My strategy as a manage mode user will be to get fast middle infielders who can get a glove on ground balls and let the human AI do the rest.

Ramone specifically commented on this in the video, stating that they were playing on Veteran difficulty.

He did but I'll stick with my impression of human AI until I see differently because I doubt difficulty changes it because it is animation. I have yet to see an infield hit. I'll get fast SS and 2B, a good 3B in manage mode and I'll bet there are tons of double plays. The key will be to get infielders who can get a glove on the ball and let the animation do the rest. That's the plan.

There wasnt one particular thing about the video that jumped out at me as different from MLB16. Yet, somehow it looks and feels (even though I obviously haven't played it) different and new. Everything just flows so well together.

If i remember well, he was referring to hitting. Maybe Tessl is right, i don't know and it's difficult to point out gameplay aspects from a youtube video or live streams. But i got a similar feeling, honestly.

The Yankees numbers seemed to be higher on the back of the jersey. Maybe not exactly where they need to be, but much much better.

I don't know why people thinking showing the Pro version on a twitch or youtube stream when the stream is capped at 1080p and add bitrate compression to degrade the image. It was one of the reasons that Mark Cerny gave at the PS4 pro Presentation, you will not see the difference on those streams, it is a waste of time. If they show the Pro version people will say it looks no different.

Sony should just upload an inning of the Pro on YouTube 4K, it will still take a hit graphically, but for those who can view it on a 4K TV will get some inkling as to how it looks.
