The absolute reason im buying this game is b/c I can continue my RTTS from my current save, if I could not, I think I would have skipped it this year.

I been robocopping it since 2011 but I'm tired of getting 3-4 years into my career then have to start over from scratch ...if you mess around and sim a whole year and you will drop from a 99 overall rating to around a 85 or something.


The same has got to be implemented in 2k, nobody got time to start over every year.

I hope this is the stream where they address the improvements to online play. Hope they add some bigger penalties for people who quit too.

Here's what the Community Manager said about online improvements for Show 15:
 

Simply put: a lot of work has gone into improving online play in MLB 15 The Show. The overall experience will be more stable, more consistent, and feel better. As we stated last year when we revealed that we were tearing down and rebuilding the foundation of our netcode, it’s a process. We’re a full year into a major paradigm shift in terms of how we handle synchronization, how we’re hiding latency for the player, etc. We’re going to talk a lot more about what’s gone into it and what fans can expect, but for now we’d just like to assure you that online remains a focus and pillar for us, it’ll be better this year, and it’ll continue to get better.

Livestream is on now.

This will be a first day cop.

I can continue my career as a pitcher for the Red Sox.

Gotta love the 98 mph heat with a knuckleball to boot.

[h2]MLB 15 The Show "Character Artists" Stream Recap[/h2]

  04:37 PM - March 3, 2015 by Steve_OS

Monday's MLB 15: The Show stream was the longest so far, totaling almost three hours, but despite its length, there wasn't a whole lot of new information shared. Here are all of the details that were discussed:

Uniforms, Head Scans, & Equipment

• Each MLB team has 10 different jersey slots. There are around 430 uniforms in the game.
• The Mariners' and Giants' new alternate jerseys will not be in MLB 15: The Show, because there wasn't an available slot to put them into. The developers would have had to replace those teams' throwback uniforms, and Sony San Diego's telemetry shows that gamers are selecting throwbacks too often to justify getting rid of them.
• In Franchise mode, teams will wear their alternate/throwback uniforms according to their real-life tendencies and schedules.
• Uniform and face scans files have become so large in size that Sony San Diego is unable to patch new ones into the game after it releases. What you get on the MLB 15 disc is what you'll have all year.
• There are around 1,500 unique player heads in the game. One head can take a couple of hours to get right, depending on how complicated the hair is.
• The developers travel to spring training sites to capture minor leaguers' faces before they are called up to the majors.
• The cameras that were used to scan player faces were also used to scan most of the equipment in MLB 15, though some items had to be modeled from scratch.

Miscellaneous Notes

• The degree of horizontal/vertical pitch break will be unique for every MLB pitcher and is based on real data from last season.
• If you decide to use an injured player, his attribute ratings will be negatively impacted, depending on the location and severity of the injury.
• Every MLB stadium has been improved for MLB 15. There will be a stream later in the month showing off all the ballparks.
• Historic stadiums are not in the PlayStation 4 version of MLB 15. Sony San Diego believes their return on investment would not be significant enough to make it worth their effort.
• You can now warm-up pitchers and access your bullpen by pressing up on the d-pad.
• Fielding "quick shifts" can now be made by pressing down on the d-pad.
• Road to the Show won't have any new fielding cameras, but the baserunning camera will be less jittery.
• The MLB's new "pace of play" rules were announced too late to include in MLB 15: The Show.
• There are about 70 new "third out" animations.
• Pitchers, batters, and fielders will each have their own unique sets of emotion animations after big plays.
• Athletes who don't have signature home run celebrations will use a random one from a pool of generic animations.
• Fans can catch any balls that end up in the stands.
• George Springer's pre-game dance is in the game.
• Jason Heyward's batting stance has been updated.

Biggie you don't really need a lot of time to play this since there is an option for quick play meaning each game will on be like 3 minutes ...if you slow down on Destiny, then im sure you can find a lil time for The Show ...and when  you finish school and you have all the time do whatever bro.

Not that simple. As soon as I finish grad school in August im studying for my CPA. That will take me at least until April of next year. I start a new job in September too so I'll need to acquaint myself to that as well.
