Everything about this game sounds amazing. I'm all in for a Day 1 purchase. Being able to transfer saves to the next years game is something that I hope every sports series catch on to.

The level of detail on PS4 is amazing. Also its crazy how blurry the PS3 version looks in comparison. I guess its impossible to notice until you see something in comparison.

The player models and lighting look amazing. Also I really like the look of the UI in this years game.

So how much of a commitment is a goon league? I work 4 or 5 nights a week and would love to join a league. Just wondering how often games have to be played?

Also any news about reloading?

I can't imagine it would be more then a game or two a week.


We'll see. I'm fully expecting a lot of people to be all "Yeah I wan't in!!!" and then a week in half of them will stop playing their games.

Well if its only that much a week I'm in for sure. I'm going to strikeout so much and its going to be awesome.

Instead of divisions I'm leaning towards a round robin where everybody plays everybody else once or twice. It'll be quicker per season and everybody will get to play everybody else instead of having 2-3 games against the same 4-5 people.


We use real teams, if their are a lot of people then somebody will get stuck with the Astros, them the breaks. Thing about The Show unlike say Madden is that player skill *really* impacts the game more then the team ratings. If you can hit, you'll hit with the Rangers or with the Diamondbacks. If you know how to pitch then even with a 5th starter you can toss a good game. Of course its easier if you have all the good players, but even if all your dudes are rated in the 50's if your better then the guy with the Red Sox or whatever you'll still have a good chance to win the game.

How are teams actually chosen because I realize that there will be teams that more then one person wants?

One of the Devs (L1vingston) is streaming on Twitch right now. Kind of a combo play/Q&A stream going on that might be worth watching if you are bored.

He's going over what Diamond Dynasty is right now if anyone wants to see the game mode.

Apparently instead of selling all your cards you can choose to recycle some of them together and it generates a new card.

I downloaded the game at 4 PM, left for work and comeback 12 hours later and it only installed 66%. Thats seems like a bit too long.

Diamond dynasty is a ridiculously fun game mode. The show is probably just going to be a 3rd baseman and fantasy collectable card game for me and that's just fine.

Are you having problems with the menus in Diamond Dynasty? Mine take a good 30 seconds to load making it tedious to do anything.

You could also turn down the pitch speed a tad just to get use to seeing the ball coming in. I also usually try and track the ball with the left analog stick even when I don't swing just to get use to it.

So with Diamond Dynasty is it better to train up your players or to just buy packs to get better players? It seems like its better to get Dynasty players and work in a few MLB players at times.

So in my franchise just about everyone of my solid hits seems to either be a line drive right at an outfielder or a deep fly ball, which option do I need to mess with to make increase the amount of hits I get from good swings?
