In the last couple years, we’ve added something we call your Universal Profile, which tracks your playstyle tendencies and passively rewards you with XP and Stubs while you play. This year, in addition to XP and Stubs, you’ll earn new Items usable throughout different game modes.

Road to the Show is a mode focused on one player’s path to the majors and beyond. As you play, you’ll find different qualities of licensed equipment that can enhance your player’s attributes. Once you find them, you’ll equip them to your player for an instant boost to his skill. Your player has slots for a Bat, Batting Gloves, Fielding Glove, Cleats, and echoing the traditions of our sport, a Ritual item.

Franchise is a mode focused on managing baseball organizations on every level. Periodically, you’ll find Brand Sponsorship contracts. Once you have the contract in hand, you can choose at any time to partner your Franchise team with the Brand. Doing so will add some Brand flavor to your interface during game broadcasts. The Sponsorship also earns your team budget incentives based on how you performance in a certain statistic.

Diamond Dynasty is a fantasy baseball card mode where you build a custom team and assemble players you find into a squad. Diamond Dynasty is DRASTICALLY changed this year so keep an eye out for a more focused blog about it. MLB Player Cards and Stadiums Cards will be rewarded as you play. While playing ANY mode, you’ll be passively building a fantasy squad of MLB pros.

Collect an entire MLB team or get REALLY lucky with a pack, and you’ll unlock an iconic alumni player from one of 30 MLB teams.

We’re very excited this year that we’ve partnered with nine iconic baseball brands to bring items from their product catalog directly into the game. We are lucky to have such amazing partners. Check out this list of awesomeness:
  • Franklin®
  • Louisville Slugger®
  • Nike®

I don't know if you can answer this since they haven't had a stream about this
yet. Will we have access to all the equipment in Franchise mode?

Ramone answered this in another thread. The answer is yes. Also if you use y2y saves the equipment doesn't transfer over so you'll have to go in and manually change it. (Unless they found a way for it to transfer over)

I am glad they did get some real gear in, but boosts for career modes and commercials in game? Come on, this is the stuff we criticize Madden and 2k for all of the time.
There are not actual commercials PZ, lol. And no, you do not have to use franchise sponsorships.

Any chance that Sponsorship stuff will show up on Stat overlays in season mode as well? It looks cool however I only do Season mode.

I absolutely hate the fact they tied boosts to the equipment in RTTS.
 
# 26 Cowboy008 @ 02/10/15 09:04 PM
Will we be able to have more than one sponsor?
 
# 27 MauerMorneau09 @ 02/10/15 09:04 PM
Ugh I'm in love and the game is still nearly 2 months from release! Make it be March 31st already!
 
# 28 Steve_OS @ 02/10/15 09:05 PM
Updated the OP w/ all 30 legends.

It's "AND" or "&" lol.

Yeah i really wish they just made all equipment available in RTTS with no boosts tied to them.

Then maybe you get an exclusive deal with Nike or Under Armour and then you can only wear that brand, and then maybe it'll give you some sort of boost.

It's the same idea though. It's bad enough that in real life, every freaking thing is sponsored by something. I know I'm in the minority on this; I just wish they would knock some off the price of the game if they got extra sponsorship.

Well, it is optional. If you decide not to select sponsorship in your franchise, it'll be the same as in past versions.

Also, the inclusion of real life brands/sponsor technically raises operating costs for SDS.

Idk if you can answer this or not, but how will this work in regards to year to year saves?
 
# 37 SmashMan @ 02/10/15 09:52 PM
When they show the sponsor placement options at 1:49, should it say "News Ticker Sponsor" instead of "New Ticker Sponsor"?
 
# 38 garyjr33 @ 02/10/15 09:52 PM
Good stuff! I thought I saw Russell say something in one of the threads that the new equipment cannot be used in an RTTS that was created in 14 and continued to 15. Can anyone confirm this? I may be making this up, not sure. Haha.
 
# 39 Shakedowncapo @ 02/10/15 09:55 PM
Even though they only have 30 legends, it can only grow from here. Can you imagine unpacking a 2008 Albert Pujols, 2007 A-Rod, or 2002 Manny Ramirez card through DD?! This should be the thought process going forward because its absolutely perfect for a baseball game.

Really wish there was Oakley, but can't complain
