Well you cannot even say why you are bored with it...don;t like baseball? How else should it play?

I stated ONE reason and you failed to see it, so why would I bother stating more?
You appear to post on emotion rather than reason... Not a good habit in life.. Just my opinion of course.

Getting excited for the drop, can't wait! (In my Bart Scott voice)

Just watched the video. Gotta say... graphics do look better...and the game looks amazing. I CAN NOT WAIT for this to come out. For this being a WIP build, it's got me excited.

It all pretty much seems like tiny incremental steps, which is fine because it's understandable, but at some point I'd like to think a realistic minor league system is more important than the shade of green for The Green Monstah. I know I know, two different things entirely, but lower minor leagues matter to franchises in real life. Why not in this game?

There definitely needs to be an all new player model for this current generation of console, but it's surely a monumental task to completely overhaul that area. No game has really done, that FIFA and NBA are just extremely better versions of the same model from last era.

NHL however did do an overhaul and it was extremely well done, and very needed just like it is in MLB The Show. MLB's models simply don't have the elasticity that relates for me of these players athleticism. That's largely because of the lack of body types, having probably less than 5 bodies?

FIFA's player models are remarkable. I really would wish it were possible MLB could mimick those but if anything, I would at least like them to expand the players flexibility.

I have an idea! Let's all pick out a bunch of superficial, non-critical, minute details of the game and complain about why these things make the game soooo terrible... oh wait, many of you already did.

Anyway, game looks amazing, as always, can't wait for The Show season. Love the new coloring, the new shadows (my biggest question is, will these shadows come into play when trying to hit? God I hope so. But if not, I can understand why), the changes to dynamic difficulty, the fact that the Wrigley renovations are in the game (even though I think the final plans have been tweaked since the concept model they built it off of). And I'm sure there's a ton of other stuff I loved that I just saw and can't even remember now. I'm 37 and feel like a kid in a candy store cause I can remember playing the original Baseball game on the NES back in 87. Kids these days are too spoiled with the technology we have.

Looks good. Though I figured jerseys would be 100% physics based by now. Players are still lifting their arms straight up and their sleeves remain straight. A small thing.

In this day and age where there is no competition from other developers with an MLB game of their own, the fact that the devs are engaging, and open about what theyd like to add, what they can't add, etc. speaks volumes.

Good stream, just need the 31st of March to get here.

Hang on a minute. Am I missing something here... Do they have local broadcast overlays? I saw in a Cubs screen it had a CSN overlay. If this is the case I don't think I can take it anymore, my head might just explode.

I'm pretty sure that was just a comparison photo.

Did anyone else notice that the pitcher for the Dodgers that comes in after Kershaw has light skinned arms but a darker face and neck that doesn't match the arms?????? Hope this gets fixed.....

[johnnyg83]

I'm really excited. Once they announced "continue your franchise" I started playing almost every game in my season instead of playing one game a series. I find it so much more rewarding ... matchups, cold streaks, starting pitching match-ups, fatigue, it all becomes so much more important.

I'll never not buy a new version. It's worth it to me even if the upgrades are subtle.

Something that I have always thought was an eye sore has been fielders reacting to a bad throw before his team mate even threw the ball. In other words scripted errors. I saw a shot in the feed where it looked the same. I hope I'm wrong and they've addressed this, but I have my doubts.

Hmmm... not really seeing the need to argue over personal opinions, it does nothing but derail the thread (as we can see from the last 10+ pages). The generalizations and complaining about the complainers is getting a little tiresome too.

Can't we all just respect our fellow members' opinions and accept them for what they are?

Now I personally was pleased with what I saw from the stream - the dynamic lighting, warmer color filter, and new equipment stood out to me.

I was disappointed with some of the animations and a.i. decisions though, specifically legacy ones that have been in the game for years. I'm talking about the barehand catch and throw all-in-one motion by middle infielders on double play attempts and the a.i. decision to throw off-balance to second on plays going away from the second base bag.

The first issue isn't as much of a problem aesthetically as it is gameplay-wise, in that it greatly increases double play success rate. The fact that the animation is triggered at a high rate doesn't help either.

The second issue is just a commonsense baseball thing. The two plays in question were 1. Kendrick making a sliding stop deep in the 4 hole and 2. Cashner fielding a bunt down the first base line. I was always taught to throw to the base your momentum is taking you, but I obviously never played in the majors so I might be off base on that one

That's it, everything else looked pretty good to me... excited for future streams
