I know you are not asking me per say but while I think it will help people in regards to telling them who they have control over and where they are, I miss that view. It took a little to get used to.

He quoted this

	Licensed Equipment (PS4 & PS3 Only) For the first time ever MLB The Show will include licensed equipment from some of the most recognizable brands in baseball. Earn as you play to enhance your RTTS or Diamond Dynasty players and partner with iconic brands by bringing sponsorships to your Franchise team! (Equipment on PS3 version is not seen during gameplay.)

Sounds like Licensed Equipment is in the game for the PS3 and provides the stat bonuses in RTTS but the Equipment will not show on the players during actual gameplay.

I've been asking for this for a while now...

Got this response last year from Russell:

And i've been told, they'd have to separate the jersey itself from the undershirt, which is something they should do anyways, if they want it to look more realistic. Anyways, here's to hoping to next year.

I was re-watching the stream again , the part where they were playing SD vs SF and I noticed after the pitcher threw the ball it was " glowing " sort of coming to the plate. Is that because they have the ball tracker turn or is this they way it will look in the game. The ball to me looked kinda weird with the glow,thanks.

We hope.

The real equipment truly took this game to that next level in my humble opinion.

Hustlin I am stealing that .gif for later uses. IE when people ask if OSFM is released, where can I find it, etc.

Yes, I do personally, just because it's less of a distraction now. The fact that the player's not having their numbers anymore is even a topic, proves that it was a slight distraction from the big picture.

I also think it is now a lot more intuitive, for those who have struggled with baserunning. Nem and I talked about how the baserunning controls in Super Mega Baseball were lauded for their simplicity, when in actuality they are pretty much the same as the Show; the major difference being how that info was being relayed and explained to the users. This will definitely prove helpful in managing multiple runners.

Again, that's my opinion. I think Nem actually liked having the view.

There just was not a lot of incentive to worry about salary.

I thought they had a trophy for having a certain career earning amount. I think it was 20 mill?

Probably not enough for a stream.

Maybe, but I don't pay much attention to trophies. It's fun when they pop up in my normal gameplay but I don't go out of my way to achieve them in any of my games.

Yep I do exactly the same thing haha. It would be cool if there was an actual risk reward to those kind of decisions. Team player vs selfish. Take low salary and leave room for a stronger roster or take the big check and just improve yourself.

If you look real close, the header on that column is "H," which is the side he hits from. Kirby Yates hits from the left side, so this is correct. What's not correct (and is a bug) is that we show the pitcher's batting side instead of throwing hand. This will be updated to show the pitcher's throwing hand. Yates does throw from the right side in the game.

I may have missed it somewhere along the way, but is the regular timing hitting still in? As it has been in years past, or has it changed.
