I gotta say those were some pretty terrible questions being asked.

You're basing your decision to not buy on a colossal feature that was never expected to make it in anyways? Sad......

Your loss. Most of us will be enjoying another stellar version of the best (imo) annual sports franchise out there.

# 105 dalger21 @ 01/15/16 07:33 AM

Has there been a date set for the annual release of the new features released (forget the actual name for it) and dev streams?

# 106 Ebpmd @ 01/15/16 08:50 AM

Russell... unrelated to the create a stadium. Will we ever be able to turn off retired numbers? Many of us play w/ historic roster and not being able to use correct jersey numbers takes away from the experience. Is this an issue w/ MLB and your agreement w/ them?

I second that.

Playing exclusively with analog controls, the absence of stride in MLB15 made me skip that game, hoping they would bring it back in MLB 16.

As far as i know, there's no mention of a possible return of the stride (as it was in 14), and that makes me just sad. They removed something that worked well, and there was no need to remove it in the first place.

If there's no stride on 16, i may pick 15 just to play a few games because it's price dropped.

For me, this wad a huge letdown. While people complain about cosmetics, i just want a gameplay mechanic that feels right. Is it too much?

# 108 Ebpmd @ 01/15/16 10:52 AM

Only work around is the player with the retired number can wear it. Mantle can be #7. I found this to work for all teams. Issues when there are 2 players w/ same number retired. Ex. Cubs # 31. Jenkins can wear yet Maddox cannot. As a late 70's Yankees fan this totally ruined playing as them with last years '78 roster. I can appreciate the MLBs respect for the history of the game, yet this is a video game and having Craig Nettles in a number other than #9 isn't respectful to the game either??? Even if retired numbers were blocked with current rosters but available for created rosters?

Couldn't be more wrong.

As awesome as a stadium creator would be, I would honestly be perfectly happy with this. Just like 5-10 different generic MLB sized stadiums similar to how they do the minor league parks. And if possible, maybe a handful of options (seat color, grass pattern, ability to place a team logo, etc.) just to add a little personalization, but nothing too major.

Its like the entire gaming industry took a giant step backwards as far as features go. Yeah the graphics are better but so what. Theres no meat to these games anymore. I buy this game every year but its only for the new rosters. I feel like I'm buying he same game every year. Really disappointing.

It's called 'competition is good for the consumer'. Now, it's apparently acceptable to keep the same player models since the PS2 days. And yes, I know they are higher resolution, but they are, literally, the same player models. I cannot justify spending $60 for retractable roofs and a roster update.

Hey, they might get around to updating those around, oh...2025 or so. Gotta make sure those beards are perfect, though!

Without an expansion mode pre-built generic stadiums would be a waste of developer time. I'd settle for the ability to rename and replace an existing team and move into a classic stadium.

I liked the NCAA football game's teambuilder feature where you could "create" everything yourself on a computer and then import it into the game and replace an existing school with your own creation but the lawyers shut down all the college games. I'm sure baseball stadiums are more complicated than a football field because the football field dimensions don't change.

I'll still support the show even if they ignore all my suggestions.

# 114 Ebpmd @ 01/15/16 01:03 PM

Even if not a "team builder" feature (which I'd love)... a rebranding feature like they put into NBA 2k16. I've been having a blast recreating historic teams, uniforms and arenas. Again baseball may be a bit more difficult since stadium dimensions vary stadium to stadium but how difficult would it be to allow us to choose one of say 5 generic stadiums and gives us the ability alter dimensions, wall height and a few other things? I still hoping one day???

# 115 Flaxseed Oil @ 01/15/16 01:11 PM

I wonder if I will be able to open my PS4 '16 version franchise saves on '15 PS3 and Vita versions of the game? That would be dope!

That is literally 100% incorrect.

thinking you might want to go ahead and jog your memory by watching some old clips of PS2 MLB The Show...

Which would mean some of our artists, programmers, and designers would work for a whole year on something you wouldn't see for two years. Then some would complain and say we didn't do enough in the year you didn't get the feature. It would also mean during the year there wouldn't be any or as many new minor league/classic stadiums released. We have a pretty good idea of the type of create-a-stadium feature the masses would enjoy. And we rarely put features out that we don't feel are up to our internal standards. We also must weight that enormous task with how many people would actually use it. Also the "it was in MVP argument" is like comparing apples to an iphone 6. The asset size differences from a PS2 game to a PS4 game alone are enormous. Not to mention a smorgasbord of other technical hurdles. Hope this helps everyone understand a bit more.

This is what I love about SCEA as their transparency and willingness to show/prove their logic is near unasailable continues to keep my faith that the game will always improve YOY.

The problem lies within that statement though.

The player models look so similar from previous versions, that people are going to make erroneous statements like that, until something is truly done about the player models.

Not just the minor improvements we've seen like better skin color.
