Because in 14 if you throw directly to homeplate from far in the outfield he throws such a rainbow there isn't even a possibility for a last minute cutoff man to grab it. Maybe this has all been taken care off but I just didn't get the whole idea behind the works yet.

If the situation presents itself meaning the cutoff man is in position and the throw can realistically be cut off, a OSD will come up indicating that it is possible to make one if needed. At that point you can press it or let the throw go through. If you commit, you cannot undo it and let the ball go through. So your situational awareness needs to be high on deciding if you can get the runner at home or need to make the cut to get a runner trying to grab the extra base.

Can't really offer a lot of input because it was being worked on while we were there. Basically instead of pre generated generic tags being applied the system will apply different types of tags based on specific situations. Also, it is AI driven not created by user input.

Contextual based tagging?

The biggest benefit of the dynamic pitch breaks will be better recognition of breaking pitches. As a whole all the pitches have more individuality especially with varying degrees of effort behind them. For the most part that generic feel of pitch types is gone. It should help people who struggle with breaking balls.

I don't recall the off balance stumble, I was trying to get mileage out of the user controlled cutoffs so I hardly let the ball go through if I had the opportunity to cut.

I asked this in another thread but didn't get a response, so I'll shoot it here.

Theoretically, couldn't you port your Franchise or Season save from '14 to '15 and then export rosters, thus basically carrying over your rosters from 14?

Based on the situation and/or slide type the AI should apply the appropriate type of tag.

I dont believe you can "dissect" you roster out of a franchise save.
