“Every season — offseason, preseason, meaning spring training, and in-season — they have a certain amount of work volume,” Rangers strength and conditioning coach Jose Vazquez told Sporting News in a phone interview. “In the offseason, the work volume is very heavy. There’s a lot of running, a lot of lifting, a lot of stuff, so to speak.

From the game’s first moments, it is clear that the series’ history has not been forgotten. The New Order is technically a sequel to both 2002’s Return to Castle Wolfenstein and 2009’s Wolfenstein, developed by Gray Matter and Raven Software, respectively. But where those games attempted to craft an alternate history of World War II - in which the German Army was experimenting with supernatural machinery and technology - MachineGames casts off much of the grandiose mythology....
