Re: MLB 15: The Show Q & A Thread

Has anyone had a HR overturned to a foul ball in a video replay challenge.

I have hit 3 HR's that should have been foul balls,all just missing the pole,each time i was expecting the umpire to go to a replay and overturn or at least check it like they have done in past games.

I am yet to see a video replay challenge of a FB/HR yet in 15 so not sure if there is a issue with it triggering or just a bug with foul balls being allowed to be HR's.

Edit: i have tried creating a bug report with clips but i keep getting a error, i think when trying to upload the video's.

I just had this happen to me for the first time.

I was down 1-0 in Tampa in the bottom of the 6th and, with 2 away, Longoria hit one down the left field line that was about a foot foul. It was ruled a 3-run home run and it's now 4-0.

Edit: I wound up losing, 4-1. Could have been 1-1 going to the bottom of the 9th. Grr.

Can anyone answer this, Posey has graphics on his mask I thought this was a Union / Team legal issue ? Thanks for any information

I don't think they ever were. (I guess they could be though)
As long as they have permission from Posey and the artist....
I think Molina had his as well.

Thanks must be a case by case thing then and signing off with teams and artists but its normally just a team logo so I dont understand the artistic point ?
They had to yank them a few years ago but its kind weird as its not like a NHL mask that uses more detail stuff like people and stuff and MLB is just team logos and nothing crazy like NHL ?

Re: MLB 15: The Show Q & A Thread

Can a dev provide the deeper strategy behind which players perform best on the field?

I read a thread from 2010 where "Russell" explained contact/power/vision, how they interact with h/9, k/9, bb/9 and how ball trajectories are calculated.

If we are trying to decide on players for fantasy or diamond dynasty, can you give us more insight on which players will perform the best on the field?

From what you told us, a player with 99 in contact/power/vision with 99 speed should be the best hitter possible. But obviously, no player has this.

How large are the effects of batting stance and handedness on hitting (versus opposite or same handed pitchers)?

Who would produce more double, triples and homers? A player with 99 power and 75 contact (with both having 99 vision) or the reverse?

I'm not seeing much difference between a player with great fielding vs a player with horrible fielding like Ortiz. Ortiz barely makes more errors than a legend like Bagwell. Does higher fielding give you new animations? Does it effect the success of tags?

Holy broken bats Batman. I've seen maybe 2 before today.... Through 5 innings I've seen 4. Was this part of the update?

Is there a reason the MLB roster doesnt expand to 40 players on September 1st?

The game didn't let expand until your minor league teams seasons are done.

Ive come to realize that. Still not sure why. There are enough roster spots to let you have 40 on the main roster and 25 in AA/AAA.

I believe it's only if your clubs minor league team is in the playoffs .....which most teams leave those players down to play....unless something changed this year and no teams are calling them up.

Yeah its not really a big deal. Just have to wait 5 days for the minor league season to be over. I just made a couple moves to get a few minor league guys playoff eligible and was expecting to be able to call the guys i sent down back up the next day.

I just bought some stubs earlier today but I didn't get the bonus stubs. How do I get the bonus stubs?

The bonus stubs are already included i believe. If you bought the 5,500 stubs option then you bought 5000 and the other 500 are the bonus.

Re: MLB 15: The Show Q & A Thread

Hey guys, so I am having trouble updating my rosters. My PS4 just said that it installed an MLB the Show 15 update just now, but I don't have updated rosters. I used the Red Sox for quick reference and I still have C Christian Vasquez starting and there is no sign of Swihart in the minor leagues either.

How do I manually update rosters to the current May 16, rosters? I'm completely stumped after searching on google even. No YouTube videos either. It's been like 30 minutes and I haven't come up with anything...

Help?
