I know that goes against MLBTS's norm, as they tend to use a lot of alternative rock songs from non-mainstream bands in their sound track.

I remember back when the triple play series went with rock mostly. 2001 was one of my favorites when they used Steppenwolf Magic Carpet Ride. That got you jonesing to play the game.

Open disclosure here. I am a black middle age guy. I loved the hell out that Magic Carpet Ride. I did not skip it every time I loaded the game. It got you pump. Now "Radioactive" intro for the Show is pretty good!

Radioactive, that was ML 13, right? I skipped that one every time. The song was just SOOO overplayed!!!

Slightly off topic, best intro video for ANY sports game ever? NHL 98
I still go back on YouTube and watch it every now and then.

I hope they do something similar to 14.

I just youtubed it. That was 90's cheezyness at its best. Also, gotta love watching Marty Brodeur score a goal.

They used the same style for triple play 98 that year. Must of had the same team do it.

I'd prefer they go the NBA 2k16 route... LOL. That intro was wtf, but the game is fantastic!

I liked 14, so either replicating that or using live footage. If they did it like 14, it would be nice to see Safeco and the Mariners though


I really just don't like the single player montage. Include all teams.


If you're going to do a montage, at least make it of a player that anyone that's a fan of the game would love (Jeter, Griffey, etc.)


Actually, a really cool intro this year would be a montage of all of the young rookies that came up last year with real footage. Bryant, Syndergaard, Corey Seager, Pederson, Kang, Sano, Correa, Lindor, etc.
