    I’m guessing this video was from a while back because Aaron Boone wasn’t the manager and the skin tones looked all wonky.

      The actual managers usually don't get added until the year after they're hired. Joe Maddon was a generic his first year with the Cubs. Ditto with Dusty Baker and the Nats (RIP). Boone probably got the same treatment.

        Hopefully with the improved crowd AI, they will be able to fix certain overreations. Situations like the entire stadium going wild after a random strikeout, the crowd standing after a routine groundball, or still going crazy several pitches after a HR. As for the strikeouts, I still noticed the whole crowd jumping to its feet after the first two Gray K’s, but the reaction to the third strikeout was beautiful (majority of the crowd stayed in their seats while cheering). The reaction to the Andujar homer was fine, but it continued too long into the next AB. If you watch a real life MLB game, pretty much everyone is seated by the time the first or second pitch is thrown to the next batter.

        Not to be too nitpicky, but those are just a couple of minor things that could really help the crowd feel more realistic and less like a “video game crowd.” The dev team always does a great job addressing the little things that help make the game so realistic. The hands moving on the bats, the net over monument park, facial expressions after each pitch, etc. They all go a long ways.

          Boone most likely won't be in until next year. What I don't like is how the generic manager has a beard! Silliness, as the Yankees don't allow beards. Same thing happened in The Show 08, when I started a Franchise my Manager looked like Bill Bellamy.

              • Sonny Gray has a new windup and its perfect.
              • Players flex their fingers and stuff on the bat, which is cool.
              • Yankee Stadium textures and lighting look great.
              • Very cool cut scene from Monument Park that's new
              • Gary Sanchez has a new face and looks like himself.
              About time Sanchez made it to San Diego for his face scan. Still notice the enormous interlocking NY logo on the helmets even though the bat boys logo is the right proportion. Why can't that be fixed? Must be something in the code?

                Haven't read yet but I hope they put in a ton of new throwing animations, or at least a feature to "Urgent/Quick throw" the long canned throwing ani's are decent in infield but Outfield those guys snap an sling it more like catchers.

                The show has struggled with this as theres very fine positioning you Need to do just to get the "doable" gun a runner out animation.

                  Since I didn't see anyone else mention it I'll go ahead and do it...looks like old school flapless helmets are in!

                    The game does seem more fluid, but I am going to have to wait for more of the upcoming streams to make a decision this year.

                    Graphics do look pretty dang good.

                      They just have to be coaching/managing the prior year. Joe Maddon was with the Cubs his first season in MLB The Show.

                          May be very minor to some, but the front jersey numbers need some love. Looked like in those clips they hadn’t been addressed. Obviously, I am aware that the new art may not be in the build. Just hoping it is a priority this year.

                          The Brewers Jerseys look really bad when comparing the the real assets to the ones in 17.

                            Didnt realize they where. Probably why it wasn't mentioned, lol.

                              Can anyone confirm if they added the LED lights design around the stadium ?

                                What LED lights design do you mean?
