March 8, 201610 yr So I updated MLB The Show 15 to newest rosters recently, and have been playing a few games. I realize, that while this team isn't fully loaded, it's way better than last year. Playing with that roster last year, there were multiple non-MLB level players in the everyday starting lineup. With the Jackson addition, we have extras on the bench. We also have a hell of a pitching staff. Anyway, I think the Sox are going to contend this year. Edited March 8, 201610 yr by Steve9347
March 8, 201610 yr You're wrong. The White Sox will not be good in 2016. The White Sox will be GREAT in 2016. Playoff Baseball is coming to the Cell in 2016.
March 8, 201610 yr Also, the Sox are 3-1 so far in Cactus League play (0.5 GB in the standings), and are winning 10-5 so far today.

Interesting, but does not qualify as "empirical" evidence.

Love the show.

March 9, 201610 yr Interesting that the "empirical evidence" is based on Garcia starting and Austin Jackson on the bench? Are they already adjusting for Garcia's spring training bomb today? Btw, does Davidson hitting one all the way over the hitting backdrop count for anything?

March 9, 201610 yr Author QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Mar 8, 2016 -> 11:30 PM) Steve doesn't just give out his PSN willy nilly I think the days of playing WITH randos on the internet are long gone. I'll play battlefront with friends, but the Show is a s*** experience online, and I'd rather compile the stats over the course of a season than battle it out in the glitchy The Show online experience.

Thanks Mr Obvious, you're a lifesaver. haha Also of note from these games - the first one Austin Jackson started in CF he robbed a homerun for me. I've been playing The Show since 09 and have NEVER robbed a homerun. Clearly we will win all the games this year.

This is the only thing I hate about The Show. Online is a damn nightmare. Hitting and pitching are OK, but when it comes to fielding and base running, it's a complete s*** show.
March 9, 201610 yr 2016 comes out in a few weeks. But, I doubt I can nag/bribe my wife for her to "allow" me to buy ANOTHER game. Last week it was Primal... then yesterday, I dropped $90 on the gold edition of The Division. Maybe I'll wait it out for a used copy.

I always sell the old "The Show" games in Jamiary/February on ebay and get around $20 for them. It feels like a discount for the next one. My bday is also in mid-March and mostly get cash for my bday (besides from my gf) so that also helps.

March 9, 201610 yr The new USCF and White Sox-specific celebrations/rituals should make 16 more interesting.
March 9, 201610 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 04:54 PM) The new USCF and White Sox-specific celebrations/rituals should make 16 more interesting. I was shocked to see the new CF scoreboard was in on of the videos. Stadium changes usually don't make it in until the following season.
