You know, I don't think this has come up that I've heard/seen with MLB 16 info so far. Maybe it will be asked/answered this week in the Q&A tomorrow or presentation stream on Thursday? Its a good idea to have other cams for player lock, though I don't really care myself.

Hopefully it made it in. Been excited for it since it was said to be a "possibility" for '16

If not It won't hamper my enjoyment. Just something I wanted. These guys do some great work and am very appreciative.

They said in today's stream that they worked on a couple new fielding cams, but they didn't work like they wanted so they did not make it in. Didn't say if they were for player lock/rtts or not. But no new fielding cams in this year's game.

Well technically it wouldn't be a new cam but the ability to lock on any cam and not just RTTS cam.

Release day will come soon enough to find out I guess

Showtime pitching looks very powerful. Every pitch thrown with it ends up being a strike either swinging or looking. Haven't seen anyone make contact with it.

Think it's more around 3-4 depending on if in RTTS how many Perks are equiped. But with Showtime Fielding or Hitting you can still throw the ball away or swing and miss so the Pitching Showtime being untouchable is like i said very powerful.

Around 11 minutes in he throws 3 pitches with it. 2 fouls and a popup.
