Re: I'm most excited about...

I'm so excited for radio show, revamped commentary, and just baseball in general!! I'm the kind of guy who watches every Yanks spring training game! Yes, I said watch!

I do the same with the Cardinals. I LOVE baseball

Re: I'm most excited about...

Im another guy who watches as many spring training games as possible, Twins games for me.

Im very much looking forward to the radio show aspect. I listen to baseball on the radio a lot, both Twins and since Im out of market, Cardinals games too (have connections in MO and want to move back there.) Looking forward to new animations too. The Show does so much right but having a breath of fresh air in the way things look might be nice.

Aldon, do you use mlb.tv? the radio overlay is worth the $124 a year alone!

Re: I'm most excited about...

1. Year to Year save working as advertised for Franchise/Season/RTTS

2. Overhauled Franchise Mode

3. Radio Show

4. Improved fielding, tagging system, and directional hitting (if it can be used on timed hitting)

5. Improved real time lighting effects.


I am hoping we hear about the continued evolution of Quick Counts...that would skyrocket up the charts for me. I absolutely love that feature on 14.

Re: I'm most excited about...

I'm excited for the a couple of things. The Overhauled Franchise mode, Human IK engine, Radio Show, and Improved lighting.

Re: I'm most excited about...

I don't use quick counts, guess I'm a baseball purest!

Re: I'm most excited about...

I am also excited about revamped franchise. Ready to hear what it entails.

Gotta feeling we're getting news this week... My feelings are usually good, lol, I have an amazing ability to call home runs!

Re: I'm most excited about...

I have to be honest, I think the only thing I'd ever use with the year-to-year save transfer is Road to the Show. I like what the Cubs have done in the offseason and want to play with those players.

I dont use mlb.tv but I do us the atmlb app on the phone. I work a lot of afternoon/evenings so the game would be wrapping up by the time I got home so not sure I could justify the price. But I can listen to the radio at work so I can still get full games that way.

I hope so, but my gut tells me no. We may not hear anything more until the fact sheet hits. Will that be February?

February is definitely possible for the fact sheet. We got the fact sheet in February last year I believe. Although it was under different circumstances last year with the late release on both platforms. I'd say the latest the fact sheet drops is the week players start reporting to camp in mid to late February.

Re: I'm most excited about...

As with every year:
I'm excited about reading the fact sheet, then viewing the HD screenshots, then the HD videos, then the HD gameplay videos. I love to save the HD screenshots and HD videos to a thumb drive then go home and watch them on my TV via usb...it's equivalent to "hitting the crackpipe"...As new HD screenshots and HD videos get released, I continue my drug habit until the game is released and finally get to insert the game disc (i'm old school, i still love the tangible disc) then shortly I OD because it's quickly apparent that all those screenshots and videos I watched didn't do the game justice now seeing the game in motion.

Re: I'm most excited about...

I hope they change the scouting this year. I love the way it is now, don't get me wrong. However, I would like to see more variety as far as using 2-8 scale, over/under valuing players, etc. That would allow for some teams to draft busts if they do not do their proper homework. Also, I hope they expand the rounds. I understand baseball has so many rounds as it is, but 10 full rounds would be ideal as it will allow us to select guys who are raw, but may have solid potential.


Also, international signings would be amazing.

Re: I'm most excited about...

I'm most excited about the Year-to-Year saves, so I can import my 3 RTTS players that I have in MLB 14 The Show, 2 which are in the Majors, a Left Fielder and a Closer, the one that is still in the Minors is a Second Baseman.
