MLB The Show 25 Interview with Devs - Submit Q's for Gameplay and Franchise Mode

[Steve_OS]

Similar to our RTTS and Diamond Dynasty thread, we have an opportunity to chat with MLB The Show 25 devs next week about gameplay and Franchise Mode.

Not all questions will be answered, so make sure to post your best ones. If you see a question you like, be sure to "give it a thumbs up" so we know how important it is for the community to get the answers for them.

I'll probably close this thread at some point on Sunday evening.

Thanks all.

Will we be able to customize leagues in franchise, ie: number of teams, divisions or games? Realignment?

Is there a way to toggle off the HR Celebration camera like in past titles?

How does the new “pop time” attribute work? Does it only affect how fast a catcher releases the ball?

For franchise, is bullpen management fixed?

For franchise, can rules be changed mid save? (DH on/off, extra innings rule, etc?)

Would it be possible for spring training to just have a pool of players 85-90 for us to use in games? Not just the 40 man roster.

Maybe someone can word that better than I did.

I love this question.

Will NRI’s be possible in Spring Training so young guys can get some run without having to be on the 40?

What is the plan for bullpen management?

Are there more feet first slides like hook and popup in the game?

Can fly balls or pop ups be lost in the sun?

Are there more infielder error animations in gameplay?

Re: MLB The Show 25 Interview with Devs - Submit Q's for Gameplay and Franchise Mode

Are there any new gameplay tuning sliders in the game?

Has there been any sim logic tuning to reduce the number of complete games by starting pitchers to better reflect real life MLB (more than what can be accomplished through changing the stamina and manager hook sliders, anyway)?

Thanks!

How do managers affect the game? Is there any logic behind different managers or is it just a small ratings gain or reduction for good/bad skippers?

Will there be in 25, or will there be in the future, better cpu bullpen and lineup logic/management?

Will there ever be improvements and upgrades to rebranding?

All gameplay-related, focused on pitching:

Will there be 97mph+ sinkers in the game?

Will non-scanned players (e.g. user and CPU generated CAPs) share in the same pitch velocity ranges that scanned players have? Most notably all CAP changeups are capped at 84-86mph, while scanned pitchers can have power changeups in the 88-90mph range. Is this the year CAPs can have the same without having to resort to a splitter?

Is the running-fastball still in the game?

Will the sweeper make its debut in The Show this year?

Is there ever a chance of new menus/UI for things like the standings page, awards page, stats/league leaders? They have just become so stale. Changing something up like these could really give franchise a fresh new look and feel.

Did generated draft prospects get any love? A lot of times guys come to the show with mismatched equipment or with names that you wouldn’t ever really see in real life.

Re: MLB The Show 25 Interview with Devs - Submit Q's for Gameplay and Franchise Mode

Can we turn the HR camera off?
Is GOAT pitching much harder than legend ?
Will CPU batters adapt to user pitching tendencies?
Will the cpu batters use the new ambush hitting ?
Does franchise allow for non roster invitees?

Re: MLB The Show 25 Interview with Devs - Submit Q's for Gameplay and Franchise Mode

For custom teams, will we have more than 1 slot for uniforms for home and away?

For created stadiums, can the bullpen be placed off the field?

Re: MLB The Show 25 Interview with Devs - Submit Q's for Gameplay and Franchise Mode

Can we turn the HR camera off?
Can we turn off the blue circle around fielders?
Can we make the scorebug smaller and/or move it to another part of the screen?
Is the break in the animation of the catcher throwing the ball back to the pitcher gone when in broadcast mode?
Are replays that are shown at times a bit better to show the actual good play amongst the various players and not just a close up of the single player making the start of the good play?
Are unnecessary prompts gone when using auto fielding and or auto throwing...e.g. cutoff prompt when using auto throwing, switch player prompt when using auto fielding?
Can you disable text prompts e.g...like "no more attempts" when throwing back to check on a runner....this takes away realism?
Is there a "clean screen" mode/option that will disable any and every prompt, icon, helper, text prompt, xp notification, leaving just the scorebug...this would add to the realism
