MLB 15: The Show Q & A Thread

Re: MLB 15: The Show Q & A Thread

Has anyone ever seen a rundown between bases in this game? I never saw one in the 2014 version after many games. Do they exist in either game?

They do when you are on offense. I was picked off today and got in a rundown. AI ran it to perfection and got me out.

Dynamic attendance?

Does attendance vary at all in this game? I haven't noticed it yet in season, exhibition or live mode.

It does in franchise for sure.

I was under the impression that I earned DD cards/ equipment during any game modes. I have played through 3 weeks in my RTTS and haven't received a single piece of equipment, card, anything. Is this normal and I was mistaken?

Ive gotten them for Franchise and exhibition games. Maybe RTTS doesnt count since games can be played in 5 minutes (which is how it should be if its not).

Seems odd considering equipment is the only new addition to RTTS...

That equipment is used in DD as well though. And can be sold. If you were able to get new cards every 5 minutes it would be to easy to get OP teams in DD.

I was womping the Twins 10 - 1 in the 8th inning the other night, and I was only sort of paying attention, but i SWEAR the attendance dropped late in the game, people had filed out of there.

I mean more for the whole game like some of the older versions of the show. It seems like every game is a sell out this year which doesn't seem realistic exactly.

It depends on the success of the team, as the season goes on if your team stinks, the attendance will drop. But I'm only 5 games into my '15 franchise so I'm assuming it's the same as '14........

Re: MLB 15: The Show Q & A Thread

I like the changes made to pitch movement. Most of them are much more realistic. However, I was wondering if you guys ever planned on adding a couple of more pitches? First, I think there should a 12 to 6 slider added. It's really more like 1 to 7, but it's mostly vertical movement none the less. Max scherzer and Matt Harvey move like this just to name a few pitchers that have a slider that breaks this way. Just look on brooksbaseballs website. They have the statistics to back this up. Second, I think there should be a split change, or at least a change that has the same direction in the game as the sinker. The circle change has more horizontal movement than the sinker, more like the two seam. And the other change ups break straight down. Most pitchers changeups have some type of arm side fade. Go to YouTube and watch Max Scherzers 2013 highlights. Look at how nasty his changeup is and how much arm side Fade it has. And how is slider has mostly vertical movement. His 4 seam has a lot of arm side run, which is something that has somewhat been addressed in this years game. Not all 4 seamers are straight as an arrow. Anyways, just wondering if this could be addressed. I was also wondering if there would ever be the addition of signature pitches. For instance, King Felixs' changeup. I feel like pitching is the only area of the game that isn't on par with the other aspects as far as realism. I also think certain pitchers repertoires are wrong. Like Madison Bumgarner: slider, 4seam, 2 seam, curveball, changeup. It's pretty well documented he throws a cutter, instead of a slider. He doesn't throw a 2 seam. His curve is more of a sweeping curve because of his release. Corey Kluber is another. Sinker, 4 seam, cutter, curveball, changeup. He primarily throws a two seam as his fastball now. Which he attributes his 2014 success too. His breaking ball is more of a slurve or often referred to as a power slider. This would increase the realism of the game, which is something this game is known for. Thoughts?

Do the sliding marks disappear? On ps3 they do.

Re: MLB 15: The Show Q & A Thread

Haven't paid attention but in real life the infield is raked etc.. during game also so doesn't really bother me if they disappear.

Game History not working

Anybody else having their games not log in the game history? I have only played exhibition games so far and some of the show live games. Nothing has showed up. I always thought it kept track of everything and even the stats from those games. Checked my Universal Profile and nothing there either. Thoughts?

Server Issues

Was trying to play a SHOW LIVE game last night, could not connect. Not the first time this has happened either. Issue for other people too I am assuming?
