No. You'd have to start a franchise in 15, and then use year-to-year saves to continue in 16. The rosters are no good outside of that particular franchise (save).

Or....start one in '15 with the fictional.....transfer it over to '16...making sure to start the franchise with CPU ROSTER CONTROL set to ON.....then once in '16 use the feature to export the players from the franchise and import them into a roster.

HOPEFULLY....CPU ROSTER CONTROL is still a feature so that we can utilize this.

A free roam camera that you could place in the stands would be fun to watch for sim games.

The question might have been answered already so I apologize but how can you they'll the difference between if a player is face scanned compared to generic ?

Short rain delay cutscenes (tarps getting rolled out, etc.) C. Games should be able to get delayed/rained out in season mode. If this happens, the game would be rescheduled. Or played later that day, which would be a perfect way to show off the new time of day lighting and shadowing they added to this game. All of these things happen in the real MLB and need to be in a simulation game.

I couldn't agree more! This game is great, but it needs so much more to become the ultimate sports game. Dynamic weather and rain delays/rain outs are all part of baseball realism. Sorry, but more modes do not do it for me! Dynamic weather should have been in by now, considering how many years this game has been around. I like ultimate realism! It's a matter of priorities.

Go look at Jorge Soler from MLB 15.

With all of this work done with PBR on surfaces, it make me hope they work on the players appearance a lot next year, because that is an area they really need to work on (skin textures and body models especially). It is great right now, but it can be better

After all the footage... I only have one thing to say... Give the people the free-lance/sky cam.

I'd like a cut scene of a tarp rolling out, even make a persons hat flying off and they run and get it. But I think it would bring more strategy. If it's raining with the dynamic weather, you can start with a light drizzle. Then each inning it gets worse. Finally have an ump call it. Cue the cut scene. Then after the scene you would go to the pitcher screen. Their stamina would be lower. Then you have a choice to bring them back into the game or have a new pitcher come in, which would have to make you think about the next game.

Even having a game cancelled. You get up to the date of a double header. You have to rest players, then split some of your squad for both games.
So, something which people don't understand why we would like a feature like this, would bring more to the game.

Plus as you're playing and the rain is getting worse, you will think is this going to get delayed or will we finish this game all the way through with no delay.

I agree! Rotating future schedules needs to be in the game too!

Such as the picture frames in a suite booth, or the nice reflections on lamps in certain areas. As this all looks really cool...when do we ever see this besides when they do fly cam streams like this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Because, someone will go looking for things like this and point out how wrong it is..............just ask merchant1874. In MLB 14 he did exactly what you just said and went into Safco Field and took a picture of the rafters at the top of the stadium and pointed out how it looked like a carboard cutout rather than a solid object. You might think it's pointless, but there will always be someone out there that takes it to the extreme.

The stadium artists only work on stadiums, so it would only be taking dev time away from other stadium things. Since the stadiums in this game are damn near perfect, I don't think we're missing out on much by them working on the tiny details.

Dang, is spring training really so unpopular that pictures in distant windows take precedent over having more than 2 spring training stadiums? I'm not claiming that's an equivalent workload (that would be ridiculous) or that the devs SHOULD make more, it's just that as a spring training lover it hurts me a little to see that so many skip over it enough to justify pictures in windows more.

But the devs provide what the consumers want, and there is no denying that MLB stadiums should get the most attention.

I hear you on the spring training stadiums. But it wasn't those tiny details that kept them out, it was the 6 classic stadiums they added.
