    I believe MLB 15 is going to be the tenth iteration of The Show. That would officially make it the longest running baseball video game series (2K lasted 9 iterations and the last 3, quite literally, were just roster updates).

    When you get to this point, with so much code built upon code of previous versions, it's incredibly difficult to overhaul everything, or even a lot, in one development year without running the risk of seriously jeopardizing an already stable, quality product. As consumers, I feel we should do a better job of understanding that.

    However, what should be acknowledged is that the arrival of the PS4 offered the chance for the developers to really overhaul a lot of things for the new platform. Instead, what I, and I'm sure quite a few others feel like, is that SCEA continued to decide to play it safe and build upon the foundational base that already existed on the PS3. It didn't help that MLB 14 on PS4 felt rushed and, I suspect, was a forced deliverable by upper level Sony management.

    I can argue for both sides whether that was the correct or incorrect decision, but without using the dreaded "P" word, I think this is a big reason why the series still feels the same as it has, and why many people are disappointed. Some saw the ambitious strategy that 2K basketball took on their initial next gen offering last year, and while that version obviously had issues, the direction they were heading in was exciting. I don't presume to speak for most people, but I think lots want that kind of excitement with the Show as well.

    Yeah. I keep coming back to how their big selling point for MLB 14 on PS4 was "feature parity" and how the show won't take a couple of years to get up to the number of features that the PS3 game had. I think there was a big fear among sports games about repeating the mistakes that they made during the last generational jump and so parity and stability were placed above rehauling the games or big innovations.

      ATTENTION EVERYONE: I made a twitter account with the hopes of voicing our desire for transferable rosters in MLB The Show. Follow the account here @TransfShowRost

      Post with the hashtag in the bio, #GetTransferableRostersInTheShow15 and add @MLBTheShow so they see it

      Hopefully we can get the hashtag trending and get it noticed by MLB The Show and their developers. It's worth a shot, hopefully others feel the same way.

      Thanks

        MLB The Show "broadcast Presentation" has basically been stuck in neutral for the last 10 years!

        I think speak for a whole lot of us here when I say for MLB 16 The Show the developers should make the "broadcast Presentation" feature the number 1 priority. This would include flashy new Stat overlays including new HR Stat Overlay popup and better in between inning due up Stat overlays, Beginning of game stadium fly ins showing fans walking into the gates and buying food, better commentary including announcing of the starting line ups for both teams. Maybe even pre and post game shows from a studio. And many new camera views like seen in that summer wind trailer. And like others have said adding a lot more Batter walk ups, swing motions, better non robotic pitching motions and brand new player models would really go a long way in making MLB The Show really feel fresh, different and new.

        For me MLB 14 The Show is almost perfect except for one very very very big part of the game and that is the
        "Presentation" with all the power that the PS4 has and seeing what that other baseball video game has done with it's Presentation on much less powerful game systems I just expect a lot more from the Presentation in MLB The show on the PS4.

        My statements are just my feelings and maybe others and also to help the developers improve the game!

          Not happening this year period, it is on the list for next year though.

                It was already decided upon that they weren't going to do roster transfers this year and they weren't changing this late in production. They mentioned it a few times in the various threads.

                While I can appreciate the enthusiasm, posting in how many threads???, your efforts were ill-advised.

                But its on the list for next year, so we only have to endure, hopefully, one more year of not having rosters transfer.
                I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                  The gift that keeps on giving. I haven't heard "sike" for about 20 years so thanks for that.



                  And you totally missed my point. You have the devs here. ON THIS SITE. You don't need a twitter handle to get their attention which in your words was your point....

                    ^Not to mention, he got a reply from a developer less than 15 minutes later. That's getting their attention pretty good.

                    "Sike" is pretty vintage.

                              I'm new to the show. I bought the first illustration in '13. I'm still playing '14 on the PS4. So, maybe I can understand that lifelong fans are getting tired of the same presentation, graphics, etc..

                              Most fans who I talk to and on this community still have a blast playing the show. As well as myself. It's still the best sports game I've ever played. Just give them some time and I'm sure they will wow you again.
