    Certain things about this game that dont make sense...

    1. In the All Star games, the players are wearing the American and National League jerseys, instead of their individual team jerseys for the team the play for. I have never understood why it is like this in the game, its cool to make the all star game in RTTS but the game doesnt feel authentic at all because of this.

    1a. Home Run Derby is still using the "outs" format, its innacurate and unauthentic.


    2. They give out a "Postseason MVP" for the playoffs, given to the best player for the entirety of the postseason. I have won it a couple times in RTTS. But it doesnt make any sense, because there is no such thing as a "Postseason MVP" in MLB. There is only ALCS/NLCS MVP and WSMVP. I have seen it in the game for years and wondered why they decided to make a faux award for this game.


    3. No replay reviews. I understand that the umpires in the game can get every call right, but wouldnt it be awesome if they made a mistake time to time and the replay view would fix it? Replay challenges are huge in the game today, you will rarely see a game where there isnt at least one challenge being made and a call being over turned by a critical replay review.


    There are more but these are just a few that came to mind. Im sure I can update this thread regularly.

    This game is great and the gameplay is phenomenal. But theres a lot of small things wrong with it.

              Replay challenges are in this years game. only thing is you kan't decide when to use them but they are in tha game. hopefully next year they leave it up to you when you wanna use your challenges.

                Was going to ask the same thing.

I have never understood why it is like this in the game, its cool to make the all star game in RTTS but the game doesnt feel authentic at all because of this. This has been mentioned several times by Ramone and his team that it is a memory issue in regards to not have each player with their individual team unis.

                Considering this format change was announced a few weeks ago, you can't be upset that it is not in MLB '15...especially since the game was released in March.

                Agree with you here.

                You mentioned that you play RttS. You will not see replay challenges if you play that mode.

                There are more but these are just a few that came to mind. Im sure I can update this thread regularly.

                  They are? Ive only seen them on home run reviews on fair/foul balls.

                      lol didn't we just find out about the new home run derby rules like... a week ago?

                      I'm actually laughing at how ridiculous this topic is

                        Aside from the home run derby these are all legitimate points.

                          The All-Star Game jerseys not being in has been explained numerous times, and isn't a legitimate gripe, in my opinion.

                          The awards point is pretty nit-picky, but it is incorrect in the game. If that's important to you, then I can see why you would want it changed.

                          Replay reviews are in, but extremely limited. I would expect that to be expanded next year.

                            My biggest gripe is that this game touts itself on being a simulator, yet the 2015 NL playoffs consisted of the Phillies, Padres, Cardinals, Mets and Nationals.

                              So it's not a sim because why? The only team that really does not have a chance of being in the playoffs this year is the Phillies.
