I think it would be kind of cool if on some (not necessarily all) of the generic gear, they put on the Sony San Diego Logo (sans wording) and had the option to adjust it with team colors.Attachment 93402

Pretty slick icon. Would look snazzy on a chest protector.

Yeah, but I always find it looks silly when the game logo or other identifiable images are in the game. I'd rather they just throw together a few fake brand logos and slap them on everything than having THE SHOW on the bats for example. Or seeing billboards for the game when I am playing the game (unless those stadiums have those ads in real life of course).

Are we going to be able to use more colors for bat tape this year? (In the Spring Training video Eric Hosmer has neon tape) Previously we could only use Black, White, Green, Blue, and Red. Can we use all the colors now or just a select few? Team colors?

Idk if SCEA is aware of this or if it is too late, but the Angels no longer wear black cleats. They have started wearing team color cleats (red).

FYI, they are looking into the cleat colors for the other teams that have locked cleats. So this may be a part of that evaluation. I can inquire... is there a press release to go along with this?

Any idea if they're looking into cap brim being locked as well?

No press release, but I went to their complex the other day and every player had red cleats. I'm also watching the game on my Lap Top (MLB TV While at the A's vs Cubs game) and all the players are wearing red cleats. Let me see if I can find some info on it for you.

Don't know if these are new screen shots or not.

I haven't seen them. They look great. CC got fat again, so he isn't quite so slim now. Also his hat should be tilted, but those are no bug deal.

I guess the tilted caps didn't make it into the game this year.

Yes, they are aware of that too. My personal opinion is that it probably won't be changed for MLB 15, but we'll see. It is definitely on their radar tho.

Awesome!! Thanks man!!

Being changed for 15 would be amazing, some players look really funny with the major bends of their brim.

Looks like they got the Red cleats in for the Angels. They obviously have to update the newcomers to the team. They also need to eliminate the black on the shoe (Should be white, Tc1=red, or tc2=Navy Blue). Otherwise easy manual fix.
 
# 375 ShowTyme15 @ 03/05/15 10:24 PM
Cleats are definitely locked again. When Ramone does a year to year save and shows Puig in the player editor screen the Dodger's cleats are locked. Pause it at the 1:54:24 mark and you'll see it.

I watch baseball pretty much during the season and playoffs and with The Show it provides an authentic game to play except for there was no equipment license until now for the PS4. I really have never payed that much attention to what the players wear or use so much until now. I was watching the MLB Network yesterday some beginning spring training games, Dodgers vs White Sox and Twins vs Red Sox and there was lots of close-ups of the players wearing the same equipment we will have in the Show , it was very cool to see all the gloves, cleats and bats with all the logos we have wanted in our game. Equipment ... Baby....... Equipment...... So sweet to see........... Excitement for March 31st it's all most here

If you're gonna say a dev team doesn't work hard aim that at Tiburon. At least it'll be a valid statement then.
While I agree with the SCEA is a hard working team statement I totally disagree on your reasoning while theres no competition or other video game system MLB Baseball games .

As 2k was under contract to make that game with that horrible licensed game contract after EA took Football and why do you think EA chose to re make NBA Live instead of bringing back MVP Baseball ?

Ill give you a hint $$$$ as theres just not enough sales for another Licensed MLB baseball game to warrant it well at least not enough for EA IMO .

Yes their hard working but no on why , as theres just not enough sales on a MLB game and one system .

Well if a third party made a MLB game it would be multiplat, at least XBO and PS4. But your assessment is correct I feel on why there is no competition for The Show. The market just isn't very large for MLB video games right now.

Even MLB 2k13 sold around 400k copies on X360, while MLB 13 sold around 650k.

That isn't a gigantic gap when you consider The Show is considered the vastly better product.

Even if EA put out an MVP baseball that was better than The Show and on multiple platforms, it just doesn't have a pool of customers large enough to make it a worth while investment. You have to bet hard that there are a lot of MLB fans that want a game, but cannot purchase one due to not owning a Sony console.

But, I hope we do someday see the return of MVP. It's just...what would it even be, could they even come close to what MVP 2005 was? Even then 2K and EA were battling it out for sales as 2K5 and MVP 2005 both sold well on PS2.

I'm worried about sports games in general. It seems like sports titles are dropping like flies. The market for them seems like it gets smaller each year.
