Uniforms in MLB The Show 23 appear to have gotten a noticeable graphical upgrade.

Def time for new player models. Unfortunately, if they were in I feel like they would’ve shown them in the clip. Im no programmer but less than 50 days from release we shouldn’t see anything from 22, right?

I’m hoping for a big RTTS revamp but that’s not looking good either.

How much more can they do with player models at this point? I mean seriously they already look amazing. To get much better you would need the athlete to actually be in the game himself.

I think it’s a combination of textures and possibly body scans. I’m far from a 2k or madden fanboy, but if you look at those games, it’s a noticeable difference in the jump they took on next gen. My wife of all things asked me why the baseball game “still looks like a video game” lol.

One example in madden this year is they made the shoulder pads smaller. It sounds ridiculous, but it made a huuuge difference in how the players look. The uniforms in the show just don’t sit on the player’s bodies in a realistic way.

There’s still a chance what we’re seeing is old footage, but I’m not holding my breath.

Madden is a beautiful game. But the actual content made me stop playing the game fairly quickly. The "look" of the game is only a part of what makes a game great. If what's happening on the field isn't up to what it should be, then I'll get easily frustrated. The Show on the field is top notch, even if the player models aren't up to Madden standards quite yet, I still can't put it down.

Oh yeah i was referring to the show. Someone said they do not like the show graphics. I think they are fantastic.

As for Madden the game play has so many glitches I cant even anymore

I guess for me the graphics always play second fiddle to game play. For example I will play legend bowl over madden anyday. and ofc legend bowl is not a graphical game.

Yeah I was actually agreeing with you on this. I mean I would welcome amazing graphics don't get me wrong.....

Until they stop making this game for Last Gen Consoles we arent going to see new models

So basically never then since the game will still be on Switch for multiple years after they end the PS4/XB1 versions?

Cloth physics is not a deal-breaker for me but a noticeable change in the regular uniforms from last year absolutely is. I've got enough other stuff to play if the negro league uniforms look really good but the modern stuff still looks basically the same as it did on PS3.

This is where I land. Would I love to have real cloth physics that bounce and blow in the wind dynamically? Absolutely! That's the ideal scenario, but it's not a deal breaker.

At this point I'd be stoked just to get a redesign of the way the jersey sits on the body. As it is now (and has been for about a decade) the jersey looks too flat and square in the front with no natural give or flow, like it's been starched and ironed flat, and kinda looks like it floats around the body as opposed to draping over it. The tuck into the pants is too straight and symmetrical. And the texture is too smooth, almost looks like plastic or clay. It weird and uncanny.

And it's not like they aren't able to change it, they already did with the new Negro League jerseys. I honestly think they nailed the look of those. Even though there's no dynamic cloth physics, the way they crumple and sit on the torso looks completely natural. Even if they just copy/pasted the torso (with no collar and shorter sleeves) on to the current jerseys, that would be a huge upgrade and really freshen up the look of the players in my opinion.

It's really disappointing that updating the current uniforms doesn't seem like something they're interested in doing, at least at the moment. I really hope it's in their plans because it's something I've been waiting for for a long time. I thought we finally got it this year but it appears to only be for 8 specific players.

I thought after seeing the negro league uniforms this could finally be the year we see unbuttoned shirts, better dirt/grass stains, chains free flowing instead of static glued on. I mean like anything that would lift this game out of the ps4 era but by the looks of the small tidbit we got we probably have another year where we won’t see any of that [emoji20]

I don't know if any of you guys are familiar with this term but in Angels fandom we have the saying, "getting buttercupped".

So up until a few years ago, Angel Stadium would play the song "Build Me Up, Buttercup" by The Foundations after the 7th inning stretch. It's a good song and all but it became quite infamous with fans because the lyrics in the chorus ("Why do you build me up, Buttercup baby, just to let me down?") encapsulate pretty much everything bad about being a fan of the Angels, especially over the last decade. Thinking the team is turning a corner, or getting hot at the right time to make a run at the playoffs, getting your hopes up, only for the team to falter at the last possible second, and let you down. Over and over again.

It happens all the time. Even just last year, the Angels got off to pretty much their best start in franchise history, looking like they might be playoff bound for the first time in 7 years, only to immediately go on a 14 game losing streak and be out of the race by July. We got buttercupped. Or when Arte Moreno (our dogs*** owner) announces he's selling the team, we start hearing that really great owners like Joe Lacob are interested in buying, and we start daydreaming about the team turning itself around under an owner who isn't completely incompetent, only for Arte to turn around and take the for sale sign down (for "reasons"), and now we're stuck with him indefinitely. Buttercupped.

My point is, before any info was put out about about The Show 23, I didn't really have any hope or feeling that they were going to update the uniforms. Even though it's something that is obviously pretty important to me, I had hoped and hoped over the last 10 years or so that it would change only to never see it happen. So I kinda just stopped hoping and was somewhat content. And then the video for Storylines dropped and I did a huge double take. It looked like they finally did it, they changed how the uniforms looked and it looked as good as I'd always imagined. It was amazing. Obviously I'm very excited about it, and start counting down the days to the feature premiere. I got my hopes up, they "built me up".

Then the feature premiere started and the very first thing I see is a short trailer of modern players in the same old uniforms. And over the length of the video it's becoming increasingly obvious that the redesigned uniforms are just for Storylines. The mode looks great and all but I end coming away feeling a bit deflated and disappointed, they "let me down".

They buttercupped me, man.

In addition the negro league uniforms have better textures, but don’t have much better cloth physics and severely suffer from clipping animations.

We need to have a lot more ability to customize the uniform. Many players have the top button un-buttoned....some guys un-button more than one button. MLB 2k7 could allow you to un-buttom the uniform, I don't know why in 2023 The Show likely can't.

Many players also do not wear an undershirt under the jersey. To make the game true to life, we should be able to remove the undershirt. Some players do not wear the same color undershirt as the rest of the team, we should be able to change that color as well.

High socks need to be updated as well. There are some players who pull them up over their knees for whatever reason. It's not my style, but it's being done, so I want it in the game.

We need the "oven mitt" for base runners to put on their hands. Nobody wears that "wrist brace" or whatever it's called that they've had in the Show for years.

Many runners run the bases with their batting gloves on. In the Show, if you get on base, your batting gloves automatically come off. This should be changed to wear a player can either run the bases with the gloves on or off, and if off, they can wear the brace or mitt on their hand(s).

We put Jazz on the cover because he's so charismatic and we want to embrace the "kids" and the new flashy style of baseball.....so chains should be updated. Some players wear many chains/necklaces and a lot of them hang outside the uniform. They should add more chains/necklaces.

I'm sure none of what I listed will actually be added into the game anytime soon, if ever....but these are some things I would like to make the uniforms more realistic.

Oh, and ADD BACK THE RED LABEL RAWLINGS GLOVE FOR GOD'S SAKE!

Agree with everything you said here. Improved cloth physics would do a lot in terms of how the game looks but what’s really missing is those extra little details that differentiates players in real life. The unbuttoned, no undershirt, 3 gold chains look is being adopted by a lot of MLB players today and it’s not represented in this game.

Seeing the uniform template change made my heart skip a beat … seeing this convo breaks it lol I said to myself this is the first time since god knows when I won’t be buying until I see something new visually … same uniform templates since ps3 is …. Something. I hope we are pleasantly surprised but I’m not holding my breath.
