Have to wait until daytime to pick up my pre-order and start ripping packs, someone rip some packs in my stead
Last year I was able to get an all gold/diamond team pretty quickly through conquest and playing the market, I wonder what cheese methods there will be this year
Pulling Stanton, Arenado and Altuve didn't hurt either....
Is there a Gaf league this year? Maybe they figured shit out

I haven't purchased The Show in years. I think this might be the year.
Amazing in it's simplicity.

Holy shit, importing music takes forever.
It's been 25 minutes, and 550 songs have been processed. Fml.

Kershaw complete game shut out franchise opening day dodgers vs padres. The crowd really brings the energy.

So guys I replaced the intro's audio with CNN's Decade intro theme (it works really well.) But because I couldn't loop it properly and it's only a 55 second track, I had to abridge the opening.
I kept Vin Scully's voice over, but naturally some of the other things had to go in order for the music to match the visuals. Ultimately, if anyone else can find a better way to put that theme to overlay the intro completely with a better loop, go for it.
Anyway, here's my fan-edit of the intro. (I'm using crappy editing software too so I did what I could).

I haven't watched the intro yet since I don't want to spoil it, but for those that have seen it, does it top the MLB 12 The Show intro? I think this is the greatest intro I've ever seen:

As a Rays fan that'll always be my favorite. Was such a great night, constantly flipping between the Rays and the Red Sox games.
Super clean and smooth.

Decided to check out some footage on YouTube. Wow at these visuals. The crowd is really impressive too.

I agree. Everything is super clean and smooth until you get a cut-scene. Still very playable. Loved it!
In some images I posted earlier (Sorry for the Facebook quality in those) I zoomed in on some plaques at classic Yankee Stadium in Monument Park and you could read all the text on them. They had all the plaques. In the retired numbers section, they had all the numbers, but the plaques below them had repeated non-legible textures over them. It's so minor that it's nothing at all. The attention to detail is insane!
Omg I love this intro. Obviously made by people who love the sport, just like the game.
I've bought every The Show game since 2012 or so, I was thinking about passing on this one because I've got games coming out of my ears, but I gotta get this damn game again just to support these guys.

Help. I pre loaded the MVP Edition. The pre order bonus wasn't available for pre load so it just stayed in the store page after I bought it. Where can I find that download now?

Looks like I can't buy until I'm at home. Still can't buy games from the PSN store on my phone. Get with the times Sony.

umm, sure you can. I 've done it a bunch of times through the Playstation app.
That intro is amazing Omg.

Tried. Numerous times. Checked my address, etc and still no go

Weird, I just log into the app, click on the PS store Icon located on the top left, enter my login info, enter the verification code (2-step ver) and can buy anything from there. You can set it to download directly to your PS4 from there as well...
Played 2 games last night. Shame the servers weren't online when I played but just from 2 games I can see how hit variety has improved a lot. After playing so much The Show 16 some hits I was expecting to end up as easy pop ups but to my complete surprise the ball takes a realistic angle instead of just liners and end up as a single.
The ending of the intro almost made me feel like this was the end of The Show franchise.

Is retro mode only for one off games or can you play a whole season in it?

Cell. Wonder the 20% code is the issue
That's some good shit right there

nah, I used a code with the holiday sale. My guess is that you need to be on a Wi-Fi signal?
If nothing else, delete the app and re-download it onto your phone.

Looking forward to getting off work and getting home to play this. Been a couple years since I last played a Show game. Can't wait to strike out 200 times with Mark Trumbo.
I'm SiKotikJ30 on PSN for anyone who might want to play some games!

What was the pre-order bonus? I ordered from them, and didn't recall what that was.

They were supposed to go up at Midnight (which they supposedly did) and then The Show Twitter account tweeted at like 6 a.m. that all of the servers were live and ready to go. They crashed sometime between then and like 10:30 eastern.

I honestly can't remember what they were like for 15, but last year it took about 2 weeks until they got their servers stabilized. Once they did they were really solid the rest of the year, but it was quite messy at the beginning.
