Player Faces Have Greatly Improved in MLB The Show 17 (Polygon)

[Jolly Roger]

As the hours have passed since I first saw this, I'm becoming unsettled. I don't think those are virtual renders of Clayton Kershaw and Jose Altuve. That is Clayton Kershaw and Jose Altuve. I think they've kidnapped them and trapped them in the game, like Tron or something. This is sinister...

If thats the case I hope Freddie Freeman Julio Teheran and Ender Inciarte are left untouched.
Theys all we got.

Glad to see another fan of Inciarte! Huge fan of him as well!

I hope they can fix the equipment colors too. It sucks with the bats. I would like to get McCutchen's bat on there with that real nice super dark maroon glossy finish but it has been impossible each year because the colors and finishes are so limited. The developers really overlook some very simple things sometimes. I wasn't even going to buy the game after how bad 16 was. I thought 2016 was like old 2k baseball. You can see why after seeing these new facial improvement pictures. Wow the 2016 graphics sucked. But after seeing this I'll be getting 17.

Big improvement starting to look more how it should look. Normally you only see a big graphic jump from one year to the next when new systems come out. So like first year of a sports game on ps4 compared to the year before when it was on ps3 or first ps3 game after going from ps2 to ps3. Before this year the games graphics where way behind NBA 2k, NHL and even behind madden. These look really good though. Starting to look photo realistic like NBA and NHL do. Hopefully bodies can improve next year. I was not expecting to see this kind of jump this year.
