    MLB 15 The Show: The Radio Show is a Solid Start

    Once in a while it seems that a sports franchise will attempt some kind of radio show or halftime show or some other way of enhancing the realism of your season/franchise mode. FIFA World Cup Brazil was a recent example of this, as that game’s radio show would chime in after you played some matches, providing rough detail on the games played. That was one school of thought on this sort of show, as the radio spot there featured informal conversation that sounded natural but didn’t really have a lot of detail. They would talk about the teams who had played, so that was cool, but there never was any player depth or discussion on big plays or things like that.

    Re: MLB 15 The Show: The Radio Show is a Solid Start

    I kept my high hopes for this tempered, but it has actually exceeded not only my tempered hopes, but even went above if I had left those expectations unchecked. I finally feel like I know what's going on around the league without constantly checking other teams numbers. I guess it's seeping into my subconscious
    T-BONE.

    Talking about things nobody cares.

      The few times I've heard it I definitely like it. I love the idea of them not only expanding the audio database but also the way it could tie into video highlights (fingers crossed).

      I really wish they hadn't tied it to Matty V though.

        The show has shown no signs that they implement this kind of feature and expand on it year over year. Unfortunately seems like this is what we will have, most likely, for this whole generation of the show games.

          How is the radio show tied to Matt?

            Wait so hold up. Was scouting getting expanded, difficulty levels getting expanded, pitch count options getting expanded, accessories getting expanded, GM goals getting expanded, pitch trajectories getting expanded, pitch cursor options getting expanded and trade options getting expanded all in my imagination?

              So either you can can see into the future or you've been secretly hiding out in our presentation meetings in an alternative universe because we have every intention of expanding upon Inside the show next year.

                Initially I wasn't hearing the radio show at all.

                I came on here and asked how to get it to play and was told that I needed to have Matty V's audio slider turned on (I had the announcers turned off).

                Sure enough, turning his slider up worked.

                  You just need to sim a day the radio show has nothing to do with Matt you.don't need to lower his audio or anything.

                    I did.

                    Without Matt V on, the Radio Show intro music starts but the announcer never says anything. Once I turned Matt V's slider on I was able to hear the scores.

                    I'll check it here in a bit.

                    Could you clarify exactly how to get the show to start? Is Sim thru date and/or advance date the only way?

                      The radio show is great for the way I use it.

                      1. Play a franchise game.
                      2. It auto-saves after it's over.
                      3. Quit and do something else.
                      4. Come back later or the next day and advance day.
                      5. Reminded what happened in the last game as the radio show plays.

                      It's a great way to keep you connected to your franchise between sessions.

                        No.....minor (and I mean minor) improvements in those areas was definitely not your omagination. The Show needs competition in the worst way possible. I think if OOTP is serious anout bringing more 3D into their game, and that is a big IF, then The Show will have their hands full.

                          Triggering the radio show can be a bit difficult sometimes. I have a question,does it only play once after the days games are through or does it repeat again? I've only heard it once after the days games are completed. I hope that makes sense.

                            Those are gameplay and franchise stuff. Presentation elements such as this have not been expanded or improved. I think if you had properly read my post before you posted, you may have not wasted your time posting random things in the game that were expanded on.

                            Im not seeing into the future, I'm looking into the past, and present, and seeing no improvement in presentation department for several years. Heck some presentation elements have gone unchanged since ps2. The post game hi lights were a good start years ago, never improved and ultimately removed this year, real time presentation was a good start years ago, wheres that at in your presentation meeting these days? Forgive me for my skepticism that any real improvements will come from a radio show, because other features like this tend to just be there year after year doing the same thing.

                              I don't understand my Marty V slider was already turned up,but I still didn't hear the radio show. I'm confused.
