MLB 15: The Show Q & A Thread

Re: MLB 15: The Show Q & A Thread

How are the new speed differences with outfielders, infielders and baserunners at default?

Are you seeing more routine outs not as close, are you seeing more gap shots not being as easily tracked down (again at default).

And most importantly the wall sucking of outfielders getting hung up and not getting the ball in with urgency.


Thanks!

The first question is tough for me to answer this new into the game. I've only played a few Spring Training games and the only honest feedback that I can provide is that I've hit shots down the line with Wong and Molina and I was into 2B with Wong easily in a stand up double. With Molina I was lucky to get into second, just beating the throw.

I am seeing routine outs not being as close as last year. And yes, definitely seeing gappers being hit that the fielders aren't even close to getting. Its a bit frustrating at first cause you're used to tracking down certain batted balls from years passed. Its a good frustration lol

I haven't seen it thus far but again sample size is small.

Are there more game ranges for manually injuring players in franchise? (In previous years games there are some amount of days that you can't use as no injuries in the game correspond to them)

Re: MLB 15: The Show Q & A Thread

Copy from impressions thread:

[*]Trade engine, again. The game suggested I (the Mariners) trade three very good players for Mike Trout. The Angels are leading my division right now, right before the trade deadline. I thought I'd heard from devs that the game won't trade big name players like Trout? Maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, "typical complaint about trade engine" inserted here.

Who were the players? I did see some people trying to test the trade engine on stream by requesting Trout or other big names, but I did see some huge talent/potential going back in the other direction for those kinds of guys. I think the claim made about the trade logic wasn't that it wouldn't ever do those kinds of trades, but that you'd be paying out the ear for them (as you should).

Re: MLB 15: The Show Q & A Thread

Were you using 30 team Control when using trade finder for trout? If so what side were you initiating from?

I did this at community day and found out I was on the wrong side and I was, in essence, controlling the Angels and offering up Trout.

FYI Comerica Park looks amazing during day games.

Re: MLB 15: The Show Q & A Thread

You can also (as the Mariners) ask the Angels to suggest trades for Trout. If you do this I think they'll ask for really good players for him, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they'd trade him to another CPU controlled team during your Franchise

Re: MLB 15: The Show Q & A Thread

I tried the suggest trades with the Mets to get Trout. It asked for Harvey, Wright and Cuddyer, I think.

Re: MLB 15: The Show Q & A Thread

That is not correct, you can choose zone with analog input.

Thats not pure analog. That is analog with zone.

Re: MLB 15: The Show Q & A Thread

With power swing analog i know you have tomorrow stick down then up and the stride doesn't matter but does ur batter still load up when you go down on the stick? Or can you just load up early by moving the stick down?

Re: MLB 15: The Show Q & A Thread

You're really playing with semantics here. They are both technically pure analog because you move the left stick for the PCI. Pure analog just means no buttons, you just have the option of controlling the PCI or not.

Pure analog this year is like the old timing based hitting but using the right stick to swing instead of buttons.
You cannot move the pci using this system?

Thank you, that's what I was wondering..I know the difference between ZAP and Pure analog...but last year and years past you still could move the PCI using pure analog.

So thank you, you answered my question...enjoy the game!!

I have an early copy of the game. Will I get in trouble if I stream before Tuesday's release?

Re: MLB 15: The Show Q & A Thread

Are there less dropped 3rd strikes by the catcher ?
It was very annoying in '14 to have to tag the batter out or throw to 1st base so frequently !

You won't get in trouble here, but Twitch can shut your channel down.
