On another note, I think some folks are taking this WIP thing to beyond its logical conclusion. lol. Sure we know the game isn't finished, but we can't explain away every complaint with "WIP."

I think pointing out some of the errors or things that should be fixed may be helpful at this point. The devs read the forum and might have time to make a fix, If not there is no harm in trying to assist.

All of the guys were in ST last year and everyone knew they would be called up very soon. I'm pretty sure they already got scanned. As for Bryant and Schwarber they have there personal stances and swings as well.

I also noticed Machado and Gausman have improved scans this year.

Regardless of projected call up dates can someone be scanned if they aren't yet part of the MLBPA?

Honest question because I don't know.

Good question. I think I heard them mention before that they did scan rookies before they debuted for upcoming versions, but i could be wrong.

The most success we've ever seen from a commentary team was actually a fictitious team.

Tim and Jim from MLB Slugfest?

I think they can scan anyone in camp that is willing to it. It's not manditory though. They just can't add a player with a scan in that isn't part of the MLBPA. There was an article on this 2 years ago about scanning players in camp. They also mentioned in a stream last year they scanned players that were minor leaguers or rookies in camp. It's no guarantee they got every rookie or vetern added last year. Maybe Ramone can clarify?

Whether they have the scans or not is immaterial if they can't use them. The fact is the face scans are, have been, and most likely will be 1+ year behind the player debuts due to development cycle and licensing issues.

It's also a completely different issue having "Prospect Stance X" in the game that happens to kinda look like Bryant's stance and actually putting his likeness in the game and labeling it as said player.

I agree 100%. The problem is that the conversation becomes partisan at times (it is an election year, lol) with people a bit too quick to go negative on the game and other people a bit too quick to play 'knight in shining armor' and come to the defense of the game.

MY issue is when OS'ers have a legitimate gripe and they get plowed over by snarky comments and "WIP," "dude, WIP", and "ghost ride the WIP" etc..We know the devs can't fix everything and pointing out errors and shortcomings, if done in a grown up way, is actually essential in moving the game forward. If everyone gets lazy, congratulatory, and complacent, then there's less awareness about where improvements can be made. I mean, in the dev stream just today, they even gave OS a shout out basically for whining about SOTS which influenced their decision to add it back. If everyone's just saying "great job" and "you guys are the best!" to them all the time, it actually doesn't do them much good at all.

No, because scanned during Spring Training '16 means they don't get in until MLBTS 17. They are about 1 year behind due to the dev cycle...they can't frantically go scanning everyone in Feb/March and have enough time to finalize the visual 'assets' and meet a 3/29 release deadline.

So there's hope for '17, but very little for '16 if you want face scans for rookies from last year. My understanding is...

2015 - Player debuts in MLB
2016 ST - Ramone et al hunts player down in AZ or FL and tosses into face scanner
2017 - Face scan appears triumphantly in game

Right! Forgot about that

SoTS is attached and saved to local rosters. I don't play online but it uses online standard rosters right? Those won't have sounds attached to them.

Does anyone know if you can edit player's size inside the game? I'd like to cut back on Schwarber's gut a tad. He looks like he weighs about 350 in his AB.

Not on a real player you cant edit body type currently but could be on MLB 16 not sure. This is why I provide a height and weight change list after launch to get some of these fixed.

Wonder what other equipment is in the game that they mentioned couldn't be shown on the stream?

Hmm...

Dare I say that we can see road/hone jerseys?

Re: MLB The Show 16 Twitch Stream - The Little Things (Archive Available)

Looks like Bryant, Russell, Schwarber, Correa, Khris Davis, Gennett all have generic faces and weren't scanned

If they're not scanned, I'll be all over 'em.

I'm loving the new roster/edit screen. U can see the players while scrolling thru the roster, love it! (wearing current uniforms puts the cherry on top!)

One thing I noticed... Colby Rasmus still has the fake beard from 2 years ago! It has to go! I'm glad he's not on the Jays anymore so I don't have to be annoyed while playing with him lol.

Looks like a good.... nah.. awesome game coming our way, looking forward to the release day!

Yeah its gonna kill me LOL He had longer curly hair during playoffs and reminded us astros fans of.....
