Re: MLB 15 The Show Stream - Licensed Equipment, Universal Rewards & Diamond Dynasty

I need/want more info on the "Rituals". Sounds really interesting, but still not sure exactly what they do/are intended for. If its just a gimmick that's cool too, but I still don't understand what they do for my player.

For the record, yes I am aware what a pre-game ritual is lol. Just not seeing the point of it in the game.

Everything else looks absolutely incredible.

Pretty sure it works just like the equipment. You equip it and it gives you attribute bonuses while adding a little flavor to your RTTS guy.

The main takeaway from this stream for me was that I might actually try Diamond Dynasty this year for the first time.

Wasn't really excited when the licensed equipment announcement was made but seeing it in action is different. I really think it adds a lot more to the presentation and allows the game to look like a real MLB game.

If you look closely when they are in the edit player screens for Adam Jones, it has his contract as editable on the first tab, so it looks like we can edit contracts before entering franchise mode.

Don't know if anyone noticed, but during the DD part of the stream, I caught that they had RP Kirby Yates (Tampa Bay Rays) as a LHP when he is a RHP in real life

Relaying what ty said, I wasn't one of the people asking for new equipment every year. I definitely didn't worry about licensed equipment at all, but seeing it from all the media so far is really exciting. It adds so much more variety in the way everyone looks, keeping things looking "fresh." At a time when a lot of video games are disappointing, it's incredible to literally watch these developers make a game better in so many areas in such little time with such little manpower. I really can't wait to get my hands on this game #baseballisbetter

OH, and when Nick edited Adam Jones' equipment you can see for a second his face and guess what!? NO HORRIBLE BEARD and I noticed someone else mentioned his editable contract showing before entering Franchise mode, which is pretty big news

SCEA should find a way to integrate RTTS salary with the Universal Rewards Stubs. The higher your in game salary the more stubs you get. No so much that it throws things out of whack but just a little something something for your effort.

That way getting offered a huge contract in the game will mean something because it has actual ramifications. Allowing you to buy more equipment and further develop your player. That or increased salary = increased influence/stardom. Fans wearing your jersey, etc.

Would be awesome for MLB 16 if career achievements like breaking MLB records won you specific rare "Double Diamond" items that could only be unlocked by achieving those accomplishments. Ex. Win MVP - now you have the MVP ring in your ritual items. +10 clutch.

Break the home run record -the record breaking ball is added to your ritual items and gives you some hitting bonus whether it's equipped or not. Or you unlock one extra ritual slot or something.

I remember reading somewhere about this, maybe the community day thread although that is for gameplay. Maybe it was in the chat. Anyways hopefully it is in the final game and not just in the dev build they used.

I haven't seen an option for baserunner gloves Only the wrist guard

I love the random starting pitcher feature for DD. Will this be used for traditional online modes, or maybe an option for the host to set? That would be amazing!

No, unless something has changed I don't believe you can.
