will we see cloth physics in this hardware generation?

Anyone have any thoughts?

I say we will see that before closed roofs. Which is fine. Got about 5 more years to get it done.

I hope so. The stadiums are so amazing the uniforms are a bit of an eyesore. Still a spectacular looking game.

Yeah I am really pulling for rebuilt player models and cloth physics. I think that will really push the game over the edge in the graphics department. That and rebuilt presentation would really seal the deal for me and make it 100% perfect.

I'd like closed roofs as well, but it's not such a desire for me since my team doesn't have one. I'm sure it would be higher on my list if it did.

I certainly hope so.

The uniforms still look better than Madden, where the wrinkles and folds and shadows are basically just painted on to a flat palette.

We'll likely see both (physics and closed stadiums) and more when they decide to make the game PS4 only.

If it's anything like last generation, that will take a while. Didn't they continue to release the ps2 version up through MLB 11? If it's the same for this gen, then we won't see PS4 exclusivity until MLB 19.

I'm just glad we finally have melanin physics.

Re: will we see cloth physics in this hardware generation?

I will be shocked if we don't get new consoles by late 2018, so I say we see both in the next couple of years.

You think so? I dont know man I feel like this generation will be ours for at least another 5-6 years. Sony/MS/Nintendo seem to be realizing that throwing out consoles every other year isn't as profitable as it used to be.

Yeah I say 2018 or 19 as another then last gen ever gen has been like 5-6 years. Last gen was like 2 years longer then normal and the people that make the games started to complain about it.

Would you accept a year of no new modes, gameplay improvements or whatever, but in exchange there is a complete graphical overhaul? I think I would.

Except it doesn't work that way.

For as long as there has been sports video gaming message boards there has been this notion that there is a choice between graphical improvements or game play improvements.

Simply put, we can have both. They are two entirely different departments of a game's development staff.

We constantly go back and forth over what our preferences are when it comes to improvements, but the problem is that our opinions are all subjective. We all have specific tastes and what is important to one person might not matter to another.

The best part about that is that if any video game developer can allocate the resources (time and funding) for any specific compartment of the game then that game can and will see improvements within that department. But graphical improvements hardly ever come at the expense of game play, just as the opposite holds true.

Graphical improvements come at the expense of other graphical improvements left on the table because the graphics department didn't have enough time or manpower to address a multitude of large priorities.

I long for a day where gamers can grasp this concept and begin to understand how this aspect of game development works. I think we all will be better off if we realize this and stop fighting with each other over what our own specific priorities are because we are all correct and we can have it all, it just takes time.
