Thats great an all about classic stadiums being back and definitely about open and closed roof ballparks. But personally I would have much rather seen more ballparks for Spring Training and more MILB ballparks, even if fictional Id rather see those in the game.

I know the game will be great because it is each year, MLBTS has the best devs in the business so I have no doubts whatsoever we will have another tremendous game, but as of now wit money being a issue for my wife and I, I havent seen anything thats makes me think I should get my wife to buy the game for me this year, or atleast not in the beginning, possibly wait for a price drop, wich would be a 1st as I have bought day 1 sine 09.

I just hope they bring back "True Wind" as I called it a few years back. Tired of playing at Wrigley and having Fly Balls being caught like cans of corn when the wind is blowing out at 25mph

I am intrigued to see what the PBR (physically based rendering) can do for batting helmets, grass texture, clothing, other gear, etc..

As the MLB THE SHOW 15 Season has ended, it's exciting to hear news about the new game so soon as this is much more news than we got from last year's announcement trailer.

Liking the Physical Based Rendering as well the Opened and Closed Roof's.

But BY FAR, the thing we all care about is the fact that the pitchers will finally get out of the way of the ball.

I wonder if weather means more than just "rain," like cold or hot weather for instance. Would be cool to see Chase Field have a closed roof on much hotter days, especially because it doesn't rain there all that too often.

I wondered this at first as well. But knowing the dev team, they will implement it the way it needs to be. I have complete faith that the roofs will be closed as they would be in real life. Hot and cold weather will make a difference I would say.

Sounds like some nice additions. Add me to the camp in favor of all things revamping franchise mode:

Manager hook for RP needs adjusting; RP pitch more than 1 inning too often.

Stats stats stats, and their integration into the game. Keeping details of previous years' stats.

AI call-ups based on performance, not just organizational injuries.

Player personality, morale, etc.

Add in the handful of CBA adjustments that are missing, such as playoff eligibility.

Expansion/Relocation mode.

Steals being credited on hit and runs and other box score inaccuracies.

I guess just more attention to detail in testing catching some of the simple fixes. This is what will keep this game above the 'greatness line' for a lot of folks here at OS.

My top wish out of this list is relief pitchers being pulled realistically. It drives me nuts to see middle relievers regularly pitching 3 and 4 innings. They almost always leave them in too long, leading to a big inning. Seems like they never take them out until you start scoring.

3 to 4 innings????? so the starter only last on an average of 5 innings in your games? I can't say I have ever experience that unless the reliever is absolutely dominating, but no more than 2 innings.

That happens a lot in extra inning games. But I have seen that on occasion but its normally when you swing at every thing and don't run the pitch count up.

It'll probably work the way automatically wearing long sleeves worked.

In games where it forced the players to wear long sleeves, the roof would be closed and same goes for the games that players were forced to wear no sleeves because it was too hot.

Not every game. But the games that the starter comes out early, or in extra inning games is normally when it happens.

Okay I can see that happening, I don't normally have high scoring games (most common final score being 4 - 2 ) and when a blow out does happen it mostly the cpu putting the hurt on. So chances are I wouldnt see that occurrence often.

MVP Edition has been pre-ordered. I already know how sick this game is going to be.

Re: Details on Classic Stadiums, Open/Closed Roofs, Animations & More For MLB The Sho

The additions they mentioned all sound great and cant wait for 16' to come out. I have to go to gamestop to get the boy a PS4 for xmas and plan on pre-ordering MLB.
I also hope they fix the innings pitcher pitch so to say. It wont take away from the game for me, but it would be really nice to see a more realistic pitcher/manager ai.

Any word on if they will include a energy bar in the Lineup and Rotation screen? Its a little frustrating trying to remember to notice it right before a game for setting up the lineup for the next game. It would be a nice and welcomed addition if possible.

Like the new card additions to DD, ONLY if it is very hard to get those cards and field a stacked team. I ended up getting ranked pretty high last year and like the year before I ended up losing interest as I was just playing the same teams with legends and submarine DD players throwing 101mph then being forced to field a similar team to compete. I really do hope that this year, at least for a while after launch we'll see teams made that resemble MLB teams with actual weaknesses instead of even pinch hitters being legends. Having to pinch hit Bagwell for McGriff is not a weakness.

I also hope Sony and/or San Diego can fix the online modes in terms of security, reporting cheating, etc. Although I was getting bored with DD what ultimately made my quit the mode was a hack/exploit used by a user on several high ranked players that caused me to go from around 1950/60 to 1900. That along with getting a DOS attack from a salty player, yes there are people who will sick a DOS attack on you if they are losing. I've played a lot of online games, but for some reason The Show attracts some salty individuals who will do anything to not have that loss of their record.

Spoiler

p.s. First thing I looked for in the new trailer was if they fixed the baskets at Wrigley. Seems like they are still giant.

I'm just hoping RTTS gets some real love. There's so many more stuff to put into the game. The new animations sound promising because it REALLY needs a lot more animations. Anyways, why not introduce the World Baseball Classic, which would be cool in RTTS?? How about being able to specify a team we want to be traded to just to improve our chances? How about always giving us the option to argue calls?? ( Ode to MVP) where are all the stats? Lots of more stuff too. I love MLB and I really hope it doesn't slow down like Madden in terms of yearly progression.
