Can't blame them when the precedent has been set.

I'm not blaming anyone, I prefer sarcasm instead.

So do I understand this correctly? There are in total four feature presentations and the first two are Storylines leaving two feature presentations for everything else?

Correct

Just guessing here… 3/7 is Gameplay and Presentation and 3/14 is DD.

My guess is 3/7 is presentation, gameplay, RTTS, franchise, and March to October and 3/14 is DD. They likely stick almost everything into one stream so the last is reserved for DD content and new programs, etc. My guess is they also do legend reveals those weeks as well.

Does anyone know what mode tomorrow’s feature premiere is on? Or is SDS just kind of winging it this year?

The premieres tomorrow will cover gameplay and ratings.

They also mentioned “more” which is expected to be modes (RTTS, Franchise, March to October) as well as presentation.

Same slide and lead off animations for the last 10 years. But they added hundreds of new animations!? I'm still confused how this got sports game of the year. Where there improvements yes! But not enough to make it a sports game of the year! I still can't cover the 2nd base bag as a infielder on a ball hit to the outfield and the runner will just stroll on in to be safe! and that is just one of many fundamental baseball elements missing in this game! I can easily list 10 but not going to wait until MLB 26 for it.

On the stream they tried to sound humble and say that they listened to community feedback I must be in the wrong forum because I know on these forums we have been posting legit feedback for years and seeing little to no implementation so I found that hard to believe when the design director said this on the stream! The crowd looked promising but that ship sailed like 3 iterations ago!

Most of the other sports games other than NBA 2k were absolutely awful this year yet again. The Show needs more but the core gameplay is still some of the best.

@desouza7 friendly debate/challenge here! What do you feel is included in the core gameplay that makes it some of the best?

Compared to the other games, it plays the smoothest. The ball physics have been great the last few years and you see tons of hit variety. Pitching mechanics usually work pretty well too. The game keeps playing fresh and while there are bugs and glitches, they are way less than other games like Madden and EAFC for example. It just plays like I’d expect baseball to be played whereas Madden, EAFC, and NHL don’t play as I’d expect those sports to play and lean more towards unrealistic gameplay.

Like I said, the only major sports game that gives it a run for its money is NBA 2K. Both have solid base gameplay and just need to tweak some animations to make it even better rather than figure out the disaster that is the other games I listed.

It’s definitely not perfect, but compared to its peers, the gameplay blows them away and the fact that haven’t really messed with the hitting physics in the last 2 years due to customer feedback proves as such.

I am going to agree with you on the hit variation aspect, but I also want to say that my perspective is coming from a player that has been buying the game since MLB The Show 14 and take your offense perspective and apply it to my defensive perspective. I also want to say buyers who came in for the first time around MLB the show 22 and 23 will think this game is amazing which is fine but not the reality!

What still needs a lot of improvements instead of adding new marketing features without updating or enhancing core fundamentals of the game. I believe the team can make these changes but unfortunately for us gamers it’s the only realistic baseball sports simulation game on the market.

The game is very scripted on defense. To give some context I play as a player locked player from the first pitch in Franchise for all 9 innings. To elaborate on the scripted defensive game play a few examples would be a ball is hit to the outfield and the outfielders regardless of rating and stadium deign the ball always magically bounces to the outfielder to catch and perform a throw! It’s like they are always in the perfect position even with the new studder step and under playing the ball as a outfielder mechanic they introduced in MLB The Show 2023.

Another huge issue with the games defense is that the CPU plays around you and does include you in the defense unless as an infielder in my case the short stop the ball is hit directly at you. This seems to be the reason as a user controlled player you cannot cover the 2nd base bag on a ball hit to the outfield even on a slow runner making the turn from first to second. However in a scripted base stealing scenario play you are allowed to cover the bag in time for a throw. To test this out even further don’t make it to the bag in time and the catcher or 1st basemen will look clueless and throw it to you were you are standing on the field. It’s very disappointing when you are in a close game against the CPU and could have had an out verses a man on second base and that out could have made the difference.

This is only a small sample of what I have been experiencing and hoping for change with each new iteration since MLB 14 and these fundamental issues has never been addressed. So I am not sure how a baseball game can win sports game of the year when defensive flaws this big are not addressed. Now only if the on field coaches actually had an impact on the game on the field. Stamina affected all players from game to game for defensive and offensive performance and a nice injury system was implemented instead of a new marketing feature.

So no mention of anything new for March to October?
