This would allow them a reason to develop that sunglasses feature that was suggested earlier in the year. If your player wears sunglasses, he'll be able to track the ball better during day games. If your player wears the flip down shades, you'll be able to click a button and you'll get the boost as well as reduced glare.

While I know it's rare, I WOULD LOVE to be able to play any position in RTTS as a Lefty!!!

It's "I wish my friends were on PS3 so I could be on that instead of XBOX" time of year again. I've been to U.S. Cellular Field 5 times and it looks almost exactly like that photo, right down to the scoreboard font of "Welcome to US Cellular Field"

Wow this is a great idea as well. Let's hope these both catch on cause this alone can be a game changer (at least for me).

YES!! Just what I was hoping for!

The one thing I'm hoping for in RTTS is an improvement of the Catching position in RTTS. I cannot spend 1 and 1/2 hours calling every pitch or every game, especially in the minor leagues. I wish They made it possible to just play the pitch the catcher is involved in. Including Potential Base Stealers, Bunts, Pop-Ups and maybe plays at the plate. But also leave us the option to call every pitch so that if it's a rainy Saturday, I can still do that.

Show Live and the revamps of Franchise and RTTS sound great, but I'm rather interested in the new score bug art in that screen shot, as well as the "+191" in the opposite corner... I didn't play Diamond Dynasty or online last year, so I don't know if that has anything to do with that...?

Excited to hear more in depth about the franchise improvements. The items mentioned were things I was hoping for that would be fix/adjusted/revamped, so that's great news.

# 33 jdmsi7 @ 12/21/12 01:43 PM

Show live sounds like a possible Nba 2k nba today type mode. I hope so!

Yeah, I knew it was Spongebob, I just don't know much about it.

And you're right about kids shows. Heck, I've even went back and watched some of the seemingly innocuous stuff I watched as a kid and was amazed at how messed up they are.

Any word on if its possible to carry over RTTS players from previous games? The first one I played was 07 and I currently have 12. It would give me much more incentive to buy the newer games as they come out if I could otherwise why spend all that time developing a guy just to have to start over?

I read in one of the threads, don't remember which one, but it was said this is something that they have tried very hard to do but just isn't possible at this time.

Maybe it will be different once the ps4 hits.

In retrospect, this post from thaSLAB makes so much more sense now.
