MLB 15 The Show: Franchise Mode Stream Full Recap/Notes

Re: MLB 15 The Show: Franchise Mode Stream Full Recap/Notes

Russell, can you confirm whether the following issues or features have been changed or added?

1. Manage Only Mode in online play. I wish to pit my player manager skills against others, not my button mashing skills.

2. Classic Stadiums. This is something many of us have wanted for years. Even the DLC's have not done it justice.

3. Virtual Baseball Cards. Not just a Legend or two per team but the ability to open up actual baseball card packs from any maker for any given year. How could would it be to open up a pack of 1987 Topps, 1984 Fleer or 1990 Score or 1952 Bowman? The ages of the packs, and the likelihood of getting good cards in them, could depend on how much a player invests in The Show. 2014 The Show got the most gaming time out of any game I have ever played!

1. No and if I was a betting man I wouldn't count on that being added ever.

2. No and they are most likely never coming to PS4. When we first included them we had a terrible ROI.

Well then, here's to hoping for create-a-stadium somewhere down the road

Things off the top of my head that I'd like to see in next year's game, just in general
Create a ball park
Roster transfer
Classic stadiums
Commentary overhaul, presentation upgrade
More variety of GM goals as someone mentioned

Scratch the third one off your list as it does not look like that is happening.

There was a pretty large problem in MLB 14 with the Rule IV draft in December. Teams would leave their top prospects off the roster and there would be Top 50 Prospects left available. Hope that doesn't happen this year

I noticed that a little, but any time I saw it the overall of those players was like in the low 60's or something. Not worth having on your 25 man unless you were a completely rebuilding team. And with thiss year's performance based progression, not sure you want a guy that low rated even on the roster if you are rebuilding, either. It could stun their growth.

Even if a guy is a TOP 50 prospect, what does it say about him still being a prospect yet eligible for the Rule 5 draft? That would make him 23-25 years old. I dunno, maybe some guys in the upper 60's/low 70's would show up on the Rule 5 draft board? That is fine and dandy if they were C potential guys anyway.

15 doesn't even release for another 30 days and yet people are already asking for new features for a game that's over a year away smh.

Did anyone mention how they came up with the ages for the legends in Franchise mode? Seemed to be a bit of an age gap between some of them which affects their value quite a bit.

I would like to know this as well. I was going to ask during the live stream, but I didn't want to create an account.

Because having the ability to create new stadium for your team would be higher priority then say the radio show that was added to 15 ..

Says who? I didn't know you were a part of our development team and pre-production process. Because the radio show show was a very high priority for us. Past that the audio team doesn't really have anything to do with the graphics and stadiums groups schedules and feature lists.

I guess if you wanted to, you could see it as a compliment that people are already excited for MLB 16 haha.

Your right I'm not ... I was jus giving you a reason as to why people was asking for things already for 16.. It's because y'all would rather add stuff like the radio show and diamond dynasty .. Which its jus this customers opinion should be further down that priority list ..

Welcome to OS!

Where the main focus is on what a game doesn't offer, rather than what it does!

Far from the main focus but I would much rather have the ability to play in different stadiums.. A game from 10 years ago two console generations back you could ;-)... Radio show does nothing for me it will be background music I'll turn off ..
