    Re: MLB 15 The Show Fact Sheet

    Gameplay Improvements
    (PS4 & PS3 Only)
    Advanced AI logic results in outfielders taking more realistic routes to the ball
    Upgraded motion system allows for dynamic speed matching from run to catch to throw
    User controlled cut offs
    All new slide and tag system
    New speed paradigm for fielders and base runners
    Enhanced ball physics for pop ups, fly balls, and shots into the gap

    New situational base covering intelligence allows for new animations to play when a player has time or is in a hurry to get to his base.
    More than 70 new situational third out fielding animations
    New Input Type option for hitting
    We’ve separated swing input as a separate option



    Licensed Equipment
    (PS4 & PS3 Only)
    For the first time ever MLB The Show will include licensed equipment from some of the most recognizable brands in baseball. Earn as you play to enhance your RTTS or Diamond Dynasty players and partner with iconic brands by bringing sponsorships to your Franchise team! (Equipment on PS3 version is not seen during gameplay.)

    Graphical Improvements
    (PS4 Only)
    Real-time seasonal sun and shadows
    Player Skin tone realism. More variations of skin tones with gloss and specular improvements
    Revamped Night lighting
    More accurate and photorealistic rendering system
    PS4 gets 10 more Minor League stadiums

    Franchise Mode Refresh
    (PS4, PS3, VITA)
    With the addition of General Manager Contracts, you now have to consider Ownership Expectations when running your team, and your performance will determine the job offers that come your way. Building a championship-caliber team is more fun and dynamic than ever before, with the new Performance-based Player Progression, as well as much improved Trade and Contract logic. Partner up with Brand Sponsors, giving your broadcast elements an official sponsor and earn some extra dough to spend on your team.


    Players and teams get Personality: Aesthetics and Emotion
    (PS4 & PS3 Only)
    Players on the field get improvements to show their individuality. (Necklaces, Tilted caps, etc..) Real-time situational/emotional AI scenes (dugouts, crowd, etc..) have also been added, and more Team and Player celebrations.

    New Slide Step System
    (PS4 & PS3 Only)
    Perform a slide step while pitching to combat pitchers with a slow delivery to the plate, or runners who consistently get great jumps. This “game within a game” creates a risk/reward factor when performing a slide step. The pitcher will now have less control and slightly less velocity when a slide step is executed, but will be quicker to the plate. As a runner, you now have to worry about your opponent using a slide step when you are attempting a steal.

    Improved strike zone accuracy with new pitch locations for on-the-black calls and borderline balls & strikes
    Improved hit call accuracy through new field zone locations and deeper parameter logic
    Improved runner rounding base and runner scoring content for more exciting big-play calls
    Improved deep fly ball logic that allows more diverse calls on potential home runs, and prevents the user from hearing calls that give away the play result before it occurs
    Improved foul ball logic to allow for open-ended play-by-play on playable or nearly playable balls, prevents user from hearing calls that give away the result
    New system for handling safe result calls that includes proper acknowledgement of the runner’s slide type


    Instant Replay Challenge System
    (PS4 & PS3 Only)
    The MLB’s Instant Replay protocols are now in The Show. Certain plays give users an opportunity to challenge the outcome of a close play.


    New Home Run Derby Format

      The one thing - the only thing - I'm wondering at this point is if the frame rate issues have been ironed out. Everything else sounds absolutely phenomenal.

        This was from that other thread, I think it deserves another round of laughs lol

            Lots of good stuff here (editable contracts is a HUGE and unexpected win for me).

            I'm hoping deeper year-to-year stat tracking and catcher gear were addressed as well, though the fact that so much in those areas were addressed without their mention makes me think they weren't.

                    Looking good overall.

                    Would like to have seen "improved uniform textures ie: scripts/numbers" mentioned but might have done that anyway.

                    And obviously the glaring omission Is retractable/closed roofs

                    Very excited about the franchise revamp.

                      If retractable roofs was not in the facts sheet, i doubt it made it into the game....


                      Just saw Russell's post. Maybe next year!

                        I understand that pretty much everything is in the fact sheet, but does this mean another year of stat tracking for me? The fact sheet looks amazing, I just wish I could enjoy the show with statistics and how they heavily influence baseball

                          I don't see any mention of Online Franchise....was it improved?


                          Or scratched altogether?


                          Thanks.

                            Russell,

                            Are retractable roofs giving you guys trouble? Is it a hardware limitation? Just curious if this is something you had planned to get in this year, but couldn't for some reason? Could we see it in 16? Anyways, the facts sheet looks great! You guys outdo yourselves every year! Congrats and take my money now!!!!!!

                                Hope they added the full career stats & each team played for on the player card. That would be perfect.
