    Is that camera angle the default or catcher angle? Definitely want to use what ever camera angle that is. Looks way better!

      I am just replaying the stream from last night. The one thing that stands out for me when Ramone in first segment talks about the year to year save implemented into 15'. That they opened up a couple of packs, so that you can add some equipment brands to your players. That is nice touch that SCEA are doing for us. Good looking...

      My question is, if you buy the 10th anniversary you will have more packs of equipment brands that you can add to your carried over franchise players?

        I noticed that too in what we could see in the teams and rosters they scrolled through in the feed. A LOT more MLB calibur players in the 70's for sure. And a lot more prospects in the 30s and 40's than previous years games. It seems like before, a LOT of prospects often were in the 50's and low 60's to start out. Hopefully this adds to the balance of the gameplay, and also is balanced out in player progression.

        It would stink if all the 30's and 40's rated 18 year old kids were only 50's and 60's by the time they were in their mid 20's. As long as progression represents potential pretty well, it should work fine. Where if an A potential prospect starts as a 45 rated 18 year old. They develop 6-8 points per year so they can make their MLB debut at around 22 or 23 years old possibly. Rather than 27 or 28 years old, which is usually unrealistic except for borderline role player guys.

            Are the equipment brands already available to edit rosters with when you first start up the game, or do they have to be unlocked?

              I believe they're all available to start when editing rosters

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

                I wanted to comment on the livecast from last night. I have been guilty of being very hard on the team about the finite points of gameplay and franchise but I must say, the live stream they put on is truly amazing. For a game that has no competition the developers giving us so much access like this is top class. I can't praise them enough.

                The best part of the live streams are getting to hear the developers mentality and thought process. The way Luis described how he adjusted the trade logic to more 1 on 1 trades due to following the real life MLB trade news, same thing with minor league contracts, it all shows how much effort these guys put into the game and give it their best. Knowing Luis and the rest of the devs rely so much on real life data to make decisions such as trade frequency and logic makes me confident of the direction they are heading.

                I was fortunate and thankful I got two of my questions asked. One was about if custom rosters worked with the radio show, which they said yes because the names called out are the ones assigned in the player editor, and my other question about how budgets adjust year to year in franchise. Luis mentioned it's tied to team performance with bonuses for post season as well as data from real life on how teams really set their budgets. On this matter it sounds for the most part things work as they did last year, I was hoping to here about some improvements as far as more drastic differences between low market and big market teams. Last year I found and others found that there was too much difference between teams as you would expect. I feel this is an area that could improve but I will give it a fair shake this year and make a post about what I find so we can discuss if it is indeed representative of real life.

                I'm loving the subtle and major changes to the development of the game. The fact that they continue to refine the control schemes, increase the control over fielders, so many great things that really add up to making purchasing another The Show a no brainer. I definitely feel you get your moneys worth unlike some sports games where it is basically a roster update.

                With all the love in the air I will say I am mildly disappointed that we still have lackluster stat tracking. For all the effort they put into franchise this is such a glaring omission. I understand there are prioritys but to me this is a basic fundamental that needs to be there. I did read they are aware and will work in it for next year, so I am not too salty. I will also say the player equipment looks amazing. Although I am on PS3 for one more year and won't see it in-game it really looks excellent.

                    The depth looks good but to me that is a tough perspective to judge the top of the zone.

                      I think I heard on the stream last night, they opened up a couple packs. Ramone did not mentioned all packs being opened. I know there is about 6 packs that comes with the 10th anny' copy that should be plenty for me. It would be sweet if I can use the equipment brands from those packs in the carry over save rosters..

                        That's the old default camera it's called Catcher Classic in the camera settings.

                          The new contract logic and the new trade finder are bad ***.

                          15 is going to be an excellent year. Thanks, SCEA SD.

                            I thought that the packs were just for RTTS.

                              You can earn packs in any game mode. The unlockable stuff is for RTTS and DD, but can be earned and unlocked in all modes.
