What exactly will MLBPA change? Sorry if this was already answered!

SirMichaelJordan · 02-21-2016, 03:12 PM

I'll probably check out historical play this year. I didn't realize it will now include full minors.

Well for one, actual player face gens which age and show "mood"

mindflux · 02-22-2016, 02:13 AM

Probably the speed. Going from 15 to 16 the speed was much slower, especially on trades. Glad to see this coming.

The AI changes will be nice too and historical minor leagues, but I dont know how much I'll use it.

The biggest deal is that high quality facegens are now included with the game for MLBPA players.

It's pretty cool that they can now be included with the official game.They contribute to a much better looking OOTP than has ever been available before.

That's just the modern players right? The historical players are still only available through the Mods?

affiliated historical minor leagues. I asked about this last year, knowing it was impossible. And then it wasn't.

thirdsaint · 02-22-2016, 02:47 PM

For me it was the improved GM features and AI, as that was the last part of the 'front office' tree that needed work. I also love the improved player career arcs and recaps for games as that'll add to the experience. I often thought up my own recaps in my head, ha.

What exactly is "In-game player symbols". I can't find anything via search.

That's for the 3D game engine where you see little player icons moving to field the ball and run around the bases, etc.

I mostly play Fictional...

But Historical exhibition sounds awesome

Never, Never tell me it's impossible...that word's not in my vocabulary.

Since I primarily play historical, I have to go with the historical minors. That's the biggest feature that has me considering a pre-order.

Sweed · 02-24-2016, 03:27 PM

Hard to pick the feature I look most forward to, so many good ones to pick from. I went with individual GMs. I love that each team will be run differently and as GMs are fired, replaced, or move to another team it will be cool to see how it impacts the teams.

Can you find that one GM that becomes a go to guy to trade with? Will there be a GM that you know you don't even have to waste time trying?

You may find a GM you can go to because he is noted for trading prospects. One you know you can get a vet from for the pennant run for a reasonable price. It really is endless and adds to the real world feel of OOTP not to mention the challenge of building a winning team.

hfield007 · 02-24-2016, 05:08 PM

individualized GMs alone is worth buying this imo. far and away the most exciting thing so far for me.

Also, loving the improvement on 3D and yearning for the day when it gets to where they want it and I can sit back and watch my world series every year.
