even no tattoos rub me wrong.

You won't buy a baseball game because of the inability to have tattoos on a player? Wow.

is a WAR stat included this year?

Getting WAR implemented might be tough because it encompasses defense in the formula. Would be cool if they did implement it tho.

I would actually love it if we could plaster the outfield walls with sponsors, or even the large scoreboards. It would just be aesthetically pleasing seeing the sponsors making a larger impact on the presentation side of things.

No, it's not the waiting. It's just when you invest 100's of hours in editing a roster, it's tiresome doing it over and over again. I've helped make a hybrid roster 2 years running and it's a lot of work and I'm not sure why SDS keeps making us do over--they certainly know about OSFM. It would be nice if they'd explain to us why roster carryover is not feasible, exactly. Roster carryover would save tons of people here tons of time.

I love your roster and what I would highly suggest is you update the transactions from the winter meetings and up through spring training and upload a 2016 version of it.

Then you can simply start a new franchise on 15 and save that as a master file and then carry over that master file to 16 and start a new franchise. That is at least a viable solution till/if we get roster transfer.

Plus I know you can export all the players and then import them to a new roster so a lot of work can be avoided. Many roster makers did that with classic rosters and simply "ported" them from 14 onto 15 using this method. Still work, but the creation process was drastically cut down.

Anyway I know I am going to use the most updated hybrid roster I can find and go forward with that on 16 (plus transfer all my classic roster files) instead of waiting 4 months.

Lots of no's for sure. Really disappointed in the no roster transfer. That cannot be technically difficult. Conversely, you would think a franchise transfer would be harder.

I feel for the roster makers out there. How many times can you create the historic rosters? You get burned out for sure.

I am sure we will see lots of new stuff like new brands, updated gear, new logos, etc. If that is your thing, great. How about adding stuff that makes it easier for the community to add to the game (rosters) and keep us engaged longer?

I want to see what is actually included before I rush out for the purchase. Retractable roofs don't do it for me.

All I want is New Balance and Adidas cleats and I'll be happy. Would also like the option to put some of those sponsors around the stadium. Having some Nike, UA, Marucci logos around the outfield and stadium would add to the realism.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A on Twitter Reveals Some More Details - No Create a Stadium

To be honest I suspect it will be a lot of no's for what I want with the Twins and jerseys. Another skip year of baseball probably, but I sure hope 17 has what I need because that is getting too far into a generation for me not to have baseball.

LOL, that's by your own choice though.

Calling it an interview is a huge stretch I'm just randomly answering random questions nothing more nothing less.

Could you randomly answer a few questions here for us? [emoji6]

I completely agree with you on this one. I am tired of seeing 15 MLB The Show ads all over the stadium. Especially the eye sore of 3 right next to each other behind home plate at Turner.

It's posts like these that make me love Operation Sports. Although I decided to buy The Show every year on release day and let it sit on the shelf until the OSFM rosters come out, this simple trick might energize me to play the game while I wait or buy it every year.

AS for this question and answer session. I know it's early but I think it sets a tone of expecting more of the same as last year. Lots of refinement but limited new features. I started buying sport's games on every other year for this reason. MLB even years, NBA2k odd years, so every year I get a new game and I'm never disappointed.

Looks like you'll have to WaitTilNextYear. [emoji2]

Will you be here all week?

Ramone's reply to this question makes me feel like it'll be more like Cub fan waiting til next year than actually waiting til next year, if you get my drift.

Appreciate the advice, but anyone who works on a quality roster knows that part of what keeps you churning is the pursuit of a [relatively] perfect roster. No way I can just update transactions and call it good. There's the re-rating (which, to be fair, would need to be done even if there were roster carryover). There's the improving and research and quality control. There's the creating and shuffling in interesting new prospects. There's updating contracts. There's....always more to it...you get the idea and roster carryover, even though it wouldn't make rosters automatic, would be a nice way to allow roster people to build on their work rather than to repeat it.

Sure there is a workaround method with the CPU roster control and exporting-importing a player at a time, but there are drawbacks to that method (after accounting for the tedium of actually doing the importing/exporting) such as certain faces/players not transferring over properly so you have to double check everything anyway.

I am just trying to think of why they can't figure out how to do roster carryover if they can do franchise carryover...seeing that a roster is inside of a franchise file?? One thing I thought of is service time, but the 'easy' solution is to make that editable just like contracts became editable. Is it an MLBPA issue and them not wanting "old" versions of their players floating around in new games? I have to believe there is a bureaucratic/legal reason and not a technological one. All I know is that I wish they would implement roster carryover to help out roster people.

Wow, with so many "no" answers, I find it difficult to see any point in buying this years game... Can you imagine if a Q&A for a 2K basketball game looked like that???

I mean look at the type of questions though. If the "no's" to those particular questions cause you to not want to buy the game, maybe you should wait until more important information is released.

An informal Q&A on Twitter where Ramone is primarily only addressing questions that have been asked repeatedly long before the MLB 16 reveal. It makes sense that he would only use it to answer some of the basic questions that have been asked before. They've already said they are going to start the real "new content" reveals in late January. He certainly isn't going to answer questions about new stuff that isn't even public yet.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A on Twitter Reveals Some More Details - No Create a Stadium

For me the gameplay each and every year get's better and better. That is what always keeps me coming back.

I expect the same type of upgrade on the field again for 16 and I am sure the Franchise mode and presentation upgrades will be sweet.

I am stoked for the fact sheet and the twitch sessions again!!!
