1. I believe you will see a FEW more this year, IIRC.
2. That would it make it more difficult to play defense, especially on hard it balls. Unless, you're playing auto-fielding. Even then it could effect reaction time for preloading throws, of hard hit balls. Unless of course, you are using auto throw too.
3. [Sorry, you've reached your couple question limit]

Spoiler

As long as you start a franchise using those rosters, you can carryover and continue in MLB 16. There currently is no way to load up an old exhibition roster file.

so for #3- if somebody starts a franchise in mlb 16 with last years fictional roster file, can they save them as a mlb 2016 roster and post them on this site for upload in 2016??? is that possible?

No. You'd have to start a franchise in 15, and then use year-to-year saves to continue in 16. The rosters are no good outside of that particular franchise (save).

Or....start one in '15 with the fictional.....transfer it over to '16...making sure to start the franchise with CPU ROSTER CONTROL set to ON.....then once in '16 use the feature to export the players from the franchise and import them into a roster.

HOPEFULLY....CPU ROSTER CONTROL is still a feature so that we can utilize this.

A free roam camera that you could place in the stands would be fun to watch for sim games.

Hopefully this year if you don't use 30 team control you can carry over a save without being forced into GM mode.

What is wrong with rain delays? Rain plays a big part in a sport that is played in the Spring.

I'm not saying that there should be 45 minute delays. What I'm saying is that there should be:

A. Dynamic weather. A huge part of any outdoor sport is changing weather conditions. For example, a game that starts sunny but then get light drizzle late in the game.

B. Short rain delay cutscenes (tarps getting rolled out, etc.)

C. Games should be able to get delayed/rained out in season mode. If this happens, the game would be rescheduled. Or played later that day, which would be a perfect way to show off the new time of day lighting and shadowing they added to this game.


All of these things happen in the real MLB and need to be in a simulation game.

I couldn't agree more! This game is great, but it needs so much more to become the ultimate sports game. Dynamic weather and rain delays/rain outs are all part of baseball realism. Sorry, but more modes do not do it for me! Dynamic weather should have been in by now, considering how many years this game has been around. I like ultimate realism! It's a matter of priorities.

I don't think this is hijacking the thread since Nick won the developer tournament and his favorite player was LaRoche - this is an interesting story.

Further details on the Adam LaRoche situation

Go look at Jorge Soler from MLB 15.

Some of the generics are decent but some look nothing like the player which are the ones that bug me especially if it's a star player......but the face scanned guys look almost dead on and that's how u can usually tell

With all of this work done with PBR on surfaces, it make me hope they work on the players appearance a lot next year, because that is an area they really need to work on (skin textures and body models especially). It is great right now, but it can be better

After all the footage... I only have one thing to say... Give the people the free-lance/sky cam.

I'd like a cut scene of a tarp rolling out, even make a persons hat flying off and they run and get it. But I think it would bring more strategy. If it's raining with the dynamic weather, you can start with a light drizzle. Then each inning it gets worse. Finally have an ump call it. Cue the cut scene. Then after the scene you would go to the pitcher screen. Their stamina would be lower. Then you have a choice to bring them back into the game or have a new pitcher come in, which would have to make you think about the next game.

Even having a game cancelled. You get up to the date of a double header. You have to rest players, then split some of your squad for both games.
So, something which people don't understand why we would like a feature like this, would bring more to the game.

Plus as you're playing and the rain is getting worse, you will think is this going to get delayed or will we finish this game all the way through with no delay.

I agree! Rotating future schedules needs to be in the game too!

Re: MLB The Show 16 Twitch Stream Starts Now - Graphics Improvements

I love the Show and buy it every single year and I think it looks a lot better this year with the PBR and what they've added. My question is why do you think they go into so much detail on things we will never see while playing the game? Such as the picture frames in a suite booth, or the nice reflections on lamps in certain areas. As this all looks really cool...when do we ever see this besides when they do fly cam streams like this?

Because, someone will go looking for things like this and point out how wrong it is..............just ask merchant1874. In MLB 14 he did exactly what you just said and went into Safco Field and took a picture of the rafters at the top of the stadium and pointed out how it looked like a carboard cutout rather than a solid object. You might think it's pointless, but there will always be someone out there that takes it to the extreme.
