This happens all the time.

People get ahead of themselves. There is a blog/vlog/stream dedicated to player models in March. I would wait until then to see what improvements were or were not made to the player models for '17. This is a 4 minute trailer that was created to provide a preview of the new gameplay improvements and animation expansion. We have no idea when this trailer was created and if any other improvements (player models, lighting, grass tech, etc) were at work in this trailer or not.

Old player models from 2010 have been an eyesore for literally years.

With respect to your point, player models would most certainly have to included in even the earliest of builds -especially marketing pieces like this one.

They're not going to hold those back like the high-render art elements like grass etc for later reveal.

That may be true, I have no idea have game development works.

But in this thread we have people seeing two different types of outfield walls and now we have some people saying there are no changes to player models and others saying they have noticed changes to player models.

I was just saying that if we waited until the blog/vlog/stream about player models, we could eliminate all the guess work.

Anybody else notice that Arrieta's biceps looked a little bigger than other models and that his jersey sleeves were a bit shorter, or was it just me? Could be sign of new models/sleeve fit. Who knows?

Anyways, that trailer got me pumped! Can't wait for Thursday!

Someone mentioned this but Arrieta definitely has a shorter sleeve shirt. This is undoubtedly a good sign because we were never able to see the biceps on players and you can clearly see his.

Dan Uggla is not impressed [emoji1320][emoji1320]

But yeah it does seem Arrieta's jersey sleeves are a bit shorter. It looks like the trailer could be a mix of old build vs newer build with glimpses of possible new player models in there? I might be in the minority, but the player models don't really bug me that much even though I'm all for updating graphically wherever possible. Like countryboy mentioned, I'm sure we will get more info on player models in a later stream.

I'm with you. My only eyesores with the player models are the lineback shoulders for most players and the "pillow under jersey" look for fatter players.

Yeah, the Matt Adams model really makes me cringe.

Ugh I'm so annoyed. I hope these aren't the final player model builds. Unchanged for literally ever.

I am really hyped about the game so far, but yes, I am annoyed too that they are still using the same player models. I don't know why but to me this makes it look like the PS3 version with better lighting and details. Hopefully they start working on this for next year.

The guessing game and easter egg hunt of trying to find new things in an early trailer is half the fun of waiting for a new game. Without it this thread would be nothing but praise, which is fine I suppose, but it makes for a very boring thread. All the deep digging, criticism, feedback,and guessing make it much more interesting. And it's not like it's all for nothing either, we've already seen a dev in this thread responding to some of the feedback given.

And the running speed bars are back instead of those circles! Thanks SCEA!

Yay! That was my idea

Re: MLB The Show 17 Video - Gameplay Improvements & Animations Expansion

I also am hoping looking at the Wrigley Field foulpoles that they FINALLY fixed (can't see it), the incorrect 'Double Santo' as I call it. Ernie Banks is a legend in the game, yet his #14 for the last two years has not been depicted on the foul pole. Instead it's two #10's (Santo), and Jenkins' #31. Don't get that at all. Banks is in the game, yet his 14 isn't up there. Sandberg is in the game, and his retired jersey number is fine on the right field flag pole.

Pretty sure somebody finally pointed the double numbers out to us and we corrected it a while back...

That's a welcome change!

I never liked the circles for some reason.

It's a bit harder to tell how full they are, and someone who has a 1 speed can easily be mistaken for someone who has a 99 speed.

It's the little things.

Agreed as long as the feedback is posted in a mature and productive tone.

For the most part feedback has been posted in a civil and respectful manner.

The deep digging and easter egg hunting is fun to read.
