Ugh, that has been in the game for a long time. As have most of these "little things". Almost so much that I hardly bother to keep-up with this thread.

I am glad they don't take most of it out, but was expecting way more stuff with the jump to next gen last year. I must say though, the dropping the glove got old fast. How many pitchers drop their gloves coming into a game? In this game it is about 1/3 of the time. At least give us so new camera angles for these cut scenes!

Its bound to have been mentioned but ill post it as it is a great addition imo. Pitchers punching the air and celebrating in a smooth animation when you get that key strike out - its like they let out the emotion you do, in the game for you

First year playing the game with head phones and WOW. I never noticed how many crowd jeers you get when you're the visiting team haha. I don't know how the pros do it.

I know it's not a "little thing", but the lighting and the stadiums just blow me away. I mean Holy hell, they are literally a thing of beauty.

The jerseys look AMAZING, and the improved skin tones really look great in the new lighting. It's really mind blowing how great everything looks.

He was hopping off the field on his own & keeping pressure off the leg.

I just wish this was consistent. I've had times where this happens but I've had just as many instances where completely ridiculous situations happen. Eg. Dickey got absolutely drilled with a line drive square in his face and he still darted across the field picked up the ball and easily threw the runner out. Didn't have to come out of the game or anything.
Funny thing happened 3 games later. Lazy fly ball to left field and Michael Saunders settled under it. Ball went right by his waiting glove and bonked him on the top of the head. Out 6 weeks with a concussion.

The Jays did this to Devon Travis IRL for his first career homerun on opening day

Just hit a monster flyball to the warning track and a giant puff of dirt exploded off the ground that I could see from homeplate(playing HRD)...
It just put a huge smile on my face, love these little things!

Playing today's game on my Braves' franchise & it pops up mentioning Hammerin' Hank breaking the home run record against Al Downing.
