Leading up to release, MLB The Show 16 developers San Diego Studio are providing a series of vlogs to talk about some of the features in the upcoming version of the game. Today they’ve released the first vlog, which details Road to the Show and ShowTime.
In this week’s video, Matt Schaeffer goes over some of the new features being added to Road to the Show. There’s the Bowman Scout Day, which he describes as an opportunity to display your individual skills for the scouts. Your performance on scout day and the showcase games afterwards will generate an MLB scouting report. These reports are now based on the 20-80 scouting scale, which is used by real MLB teams during the draft.
Road to the Show has also been streamlined, making it possible to play a full series of games without ever having to go back to the main menu, with access to the training screens in between. New to training is the addition of unlockable perks, which are acquired by training player attributes.
There are two types of perks, consumable and passive. Consumable perks can be used once per game, but you have control over when they’re used. Passive perks do not have to be activated. Your choice of perks will also affect the amount of showtime added to your meter at the beginning of each game. The more powerful your perks, the less showtime you’ll regenerate.
We’ve already seen showtime, but the video also offers a bit more detail on the feature. There isn’t much new there, although some new footage is always great. As part of the promotion for MLB The Show 16, San Diego Studio will be streaming the game on twitch as well as releasing additional videos every week. Based on the tentative schedule shown in the video, we’ll be learning a lot more about MLB The Show 16 up until March 15.
MLB The Show 16 will be available exclusively for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 starting on March 29. Are you excited for the game? Let us know in the comments.
