If your meaning if the schedule will mimic real life schedules in year to year saves then no. They've already said it will continue to make its own schedules with the franchise you already started year after year like it has in previous versions.

No I mean will the inter league schedule rotation be correct in consequent years within franchise.

Edit: which actually thinking about your answer makes me think it hasn't been resolved and is another legacy issue.

Look at their numbers from last year when they were both healthy.
Pretty close...

Bumgarner was another beast in the postseason, and for that I think their clutch rating should be different....

Overall, I think they should be in fact rated the same however.

Jose Fernandez was a 94 last year while Bumgarner was an 89. I'm having a hard time understanding why Fernandez dropped, unless his entire '14 season was thrown out and his durability was reduced. It just doesn't add up.

I can see Bumgarner getting a boost but only a marginal one - More K's and less walks, but more HR's and a higher AVG against... And if you want to get ultra technical about clutch, he had a 0.19 clutch rating in ~52 IP in the playoffs, extrapolate that to a full season and you get ~0.8, which make him about as clutch as Aaron Harang was during the regular season.

But I'm not sweating it, I'm not invested in either team. Just making an observation.

Tbh at first glance it looks as if ratings as a whole have been dropped a bit this year. Obviously I haven't seen all teams but it seems there were less 90'S. More 80's and alot more 70s. Could be wrong though.

The more i think about it the more the radio show is not worth the time, money or effort, think about it, in mlb 14 the show they tried to speed the game up by adding quick counts, now after every game add another 10 minutes to listen to the radio show, so lets say i only want to hear the radio show once every other day, on the days i dont listen to the radio show will thhere be a update bar at the bottom of the screen so i could just read the scores or milestones like last year? Its almost like Mlb adding more and different challenges and then adding pace of play changes, it kinda counteracts the whole point in my opinion, having said all that, i will give it a chance, if you want people truly engaged in there franchises then get a baseball tonight type tv show with scores and all that, like a certain football game used to do in 2005. Thanks

Not gonna lie when I first heard they were gonna do a show I thought it was going to be something like NBA 2K has with Shaq and Ernie which I love, but I think this is definitely a good platform to start and build off of. Who knows maybe next year they will have it where you can actually watch top plays from the games or the top 10 plays of the week and this guy is broadcasting it while it shows. That would be pretty sweet.

I would suggest doing something like that while the game loads but with the new and improved load times you wouldn't be able to watch much.

I don't think you are forced to listen to it. I got the impression watching the live stream that the Radio show was something they manually kicked off when they wanted to listen to it and not something that played automatically.

I think it's auto...but it's only on the front end.
It will play as long as you're doing something like looking at league leaders...standings......scores.......trades, etc.

If it's not something you are looking to hear about....go into a game...it stops.

You could be right, I'd have to watch the stream again and take some notes lol

You can x through it if you do not feel like listening to it.

You click down on R3 as you would when skipping a soundtrack song.

I just love how these guys enjoy baseball. Watching them play the game was a joy because they really enjoy the game. They're not just trying to make money off us. They wanna make the game enjoyable for themselves as well. I can truly appreciate that.

Next year or through a post-launch patch, I hope we see the Radio Show become customizable.

I'd like to be able to choose which teams I get updates from.

Options like:

- My Team Only

- Specific Division

- AL

-NL

-All

I believe you can turn it off or on, but if you turn the radio show off will the scrole on the bottom have all the info on injuries, milestones and stuff like that?

Re: MLB 15 The Show Livestream - Franchise Improvements, Inside the Radio Show & More

So If I were to use legends in Franchise mode and place them on their correct teams, will they have their correct number? Because I know a lot of these guys number is retired and you can't use retired numbers in past years games.

With as good as the game looks it's odd that the sky is pitch black at night with not one star in sight. How about we get that fixed. Beautiful clouds during the day but nothing happening in the sky at night.

Ambient light. This is also why city backdrops don't look as lit up as well.

Also, I like how they have narrowed the field of view. Now the pitcher looks more "on top of" the batter. I always wanted this in the custom camera options to change that (much like we can in replay). Although that's probably not an option there, at least it's closer now so the effect is still essentially what I'm looking for!
