ASB 05 had this and it was awesome.. maybe one day we can have expansion mode... and maybe then we will have it... with a voice over from a MLB star

face scans take place every year.. but they dont get in that year... if you scan a players face it will appear in the next years version... i know they should have some mobile version of this thing and be able to trave annd get every player in every year... oh wait that makes sense and making sense in business now a days is forbidden from what i have seen over my many years working in my adult life...

This has been explained MANY times over.. Scans take place in spring training, which makes sense, because they only have to go to FL and AZ. Scans taken in ST this year will be in '17. Some players either decline or aren't there...

Trout and Frazier have had generic faces since they've appeared in The Show and do this year as well. Enjoy the game no matter what. SDS does an outstanding job each and every year, the best at what they do. Applause again for the team at SDS

It's not that SDS doesn't want to get the players scanned. It's up to the players if they want to get scanned. SDS can't force them too.

Other sports games don't have top rookies going down into a subordinate league for multiple years before they ever touch the actual league. SCEA does not have rights to use minor league players.

Really I feel like the easiest solution to this is just buy the minor league licenses for the player association and the stadiums. Take some of that DD money and do something nice with it

Minor league clubs, while affiliated with a MLB club, are completely separately owned and run. They are not part of a collective group as the MLB is and can't be bargained with collectively. They would have to be bargained with individually.

Before you ask, I can't answer how the Show is able to use their logo's and uniforms, maybe someone can answer that for me, but if curious for confirmation you can do a google search which will confirm what I said above.

There is no such a thing.

"Virtual seat spectator mode, rain delays, groundskeeper mini game, umpire heat strokes."

Just some of the things I've heard this past month LOL.

All of the announced classic stadiums are on the disc. It's never been implied otherwise.

I'm wondering what year in the evolution of each stadium is represented in the game because dimensions changed over time in those classic stadiums.

What is wrong with rain delays? Rain plays a big part in a sport that is played in the Spring.

I'm not saying that there should be 45 minute delays. What I'm saying is that there should be:

A. Dynamic weather. A huge part of any outdoor sport is changing weather conditions. For example, a game that starts sunny but then get light drizzle late in the game.

B. Short rain delay cutscenes (tarps getting rolled out, etc.)

C. Games should be able to get delayed/rained out in season mode. If this happens, the game would be rescheduled. Or played later that day, which would be a perfect way to show off the new time of day lighting and shadowing they added to this game.

All of these things happen in the real MLB and need to be in a simulation game.

I don't want to make a new thread for a couple questions, so I figured Id ask them here.

1.Anyone tell me if we can see foul balls go into the crowd this year??
2.can you see the flight of the ball come off the bat when you are on defense?? (I know last year they made it so you can see this while on offense. loved it.)
3. Can we use rosters from last years game?? example. I use fictional players. I wanted to use a fictional roster somebody made for mlb 15 last year?? is that possible, instead of making a whole new one this year.

thanks

# 79 Factzzz @ 03/17/16 09:40 AM

Another pitching delivery ruined with Matt Harvey.

I seriously hope they get someone different to mocap deliveries next year, because they've taken a pretty large step back the last 2 years.

1. I believe you will see a FEW more this year, IIRC.
2. That would it make it more difficult to play defense, especially on hard it balls. Unless, you're playing auto-fielding. Even then it could effect reaction time for preloading throws, of hard hit balls. Unless of course, you are using auto throw too.
3. [Sorry, you've reached your couple question limit]
