This makes me so incredibly happy. I always thought the rock pile could look better in game, but that looks way better than I could've imagined. Thank you so much SCEA!

Edit: There's even cracks in the concrete, that's just a ridiculous level of detail .

Good God, I am imagining an updated Progressive Field with those graphics and...well...something about new pants.

If all the stadiums look as good or very close to that screenshot of those rocks then that would definitely lessen my disappointment for the stat overlays basically looking the same again. At least until MLB The Show 17 lol

I am really just blown away by that PBR screenshot!!!

It's my home stadium (as well?) so I was so happy to see it. It didn't detract too much from the game for me, but the old rocks always looked like mush with a green blanket draped over it.

Ramone's screenshot is from a weird angle so you can't see the whole thing, but I wonder what the waterfalls look like too.

I can't wait to see what PBR can do for for Citizens Bank Park

This is really getting exciting now!!!

As the visually impaired gamer on here, what exactly is pbr? Sounds like it works wonders for visuals!

How about you mind your own business(since you want to dispense others doing the same)?

Physically based rendering improves the way light interacts with objects in video games. Each object is given a value that determines how much it reflects and diffuses light. A brick is going to reflect light differently than, say, a steel beam.

This is huge because The Show has so many different lighting conditions. Time of day, time of year and night lighting. Not to mention objects that are in direct sunlight and objects in the shadows.

Will every object in the game benefit from this? Probably not. But I think if they can do the dirt, grass, walls and important stadium landmarks, it will greatly improve how the game looks.

Lol, that PBR teaser pic has got us all in a tizzy and distracted from the original purpose of this thread...today's RTTS/Showtime twitch stream

Overall, I'm pumped from the info we got today and the improvements to RTTS. And this is coming from a primary franchise player.
- Bowman scouting day
- Scouting rating scale
- New Running animations
- mention of over 600 new animations
- new equipment brands (was hoping for new balance this year but no big deal)
- ability to bypass the simulator screen during RTTS games
- ability to play a series without backing out to the RTTS menu after each game (love this feature! Will save lots of time)
- "player personality" in editing screen
- Showtime feature (not too gimmicky for my taste. And if so, I'll turn it off [emoji6])
- Team uniforms worn in player editing screen (finally! Lol)
- And to top it all off, the tweet from Ramone showing off the new PBR. Man, this game is sure looking impressive!

I'm sure I missed a few things, but these were the main ones that stick out in my mind. All of this and it is only after the 1st Twitch stream! I know some here aren't gonna get the changes/additions they want, but you gotta admit it's pretty hard to not be impressed with what we have seen after today. Can't wait for the upcoming streams and new info to hear about even more of what the development team is bringing to the table this year. Looks like it's gonna be another great year of MLB The Show!

interesting in player editor what was personality ?? is that new?? I think it is!

I have never seen the Personality Tab before in edit player can't beleive no one else has picked up on this.

I am going to take a stab here and say the franchise feature that they didn't wanna talk about was maybe import players into franchise, seeing as they were in edit player. just a guess and a wishful thing !

I think they mentioned next Tuesday during the game play stream that they would have pbr turned on.

Is it really going to make that much of a difference on the player models or will the new stadiums with pbr outshine the models and make them feel out of place? Can anyone explain how it might affect the visuals of the player models themselves?
