    MLB 15 The Show Has New Human IK Engine, Tag System, Commentary, Overhauled Franchise


    More MLB 15 The Show details have been revealed by Target. They also have a special pre-order price of $39.99 for PlayStation 4 gamers, but many are getting errors when trying to get it at that price, (thanks for the heads up Gleebo)!

    Some of the new details that have been revealed on their product page include a new New Human IK Engine, new Tag System, revamped commentary, overhauled Franchise mode and more.

    For the first time, partnerships with real-world equipment brands will bring MLB-accurate bats, gloves, shoes, and batting gloves to the game. Customize your Road to The Show player in the best gear from the sport’s best brands.

    It’s not just the gear that’s more authentic this year. Players and teams also have more unique personalities and styles plus a wide array of emotional reactions to all the heartbreak and triumph on the field.

    And that field will be more action-packed with new animations, a new tag system, and completely new Human IK engine. In 2015, playing the field will be as exciting as stepping up to the plate.

    MLB 15 The Show also features major graphical improvements. Enhanced stadium lighting, Improved gloss and specular, resulting in more natural lighting on players. Seasonal day/night transitions have also been added into the world of The Show.

    And the improvements aren’t all animations and graphics. The game itself has gotten deeper with more ways to play, earn rewards, and put together a Hall of Fame career.

    Best of all, Universal rewards will mean that all of that gameplay earns Stubs that can be spent on licensed equipment, Road to The Show improvements, and virtual baseball cards. We’re introducing 30 Iconic MLB Alumni into our virtual player card pool, 1 representative for each team. These players span every historic baseball era of the last 70 years. Like all of our Universal Rewards, you have a chance of finding a historic virtual player card to add to your collection and utilize throughout MLB 15 The Show.

    Make yourself a legend and never start your career or season over again. With Year-to-Year saves, users will be able to continue their Road to The Show players and Franchises from MLB 14 The Show into MLB 15 The show, and into future releases.“

    All of that is only scratching the surface of how MLB 15 The Show is ready to prove that Baseball Is Better. Revamped commentary, improved load times, and an overhauled franchise mode are also on-deck to help make the 10th edition of The Show the best one yet.

      Overhauled franchise and not just tweaked. Hopefully SDS added a lot of options to customize. That would go further than anything else to make the mode deeper, IMO

        Overhauled franchise mode has me excited. It's been in desperate need of an overhaul. More stat tracking would be so nice.

          Very excited to hear more about the revamped franchise mode. Maybe custom draft classes? I am a bit worried that retractable roof stadiums will still only be open being that I imagined it probably would of been announced already.

              Commentary and Franchise. All I need. AHHH! So excited. Hopefully everything from offline franchise makes it to Online. That would be great. Me and my buddy got 8 seasons deep last year.

                    Not necessarily. Not all features have been announced. I would wait until the fact sheet comes out or if Ramone confirms anything before then.

                        This is all fine and good, but are they finally going to expand career stat tracking this year?

                          and does improved franchise mode affect cross over year to year save files for this mode or do they just affect new franchises started actually in 15?

                            Cross over saves will get whatever features that are in future versions. Otherwise there would be absolutely no point to it.

                              Load times were absolutely agonizing in 2014. Anything here will be greatly appreciated.

                              I'm glad for revamped commentary, especially if it's paying more attention to season progress and good transitions between player names and canned phrases (in particular with custom player names). MLB 2K was actually good at making commentary sound somewhat fluid.
