Steve9347 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) 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.

WBWSF Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingandalongonetoleft Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 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?

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 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.

My bday is also in mid-March and mostly get cash for my bday (besides from my gf) so that also helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
