Very underwhelming first info. Graphically the same as The Show 14 which already wasn't that amazing- I know it's early but I guess if they created new player models they wouldn't release a trailer featuring actual gameplay with the old ones but find another solution to present the game at this early point..

And it seems like a joke if those 3 features (legends-idc, equipment-nice but minor, year to year saves- was already for 2014) are some of the more outstanding ones.
I'm just hoping there will be more or they really invested the time this year to fix all those minor annoyances that accumulated.

I can't wait for March 31st, but I can't help but be underwhelmed, just judging by a simple initial trailer.

- Graphics look exactly the same. Which means the player models are still the same from the PS3. Not sure how strongly I should feel about this.

- They might not be ready to release more information, but Legends and Authentic Equipment don't have me hyped for the new game or anything.

I'm expecting more to come shortly, so no reason to worry

For me, being a roster guy, I'm not a fan of the March 31st release.

I will wait until SCEA release the hardcore fact sheet on this game before making any type of judgment. This is nothing more than a general population trailer.

Until then, I'll just enjoy the show.

I will agree with about 5 people who have already posted this, but the graphics look nearly identical to '14. That's a bit disappointing, BUT I'll take it if SCEA was able to clean up the animations a little bit while making minor advances graphically.

Also, pumped about the y-2-y saves because I am 100 games deep into my chise! Forward compatible is sweet music to my ears and this means, in all likelihood, that the OSFM rosters for '14 will be the starting point for MLB15 roster development instead of creating spects from scratch every year. That will save the entire OS roster community a month or more of work. That's a big deal.

I'll have to agree with you on this, actually I was thinking more mlb 17 or 18 right when the ps3 version is phased out. I recall alot of complaints about player models alligator arms for years on the ps3 and it wasn't until mlb 9 or 10 when that finally changed. And it wasn't until mlb 11 where they were really hitting their strides with graphics and game play. It sucks having to wait a few years into the development cycle of a new Gen console. But with a crew as small as the shows and working on 3 sku's at the same time, they do do a damn good job on putting out a solid playable game year after year.

And that's the part some people FAIL to realize. The show has a small team working across 3 platforms on a budget.

Not going to get my hopes up too high, but I hope they include classic stadiums for 2015.

Yikes, weak trailer. I can recall being blown away with previous premiere trailers, this has been the worst thus far.
I LOOOOVE Nike, but really? that's it? Custom equipment? Wonder about bats and fielding gloves.

Licensed Equipment – For the first time ever, partnerships from various brands will bring accurate bats, gloves, cleats, and batting gloves to the game.

Wow...i really love the Y2Y addition...IMO, all sports should have this option!!!!


I wonder if the new features in 15 (like equipments etc) will be incorporated to the 14 saved Franchise and RTTS.

That's what they say... Im sure there will be some things. Let's hope they don't "strike out" and miss on obvious brands such as Rawlings an Wilson along with their models, not just a small symbol on a generic glove, although even that is an improvement I suppose

No it just sounds like an excuse. Nba 2k14 a launch game had amazing graphics and they had to make the game on xbox 360 and ps3 to so they didn't get a full cycle. Then with 2k14 coming out on ps4, xbox1 in November mid November they had a slightly shorter cycle for nba 2k15 and the game looks great. If NBA 2k14 was able to look great and it was the first game on a new sysmem then why cant mlb the show? That makes no sinces. So you are telling me that we are going to have to weight for mlb 17 to have a big jump? That would be the 4th game on ps4. So NBA 2K was able to have a big jump the first year but yet it is going to take 4 years for mlb to do the same thing? Makes no sinces. If NBA 2k14 was able to make a big jump first year there is no reason that mlb shouldn't beable to do the same thing.

Never buying this game again until I hear the same glitches/bugs that are a repeat EVERY year are gone. Freezes with balls in dirt and other similar problems make this game not enjoyable.

I can't comment on looks, I just hope that when we get to hear commentary, we have some kind of improvement. If not, that's what will disappoint me.
