i've had every version for the last 5ish years i think, but last year i didn't play much. haven't played a franchise since the days when i had more free time. it scares me now that i have more of a life.
last 1-2 years i've been a RTTS guy, playing mostly a closer and occasionally a position... i wanted to do franchise this year. might be too much for me tho.

ugh dammit, if they were gonna go to the trouble of adding all this awesome-sounding stuff then I'm REALLY frustrated they weren't able to port it to the Vita. baseball is maybe the perfect sport for mobile, especially on a platform with actual buttons so that you can field at least somewhat respectably; you can play for a couple of games, or a couple of innings, or a couple of at-bats, or even a couple of pitches if that's what you've got time for.
then again I would probably be the only one to buy it anyway so oh well. it's just extra-galling since now that's two awesome baseball games we'll never be able to enjoy natively on Vita (alongside the saintly and unfuckwithable Super Mega Baseball of course).

is this the only franchise that actually tries to improve game after game?
i'm watching the new march to october mode and it is amazing.the show 19 has the potential to be the best sports game in a while.

Oh yeah? I haven’t decided on whether or not I’m picking up this year’s game. I’ll have to look into the new mode. Is it a new spin on the season mode?Online games are sometimes thrilling, but often get derailed by weird lag/bugs, which is incredibly frustrating when you get fucked at the end of a really good, close game. I would also frequently run into other players who would somehow CRUSH everything I pitched, like every single time, and I couldn’t figure out if they were cheating or if there are people they are actually that good

karl, i'm going by this new video just uploaded a couple days ago:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Hf8dQWx8yA
it's a long one, but it seems pretty informative. it goes overmarch to october and gameplay.
i think online gameplay is a mix of skill and response time/ghosting,which is affected by internet speed and your TV. was your ping andresponse time ok? big, cheap TVs can be a problem.

i have never played the show and i want to download '19 immediately based on nothing more than these facts:
1) i really miss baseball2) super mega-baseball doesn't let me do pickoff moves
i have this niggly feeling that the show is going to be WAY more game than i want though
