Russell, can you confirm whether the following issues or features have been changed or added?

1. Manage Only Mode in online play. I wish to pit my player manager skills against others, not my button mashing skills.

2. Classic Stadiums. This is something many of us have wanted for years. Even the DLC's have not done it justice.

3. Virtual Baseball Cards. Not just a Legend or two per team but the ability to open up actual baseball card packs from any maker for any given year. How could would it be to open up a pack of 1987 Topps, 1984 Fleer or 1990 Score or 1952 Bowman? The ages of the packs, and the likelihood of getting good cards in them, could depend on how much a player invests in The Show. 2014 The Show got the most gaming time out of any game I have ever played!

I noticed in the stream that they showed the stats of a player's card. It did not show the number 2B or 3B for the player, although it was just one screen. I am also keeping in mind it is "WIP". It's no biggie, but I just remembered the old Topps card when the series first started. It was very detailed in stats.

1) I'm 99% sure that MOM is still for offline only.

2) No classic stadiums

3) No on the virtual baseball cards

1. No and if I was a betting man I wouldn't count on that being added ever.

2. No and they are most likely never coming to PS4. When we first included them we had a terrible ROI.

Well then, here's to hoping for create-a-stadium somewhere down the road

[FreeGordon12]

Things off the top of my head that I'd like to see in next year's game, just in general
Create a ball park
Roster transfer
Classic stadiums
Commentary overhaul, presentation upgrade
More variety of GM goals as someone mentioned
