I wonder how it would look with the clear backround but maybe have a small black backround just behind the pitcher selections?
I like the one on the right.

It's a generic face, Correa has one too. Trout as well

I am guessing to late for 16 though.

The issue with Wrigley for me is that the game allows outfielders to attempt to rob home runs and clip the through the basket. I know it's been mentioned as a bug in past years and it just happened again to me in RTTS the other day where my player's entire upper half was clipped through the basket. I'd like for outfielders, at least AI to not try and rob any home runs at Wrigley. Most of not all MLB outfielders who play there play the wall like well a brick wall.

Is there any chance that the body types are still WIP as well?? I haven't heard them talk about that in any of the streams.

I certainly hope they can still be changed It will be awfully difficult to 'stomach' looking at a fat Rizzo every game in franchise...

I remember outfielders would do that on the high left field wall in Cincinnati and the right field wall in Philly as well. I thought it looked rather hilarious.

Schwarber too. He's "buff" but he's not fat by any means, which is how he is depicted from what I've seen in the streams.

Anything new with stat tracking and presentation?

Totally agree. I am loving literally everything I am seeing and hearing about this year so far, and I will certainly play the game regardless (have had it pre-ordered from day 1), but it will definitely be disappointing if they can't be changed before release.

It just seems weird that Rizzo would suddenly be given that model, he looked fine in 15...same could probably be said for some of the other guys.

Again, I am hoping this falls under the WIP category and is going to be addressed. Any devs able to shed some light on whether this is a possibility?

The generic "Latino" face...

One thing that they need to implement in batters being able to move in the box prior to the pitch.

New to the forums here so I can't make my own topic but maybe someone in here can help me out.. Is there a difference im missing between downloading the latest OSFM roster update and starting up my franchise now then carry it over to 2016 or having to wait until the 2016 OSFM comes out after release? (Other than the franchise schedule being different)

Well as always at this time of year...follow the likes. The tend to show whose been reading which threads.

All we can do is point stuff out and hope they get fixed in time.

There's enough proof in that Rondon pic to demonstrate one of the biggest changes needed in MLB Show 16--regardless of all the other stuff we've seen--is that they must get relief pitchers to have less innings pitched than games on a consistent basis (those stats are from real life in the pic). Only a long reliever should be beyond that ratio, with the occasional workhorse mixed in.

We need bullpen matchups, and not guys being taken out just because they gave up a hit or a run...even after getting an out the manager should spring into action. Even with hook at 10, this doesn't happen.

It's changes like this that are going to take this game to the next level.

This is one of my only major issues with this game. Too often I see relievers pushing 90-100 innings, even a few closers. This would be a HUGE change!

Carlos Correa still has a generic face. What a bummer. The dude is the future of the league. Does the Show update player faces through patches? I really hope so. Game does look great though.

More I watch these vids the more I want them to adjust the size of the base runners info while your at bat. It covers up the 1st baseman and even the runner when they have a short lead. Would like to see it smaller or even an option to hide it

100% agree!!!

I really like the new default camera and I am thinking about using it but something needs to be done with the base runners info. If that is not fixed I most likely will not use this new camera and stick with the good old classic behind the catcher camera. That's as long as it's still available of course

Perhaps if they moved the base runners info down some just enough to not block the runners?

Russell would that be possible?
