Not looking good so far with all the No's. So far it seems I won't be getting the game until the price drops this year. I couldn't see myself skipping '16 to wait for '17 with the fact that I haven't wanted to touch '15 the last couple of months. Of course, it's early and they haven't really revealed anything, but little things like not being able to argue with umpires and even no tattoos rub me wrong.
 
# 42 bxphenom7 @ 01/13/16 11:47 PM
And extensive stat tracking please! lol

They didn't say you couldn't argue with the umpires they said that you couldn't go all WWE on them and beat them up

I wouldn't look too much in to the nos especially since the answer to some of the questions were pretty obvious. I would at least wait until the fact sheet comes out.

2K16 is why.

The Expos situation didn't have anything to do with why ASB had expansion mode. The Expos relocated, that wasn't expansion. The last time expansion happend was the late 90's with the Rays and Dbacks.

This is a bit unfair because you're purposefully picking out the things that have not been added to fit a theory rather than vice versa. A more complete accounting would acknowledge the Human IK/improved animations, upgraded material texture, additions to franchise mode (whatever they are...), retractable roofs--plenty of things people have been interested in are actually being added.

This game looks & plays perfectly but the lack of presentation variety always starts to make everything stale after a few months of playing.
I may be alone here, but I played a full 162 with the Marlins and never got tired of the radio show. I'm sure it could be improved, but it beats the nothingness we had last year.

This is what I would have asked about.

A little thing that would actually be quite useful. It would be easier this way as you wouldn't have to memorize TC1, TC2, TC3...

Any word on stat-tracking Ramone? I'd ask on Twitter, but I'm an old fogie who doesn't roll like that. Without spilling the beans too much and too soon, is a WAR stat included this year?
 
# 49 ozcore @ 01/14/16 01:59 AM
i was curious if the new d-backs uniform made it in
 
# 50 WaitTilNextYear @ 01/14/16 02:09 AM
Can't say I'm too thrilled about this exchange...

Throws a bit of cold water on '16 as far as I'm concerned.

I'm curious as to why this dampens your excitement? Just having to wait for OSFM again?


On a different note, I completely agree with you about the radio show. I'm in my 3rd season now and still find it quite enjoyable as it's on in the background while I'm checking stats/lineups/minors/etc.

No, it's not the waiting. It's just when you invest 100's of hours in editing a roster, it's tiresome doing it over and over again. I've helped make a hybrid roster 2 years running and it's a lot of work and I'm not sure why SDS keeps making us do over--they certainly know about OSFM. It would be nice if they'd explain to us why roster carryover is not feasible, exactly. Roster carryover would save tons of people here tons of time.
 
# 53 KingsDream @ 01/14/16 03:22 AM
Does anybody know if the "foul ball" camera will be back in this year ? They removed it last year... I really like that feature and hope it returns !!!!!

I watched every twitch live feed last year and Ramone did say in one of those they were hoping to have that in but didnt have enough time on 15, but now were still not getting it on 16?

Getting WAR implemented might be tough because it encompasses defense in the formula. Would be cool if they did implement it tho.
 
# 57 Joedw @ 01/14/16 08:26 AM
I would actually love it if we could plaster the outfield walls with sponsors, or even the large scoreboards. It would just be aesthetically pleasing seeing the sponsors making a larger impact on the presentation side of things.

I love your roster and what I would highly suggest is you update the transactions from the winter meetings and up through spring training and upload a 2016 version of it.

Then you can simply start a new franchise on 15 and save that as a master file and then carry over that master file to 16 and start a new franchise. That is at least a viable solution till/if we get roster transfer.

Plus I know you can export all the players and then import them to a new roster so a lot of work can be avoided. Many roster makers did that with classic rosters and simply "ported" them from 14 onto 15 using this method. Still work, but the creation process was drastically cut down.

Anyway I know I am going to use the most updated hybrid roster I can find and go forward with that on 16 (plus transfer all my classic roster files) instead of waiting 4 months.
 
# 59 Ed21 @ 01/14/16 09:25 AM
All I want is New Balance and Adidas cleats and I'll be happy. Would also like the option to put some of those sponsors around the stadium. Having some Nike, UA, Marucci logos around the outfield and stadium would add to the realism.

LOL, that's by your own choice though.
