To me it is a good thing that the base of the game is intact and improvements and tweaks are made in certain areas where needed as the series evolves. If they made radical changes it would just give everyone else something new to complain about and demand the old style back lol. It is already the best sports game on the market so why change from that? It’s hard to make a giant leap when the presentation is already so close to that of a real life game…

I don't know why everyone wants these major overhauls and changes. If it ain't broke don't fix it. I think ppl want to complain about the game just to hear themselves gripe. As you said, if they changed it ppl would hate it and complain they want it back to the old way.

That's just plain lazy.

If you think this development team is lazy, well, you have no feedback of any value to me.

I'm happy they made a custom stance for Baez, but like the bat waves for players last year it is very exaggerated and slow. It looks similar to how "bat flick/wave" players were handled last year (Ozuna gif). This was sort of my fear before I saw his stance in game.

It's awesome that these types of swings are in the game at all now (like Japanese and slap styles), but the bat waves look awkward and seem robotic compared to how actual players swing.

Game is looking great so far overall, this is just a pet peeve of mine from last year and was hoping they'd get it right this year, especially for Baez since he might be the most well known player with that type of timing mechanism.

Also, on the Baez hit down the line it seemed like the ball maybe lost less momentum than last year, but still was much too slow to get to the corner. I feel a ball hit like that in real life reaches the corner unless the team is playing no-doubles defense. In fact here is Baez in a minor league game doubling into the corner down the line similar to the play in the live stream.

Agreed for sure not fair to call them lazy.
However he does have some valid feedback that the cutscenes are identical the last few years. That's something that really hampers the game from feeling fresh

Exactly, the gameplay is fantastic and i appreciate all the work they do to improve it but it needs a fresh coat of paint in terms of presentaion/cutscenes/camera angles.

I'll bring up the summer wind trailer again and say how good those shots panning over the crowd on the upper decks look or the camera flying in between the flags or the shot of the players running onto the field with the camera close up.I want that same personality/atmosphere or whatever ya call it put into the game's presentation.Spice it up a little.

After watching the streams and following these boards the last few years, I am convinced that the guys at SCEA are aware of and really want to implement alot of the things we want to see in the game. They will never tell you this but IMO they simply don't have enough man power. Sony needs to give them more resources (e.g, skilled programmers) so they can get more stuff in each game. I'm sure it is not that simple as Sony has to weigh its profitability against added resources. Thus, SCEA has to make tough choices each year about how to allocate the resources they have. Just look at the mess EA made of NHL 14 and 15. Why were they a mess? Because EA put all its resources to Madden. Personally, I think the MLB 15 looks fantastic. Does it have everything I want...No! As an example, I have been looking forward to improved presentation (similar to 2k series) for years. Hopefully next year? But I don't think folks here should be shouted down for pointing out glitches or for giving their vision of the perfect MLB game. I think feedback (even if sometimes viewed as negative) is positive for SCEA. Being mean spirited and abusive doesn't further the dialogue but everything else should be allowed. SCEA has shown they are very good at filtering and they have thick skin. Thanks SCEA for the Twitch streams as they have opened my eyes to just how hard you guys work and how much passion you have.

For those saying the Splash Hit counter did not work at AT&T park, I believe you guys are mistaken. I play with the Giants in Season mode and it would definitely update when I hit a splash hit home run. I would constantly do instant replay just to check if it went up and always did.

It's amazing how you can quote me directly as saying "that's just plain lazy," but then blatantly introduce your own imaginary pronoun to respond to, as if I had said "they" are lazy.

No one called anyone lazy in my post, so you should rethink your assessment. But anyway, it doesn't matter if its laziness, fatigue, hardship, greed, arrogance, carelessness, hatred or spite. Rehashing the same set of core animations for 4 years straight is something.

It just ain't good.

I'm certain it worked as well back in show 12 when I did a franchise with them. It only updates for Giants home runs so maybe people are confused.

Everyone knows what you meant, it's the only way to take it. But regardless, I refuse to get in a back and forth like what's so prevalent on here these days so I'm done with this conversation.

Remove the beard on Adam Jones please. Hes never had one

SCEA has zero control over a player reporting to spring training with a beard (Adam Jones) and then decides to shave later. When you think about it, SCEA was proactive to include AJ with a beard.

Another example is Dustin Pedroia who was all in on the Red Sox team beard bonding the previous year, and started last season with the beard. Dustin shaved his beard during the season and what can you do?

Unless we can edit player features, nothing SCEA can do with the beard.

That's admirable. You were wrong, have no proof or defense for your accusation, and are politely bowing out of the argument. I can respect that.

But I would respect it further if you would amend your original post as follows so as not to mislead readers or libel me unnecessarily:

If you think <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--><s>this development team</s> rehashing the same core presentation animations for 4 years straight is lazy, well, you have no feedback of any value to me.

This was the only way to take what I had written, since it was the only thing that was written.
