Re: MLB 15 The Show Fact Sheet - Gameplay Reveal Scheduled For February 5th on Twitch

As a roster creator (finishing 1987 90 man as I type) is there any mention of exporting rosters from franchise mode? I mean I would love to carry this over to put in new gear and short stirrup socks and keep perfecting it. ANy mention of it whatsoever? Thanks for any information, and no I did not read all 52 pages.

Short answer is no. If this were a feature it would be proudly mentioned IMO.

Ramone,

Are you able to talk about whether or not the AI has been improved in how they use their bullpen? Biggest being them utilizing lefty vs lefty matchups and such.

It's not just bullpen usage. The cpu ai will also do things like burn both their catchers in late game situations, forcing them to put an out of position player there, pinch run for a guy on first when the winning run is on second, etc.

I'm a huge fan of this series, but late game strategy is such a huge part of baseball, and a bonehead move by the cpu can take the shine off of a beautiful baseball experience.

What I've lobbied for in the past is the ability to effectively manage your cpu opponent. Kind of combining manage only mode with the user vs cpu mode. Probably simpler than adding code for every possible ai management decision.

We have the ability to control almost every aspect of a season or franchise mode for the cpu with 30 team control. Let's take it one step further and allow the user to help the cpu manager out a little bit.

Agreed. Hopefully CPU AI In-Game management is an area that was addressed for this year's game.

yeah this is what sucks.. all the roster makers have to do the same work again and again year after year, until we have a export player option cross playform. it's a shame really coz it takes a good month for OSFM to be done where it could be done in a week if exporting was there.

I'm trying to force myself to stop playing 14 haha. I've never played any sports game extensively once the real season has ended before 14, but I want to get as hyped as possible for a fresh 15!

I've got a fun/legitimate question for Knight, Showtyme and other vets. How hyped are you after this years fact sheet compared to the many years you've played The Show? For me I'm very very excited. I always love the Show but last two years I wasn't AS excited but this year I'm like let's go!! Ha. Just curious about the vets anticipation compared to previous years just for the fun sake of discussion!

I'm looking forward to a lot of things, but I'm perhaps intrigued the most by what B Ma has whipped up for Dynamic Difficulty 2.0. I just hope he explains it in terms us meager humans can understand.

Sorry I posted multiple times on here about the retractable roof issue! Jeez, I guess it isn't a big issue with people like I thought. Not having the retractable roof option isn't a deal breaker,I think it's always been a great! The reason I went back to Playstation was because of the Show! I'm just frustrated that year after year there is no option of playing with the roofs closed,and there always some reason why they aren't! Sorry to beat a dead horse everybody and gripe. Apparently I ticked some people on Operation Sports.

Are there any plans to include a Draft Share feature, similar to NBA 2k? It would be a great addition to the vault. I know it's not happening this year, but would be a nice future addition. Would give Knight and company a bit more to do.

I would LOVE a feature such as this where you could create your own draft class and then upload into the vault to share.

This is the improvement I'm most interested in too. Along with how certain outcomes won't be spoiled by AI reactions and the new Trade Finder.

I am loving the addition of the trade finder.

So much goodness in that fact sheet.

I hope there you can track stats throughout a players career in the show
Also, it would be cool to see a pitchers ground ball % in his stats
Other than that, it all sounds amazing!

Same career stat tracking they said. Its been the same since 2006 or 07.
