Franchise radio sounds awesome! Too bad no sounds of the show though

Can someone give me a general overview of what was said? I can't get the podcast to work for me for some reason.

They made a strong effort to work on areas they deemed to be weak in the game and a lot of that is gameplay. Talked about the radio show and how it will involve you with what's going on around the league. More immersion. I took it as it will be playing while you're in the main menu areas. There may be a show in January, where they might show the game and it might be playable. Really vague here. More info coming in January.

Most new gameplay features in franchise history, year to year saves, universal rewards is a new feature different than universal currency from last year. Ramone said a few times "you'll be getting stuff by just playing the game". Diamond dynasty changed quite a bit, more accessible, easier to understand. "Distilled to it's core" is how Ramone described it. Ramone stressed a few times its early in the process.

1. Player personality and emotion is a big focus for this years game and the next couple years. Year 1 is cosmetic but could eventually have gameplay effect (confidence, etc.).

2. Retractable domes - can't say anything right now

3. Rainouts - No

4. Lighting will be drastically different

5. Had a secret community day a couple weeks ago

6. Year to Year saves - will work for the life of the console (maybe even on to ps5)

7. Sounds of the Show - Not this year (too late to get it done)

8. Most new features in core gameplay ever in Mlb The Show history

9. New stadiums for minor leagues

10. Will be doing live twitch streams (at least 15 on schedule)

11. There will be legends in the game

12. Most recognizable licensed brands (Nike, Rawlings, Louisville Slugger, etc.)

13. Radio Show will help to bring more immersion to the league and what is going on

14. Stubs: If you didn't have to spend money to play last year, you won't have to spend a dime this year. They're developing the use of XP, but will never make you have to pay to play.

15. Diamond Dynasty "distilled" and is less confusing and more accessible

16. It's early! Everyone remember that this was for the fans and not supposed to be a major reveal, so contain all excitement and disappointment until we get closer to release and more information is released


A great listen and quality podcast. Full respect to Ramone and crew for keeping up the solid work year after year

Thañks man. All sounds good. I'm still hopeful with retractable roofs. Looking forward to January and the 15 twitch streams.
