IGN has posted another MLB The Show 16 livestream (archive here). This one features Ramone and Lance going over the Conquest and Battle Royale modes. Check it out and post your thoughts.
I am not sure if it's because I have never played Risk or any "Turn based strategy" game before for that matter. But I still remain a bit perplexed with the Conquest mode. Actually I don't think I have ever been so perplexed/intrigued about anything before. I was hoping during that IGN stream they would remain on the map of the States longer and truly explain it in more detail. Maybe this is just me though? I am sure some of you out there understand it completely, and if thats the case, do you mind taking a moment and explaining it.
Yeah, the twitch stream is still on. I can't imaging there is a lot more to show us. They will probably go through a draft again in BR. I hope they go into a little more detail on the different phases of Conquest.
I expect the majority of the stream to be the completion of the Dev tourney.

I don't imagine the likeness of the Homerun King comes cheap. Probably coulda got that Bonds guy cheaper.
Who's this "Bonds" you're referring to? I do imagine the likeness of the Homerun King is quite valuable. I hope the Show can make a deal with the Aaron Estate at some point.

Estate? WTF? Hammering Hank is alive and 82 years old, my man. Unless I missed something recently?

Estate, lawyers, whoever makes the deal. I am sure Hank (the home run king! with the most home runs of any real player) has someone representing a deal like this and its not him on the phone when Sony calls. Gee whiz I never said he was dead!
Lol still the greatest Home Run hitter of all time, and HOF caliber before the alleged steroid era of his career. Can't wait to unlock him and smash HR's with him. You will probably have to get a crazy amount of HR's throughout DD to unlock him.

In my opinion, the mode looks like a variation on the board game Risk. If you're not familiar with it, there are numerous free online clones as well as mobile apps where you can learn to play. Instead of armies, MLB the Show has "fans" which are used to conquer adjacent tiles. The goal is to gain as many tiles as possible.
