Player Faces Have Greatly Improved in MLB The Show 17 (Polygon)
 

Polygon has posted a new MLB The Show 17 article on the improved player faces and lighting we will see in the game this year. These improvements will also be seen in Road to the Show, as the team has bumped up from 17 heads to over 40.

Quote:

It's all about the lighting on the faces, how light affects the skin tone and how light affects the skin tone when it's being shadowed by a ballcap," Russell said. "The lighting we had last year wasn't perfect, and we were basically dimming everything and giving you too much energy from nowhere, for a guy with a ballcap on. Now in real life, if you have a ballcap on, that shadow is being created, but you still have light energy coming from the ground.


They have also included a couple of screenshots showing off the faces of Clayton Kershaw and José Altuve from MLB The Show 16 vs. MLB The Show 17.

"Note, the image on the right is not some PlayStation 4 Pro-only version"

So glad to get confirmation that the images we are seeing are not PS4 pro only images

Kershaw looks awesome. And the gold necklace has a more realistic look to it compared to last year.

The H on Altuve's hat actually looks like white embroidered thread. It has a 3D pop to it.

Look at Kershaw's eyes. He has a soul in there if that makes sense.

Can anyone from the Dev team say if the same skin lighting technology has been applied to the crowd at all? I know you don't always see them, but they are in a few of the zoomed in pitcher shots.
