MLB 15 The Show Available Now on PlayStation Store - Pre-Load & Play At Midnight 3/31

[A_Quiet_Pro]

MLB 15 The Show is available now to pre-order on the PlayStation Store. Both the Standard ($59.99) and Anniversary Edition ($69.99) are available. Gamers will be able to start the download process before the actual release date, so they can start playing at midnight on March 31st.

There were unforseen technical issues last year that delayed the official release until later in the day, hopefully things go much better this year.

sorry this is probably a real dumb question, but you can buy it but not download and play it, right?

Right. it's downloaded, but I won't be able to pre install until what 3/29-30? I take that back. I've bought it. But it's not downloaded. (I'd say because there's nothing to download. The game technically isn't completed yet, so it can't download an unfinished game) This is more or less a placeholder purchase right now.

I just added it to my download queue, and the pre install timer came up with 48 days and change.... so it's a safe bet it will work fine.

Pre-loading wasn't a thing yet when the Show came out last year, this will be the first time we'll be able to take advantage of it. Not having it available last year is what caused the launch day mess with the digital version.

I'm definitely going digital pre-load this year. Plan on playing at 12:01AM Tuesday and I took the day off as well.

Yea thats right..i think that was the assumption before we realized that it wasn't offered for pre-download. I remember now

You should actually plan on playing at 12:00 not :01. HAHA. (Stores wait till :01 to make sure it's past Midnight.. But for digital pre orders that are pre downloaded... once 12:00 hits, the application launches instantaneously. (Provided you select it to play before the timer runs out).

On the topic of the digital version - did anyone buy it last year and if so, how were loading times? Anyone replace their stock HD with a hybrid or SSD and notice improvements? If there was no difference I might just roll with the physical version.

There will be no differences in load times between physical and digital. No matter what you play the whole game off the HDD.

This made me think of an interesting question only Ramone might have the answer to. When the preload starts, will that initiate the entire game download or just the base needed to start up the game and play a quick game (probably with the World Series teams)? Basically what I'm asking is will the entire game be downloaded and ready to go before release day (assuming the connection is fast enough), or will we actually have to start the game on release day to enable downloading the rest of the game?

Sorry if that's too confusing. Anyone who preloaded NBA2K might be able to answer this as well - I think they did it the same way.

I'm not sure what's actually downloaded first, but if you pre download 2 days before the entire game should be completely ready to go at midnight. Did this with madden and I was playing the full game at midnight

The entire game should download. Preload would be pretty much useless if it didnt.

Best part about this year is when i go to install the disk i can actually play with a team i like. WE WERE RELEVANT FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE!!!!!!

Dont you screw me Ramone. It better be the WS teams.
