Russell... Any chance you can tell us the brands for batting and fielding gloves?

seems like no one has even begun to mention the Manager challenge system.. on close calls... is NO ONE interested in this???

No, I'd rather the game just get the calls right. Variable strikezones I like. But if a player is out at a base, I want it called correctly. I don't want to have to go through a menu to challenge a play.

updated original post with most of Russell's Q&A's thus far

Thanks for that, tons of pages to go through otherwise. Much appreciation!

We won't have to go through a menu, see my post above on replay.

As a math teacher, I feel obliged to statistically report that at least one individual before you has mentioned said feature within the confines of this thread.

Math, my worst subject... Algebra and long division in Braille is horrible! But I digress.

Count me in on interested in the addition of the Challenge System.

It happens IRL.....I don't mind it in the game. In fact...I welcome umpire error in the game as you see it happen quite often and to ignore it would be a bit hypocritical.
Everyone screams they want "the real thing"....

If I lose a game on a missed call....would I be pissed?...Yep. But I get a bit po'ed when the Mets lose a game on a bad call...so....


Too..."robotic" otherwise IMO

I believe the way it's set up, you won't have to go thru a menu. It's somewhat in 'real-time'. It's not like on Madden where you have to pause, go to the option, then challenge.

That would be good if the system is required. I wonder if I can I watch the replay a few times before deciding on challenging like in real life by doing a mound visit? lol

Hopefully it's an option to keep variable strike zones but have accurate out plays on the basepaths.

I like that the crowd will now sit in more realistic areas if it isn't a sellout

Anybody know anything about this general manager contracts thing? I prefer to pick a team that I think will be fun to play with and then want to stick with them - not get fired and basically destroy my franchise because I built a team to my liking instead of a fictional owner's liking.


I think but am not sure that you just get offers in FIFA but don't have to leave and won't get fired but I'm not sure.

• would like to hear how the "Franchise Mode Refresh" ties into online leagues/franchise
• "Inside the show" is this available for online leagues
• Instant Replay/Challenge System available for online

Re: MLB 15 The Show Fact Sheet

I played RTTS a lot last year and I got so tired of runners that I couldn't control being thrown out at home on my base hits. So many times I'd single to the outfield and my teammate on 2nd would run home and be thrown out. I basically had to have a guy on third for me to expect an RBI unless I got one in the gap. I'm not sure if it was a problem with runner speed, throw speed, or throw accuracy, but I'd expect more runners scored from 2nd with hits to the outfield. I didn't have that problem when I played exhibition or franchise games and I controlled the runners.

Any other RTTS'ers have this issue? Do you think this upgrade will address this:

New speed paradigm for fielders and base runners
