I was hoping they would add the gloves with only one finger hole for outfielder gloves as opposed to the open backs like infielder gloves. IMO, makes the two gloves look way too similar.

Yea I was about to bring that up as well. Not sure why those were taken out, unless they didn't scan a model of a glove with a finger hole. They're also missing the trapeze web that is exclusive to outfielder gloves, different from the infielder glove trapeze web.

If that is not in could you please bring back like you did maybe 4 years ago, online teamplay please. I know lots of people that would purchase this amazing game if it were in. Even if it was just for 2v2 would be great, one controls the outfield n the other controls the infield, rotate every other inning to pitch and while batting you go every other at bat. This was a great option when it was available. Madden did the same thing, they had online multi player and it was fantastic. 2v2 or 3v3 was great gaming and a laugh fest. Both The Show and Madden should bring it back for one more year and put out the feelers n get some feedback and decide in the future if its worth it. I have posted on here as well as the Madden forums about this subject and never get an answer as to why it has been removed. It doesn't seem like it would use to much space. It is also a great way to keep in touch with family members/friends who are out of state/country.

I do agree with this 1000 percent. I would love for this feature to be brought back. My friends and I used to love being able to play the entire game together rather than just switching the sticks between pitching and hitting.

I know with all of the amazing updates the team has done, this probably seems like a minor one...but I agree I would love for this to come back. I play NHL almost exclusively with my friends because of that reason. I would love to only play MLB no matter who is over

Great input.

In 16 there was zero difference in the size of the gloves. To give your OFer's the right size glove in 16 you had to give them all the Nike Vapor 360. All other gloves were the 11.5 inch size of the glove.

Granted, it looks like the outfield version is just an enlarged version of the infield glove, but there is a noticeable size difference to make all the gove models passable as outfielder gloves. The thumb and pinky fingers should be longer like that Nike one.

# 105 MauerMorneau09 @ 02/21/17 04:58 PM

Killing two birds with one stone, it would be nice if an outfielder's glove with a trapeze and single finger hole looked like this

Instead of this

If that is the case, then why didn't you mention it before I was asked to prove my stance? I said in my first post that there was a size difference if you compared the gloves in the editor, which there obviously is. One is bigger than the other. The video shows that. The reason I chose to use the editor to show the size difference is because the model pose, camera depth, and positioning are constant. Outside of that, it would be more difficult to prove one way or the other.

If you were talking about there being a discrepancy between what is shown in the editor and what is shown in game, then your stance is completely plausible. There are known bugs between the editor and what's shown in game, it been documented a few times before. But I don't think we are on the same page when it comes to there being a problem with glove sizes or not.

On the subject of stadium errors/inaccuracies, has there been any word on whether or not the ivy at Wrigley will be fixed for the spring months?

It currently shifts from brown to green and then back to brown, etc...seemingly random.

# 108 ElroyJetson @ 02/28/17 08:31 AM

It's not a game killer but have they fixed the height of the numbers on the Yankees jerseys ? They're too low on the back .. lol [emoji14]

The way I have been doing it since they removed without explanation is thru the shareplay feature PS4 thankfully has. Last year we completed an entire season and unfortunately got bounced in the playoffs. This year we are almost at the end of the regular season and playoff bound again...hopefully with less devastating results.

I do the hockey thing as well, same crew since nhl 09 put in the eashl its fantastic fun, which makes my head spin as to why they removed the teamplay from mlb and madden. What I find funny is that while the game is loading, one of the screens that pops up is....Co-op play. What the heck rite? Can't figure that one out for the life of me. anyway, hopefully we get a nice surprise and online co-op is a game mode. If not, just reply here and i can walk you thru on how to do the shareplay thing

Shareplay is great for playing a franchise online with your buds, especially if you are on the same team and like to play together. But even the slightest bit of lag can really disrupt the hitting and pitching for whoever is not hosting the session. For that reason alone it would be nice to have the feature back in.

Do either of you experience bad input lag? I've been doing a franchise through share play with a friend as well, but he gets a ton of input lag when I host the share play and vice versa if he hosts it.

# 113 brindlerednoze @ 03/01/17 10:50 PM

My friend and I have 0 issues with lag. We used to once in a while but then he sad "duh, let me not play wireless" n he plugged back into his router and boooom no problem. He is the host at all times as I am the host when we play as teammates in madden, also with no issues. I will say this, he had some issues with another game just on his own, a friend of his gave him some trouble shooting things to do and it cleared it rite up. The bonus for us in mlb when he did this was a more clear/crisp picture on my end. The pic was always good but now its perfect. I'll hit him up n see what he did and get back to asap

# 114 brindlerednoze @ 03/01/17 11:09 PM

Well I did say asap. What he said is he did thru a thing called "port forwarding". He also said that ur gonna have to do a couple of things with ur router/modem and one thing on ur ps4 dashboard most likely within ur internet settings option. As far as the router/modem thing, ur gonna have to enter some things to "open ports"

I'd say if ur getting old like me

you can either google it, have a friend come by n help, or just take what I've recommended n mess around with it a bit. Hope this helps fellas Playing mlb as teammates is probably the best gaming experience I've ever had, and I am not a fan of baseball whatsoever but this game is perfect
