That doesn't mean they can't answer the question. They know if it will happen or not.

The question has been answered over and over and over again.

The biggest thing that I'm hoping for is that the interleague schedules rotate in franchise mode.

I've been buying this game faithfully without hesitation since 2007 in the PS2 days. That being said, there is definitely some hesitation this year regarding a definite purchase by me.

Franchise. This area of the game NEEDS to show me some sort of significant improvement. I'll be very clear - the gameplay is almost flawless, and the best out of any sports game. BUT The Show, for me personally in terms of Franchise Mode (I don't play DD or even RTTS for that matter), becomes very stale for me about a month or so into actually playing the game. The game has just been quite stagnant. Little changes within that don't play more into the big picture. I'm very eager to see what they've specifically have done to Franchise this year.

I know RTTS is probably the most played mode according to their statistics, but I truly feel like Franchise Mode needs the attention it deserves, I feel like its long overdue. I'm not sure exactly what that would entail, but the mode desperately needs some new ideas or something. It becomes the same old, same old. I do enjoy the Radio Show, but I feel like I need more interaction within my team - e.g. setting prices (as others here have stated) to different areas was such an incredibly simple way to make me feel like I was actually diving into a different area of the mode like I was able to, I don't know, "get on the fan level". It's the little things, little areas of the mode within Franchise that I feel a lot of us would benefit from and make us feel like a part of the bigger picture instead of just ....offseason, contracts, draft, ST, play a few games here and there, trades, etc etc.

I guess what I'm getting at, is that while it's nice to be able to do all these GM sort of things and be in control of the team we play as, I'd like to be more in charge of the little things. Stadium upgrades like "Your video board in CF appears to have missing pixels and needs an upgrade....would you like to etc or etc" ... "Word has been getting around from our fans in the bleacher sections that there aren't enough vendors in the area, would you like to hire more [select from different sorts of vendors]". Even creating your own little made up promotions or events. Such as scrolling over a date on the calendar and having an option to type something in that you made up like "Paratroopers pre-game event", "Joe Smith Day", "Free Hot Dog Day 18 & Under". Things like this.

Didn't mean to derail the thread, but depending on the kinds of things implemented into this years game, will alter for the first time ever whether or not I make the purchase, even with the insane, INSANE level of respect I have for all The Show devs.

That is my question to. This game looks basically like the game did on ps3 but with better lighting. Last gen this game had by far the best graphics of any sports game. Now the game doesn't look even close to has good has nba 2K or NHL and even madden has better graphics now. I fell like this game has gotten stale because game play wise this game has been almost perfect for a while but the graphics are lacking big time and also franchise mode has not really changed much for years now and is still missing the ticket prices stuff that used to be in the game and was taken out years ago. Franchise mode and graphics at this point are really lacking and about the only thing I care about.

Well the only other sports game I play is NHL, and all I know is that the switch from PS3 (NHL 14) to PS4 (NHL 15) was one of the biggest downgrades in gaming history. That game was a joke and a major burn to anyone who bought it day 1, like me. But, you know, updated player models.

# 169 NortheastKid @ 01/17/16 02:52 PM

No expansion, but maybe relocation??

# 170 razorkaos @ 01/17/16 03:00 PM

If the slow motion thing and retractable roofs are the biggest innovations in this year's game, I'll stick to 15.

I'm not complaining about the retractable roofs, or about the bullet time batting... But even if i like presentation improvements, I'll always like gameplay improvements better.

I still can't understand why the stride was removed from the game. I get that they may have wanted to simplify the pure analog batting for newcomers, but removing something that was not an issue, and not even giving us the option to control the stride, i just can't understand this decision.

# 171 ecwcaps @ 01/17/16 03:40 PM

Would love to see the import player into my franchise! I spend way too time making players up myself!

MLB definitely needs a kick in the pants, and some problems are notoriously ancient at this point, but it is steadily going to be among the best looking games at some point. It's just taking a bit. NBA is definitely a driving force with 2k; animations and player models are best in the business now, and it is the game closest to that near photorealism level atm.

Animation wise madden and NHL may not be better but when it just comes to graphics NHL and NBA look photo realistic at times. Mlb not even close and madden while not photo realistic still looks better then Mlb.

Don't want to read through all the comments, but kicked in the nuts by uniform slots being the same. I could stomach it a bit if they'd scrap some never used throwback olds for current uniforms that get left out. Guess I'll be doing my annual errors and omissions thread again

me too there was talk of this last year can't beleive the question wasn't ed on this most of the questions asked were dumb brain dead questions that wree 95% obvious.

it takes a good 1 hour to film a player from a roster then create him in franchise to have a export import button in 4 seconds that would be awesome

This would be nice in Diamond Dynasty too - that is if they will still have Star Players next year.

Not sure how this took an hour unless you meant doing this for a whole team.

I took a Youtube video of DrSublime's Willie McCovey and it took me about 3:30 to record a video of all the menus. Then I had to pause the video at each menu item to manually copy for my Star Player.

I vote for Player and Logo vault preview images!

maybe 30 to 60 mins, my arms hurt taking the video after a while LOL to get all the face and equpemnt right and ratings it does take me a good time for each individual player, hopfully the trick from last year with exporting last years rosters into new roster works again this year, the issue really is when your already started a franchise and want to add someone over a fake player.

I always make service time clones for pitchers and positon players and dumb them in free agents and just call them service time guys, nothing worse then a 35 year old Vet with the R next to their name, another good reason to have import player option otherwise we have to spend a month to get rosters made perfect before starting I like to play and go as I go then burnout myself

# 177 MJDrocks @ 01/17/16 08:19 PM

It appears this version will have very little new features added besides your annual basic upgrades on graphics, physics, and commentary. The franchise announcement I really don't care about unless it's a total new format. Looks like I'm sticking with 15 for quite sometime which I am okay with.

The Human IK stuff might make a big deal in the animation department, and the cloth... whatever the hell they called it might make a big deal in the visual department.

A normal swing is shorter and more compact while a power swing is longer meaning you have to start your swing earlier.

I think this is exactly what the developers were going for when they changed the analog swing mechanics.

Normal: quick, compact swing. Flick up on the stick from resting position.

Power: long swing. Flick up on the stick from the down position, like you're really driving off your back foot.

It's perfect in my opinion.

Just because things weren't mentioned doesn't mean there aren't any improvements, do we really expect a big reveal via twitter?
