Like can you unlock the broadcast Cam from MOM to be used in Franchise mode

I didn't ask as I know that's simply not a priority.
I just love that cam and (like broadcast cam in Madden) I'd play with it.

Like other people said, you can always change them. But the pants were throwbacks (old old throwbacks). The Black jersey should be worn every Friday though

Noticed this too (I'm an M's fan). Assuming this was likely the CPU as they were simulating trade logic and Franchise seasons.

One thing I just thought of, from the fact sheet: "Partner up with Brand Sponsors, giving your broadcast elements an official sponsor and earn some extra dough to spend on your team."

I always try to make things as fair as possible between my team and the CPU teams. That means a lot of time new features are addded in franchise modes in sports games that the CPU doesn't use so I refuse to use it too. Will the CPU teams get bonus money also?

They finally scanned Manny Machado's face into the game this year, and got Adam Jones facial hair correct! I'm a happy O's fan!

I never realized how important lighting was in baseball games until this year. The skin tones on all the players look so much better than last year, and the sky, sunlight, and shadows just look incredible.

I was actually talking about wearing them in real league play not in the game.

Glad to here they are throwbacks.

I highly doubt it. You dont have to sim in franchise though?

Those are actually 2 separate upgrades for this year. The lighting engine was definitely improved, then in addition to, the skin tones are now also color matched to the players actual complexion. So no more skin tone 1-7 like it was before. Those changes absolutely make a world of difference!

One of things is not like the others. One of these thing just isn't the same.

I don't get it, 3 years in a season?

You can play multiple seasons in season mode. I think he wants a franchise-ish experience without all of the minor leagues management and whatnot.

To the original question, I'm not sure Clarke99, as I didn't particularly look for it in season mode. Maybe one of the other CD guys, or Ramone can answer.

Apparently i have no games that block some screens right now so i cant test this. I like to take screenshots of some of the loading screens that come up. Things like End of Month stats. Whenever 15 goes into a loading screen you get the notification that game play recording has been stopped. Anyone know if its only the recordings that dont work and you can still take screenshots in those situations?

It's only the recording, you can still take screenshots. Also, that message only pops up because they are actually live streaming from the "PS4" (dev unit).

Oh yeah didnt even think about that. Thanks.

I know some people noticed the speedy sim speeds in MLB 15, and the faster loading times were pointed out in the streams. I don't believe no one has mentioned how snappy the menus are as well (maybe one person on the OS podcast.) They are easily the most responsive/snappy I've seen in a sports game!

Wilhelmsen and Ackley were traded too. I think the returns were Marwin Gonzalez and Matt Holliday, which probably means some guys got hurt. Brad probably sucks this year, so a possible scenario is Taylor got hurt and the CPU wanted to replace him.

OT, I just noticed Kiley McDaniel has Chris Taylor as a 55 FV, a 55! I wish he rated out like that in The Show, I had him at 82 potential last year.

# 257 ajblithe20 @ 02/27/15 06:14 PM

I wonder just how improved the trade logic is. The trade finder looks really cool. But seeing an Ackley for Holliday trade is a little worrisome. I don't think there were any ridiculous trades in the stream like past iterations. I guess only time will tell.

I think the more questionable trade was Shelby Miller for Ben Revere.

# 259 RandyBass @ 02/27/15 06:35 PM

So is there a summary of things revealed in this latest stream?

I don't believe it is. Not 100% sure, but I think gm contract goals are only for franchise mode.

I don't have my notes with me, but I believe the yearly goals (can)change each season of the 3 years. So it might be go .500 the first year and the second year win a title.
