Gstank29 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 This game is MILES ahead of NHL 15. So much fun to play Spring is just around the corner and that means life is about to get a whole lot better. Baseball fans across the world relish the return of America’s great pastime along with the return of peanuts, Yasiel Puig, Matt Vasgersian and of course, MLB 15: The Show. As many of you are excited for the new MLB season to begin, the team here in San Diego is just as excited to show you everything we’ve been working on for MLB 15 The Show. Take a look at some of the features we’re particularly proud of below and be the first to read about how you can celebrate our 10th Anniversary of MLB The Show. Be sure to head over to The Show Nation to see the full feature list. Year-to-year saves (PS4, PS3, PS Vita) Users who purchased MLB 14 The Show will be able to continue their Franchise and Road to the Show progress in MLB 15 The Show with the Year-to-Year Saves feature.

Gameplay improvements (PS4 & PS3 only) Advanced AI logic results in outfielders taking more realistic routes to the ball Upgraded motion system allows for dynamic speed matching from run to catch to throw User controlled cut offs All new slide and tag system New speed paradigm for fielders and base runners Enhanced ball physics for pop ups, fly balls, and shots into the gap Dynamic pitch breaks: Allows for more realistic pitch recognition when batting Simplified Analog swing controls Dynamic Difficulty 2.0 New situational base covering intelligence allows for new animations to play when a player has time or is in a hurry to get to his base More than 70 new situational third out fielding animations New Input Type option for hitting We’ve separated swing input as a separate option Licensed equipment (PS4 & PS3 only) For the first time ever MLB The Show will include licensed equipment from some of the most recognisable brands in baseball.

Building a championship-caliber team is more fun and dynamic than ever before, with the new Performance-based Player Progression, as well as much improved Trade and Contract logic. Partner up with Brand Sponsors, giving your broadcast elements an official sponsor and earn some extra dough to spend on your team. Directional Hitting interface (PS4, PS3, PS Vita) Featured for the first time in MLB 15 The Show is the new Directional Hitting interface, which allows you to influence the direction of your hits in real-time while you swing. Using the L-Stick, you can attempt to influence fly balls, ground balls, pushed hits, pulled hits, or any of those in combination.

Collect an entire MLB team, and you’ll unlock an iconic alumni player from that team. There’s one from each team, and though you’ll have to find or unlock the card to slot them into your Dynasty squad, you can simply opt in to utilizing the whole pool of Legends in your Franchise mode. “Inside The Show” news suite (PS4, partial PS3) Franchise, RTTS, and Season modes all feature a new suite of features centered on providing news updates from around the league. Inside The Show is a new radio broadcast that will be heard at the beginning of each new day and will discuss recent scores, notable performances, team news, milestones, records, standings, and more. In addition, the new League Updates panel, found in season based modes, gives the user a quick snapshot of updates from around the League so you don’t have to dig through multiple screens to get the basics. As you can see, our goal this year was to build off the solid foundation of MLB 14 and expand on the game we love to make MLB 15 The Show the best baseball game ever made. Worldwide gameplay reveal on Twitch We’re also excited to announce the worldwide gameplay reveal of MLB 15 The Show on 5th February at 10.00pm GMT on Twitch. Tune in to the livestream via the San Diego Studio Twitch channel to get an exclusive look at MLB 15 and hear from our team on the features we’re most excited about for MLB 15.

Upshall18 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Haven't played one of these since 2008. Picked up the PS3 version for $40 and started a RTTS. Loving it so far. Played around in franchise mode a little last night dinking around with rosters and stuff. Anyone know if it's possible to set lineups for your minor league teams? Or can you just call up/send down players the AAA/AA/A etc and then the computer just runs those teams? I've got a pitcher I've sent down to AA and want him to be their Ace until I call him up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to us the left analog stick to switch between AA/AAA/MLB though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 This game is so boss. Horrible soundtrack and player editor though but that's minor. Love these player cards you get. I'll never use that mode so i just sell them but only the gold cards net you some serious coin. With that coin i bought some diamond ritual, and shoes that bumped my rtts pitcher to 85. Now im in June2016 and pitched 2games in the majors. 2sfb, slider, and knucklecurve are my pitches. I like that its easier to strike out batters rather then them popping up everytime thier down 2strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lx Birdie xl Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 This series was pretty much the only game I played on my ps3 when I had one.. Even more than NHL and I am a hockey guy. Amazing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Got around to playing a game tonight. Was a lot of fun. You can really tell how much love went into this game. Sure wish EA did the same for the NHL games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g_bassi13 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Pretty much was the tiebreaker for me when it came to choosing which console. For me it's about whether to get a console or not, as I don't entirely need one with my games on PC. Xbone eliminated itself for non game related reasons a long time ago, but within the context of exclusive games the PS4 hasn't given me a good reason to pick one up save for the fact that they're still making this great series. It's pretty funny that the only MLB game left on the market happens to be an exclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
