Re: MLB 16 The Show Trailer, Josh Donaldson is the Cover Athlete

Clearly you've never been a professional hitter. The greatest stars of the game have the illusion of the ball appearing to come in slow and big, so they can do absolutely anything they want with it!

And here I thought I had everyone fooled.

I would think that, regardless of my views of hitting mechanics in video games, it would have been a safe bet to assume that I was never a professional hitter...lol.

Really happy about the announcements so far. Everything else they add is gravy. This will be the newest baseball game for me since MLB 13 TS.

I hope you realize two of my above three posts were entirely massive jokes.

Not excited about anything so far. Graphics and player models do not look improved. Hopefully the franchise mode will get some love. We need stats!!! Maybe they don't understand what we mean by that

Man does this series need new player models and animations.
At a quick glance, it's like you're watching an HD version of MLB08.

No worries, my meter was working fine.

Maybe it's me, but I don't see a difference. Please don't jump all over me, but player models, throws, etc. all look the same. If they don't fix the fielder animations, especially outfielders, I'll be upset. I guess I'm spoiled with 2K graphics, cuz I don't see a big difference.

So sad the Vita version is done, but anyone that's followed Sony's stance on its own hardware shouldn't have been surprised this was coming.

I still play 12, 13, 14 and 15 with current and classic rosters, so I've got enough to tide me over, and I can still use Remote Play at home, I suppose.

Cross-saves was a life-saver for me and enabled me to play deeper into Franchise/Season modes with all of my travel for work. Not sure how that will work for me now that I'm restricted to just the PS4 version.

What I'll miss the most is the cross-save. My four year old doesn't let me sit in my office and play PS4, but she has no problem with me playing something on my Vita. So I'll sit on the couch and play The Show. I was able to cruise through my RTTS this way.

Remote play doesn't work well in my house because my PS4 isn't wired (yet) and its really hit or miss depending on who is home and what they're streaming from.

Sad day indeed.

Yep new player models and animations would put this game over the top!

I know nothing is ever going to be perfect but o man when MLB The Show gets new player models along with much improved animations specially running the bases animations MLB The Show would be the king of all sports games!!

But someone here made a great point in saying he thinks maybe the reason we have not gotten new player models is because of how much detail goes into building all the stadiums. Perhaps the PS4 is already limited by it's spces. I guess we need the PS5 already

Hey, I'd love to see improved faces and models as well, but there's two important things to remember here. First, this is pre-beta footage and we have no idea how far along they are in development. There are still plenty of features to be introduced that we don't even know about yet, revamped visuals could be one of them.

Second (and more important), these trailers are sometimes spliced together using existing assets, which is very important when it comes to breaking down/analyzing footage. The bottom line is we won't know whether player faces/models are improved or not until we get confirmation from SDS.

Wow, I don't know if I've ever seen more complaining about a Pre-Beta video out there...

We all just love this game so much and really want it to be the best we know it can be

Also I think a lot of us get very anxious around here this time of year because we are so close to a flood of info coming in.

That's quite a stretch. QUITE a stretch....
But I like the positive attitude.

All I know is this sneak peek got me to eject NBA 2k16 out of my PS4 and pop The Show 15 back in for a while. This game is still so much fun. Dynamic Difficulty tuned into the perfect setting for me, combined with some slider tweeks. Perfect combination of challenge and fun.

Also, I'm not ashamed to admit it. I spent all my remaining Stubs (over 26k) and purchased 26k training points for my RttS shortstop. Now he is 99 rated in every category but L/R Power, Bunting & Drag bunting, and Arm Strength. I'm guessing dynamic difficulty will be going up a bump now.

Same here, I'd almost forgotten how many ways there are to enjoy this game. This weekend I went from filling out my DD card collection to starting a 1984 throwback season to attempting to break my RttS player out of a miserable batting slump.
