I did kind of a marathon session yesterday playing a whole slew of Opening Day CPU vs CPU games on full presentation Broadcast mode. Now I did not watch every inning of every game, but I had all these games going this because I wanted to see as many Big League stadiums as I could on Opening Day where the presentation was one of the main focuses. Ignoring three things where I believe the current build of MLB 15 comes up short this year (the fact that they removed pick off attempts at 1^st base, they removed the “Runner” HUD windows in CPU vs CPU games as well as in MoM games and they removed most foul ball animations into the crowd). Ignoring this issues, I was thoroughly impressed with the overall presentations in MLB 15 The Show. The Big League stadiums in the game are great, the new lightning graphics enhancements, the new player animations, the new player API and ball physics really bring this game to life. I still have not seen any extra ordinary player emotions in the games but I have seen a couple of walk off game winning home runs and for sure they have been tweaked for the better this year. Now if only SCEA would fix the lack of pitcher pick off issues to 1^st base that plaque the game this year, bring back the “Runners” HUD window (I thought there was a reason why this HUD window could be turned on and off in a config screen) and perhaps show some of the foul balls when in full Broadcast presentation mode I could give the game three thumbs up.

PS: for most of this year I see myself skipping the new Radio Show feature. But I am looking forward to listening to it either late this evening when all my Opening Day games are completed or before I begin the Tuesday games tomorrow, because I execute the Braves and Padres blockbuster trade last night when word got out of the trade. Then during my Dodgers/Padres CPU vs CPU game, Kimbrel was called into a tight 2-1 game and got the save. Curious to hear what the Radio Show has to say about all of this. I’ll be impressed if they mention not only the trade (I am expecting the Radio Show will mention it), but also the fact that Kimbrel got the save for his new team. Now that would be impressive if that is mentioned in the show.
