with this current generation and 14 was an absolute mess
I have to echo Ben's comments regarding the way SCEA release their information. Whereas the trend often sees developers giving features, that more often than not we've seen before, a fancy new name, here we have a compressive list to digest at our leisure. There are some comments regarding increased commentary lines although we're unlikely to be blown away in this regard from the details given so far. It seems the be Radio Show maybe the only notable improvement in this particular area of presentation.

I can't wait for this game to drop. As a sports gamer this was not only the game that converted me to baseball games because I never play them but it was also the best sports game in 2014 IMO.

I'm happy to see them add back in Franchise mode features lost after MLB 12. The experience should be more like NBA 2K15's MyGM mode. Only without any VC at all, just experience points.
You're right guys, I somehow missed the commentary section on the fact sheet. Which is weird, because it's been my biggest complaint for as long as I can remember. Thanks for pointing it out!
With that being the case, I am one happy fan.

Dynamic progression/regression, editable contracts, directional bunting, all new speed paradigms for fielding and running and throwing, sounds game changing to me. Only hope is the graphical side of their game also has as much game changing boost, I'd say the chances of that also sound promising with all new grass and dirt setup to corresspond each ballpark, realtime player emotions on field and in dugout plus crowd reactions, honorable mention to their efforts to make up for SOTS by providing hrs of new music?. Players will me modeled with all new skin tones and texture, which is the most flawed current side to the graphics in my opinion, plastic looking skin models.
This is not overhype, these changes are legitimately worth taking a look at. On the downside, I guess the biggest thing to point your finger at, is the lack of retractable roofs and weather improvements. I would love to feel like wind and weather conditions were maxed out but looking at the list of items they addressed it legitimately is forgivable. I wish I could think of more downside because I like to remain hyper critical of my games so they keep improving but hell, they even have included new jumbotron videos which I requested personally months ago. I just can't wait to experience the full package and take a glimpse of their livestream.

Editable contracts got my immediate attention but this
has me intrigued too.

No career stats is a huge disappointment to me, but trade finder and performance based player progression are HUGE!!!

The fact sheet was great and I can't wait for the stream on Thursday. If I had to pick one thing that I was a little bummed about was that they didn't mention the Human IK engine.

Plusses
+ Year-to-year saves (++ if '15 can read '14 roster files..fingers crossed)
+ A variety of new animations and hopefully good riddance to lolly gagging at the wrong time
+ Trade finder and improved trade logic (although this is one thing I'll believe it when I see it, tbh because it's been SO bad it spawned 8,000 page threads on OS--even improved from this could still be pretty bad)
+ Editable contracts!
+ Radio show!
+ Wrigley renovations (Cubs fan here)
+ Replay system is in
+ Refreshed franchise mode (owner goals, sponsorships, slightly more depth etc..)
+ Grass, dirt reboot?
+ Beefed up commentary
+ Licensed equipment (not really my thing, but I might be more impressed playing with this gear and noticing it a bit)
Minuses
- Stagnant, frustrating stat tracking
- Player models largely the same? Animations bring them to life, but the player graphics are pretty unimpressive when standing still in batters box etc.. (purely speculating here)
- Lots of the roster management options don't work well (cpu is terrible at 40-man roster management and always gets fleeced in the Rule 5 draft unless you baby them and manage their 40-man)
- Still lacking quite a bit of roster management depth (10 round drafts, no stats/backstories/signing bonuses/possibility of prospects refusing to come out, contracts don't have vesting options or other common provisions like bonuses, no cash in trades or ability to add ptbnl, no minors below A ball to stash and develop youngsters)
- In-game AI (poor bullpen management with no propensity for situational R/L matchups, poor use of 2nd catcher, boneheaded baserunning going for 3rd with 2 outs and down by a lot in a late game situation)
- No create-a-team or relocation options
- No stadium builder or ability to manipulate retractable roofs
To be fair, I think a few of the minuses on my list are things SDS is looking into for '16. From the sheer volume of things mentioned in fact sheet, it seems like SDS was spread pretty thin as it was for the '15 cycle. All in all, '15 seems to be a development cycle in which SDS covered a lot of ground.
