No double headers. No postponements!

I was hoping this was the reason for the rain delay change. Disappointing, would've been a welcomed addition.

I liked last weeks stream better than this week. Nothing on the stream really got me excited and they kept mentioning DD and RTTS but nothing about Franchise. I'm going into the Franchise stream next month not really expecting anything.

This dev team is tone def to the things we want fixed or added to the game.

A couple of positive takeaways:

-The stadium guys are really doing a great job. Bleachers, the new seating behind the plate in Houston, “Chop House,” etc. all look great.
-I feel like there were more variations in swing types. McCann and Story stood out to me.
-Catcher animations are smoother, especially when going from the crouch down to one knee.
-Umpires no longer look over their shoulder before every pitch.

Colors definitely need to be improved but it appears that the Nats red and some accessories are looking better, so hopefully they’re still working on other teams. I also wish they would have shown fog and maybe played a few innings in it. And I’m not a huge equipment guy, but Nike catchers gear *really* needs to be in the game considering so many catchers wear it, and Nike is now an in-stadium ad.

We don't even know if he's going to be a two way player in real life. Depends on how bad the elbow damage is.

He will be a 2 way player this season. It's been confirmed by Mike Scioscia. And his elbow damage is the same as any other pitcher his age. That whole story about his UCL was blown way out of proportion.

Same with tanaka every time he has 1 bad game for the past 4 years people say he needs Tommy John. the fact that he good games mixed in with bad proves its not a issue.

Expos.........

OMG!

Another thing, it still looks like the injuries don't make sense. In the stream a pitcher got hit by a comebacker and got injured, which is a good sign, however the injury was a pulled muscle.

I feel like last weeks stream was better and more informative. Seems like they are more structured and informative when Nick and Steve are leading the stream.

This is something they really need to get on. It is now a big part of every game in the league now.

I think the biggest issue is that we can't challenge ourselves. it's just a random event at 1st base where it gives us a choice if we want to challenge rather then us implementing it

I am not sure how they can expand further to that though, goofy things can happen with challenging

Yeah. As it stands, there is still no reason for me turn on "Umpire Close Plays" (meaning it will miss calls occasionally) when the challenge system is limited to one event that doesn't even get reviewed by the CPU team. Same reason I don't use Balks in my offline play.

I have to believe they're trying, and that it's some kind of major undertaking.

They might go into more detail next year with changes to challenges. Don't forget, 2018 is going to be the beginning of change of pace strategy for the MLB so most likely SSDS will go more extensively with these changes and refer to them as "the little things" for next year.

I'm not buying the lighting excuse for the colors or all teams colors would be off. For the red itself how come the Indians red throwbacks last year were the right red? How come the lightining didnt affect those?

And they corrected the Mariners teal that was too dark a few years back and the Jays blue that was also too dark several years ago.

If they can fix the colors on some teams but not all then I'm not buying the lighting excuse or the problems would be across all the colors and specfically all the reds.

Unless they're waiting to show us Nike catchers equipment during RTTS stream... But Im not holding my breathe.

I really dont get it, definitely since Nike is a big sponsor in the game now.

Agreed, I cant think of another sports game that has the jersey colors wrong.

Can you imagine the up roar if colors were off in Madden or 2k?

Re: MLB The Show 18 - Twitch Stream - Batting Stance Creator & The Little Things (LIV

I'm curious, has anyone from the development team ever come here and acknowledged the incorrect colors?
