I'll pass on Harold Reynolds. Not a fan.

MVP Edition of course. The additions sound really good, especially RttS.

Assuming I get the game, it's the standard edition for me, most likely. Though, if you are into the card system and Diamond Dynasty, I don't know why you wouldn't jump up to MVP for just $10 more.

That's pretty cool to offer additional ways to buy "The Show". I will likely stick with the standard edition.

Just to let you guys know, those opening day packs are worth $25 each! Now I'm interested in hearing what makes it that price. Has to be at least one guaranteed platinum player or throwback player.

Or if....AHEM! That pack got me a guaranteed legend like Pedro Martinez or Griffey I'd be all over it and hopefully SCEA thinks about going down that road to fill their coffers a bit more because no other sport can do it like baseball. I understand those players can cost a premium and I'm willing to pay that cost if it helps pay it back.

People hate Hawk Harrelson, yet he continues to influence baseball fans and baseball culture.

"Showtime!" is something he says after a White Sox player makes a big play. Since then, Patrick Kane has been mic'd up telling the same phrase after goals, and now they make T-shirts in Chicago that say it.

And now The Show has named a feature after it.

EDIT: A video example of him saying it. Sidenote; I was at that game, directly lined up with Saladino. That ball was firmly a foot behind him when he snagged it. One of the best reaction plays you'll ever see.

Will the way players decline be changed? Because that was an absolute game breaker for me and numerous other people.

I really wanna buy 16, can we please get that leveled off?
