You could try but it won't work the black swipes and the text are both the same color of black.

IMO, I would rate that chance you described as just slightly higher than ever seeing mp3 storage on the ps4 so we can properly use Sounds of the Show. (Thanks Sony )

I'm glad to see that the Devs can have some fun with this whole thing though!

What I don't like are the dodgy things like bringing back stadiums. As if they are new additions. No, they were already in The Show games before. These aren't new additions. They were simply taken away and are now being brought back again. Also, the graphics in 15. Something suspicious to me there. I don't consider the graphics an improvement over 14 because they aren't as immersive. In 14 there was a breadth to things. I felt like I was actually at a ballpark playing sometimes. With 15 it's like there is an invisible wall or something. The graphics are more flat on the screen. If that makes sense. The graphics are technically prettier but not better. It makes me think they took something away and added something else just to make it SEEM better. But really, it's only different not better. They just change things up and pretend it's improving things. There is quite a bit of that goes on. Not that everything is that way. I'm very happy that they at least fixed online in 15. Other than that though, there really wasn't enough that justified my purchasing a new The Show game.

Not true. Every stadium was rebuilt from the ground up for current-gen, so it's not as simple as removing a stadium then adding it back later.

Totally understood, but this was used against EA Tiburon all of the time when they had things removed from current-gen titles and brought them back in from previous-gen and slapped them on as "new."

All I'm saying is we can have one, not both. And "rebuilt from the ground up" definitely means they had to do the legwork to make it again, but I don't know what steps they took to make them different as well. Many stadium inaccuracies existed on both consoles (not that there are many, but the ones that there were are in both), and I've always had an issue with the textures... but now that PBR is coming into play this year, that might actually resolve that problem I've had.

They are still going to look pretty much the same and be pretty much the same. They'll just be current gen versions that's all.

It's a shame that Steve said, after 13 years, he's closing OS on Monday Night

Haha. Because a lot of people here are down on The Show? Well, I'm not trying to sound down on it. It's clearly the best baseball video game ever made and I do love it. It's just making me think it's time to start skipping a cycle. Maybe even two cycles, unfortunately.
