Did anybody else notice the first baseman not digging the ball successfully on that ground ball? Am I correct in the show 16 the 1B always dug the ball? If so it's a positive development.

Pitching deliveries look so much better this year, way less robotic and effortless.

SOOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER! And finally some D'Backs footage.

I love that they recaptured Greinke's delivery.

Why are the Rockies helmets purple? Pretty sure they were black last season.

@ 0:51, nice example of a new line drive style from the new ball physics, and immediately followed up by nice example of the new catch -> throw transition branches/animations.

I probably won't touch retro mode but I will definitely try out that new camera angle when fielding.

The strides in this years batting stances look better with what appears to be a couple of new strides.

I'm not sure about other modes but in manage mode I use press box view with high fielding camera. Pitcher/batter view is higher but fielding view in the video looks similar to high camera.

This mode is going to be so awesome. Usually I did these kind things gimmicky, but it really is old school games with insane graphics and physics. Seems very fun.

One thing i Did notice: why does the ball coming out of Greinke's hand look like a super bright white softball compared to when Gray is pitching? Does it have to do with difficulty level maybe?
