Now in RTTS that might be fun, but I could see it getting repetitive in Franchise mode.

I don't know. They could have asked him to be more involved but him or his agent don't think it's worth it.

Can SDS just pick cover athletes or use them in menus/trailers in a focused way without consulting the player's representation?

Not a fan of it either, but SCEA is usually good about options where we choose our experience.

Agreed, if franchise mode again is neglected i may just skip it this year.

Pretty gutted there isn't new player models or at least realistic looking uniforms.
The bullet time stuff looks like a complete gimmick.

Closed roofs at long last but that trailer didn't really impress me.

Will still buy day one

I don't usually post in the video sections anymore BUT you know you've hit the big time Steve when your twitter post about Donaldson was used on Sportsnet's article.

OS is truly a player in the video game news world

You cannot even judge the gameplay from it. It did hint at about 7-8 new features/modes, however.

Dude. Gut punch about player models and jerseys and skin tones not being updated. Game looks beautiful but the game is stale without these changes. Nba 2k16 is a whole new game with individual player models and fixed jerseys.

Years of Ramone saying classic stadiums weren't worth the effort...

...then seeing the Polo Grounds in that trailer...

...it's enough to bring a tear to my hardened eye.

Something to note in the blog: RTTS can now allow you to play a whole series without returning to the menu. I remember mentioning this last year as something that would seemingly be easy to implement. Glad it's in!

ShowTime will be the first thing I disable in the options menu, but I can see it being a great feature for people who love video games more than they do baseball (and let's face it, there are plenty out there who do).

Yep, that's exactly who this feature appears to be geared towards. Not us.

And I can hear the "why are they wasting resources on THIS"? complaints starting already.

For sure the complaints well be plenty, I'll admit my first reaction to it was "no, who wanted this other than brandon phillips "(I believe it was him who suggested it back in mlb14) but it might some perks to it to be useful, it sounds like at least with the batting they are trying to give you more control on where you put the ball in play.

Edit: also I'll will add this was also most likely put in play due to many complaining about the game feeling stale and relatively remaining unchanged for many years.

"You can also expect a more streamlined Road To the Show experience, as a new paradigm for base-running and fielding opportunities will maximize the time you spend in situations that matter. "

More Streamlining, and more Arcadey gameplay.

This is a trend now.
