Up the middle double play tosses are far more efficient now too.

They really have upped the game defensively. The double play animations look fantastic. Ultra realistic.

Also balls up the middle hitting pitchers excessively are claimed to be fixed!!!

They dropped a comment about the fact that they added more pitcher fielding animations to prevent line drives/fast grounders from hitting off the pitcher like it did in the past.

Just said you should hardly ever see the ball firing off the pitchers head and body like in the past. Added a lot more animations for the pitcher fielding those or it getting by him.

These guys are lazy and just don’t have any reason to improve the game (sarcasm off). GREAT job fellas. Looking forward to release day.

Does really look like they put in work on the fielding. Interesting stuff.

Official......Pre-Ordered.

The gameplay improvements are off the hook. I saw enough already to be like "WOW!"

The new defensive animations they have added...the smoothness of it, the urgency improvement....just awesome.

I will say, these new defensive enhancements/animations focused on urgency and efficiency are pretty amazing.

They are now moving on to combating base running exploits that are mostly seen when playing online head to head.

How fluid are the branch animations? Or was that shown off?

Very fluid. Everything is really smooth.

Re: MLB The Show 19 Twitch Stream - Defensive Improvements

Just showed a fix to the pitchout exploit...in the past, people would stop part way down the line and go back to first on a steal. Now, the runner slips and can be thrown out a first.

For me though. Gameplay wasn't a major issue. It's always played a good game of baseball. It's just gotten stale for me. Lots more info to wait for though. So we'll see.
