Kudos to the mods for jumping on that one quickly. This has actually been one of the more peaceful lead ups to The Show that I can recall. Haven't seen much in the way of attacks from either faction toward each other or toward the developers. Hopefully that continues, where everyone can express their opinions and respectfully so.

I've seen a few shots at the Devs, but for the most part I agree.

I would really love to see some 90s era SF Giants throwback UNIs. They've had the same classics for a while and they really arent from any iconic Giant teams.

Judging by the 19 throwbacks they added, the A's 50th anniversary unis didn't make it?

I think the A's are using the new kelly green jersey instead of the green alt they have used the past few years.

Are the 19 throwbacks the only new ones they added? I asked about the Rays uniform during the stream but didn't get a response.

So in terms of the rain delays...

Every time it rains, does it automatically lead to a delay?

So again, I’m sure I’m posting this in the wrong thread, but... I’m literally at a Walmart now trying to preorder my copy of the game. They are showing that they won’t even have a game until the 27th. So they won’t do a pre-order for me. Furthermore trying to preorder it though the store links on the shows page the only store that says it will have the game In Store on the 23rd is Best Buy. I’d rather do it through Walmart so I can grab it at midnight, and I’d get the digital, but last year something got screwed up and I had to also buy a physical copy. Anyway, I’m trying to preorder this game, but the stores don’t even know about FPW and none of them will guarantee me that they’ll even have it. I’m sure this will all get ironed out, but I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem.

I don't buy at Wal-Mart so no idea.. I don't see anywhere on their site that they are doing the whole 23rd release time frame.

Pre-ordered and ready to go at Best Buy. MVP Edition for 56 bucks.
No midnight but I'm too old to stay awake anyways.
I'll be at store right at 10am to pick it up on the 23rd.

This dev team is tone def to the things we want fixed or added to the game.

I wish they had waited to implement the rain delays until they had rainouts and double headers to go with it. It almost seems like they threw this in just to appease the people requesting it.

Some of the tweets in this topic are laughable. The stream was informative and entertaining. If you didn’t enjoy the stream, what is the point of noting it other than to take a shot at the devs? The devs add so much to the game every year, many of which come from this community. So to suggest the devs are tone deaf to what community wants is sad.

Many people on this forum have requested rain delay. They get it and now complain that the get rain delay. What did you expect when the devs already said rain outs and double headers were unlikely? Didn’t stop folks from requesting rain delay. Now they get it and before they even see it in action, they complain. Give the devs a break. I am grateful they listened to the community and added it.

As for the uniform colors, get over it. The uni colors are pretty good but not perfect. I get people wanting more accurate uni colors but the incessant whining is too much. If the devs felt they were either wrong or easy to change, I would think they would have done it. Why do you seriously think they have not? And dont say because they don’t care anout the community. If they didn’t care, the game probably wouldn’t have many of the little things it has now. And they certainly wouldn’t be doing dev streams.

I could care less about DD, play now, legend (though I like classic seasons and teams), and retro modes. They could put those resources in to franchise or the replay system. They haven’t but I’m not going to whine about it. The devs read all the posts. They know the community wants more accurate unis. So you have to ask why reasonably they haven’t done it. But be fair to them. There is a difference between constructive criticism and destructive criticism.

No, it doesn't. They answered that question in the twitch chat. Also the rain is dynamic and the delay period seems to be variable. Pitcher stamina is also impacted by the delay. Not an incredibly deep feature, but probably enough to not seem too tacked on.

I need to go back and watch the VoD along with its chat perhaps...I left it off (except during the giveaway) because I didn't want to see a bunch of stupid questions about franchise, DD, and RTTS in a little things stream.

Any other nuggets they mentioned in chat but not on stream?

So we went from elated at the beginning of the week to now dejected? I'm just trying to keep up.

A "small" thing but huge overall IMO was them tuning the contact and power swings also.
