MLB 2K15

MLB 2K15 is a baseball simulation game scheduled for release in late 2014 or early 2015. 2K15 is a continuation of the MLB 2K series, coming back after MLB 2K14 was canceled. The game has several improvements from the latest in the line, 2K13, and is much more pleasing asthetically, with emphasis on new gameplay.

Cover Athelete
Dustin Pedroia was chosen as the cover athelete, as his team, the Boston Red Sox, won the most recent World Series.

"It's really an honor to get to be on the cover of 2K15. Me being on a cover where greats like Jeter have been; man, it's just a great feeling. Hopefully me and my friends'll get to play, and I can kick their butts with my awesome Sox! Thanks again, and what an honor!"

- Dustin Pedroia, after being announced as cover athelete.

Exhibition
Exhibition, or Quick Game, makes a return in 2K15. Not much is changed about the actual gamemode, other than historic teams are playable, and the actual in-game gameplay has been completely renovated.

Franchise
Franchise is another returning gamemode. Improvements in Franchise include a dynamic league, with relocation and renaming possible. More coach-player interaction sequences have been added, as well as possible suspensions, PED use, and fights and mound charging. Umpires also make mistakes, which can be reviewed by a challenge option. Foreign scouting and trades are also an available feature.

MyPlayer
MyPlayer is back in 2K15, and it is totally redone from 2K13. The player gets called up faster, as well as being fully voiced. The player also is frequently visited by the coach, can be dressed using VC, and has more options, such as trades, roles, lineup, etc. Rivalries can also be established, as well as friendships and mentorships. Players can also decide on how their player spends his time, which can affect the player in-game in some instances. Chemistry with both fellow players and with coaches is also implemented in the game.

Historic Season
Historic Season is a new mode where the player is able to control any team during any season throughout the entire history of the MLB. Realistic rosters and player ratings have been implemented to as early as the late 1800s, using stats from individual seasons. Gameplay is also different during eras. For example: players in Deadball Era seasons won't hit with as much power as players from the Steroid Era.

Playoffs
Playoffs are a standard recreation of the MLB Playoffs, with user customizable standings, for those who would like to play the World series without going through an entire season first.

Rise of a Legend
Rise of a Legend, or ROAL, is a new mode where the player is able to to pick a present or historic player and play their entire career until their retirement.

World Tour
World Tour is a new and ambitious mode that allow the player to take a team of any MLB players they desire and compete with teams of the best players from around the world including: Cuba, Japan, Mexico, Taiwan, etc.

Sandlot
Sandlot is a new mode where the player selects a team of MLB players and plays a more lax version of America's Passtime on an all-American dusty Sandlot where the rules are sometimes bent or forgotten in a simpler game type.

Create a Player
Create a Player has more options, including personality, and much better player models.

Create a Team
Create a Team is in 2K15. Improvements include more logos, more names, better customizable jerseys, including alternates and classics, and use in franchise mode.
