What's the difference between ignoring and disabling in a single-player mode? The AI's not going to get to use them, obviously. Only thing I can see that would be reason to get upset over is leaderboards (and, let's face it - us sim guys are NEVER going to show up on those anyway, due to the difficulty levels we play on)

Umpire personality intrigues me. Really only expect this to affect home plate umps but hoping for something along the lines of each umpire having a different set of beliefs out there while calling games if you set it to variable balls and strikes. Like "Gives All-Stars Slack" and will call borderline calls in favor of an all star player or "Hard on Rookies" and won't give them the benefit of the doubt on check swings or border line pitches.

Ignoring it would mean that the prompts always pop-up, but I have to just cancel or back out of the window during the game. I would like to not have any mention of it or it be a thing in my career.

Not knocking anyone that would want it, just not my thing. And since they were looking for feedback I thought I would chime in. I might try the bullet time feature if it were separate, but doubt I would get into much. The game has been pretty good about being customizable in the past, just hoping that continues in moving forward.

Road To The Show is a mode that revolves around artificially injecting your player with magical points that make him faster, stronger, and better at various facets of baseball. You get to do this after every few games. Then, after a few years, you have the framework of a sure 1st ballot hall of famer. By the way, this entire time, you are immortal and immune to injuries.

If an ultra-realistic mode is what you're looking for, RTTS shouldn't have had your attention in the first place.

I'm curious to hear about the Player Uniqueness. Intrigued as to what that will involve.

They've already touched a little on this already with the new baserunning, where there is more variation in the style of running. I'm not sure if this is the type of things they are referring to when they talk about player uniqueness, but it does create more disparity on the field.

Gee thanks, next you'll tell me that it is a video game.

Sounds of the Show being mentioned has me giddy.
