Really looking forward to that gameplay stream now. Branching to make a play after an error or knocking a tough hard hit ball down.....cool stuff. We already had bad reads and jumps on fly balls but it looks like they tuned it even more. Defense will matter more.


Also.......start a career with a legend player looks like it will be a reality (Babe Ruth and then the tier team select screen).

Again though......want to see franchise mode and presentation stuff later on this month. It is critical to me.

The new tag system does look good. Not a RTTS or DD guy, so the rest, even the legends, honestly doesn't interest me at all..

I expect defense to put me over the top this year my run for the Cu Young

New way to bunt?

Sure hope they have the option to use solid colored socks without the MLB logo/team marking.

Realistic and up to date no doubt, but without a slew of new throwback uni's or a creator it would be a big knock to the retro crowd.

Not even worried about gameplay, will be solid like usual.

Edit: Noticed when they dropped the trailer but forgot to mention they have new Mariners throwbacks in as well. You can tell by them not having that nauseating MLB tag on the back of the pants.

I like the idea of a new fielding system (bad defenders punishing you, value in good defenders, etc), though we'll see if it truly makes that big of a difference. The trailer breakdown gave me a few takeaways:

1. Defense is the biggest gameplay change they focused on this year
2. Diamond Dynasty got a bunch of new legends, some more than once at different stages of their career
3. RTTS was worked on. Will have to wait to see how much changed in that stream to clarify what all changed in RTTS. They made a point that they had several developers working on RTTS to improve it this year.
4. Franchise wasn't mentioned, and it's looking really likely that they are just carrying over 2018's franchise mode. While they made a point to say multiple devs worked to improve RTTS, not mentioning Franchise is an obvious bad sign for franchise players

Isn’t that just the influence of which direction you want it?

I felt that last years version was really the first time defense felt important

Can you bunt with the right stick in 18? I thought it was only triangle.

Don’t tell me they added more info on screen !! Noooooooo

Hope there’s an option to get rid of the R2 label and the new bunting one. Pleeaaaase.

Why do I get the feeling that I was being talked to like I was a 12 year old kid?? Nothing that hasn't been broken down yet, just again iterating how RTTS and DD show up in the trailer but no Franchise info.

I hope they have got fielding right this year as last year they put so much emphasis on adding all these impressive, spectacular plays, they ended up being triggered all the time by everyone.

I like the idea of Trumbo taking a bad jump, but that can't be the extent of a bad fielders limitations. I'm seriously hoping the more "difficult" animations come with a higher fail percentage, hugely reliant on the players defence ratings as that's the key problem imo. The fact that it was followed up by an unbelievable one handed recovery play by Max Muncy is a bit of a concern on that front. Last year on default settings, even a team of horrible fielders frequently looked like a team of the greatest fielders of all time. IF they have successfully addressed that then it will be a huge improvement.

They mentioned 4-5 devs working on RTTS and only have 1 working on franchise? SMH. The one guy must be the weird dev nobody really likes.

And 4 guys worked a whole year to change the bus and plane on RTTS? Does that make one single person decide they are buying this version? As opposed to adding expansion/relocation/custom jerseys or full minor leagues in Franchise?

Yes, and hopefully that way is " successfully " lol
