In pictures it's dark because of the outfield lights and I don't necessarily blame them for comparing it to those views but to me it should look much more closer to what it looks like to those inside the stadium.

Here is what the city looks like when you are at a game (even with the outfield lights on):

This is somewhat misleading. They are bright because of the long exposure used, a must use and beautiful technique used in any sort of night photography.

Another thing about that picture is the background looks so bright, because the stadium lights look off (maybe they are actually off)... so the background looks much brighter... if the stadium lights we're on.... the background would be much more dramatically drowned out. Not saying dark per se, but darker... comparatively.

Is this the video about tattoos, office buildings, long sleeves, and permanent chalk?

I haven't watched yet. I've only read this thread.

I am beginning to think maybe this thread should be renamed as this years Little Things Thread.

The other thing I am thinking is that when this is the only stuff people have left to complain about that the developers must have then succeeded in making a great playing baseball game.

Hey, I pointed out some legitimate issues that actually affect gameplay but it got buried in the lighting and tattoo talk

Well... we didn't really see anything new, the big shiny "back of the box" improvements like lighting and licensed equipment were featured in previous streams.

When you are already aware of the positives it is much easier to point out some of the smaller negatives, for example - outfielders still fire rockets off their back foot and charge in on hard hit line drives or grounders. Subtle a.i. decisions go a long way into making the nuances of the game seem more believable, so I am a little disappointed in that regard. I didn't see any of the non-linear route running that was shown off in the first stream, but that was probably a result of there not being too many opportunities for outfielders to backtrack.

One more thing that bugged me a bit was the unnecessary barehand catch by the Cubs SS that led to a throwing error. There was no pressure coming from the lead runner and the batter was not even halfway down the line, why in the world would a professional ballplayer even try something like that? I know there is a new speed paradigm for baserunners this year - how about a fielding urgency paradigm next year? I think that is one area of the game that we all agree needs more attention, the situational awareness of fielders.

I noticed on both streams they are playing on all star difficulty. Seems to me that is the difficulty they do all the tweaks on.

There is no denying Online has always been an issue. The devs have admitted it.

There is no denying that there are still some issues with gameplay. My personal pet peeve is how often the pitchers get drilled and that happened in the few innings we saw last night.

This thread though seems to be focused more on the Pittsburgh skyline, sleeves, etc.

still dont understand the logic max XP level at 30

Yes.......this is a very understated level. I play The Show almost every day, still playing 14, and hit level 30 along time ago.

lol, you really took time to type this? Lol...

Your lighting points are dead on... That was one of the main things I was hoping to see this year was the night games lit up as they would appear from a fan sitting in the stands point of view. At PNC park the buildings and bridges are really lit up. There still isn't even any lens flare from the stadium lights. The are just white squares and look completely fake to me. Many other sports games have this and I just don't get why this game can't or won't do that.

2 things about the pitchers.... yes, they get drilled too often, (they dont get drilled near that much IRL, but also.... in the game, they also collect way too many comebackers.... you dont see NEAR the frequency of pitchers grabbing comebackers IRL as you do in the Show. IRL, they collect them, but in the game, I'd say about 90-95% of the time the pitcher gets it.. One of my very few pet peeves about the game.

Great stream. Really enjoyed it.

Does anyone know why so many players were being waived when they were showing off the franchise menu? I use 30 team control but it seemed odd to see some pretty established stars waived. I know the game is still a work in progress.

Here's a picture I took from Club Cambria in early May

I wish that the bleachers and stands at back, look like in the picture from the batter perspective, other than that, the game looks beautiful!

Edit: Nvm, already read that they are working on that!
