Is it just me or does the player hair look better this year? Not only long hair styles, but any hair. It's like we're seeing more individual hair strands than in previous years.

Watching it on my t.v. I noticed more clarity in the faces, etc. lighting appeared to be enhanced.

I only caught the last 5 minutes so I don't mean to harp on a negative, but I was a little disappointed to see the same The Show Them Score Bug from last year. I at least look forward to a refresh on the Presentation from year to year. (Besides the MLB Network Theme which for obvious reasons carried over year t year until it was gone).

I also realize the footage was from a "Work In Progress" version.

Really sucks no mention of GOAT difficulty.. also looks identical visually to 24, I’m not seeing the improvements to dirt, grass and lighting some others are seeing

To add, I also noticed the The Show 25 Network presentation wipes

I really think they should create a generic network instead of just adding network to the name of the game. SDS Network would even be better a la 2K Sports.

Because of the blue circle bug I went to Auto Throw....couldn't take it anymore.....I am going to ping a dev I know about it and hope we see it fixed.

I they do respond and it is not removed, can you try to get an explanation on why?

For anyone who was curious but doesn't want to watch the whole video, 4:40 of the youtube video is when the new HR sequence came up. Showed the out-of-batter's box reaction of the hitter from the usual view but then hard cut to the wide view of the ball's flight, eventually landing out in the seats.

If that shows up a lot on no doubters it's a pretty nice compromise for those who wanted the old HR cam back.

Hope it's the default, much better

I still don't like it, but it's an improvement.

Just watched. Have they shortened the home run animations though? From that clip it looks like you see the start of a jog, cuts to the crowd and then the runner is at home plate again. Seems very quick compared to last year?

Yeah I'm not sure about why it did that, they might have been in fast play presentation. Later, during the live play section while they're showing off the HR meter several balls get over the fence and it cuts to the player rounding the bases, so I think those had it set for Hybrid or Broadcast.

I definitely feel better about the game after watching the stream. Maybe I just won’t watch the deep dives and wait for the streams for now on.

Wouldn’t surprise me. They make games faster and faster every year.

Not to create false hopes, but somewhere they mentioned all this can be turned off for those who prefer Clean Screen option. They meant we can turn them off all in once ? not sure.

My pet peeve every year is that R2 Hint Widget that is displayed all the time on batter screen( next to the pitcher) and is totally useless once you played a couple of games and you know what R2 is for. I know we can turn it off completely, but when you want to access to that feature it’s a bit annoying.

Other than, a little deception on the number of features this year on gameplay but what they have implemented look solid to me. I love Chris Gill BTW…..very smart guy with high focus on realistic gameplay.

I think they do these on fast play.

Nice to see the new stuff in action. Noting groundbreaking, but these look like nice additions.

Also nice:
- GOAT Difficulty confirmed for pitching - I figured it was but saw a lot of people speculating that it was just for hitting since they didn't mention pitching in the video Tuesday
- They confirmed SW in the pitch selection is a Sweeper, so nice to see that added as a pitch option since so many guys use it nowadays
