In regards to a "Star" player needing to hit 1, 3 or 4: remember that there were other categories affecting morale. Just because a "Star" player doesn't like hitting 2nd or 5th doesn't mean that overall he can't still be satisfied or happy.

Also, we'll have to wait and see what players need the "Star" status. Is it players rated 90 and over? Over 92? 86 or higher? When we know the answer to that we'll have a lot better idea of how much this would even be an issue.

It's not spot on at all.

They are still missing all the year flags in left center field. The 2 LED stat boards on the right field wall is wrong. Also the LED stat board in the right field upper deck is wrong. Team logos instead of team names on the Jumbo tron. Also not confirmed yet but I bet the Liberty Bell animations also is still wrong. Plus still no real life stat LED ribbon boards that go around the stadium.

Yes those things are all inaccurate, I agree. But pointing out stuff like led boards that aren't real to life? That's an issue in every stadium, not just CBP. And the pennant flags are there, they just need to add the years to them. It would be awesome to have the liberty bell function correctly on home runs though. Overall I just feel the stadium looks great minus the little nuances missing.

Only reason MVP went away is because of exclusives not because it didn't make money .. MVP to me has still not been replaced as top console baseball game nit saying it didn't have problems but the Show only has it beat in Graphics only and that's sad really .. I agree DD is there money mode !!!

Seriously??? Come on. The AI is inferior. The amount of options in how you want to play the game on The Show is superior. I could paint corners all day and destroy the AI on MVP 05. They could not hit me after I got super good at meter pitching.

I played MVP 05 for 5 straight years. Loved the game. And no question one of the very best ever made. But starting with MLB The Show 11 I was totally done with MVP 05.

But if you love MVP 05....keep playing it.

I am very excited for player morale, the new contract system, new scouting (20/80 scale) and I am really happy we have a trade frequency slider!!!! Huge. Upgraded financial screens. Plenty to be pumped about.

Haven't been able to watch the stream yet. Did they discuss the playoff rosters?

I did a search in this thread for "britton" and it came up with nothing. Has anyone discussed the fact that zach britton signed a FA contract and was traded days/weeks later (before the next season)? That seems like odd logic.

Jeter spent most of his career batting 2nd, no? I guess he wasn't a star. Lol.

Thanks. I was under the impression that the trade slider was related to frequency not logic though. I don't mind players getting traded a lot but there should be some kind of internal block on players being traded within the first 5 months of joining a team or something like that (like in FIFA).

Really really really dissapointed that online franchise wasn't touched at all. I understand the argument of priorities based on how many people play each mode but not touching the mode at all isn't how you grow it. I'm in an online Madden league that has interest in also doing a league in The Show but doesn't because the mode is too bare bones compared to the offline mode. At the very least it would be nice if they made having something more than quick presentation an option for online franchises. Really sucks the air out of you when you hit a big HR against your buddy with others watching on Twitch and skips right to the next batter

I was happy to hear about how Garcia's attribute drop was "extreme" but the examples provided didn't quite show what I would want.

Of course a player who is down in the 40s doesn't really have too much further to drop off if they struggle. Of course a player in the upper 90s won't go up much if they hit well vs LHP because the ceiling is pretty much right there.

I'm just hoping those weren't intentional examples to gloss over a potential issue. I would prefer to see players who begin in the 60's/70's with certain contact ratings and see how good/bad seasons impact their attributes.

Not really. If he is happy with his contract, performance, coaching, etc., he can still be quite happy overall even though he isn't hitting in a 'Star' spot in the lineup. Also, we don't know what makes a player want the 'Star' role yet. Is tied to rating so any player rated over X will automatically want the 'Star' role? Is it set based on real-life attitudes of players where some guys don't care about individual recognition but others prioritize themselves over the team? What if some very highly rated players have 'No Preference' for their role? All questions we don't have answers to until we get our hands on the game.

I thought they said the for those who are "Stars" if you put them in the bottom of the order they will be unhappy. I would think a player who has a "Star" would be fine with hitting in 1-5 positions.

Why is everyone talking about hitting second???? Pretty sure he put Donaldson in the 9th spot in the video. 2nd is still top of the lineup and I'm sure it won't have a negative impact like hitting 9th. Can we play the game first before jumping to conclusions

[gharp14]

Well Mike Trout has hit in the 2 hole so hope he doesn't become angry. Imo, I think they need to make the 2 and 5 hole for stars too
