Any new sliders aside from the Dynamic Difficulty "adapt rate" slider (I don't know what else to call it), and the speed sliders being broken up into IF and OF?

Echo H & V for more info on Dynamic Difficulty too.

I saw:
Fielding errors (outfield/infield)
Throwing errors(outfield/infield)
Arm strength (outfield/infield)

Does timing hitting still have the random PCI?

PCI has been removed for timing. It did not need to be there.

Re: MLB 15 The Show (Community Day Gameplay Q&A Thread)

last year a few slap hitters, IE Billy Hamilton, Dee Gordon and Ichiro to name a few their follow through was as if they were lunging at the ball and would corkscrew their bodies. Changing stances etc had no effect. With it being Japanese and slap hitter swing types now being selectable hoping this as been resolved? Did you get a chance to see improved slap hitters?

I did not have time to investigate this sorry.

I did not check, I use manual fielding. Maybe one of the other guys used auto fielding.

That blue circle showed up with auto fielding on but manual throwing on. Pure auto fielding and auto throw had no blue circles.

I would also like to know if that blue circle was removed with auto fielding/manual throwing.

Can you talk about the hitting and pitching interfaces? What is changed, remained and removed? How new possibilities work?

Re: MLB 15 The Show (Community Day Gameplay Q&A Thread)

No problem, thanks for replying. Related to the directional hitting - did you notice if we can "inside out" a pitch now?

I had a few of them using the mechanic.

Does the PCI still show up in the swing feedback though? I use a clean screen when I hit but have swing feedback turned on as I like to see that. It would show the size of the PCI. and where it was on the swing even on timed hitting.

Thanks Nemesis!

How is the base running? I use auto base running and it seems like on the default sliders runners either stop at third when running from second, or get gunned down at home plate when they go for it. It seemed like last year a runner on 2nd wasn't actually in scoring position. Is this any better?

Can the visual aids of directional hitting (yellow bars) be turned off for a clean screen.

How was the commentary? Did it liven the gameplay experience up at all?

I did not see an option in the settings to be honest. I could have missed it but I don't remember seeing it. There should be an option imo, I will see if I can check.

That would fall under presentations sorry!

Awesome, thank you! Really appreciate you taking the time to do this.

Did you feel as though there were more doubles as that felt like it was lacking last year (except for in the gaps, there were none). Also, what do you mean by the batted ball speed being "more organic"?
