I don't want to be negative as that's not my intention so I'll spoiler this.

Spoiler

I can live without an owner mode or create a stadium for another year,ut if they ignored sortable league, career and positional stats again, I will not be getting The Show this year.

I would of guessed by the name but I know nothing really about it.

Shibe is a fun park. Very similar to Ebbetts. Those two are the original cookie cutter parks!

Doesn't change or negate the fact that its a terrible and unfun baseball stadium.

Nothing really grab me because I only play franchise mode, so I really could care less about all the gimmick modes. Franchise mode needs way more Depth, and I had hoped once they switch consoles thatwithmorepower we would see more MILB clubs, and more MILB parks, even if fictional parks are all they can do. Atleast revamped Spring training. I don't know if I will even have the money to buy it day1, but if its major changes are gimmick modes and franchise is basically the same, then I might not need to worry about having the moneyto buy it, because I wont an stick with 15.

Man with all these legend players and now Polo Grounds back in the mix (if not more) I wish we'd get the oldschool baggy uniforms as well.

If Olympic Stadium is in the game, the Expos better be available in some type of expansion mode or relocation mode inside of franchise mode!

Yeah the Polo Grounds is an awesome place. Not a single home run to dead center*, and down the lines was <300 feet.

# 35 Chisoxfan14 @ 12/12/15 11:25 AM

They can announce anything and get my money. It's literally the perfect game and any changes I want are small.

I think there are some ball trajectory issues that need addressed: balls hit around the catcher that aren't attempted to be fielded and bounce off the mask etc and half the time the ball is actually fair. The foul
balls that are going out of play and take this crazy trajectory back into play to a fielder, line drives that richochette off the pitcher or other fielders but someone always makes a superhuman play and still throws you out.

Also, I want real rain delays, rainouts, and double headers, it's part of the game.

We don't know for sure yet, but I am guessing build a stadium is not in, but sounds like there is a good chance maybe we can still get the Customization of leagues....Love that Classic Stadiums are back!!!

# 37 Turbojugend @ 12/16/15 04:55 PM

At this point, I think league customization is #1 on my wishlist. We've got some nice classic stadiums coming back and the throwback unis are already there, along with the great historic rosters that the community provides we've got most of the bases covered. But it sucks trying to recreate a historic season with regional division structures and Tampa Bay, Arizona, etc., in the fold.

Give me the option to create a true historic season; AL, NL, best team wins the pennant, those two face off in the World Series. Done.
