Nick Livingston was trying to explain what happened, that it wasn't really a crash... But I am myself a software developer currently working on a commercial auto insurance app so I am interested in this sort of thing... Anyway Nick appeared to be frustrated when he got cut off. But I was with you Nick, I was listening to what you were saying.

I thought the same thing. Not for the same reasons, but I wanted to know too. I was a little disappointed.

Was there any mention about equipment that we have on this years players that when we transfer over from 15 to 16, will we be able to keep that same equipment ??? Anyone know ??

Free stuff. Stubs, cards, card packs, equipment. I think the base version doesn't have a whole lot for preorder bonus, unless places like Gamestop or wherever have a special promotion. I preorderd from Amazon and got 20% off as a PRIME member. Though I'm still considering cancelling that and going digital, even if it does cost full retail.

Does any of that apply to franchise mode? I will get the game but I'll only preorder if I see a benefit.

Stubs towards more franchise budget

Also, sponsor cards in the packs. I think the MVP or Digitial deluxe even has a sponsors pack as a bonus. Though maybe that is not a preorder bonus, just a bonus that comes with those special editions of the game.

Pretty sure TheShowNation.com has all the details about the preorder bonuses and what comes with the special editions.

One thing that would tremendously help the amount of doubles/triples is correct ball physics on hits down the line. The ball should continue rolling away from the fielder, but it actually moves toward the fielder (i.e. back to the field). If this could be corrected, that would have a big effect on getting correct outcomes on balls hit down the line.

Better routes as opposed to what?

Fielders already took great routes. It's one of the reasons gamers complain about the lack of doubles and triples.

If it's that fielders won't take those good routes, that means the programming is purposely making players field poorly which is fine for poor fielders. I welcome that.

If that's the case, why is it called better routes?

I think they mean "better" as in "more realistic"

If it's an SCEA player they will get whatever equipment they were assigned this year. If it's a CAP they will keep everything as it was in 15. Same with deliveries and stances. At least that's how it was in 15.

I wonder if their photo would be updated as well?

I guess they're just never going to update the classic catcher's masks, huh?

I think this might be the 5th year a row I've made this post.

What is with that tan padding? When was the last time you saw a mask like that? Why are they STILL not color-coordinated with the uniform? Nobody wears that mask.



And yes, I'm aware of masks that look like this:



But that isn't what's being represented either.

You can select specific colors for six different parts of a batting glove, but you get one classic catcher's mask, and it's tan and tan only. I just don't get it. Year after year after year.

100% agree with this! I have asked SCEA multiple times to add the ability to edit color of the catchers mask and cannot even get them to respond as to by they won't or can't.

Another thing they need to update are the team jackets that the managers and pitchers wear.

Sony did not have enough time to get it in this year. I am pretty sure they want to do it and I bet anything its on there list just not really high on the list right now. But I bet it makes it into 17.

I played 4 games in a row this afternoon and must have had like 8 broken bats. I wonder if this was cut down some for 16?

I'm not saying that real life has many sawed-off bats, but that many broken bats in real life in general is totally possible. I've seen Benito Santiago break two bats in the same AB. Wood bats break all of the time.

So, strangely enough, I'd like to see more bats break, but of the other variety... not just all bats that split and shatter.
