It's only the recording, you can still take screenshots. Also, that message only pops up because they are actually live streaming from the "PS4" (dev unit).

Oh yeah didnt even think about that. Thanks.

I know some people noticed the speedy sim speeds in MLB 15, and the faster loading times were pointed out in the streams. I don't believe no one has mentioned how snappy the menus are as well (maybe one person on the OS podcast.) They are easily the most responsive/snappy I've seen in a sports game!

Noticed this too (I'm an M's fan). Assuming this was likely the CPU as they were simulating trade logic and Franchise seasons.

Wilhelmsen and Ackley were traded too. I think the returns were Marwin Gonzalez and Matt Holliday, which probably means some guys got hurt. Brad probably sucks this year, so a possible scenario is Taylor got hurt and the CPU wanted to replace him.

OT, I just noticed Kiley McDaniel has Chris Taylor as a 55 FV, a 55! I wish he rated out like that in The Show, I had him at 82 potential last year.

I wonder just how improved the trade logic is. The trade finder looks really cool. But seeing an Ackley for Holliday trade is a little worrisome. I don't think there were any ridiculous trades in the stream like past iterations. I guess only time will tell.

I highly doubt it. You dont have to sim in franchise though?

to play multiple 162 game seasons for sure I'd need to sim.


I like the 29 game seasons, wish I could set it to 40 games and control the schedule, that'd be best.


its 50/50 on the chance, most not all but most of the mode in franchise is mirrored in season, at least option wise.


The GM 3 year thing would be nice

I think the more questionable trade was Shelby Miller for Ben Revere.

So is there a summary of things revealed in this latest stream?

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

Here's a question, I'm not a franchise guy mainly because I don't like simming. Will the gm 3 year option be available in season mode? Where I can play all of my games

I don't believe it is. Not 100% sure, but I think gm contract goals are only for franchise mode.

I don't have my notes with me, but I believe the yearly goals (can)change each season of the 3 years. So it might be go .500 the first year and the second year win a title.

The video looked great, but one thing that REALLY bothered me...

how often (in real baseball) do you see a ground ball down the line go for a single? It's a double or more like 99.9% (if not 100%) of the time. So why am I still seeing grounders down the line being singles?? This has been an issue for . . . ever.

Thing I noticed the most: How fluid and quick the menu surfing is. I don't remember how last year was, but that's probably my main gripe with sports games. Long, slow glitches and loading during menu screens. Glad 15 looks smooth as something really smooth.

Apparently i have no games that block some screens right now so i cant test this. I like to take screenshots of some of the loading screens that come up. Things like End of Month stats. Whenever 15 goes into a loading screen you get the notification that game play recording has been stopped. Anyone know if its only the recordings that dont work and you can still take screenshots in those situations?

The devs just don't want you leaking videos of gameplay on an unfinished product, so they take away this feature. This alert won't be there in a finished game and that's why you don't have any games that block screens. It happens when I play the Planetside 2 closed Beta. Don't worry about it, it won't be there in the finished 15.

Damnit...my biggest pet peeve...

The menus look improved this year, but to me The Show has always been top notch in loading menu screens quickly. NBA 2k had the best menus on PS3, but it looks like The Show is better now. I love starting up the game and being able to edit a roster, start a franchise, and play a game within a few minutes. EAs menus have been awful for so long and it's beyond frustrating.

Those will be there in the finished game.

The AI doesn't know these players by name, it's only code it's going off of. It's trading player A for Player B.

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

That is an awesome idea. I'd add milestones or something like major story lines. I can't see myself listening to it for the score recaps but would listen in for "big" stories.
