I think the draft classes aren't downloadable/customizable unlike 2K because of the fact that an MLB Draft is 40 rounds, of 30 teams, from 4 regions, with a lot of players going undrafted. Also NBA and NFL draft classes are easy to follow along with because of the popularity of NCAA Men's Basketball and Football. It's hard to follow NCAA Baseball because of the lack of tv time and exposure compared to the other 2. So it is hard for fans to gather accurate information of enough college players to fill a draft class.

In NBA 2K there are 2 rounds of 32 teams and not all are selected but there are well over 100 prospects but as stated earlier, the amount of exposure top NBA Draft Prospects get throughout their college career especially because of the March Madness Tournament is a lot different from college baseball players.

But the draft in game is only 5 rounds. So that shouldnt matter.

More around 7 but I see you're point. Forgot all about that. I don't know then. Maybe it simply isn't a requested feature and is harder to implement that we know.

Does anyone know whether there's confirmation on these fixes:

1) Dropped third strikes with runners on at least 1B and 2 outs, the game forces us to make a throw for the out when this should not be the case. (Rule 6.05 I believe)

2) Runners should NOT be credited with a SB on a run and hit where the ball is put in play.

1) Actually, with two outs, the out ALWAYS has to be made at first regardless of baserunners. It is with 0 and 1 out that a runner on 1B makes the throw unecessary.

2) I agree that this was a huge bug last year. Also, on a run and hit where the ball is put in play, runners were given a CS if they were forced or tagged out. This is a huge bug that throws off statistical balance.

For rounds 6-10 only 21% make it to MLB and only 6% last 3 years. The results regress the lower in the draft a player is taken. After round 20 only 1% last 3 years in MLB.

To replicate the MLB draft you would be populating the game with close to 1,000 extra players every year the vast majority of whom are worthless filler for milb squads.

The current system in the show is done so the devs can replicate a franchise in future years which has an adequate number of MLB level players without overwhelming the game with worthless players. MLB does it to keep their milb affiliates populated with an adequate number of players with a salary which allows those teams to make a profit. For me it would be a chore to go through the system every off season and release 30 worthless players to be replaced by 30 worthless players simply to fill the milb affiliates with cheaper labor.

I wonder if the hit and run bug impacts anything other than stats. With progression based stats does the game punish or reward a player based on steals and caught stealing? It sounds like the kind of thing they would fix because it is probably a simple fix.

Quick question is this game going to be 1080p? Or 720p?

Definitely 720p for PS3 and I am guessing 1080p on PS4 like last year.

I'm pretty sure MLB 15 the show was 1080p on PS4. So 16 should be 1080p as well.

Are the same ML records in the game? Meaning, Cy young wins, Eric Gagne's consecutive saves streak, etc?

I can't help but wonder which cities will have frown faces for player morale.

This is mostly because I'm a huge Indians fan and my fair city in the 216 gets dumped on quite a bit by haters.

Hoping it is based on the fans in the city more than the location. Otherwise, everyone will pick Miami, LA or San Diego.

It's if there close to home or not. Does not matter the type of city.

Good to know... I have a feeling that I will be saving every penny through the 2017 season in hopes of attracting one of the big names to Cleveland.

Any word on how budgets will function and if they will increase with better team performance, etc?

They briefly discuss budgets here.

Regarding location I suspect there will be some sort of a regional map so a guy whose hometown is in a state without a MLB team can be made happy.
