Re: Gamespot:First Look Gameplay And New Features

Ramone also mentions in this video that they are going to put up another video about a feature they added that people have been asking for, for years apparently. Curious what it could be? Roster import feature? Player import into franchise mode feature? Any guesses?

First instinct is to say Expansion/Relocation, but it'll probably be something more like rain outs.

Maybe "Create a team" feature?

Create a team + being able to upload your logo would be a dream come true.

I’ve wanted this since NCAA Football introduced their Teambuilder feature. And again with NBA 2k’s editor upgrades the past few years.

For the "Feature people have been asking for" thing my money is going on a logo uploader similar to NBA 2k.

Damn, did the game play that smooth on regular PS4 last year?

If not, I really need to think about getting a Pro... Even tho I dont have a 4k TV.

That looked silky smooth!

That's what I am thinking to. Because in one of the videos he did mention that they had something new with rain as well?

Re: Gamespot:First Look Gameplay And New Features

Expansion/Relocation is my guess, but Im hoping it is finally the ability to import new players into existing franchises.

Re: Gamespot:First Look Gameplay And New Features

One thing I noticed when seeing the batter view that the ball being pitched looked more realistic, instead of a white dot it looked more like baseball with shadow coming to the batter, JMO

would be cool..but curious how far they implemented it:


- just rain delays where after a 2hrs wait you have to change your starting pitcher ? ..and game resume with no rain and wet field ?

- a pre-game postponed game being re-scheduled on a scheduled OFF day ?

- full blown : pre-game postponed or during game delays and/post-poned with a re-scheduled double-headers !??

TBH I still think putting in doubleheader logic (the game re-scheduling them) would be a logistical nightmare seeing as the real MLB often has trouble with it too, and as such I'll be surprised if postponements ever make it in.

I kind of feel like Ramone might be referring to the rain affecting on-field play (players slipping, more errors, etc).

Re: Gamespot:First Look Gameplay And New Features

Love the new pitching animations for Severino and Gray (from the IGN video). They both look so much better than what they each had last year. Hick's new stance also looks great.

Love that they got Sanchez's face in this time. He looked so terrible last year that I actually used a player-created Sanchez from the vault that looked so much better than the in-game Sanchez.

Glad they got the Judge's chambers in the game as well (from the trailer). I hope they were able to add the stadium lights flickering on and off for HRs during night games.

Judges stance looks way better than last year's abomination, but it is still not correct. Hopefully they just haven't added in Judge's mo-capped stance yet. Torreyes and Andujar look to have generic stances. Torreyes had his own stance in last year, but it wasn't very accurate.

Re: Gamespot:First Look Gameplay And New Features

I'm I the only one here who really would like the batter coming to the plate overlays to show the batters fielding Position example 3B,LF instead of whether the batter bats left or right example L,R? I don't want to complain to much but if they could just make some small changes here and there in the overlays would just be icing on the cake


However I do like that they made the MLB Network Scorebug more accurate.

And they even made the Home Run Overlays unique for MLB network compared to the other broadcasts presentations

I hope all of the different broadcasts presentations got some nice upgrades and I am mainly talking about the stat overlays!
