In the last couple years, we’ve added something we call your Universal Profile, which tracks your playstyle tendencies and passively rewards you with XP and Stubs while you play. This year, in addition to XP and Stubs, you’ll earn new Items usable throughout different game modes.

Road to the Show is a mode focused on one player’s path to the majors and beyond. As you play, you’ll find different qualities of licensed equipment that can enhance your player’s attributes. Once you find them, you’ll equip them to your player for an instant boost to his skill. Your player has slots for a Bat, Batting Gloves, Fielding Glove, Cleats, and echoing the traditions of our sport, a Ritual item.

Franchise is a mode focused on managing baseball organizations on every level. Periodically, you’ll find Brand Sponsorship contracts. Once you have the contract in hand, you can choose at any time to partner your Franchise team with the Brand. Doing so will add some Brand flavor to your interface during game broadcasts. The Sponsorship also earns your team budget incentives based on how you performance in a certain statistic.

Diamond Dynasty is a fantasy baseball card mode where you build a custom team and assemble players you find into a squad. Diamond Dynasty is DRASTICALLY changed this year so keep an eye out for a more focused blog about it. MLB Player Cards and Stadiums Cards will be rewarded as you play. While playing ANY mode, you’ll be passively building a fantasy squad of MLB pros.

Collect an entire MLB team or get REALLY lucky with a pack, and you’ll unlock an iconic alumni player from one of 30 MLB teams.

We’re very excited this year that we’ve partnered with nine iconic baseball brands to bring items from their product catalog directly into the game. We are lucky to have such amazing partners. Check out this list of awesomeness:
  • Franklin®
  • Louisville Slugger®
  • Nike®

Yeah.

The first thing I noticed were the words "golden thong".

I got a kick out of that - something that's a common reference to actually wearing a female thong under your baseball pants - and how that was visually represented by a golden thong slipper.

When I rewound the video to pause the screen to see what else was listed/shown, I noticed the others and couldn't believe what I was seeing with "sleeping companion" and "minute man".

The references should be obvious, but appear innocent because they're represented by items that cover the sexual innuendos.

They may not have asked his relatives/kids or they were asking for too much money.

He said that he knows he's in the minority so give some benefit of the doubt. I understand how exhausting it is and feel inundated by ads.


My concerns are a bit more big picture, though. It probably took a lot for them to get these sponsorships in and that glimpse of the video does make them look like ads. "lightweight with superior construction" et al. You know that there were executives and lawyers involved with demands like "our materials must be depicted as always clean, never even a smudge of dirt, and we need to see substantive boosts to attributes", stuff like that. I just hope that there is no silly lawsuits because Nike signed Player X to always wear Nike gear but he is wearing non-Nike brand gloves in the game so we are suing.


I didn't find anything wrong with the generic stuff, I concentrate on pitches and not on gloves, shoes, etc, so I am already a bit bias. However, I must admit that they listened to the demands of the consumer.

Totally agreed. Will Clark never put up the numbers and will never reach the stature of Mays, Bonds, McCovey, etc. but he was from my era of Giants, when I first became a really big fan. And he was far and away my favorite player at that time. Glad to see him make it.

Red Sox- Ortiz/Manny/Pedro?

This is coming from a Red Sox fan. And now nothing ever came of it, but google Angel Presnal, he was one of Pedro's trainers so the suspicion could be there. Manny has been suspended 2 times for PEDs. And Ortiz failed a PED test in 2003.

We'll never see it though. Even if SCEA got an agreement from each player, the MLB would shut that **** down, which is unfortunate.

Just don't call it the PED pack! Slip it past 'em haha.

Buy the "New Legendary Power Pack. Enhanced edition." Or go the Goldeneye route and call it "Big Head Mode."

I like "Little Ball Pack" better

I was jut wondering, do you think they made custom batting/pitching motions for these players? If so I hope that they didn't count them in the fact sheet numbers of new stances/motions. I'd rather have those 30 stances for current players.

Some of these guys already have stances in the game, I think. The list of all the stances can be found here.

Guys that already have one are
Kaline
Killebrew
Brett
Ryan
Brooks Robinson
Eckersley
Banks
Bagwell
Carew
Seaver
Niekro
Bench
Berra
Schmidt
Yount
Kiner
Dawson
Smith
Lofton
Edgar Martinez
Steve Finley
and
Floyd
So that's 22 out of the 30 legends that already have stances/motions in the game.
