We introduced gameplay innovations with ShowTech, like revamping the throw meter and adding hundreds of new animations. We also made the offseason more strategic and rewarding in Franchise Mode and proudly continued our commitment to storytelling and baseball history with another season of Storylines presents The Negro Leagues.
