Glad to see they added the option of playing a whole series before having to load screen back to calendar. I was hoping for this the last couple years. Should make it way easier to blast through games.

NOW, the real question, while this be an option in offline Franchise? Would love to play a series without going to load screen and have all stats save at the end of the series.

Will the new equipment brands be revealed in these previews?

Yurp most likely the RTTS stream.

I for one would like to thank Ramone and the team for releasing a schedule.
Tentative or not, its nice to when to look forward to news instead of wondering.

For those complaining about a fact sheet, just think all these dates u wont get your hopes up for what you want and have to live with the disappointments.

In other words stop complaining and just wait for your important dates.

Also the slower stream of news can help SCEA hear feedback about new additions, as opposed to an avalanche of opinions where specifics can get lost in the shuffle with a fact sheet where people specifically just talk about the modes they want resolve in.

All will be revealed in due time. There is DD Expansion, the two new modes which we haven't said anything about yet, Franchise mode new features and Improvements, Gameplay New Features and Improvements (that list is long), New Animations Player Uniqueness and Improved Personality, Graphical Improvements, Presentation Play-by-Play and Color Commentary Improvements, Sounds of the Show, ************ (sorry can't let that one out the bag yet), Legends Expansion, COTW 3.0, New equipment, and all the stuff on the best gets better list.

How am I possibly going to wait until March 1st? I know, I'll just freeze my self and have someone thaw me when the time comes. What could possibly go wrong?

20-80 scale is a nice addition.

But the "perks" thing is not The Show, at all. That's All-Star Baseball type gimmicks. I realize it's probably an option, but I don't like the idea of my friends all having different types of RTTS player results than me because they used cheats when they played. This is supposed to be the most realistic baseball game ever, so way add a gigantic arcade component?

Would have preferred if they FINALLY would have added a story/personal aspect to RTTS like EVERY OTHER sports game has where your created player feels like a real person in that world when you have an agent, answer media questions, have scenarios to deal with in between games, have a cool backstory for your guy. RTTS deeply lacks of-the-field fun.

Does it look like they added some new minor league ballparks or were those seen in TS 15?

Re: MLB The Show 16 - New Road to the Show Details

If 20-80 makes it into franchise mode, me =

Don't want to infer too much, but Ramone liking this original post is promising. I also like 2 sessions dedicated to franchise mode. Hopefully one of them is to show us an extremely elaborate, but intuitive and slick to navigate, world of stat tracking. Keep pounding.

To me it looks like these perks are throttled so you can't go into beast mode. I also think it may attract potential players to the mode because they can relate to a type of model that is being used in other games. It seems more intuitive than just throwing tons of stubs to get x amount of boost. SCEA is very conscious of keeping the integrity of the sport intact when introducing elements into the game.

As far as story mode, I am not sure baseball has that behind the scene backstory appeal like basketball and football have. Also, I find those storylines terribly scripted and pretty lackluster.

Re: MLB The Show 16 - New Road to the Show, Showtime Details &amp; Tentative Reveal Dates

I have no interest in RTTS so it's a long wait till March for me.

Looks the same as '15, as '14, '13 etc however i will reserve judgment until the live streams begin.

Hoping there's been plenty of work on franchise mode.

Re: MLB The Show 16 - New Road to the Show Details

I really, really love the ability to just keep playing instead of having to go to the menu after each game played in RttS. That is awesome.
