Favorite new feature?

"Delayed substitutions for injured players, so, for example, you won’t have to replace your injured pitcher right away if your team is going to bat"

I've been waiting years for this feature / bug fix!

Markus Heinsohn · 01-26-2018, 07:12 AM

We're having a lot of these small fixes in the game. Stay tuned

Matt Uk · 01-26-2018, 07:15 AM

As usual lots of little one's that make such a difference, but I'm most looking forward to seeing how the game plays out live.

Oh and I really like the new interface. That leaderboard screen looks great.

zappa1 · 01-26-2018, 07:58 AM

The screen shots are very pleasing to the eye. Somehow it looks better to read. The background being a little darker probably helps the viewing. Also looks more colorful. Nice. And on the opening screen I see something to do with baseball cards?

BusterKing · 01-26-2018, 08:02 AM

Every year Markus somehow gets me excited about a new release.

And he does it again.

This time I like the 3D improvement features the most since I play everyone of my games.

I pre-ordered right away, like I usually do.

My assumption and I could be wrong is that this will be similar to the Ultimate steam modes in EA sport games on MLB The Shows, Diamond Dynasty. Could be wrong though. Those are micro transaction game modes, for a large part.

Thats what I assumed too. Could be a cool idea.

Yup! Sorry about that, I read the FAQ after I posted :-). I am a huge Ultimate Team fan, looking forward to it. Just hope if there are micro transactions that there is more transparency with odds. But I agree and think this is a big revenue stream to try.

Looking forward to more details on the scouting updates. That is a long overdue change. Love the new look of the interface.

wallewalls · 01-26-2018, 09:42 AM

The new scouting reports system looks like my favorite new feature, just need to see exactly what its all about first

BradG223 · 01-26-2018, 09:44 AM

I am very interested and excited to see how the ai is going to handle Shohei Otani, and by extension Babe Ruth.

This has raised my already high anticipation for v19 to a whole new level.

Like most I love the "big" new features added year to year and am very excited about 3d in game play improvements for v19, but....

my favorites are usually the small fixes and additions that pop up and just make me smile

thirdsaint · 01-26-2018, 10:30 AM

I'm most excited for "You can now cast a full ballot for all the end-of-season awards, including MVP, the top pitcher and hitter, and other awards. Improved decision-making by the AI can lead to some close races for awards." if it means we can vote for Manager of the Year awards now since the AI is horrible at it.

Now all we need is Switch Pitching!

MizzouRah · 01-26-2018, 10:37 AM

3D enhancements.. but that interface looks sexy! Easy on the eyes love the new fonts and the ability to change them/dark skin is sweet!

Caporegime · 01-26-2018, 10:44 AM

I'm a tourney playin' fool at heart. I'm looking forward to seeing what the new tournament modes offer.

Moose013 · 01-26-2018, 11:16 AM

Yeah, this new tournament feature where you can import any team from history sounds like it could be a lot of fun

I'm really excited about this too! I don't see a lot of benefits from the current scouting system other than once in a great while my scout finds an All Star and puts him in the International League.

The bidet is a nice touch but I doubt I'd use it.
