MLB 15 The Show Fact Sheet - Gameplay Reveal Scheduled For February 5th on Twitch

[ShowTyme15]

Just read this.......

Our year to year save doesn't have to be uploaded to the cloud. MLB 15 will recognize the MLB 14 save.

This might be too complicated at this point, but how about in addition to listing all teams that are USER controlled, the save file can also remember which team was last selected (via L2/R2) before saving and include a team logo or name somewhere on the save file.

Another other option...when you do a save, could the save also take a screenshot of either the currently selected team logo or of the main franchise menu screen and put that in place of the generic image currently on the left side of the save file?

I think the greatest possibility is to make open and closed models of each retractable roof stadium and insert a closing/opening cut scene that you can fast forward through if you want. Having the stadium open and close in the game environment would be odd.

I gotta say the MLB 15 The Show Fact Sheet just blows away last years fact sheet!

It seems that there are a lot of new features and incremental updates. A lot of them seem to be pretty small additions (sorry devs, I know each thing is way more work for you than you get credit for) or stuff we already thought was included (directional hitting? I've already been left analog stick'ing it and at least have had the placebo of it working!)

One of the things on the fact sheet that I am most pleased about is editable contracts. That will help folks play even more realistically. The beefed-up commentary and emotion system should also be interesting.

I'm still a little baffled on how the stat-tracking is so far behind the rest of the game. I realize Ramone said '16 and all--I also think it's not something you just want to paper over--but that the game only keeps HR, RBI, hits, and AVG year after year is disturbing. Since I like to deal with prospects, I also don't like how you can't sort stats by level or playoffs/regular season. Having to remember to grab stats before the MiLB playoffs and move guys around levels just to see their stats is a chore. Ultimately for '16, I'd be really disappointed if SCEA isn't thinking along the lines of EXPORT DATA TO EXCEL. That would save me and countless others hours of data entry every season.

The holy grail, though, would be a game that looks a little better than '14, but has management depth like OOTP...I didn't say that I had realistic expectations!

All that said and I'm waiting on seeing what the gameplay visually looks like before committing one way or another. If the player models are better, then I'm likely to purchase. If not, then I'll likely go with OOTP '16 to scratch my baseball itch this year.

Probably isn't the place to ask, but would this be the same for Project CARS? They have close release dates in March.

So if MLB 15 can read the previous year's saves that gives me hope that player files and roster files might be transferable too... Anything to avoid having to redo faces lol

Just one real question will all of these features actually make it to the game? Because NBA 2k promised a bunch of features that never made the actual game. I know you guys aren't 2ksports, but I dont want want to get my hopes super high.

Don't worry, these guys come through.
