He's actually given that answer many times over the past few years...

Also there is the fact that the coolers say THE SHOW on the lids.

I feel kind of bad pointing those things out, it's not meant as a critique. It's a phenomenal photo and I can't wait to take some pics in game. I'm just the kind of person who finds it fun to find all of the minutia in a photo like that.

Those pan overs to the dugouts in game are going to look fantastic.
Another way you can tell it's the Show, because the dugout is not PLASTERED with ads.

I think PBR will finally make MLB The Show look like a true next gen PS4 game! I am not saying MLB 15 The Show looks bad but it does kind of still have that PS3 look if you know what I mean.

Come on bring on the Fact Sheet!
Question for Russell.

Can you use that phone in the dugout to order a hot dog and a soft drink or does it only go to the bullpen?

I hope they added more hair styles and facial hair options. Also hoping for home/road equipment options as well. *Fingers crossed*

I found this pic online Russell of the new sign in Yankees Stadium. They're also upgrading The Yankee Stadium sign to LED which is why it's not in the picture.

I agree. Would've liked to have seen home/away options, but I'm more excited for the new brands and equipment options.
