- Yasmany Thomas with the new "husky" body type (or whatever they called it) it would appear. Or at least his body was tuned to be a little thicker than normal.

- Nice comments from Ramone regarding speeding up the arm whip in the pitching animations (I believe he said in the new ones they recaptured at least).

-Again, love seeing the new ball physics. That double in Right Center gap actually sliced off the bat of a Jake Lamb, a left hander. Truly looked like he got inside that pitch with his hands and kept the bad head back to create that spin. Very nice.

- Faces are looking pretty darn good, especially Kipnis and Lindor...

Let's hope so then.

The arm speed of the pitchers looks really well done.

Russell says 6 Months down the line you will still see some new hit types and new animations!

These new ball physics are a dream come true!!!
Those types of statements are always tricky as we saw with No Man's Sky.

That being said, I'm so pumped for this game.

Great stuff.

One thing i didn't like very much in all the videos i've seen so far is the throw power and accuracy of the outfielders. It seems a little bit overpowered, to be honest.

Just talked about this in another thread I created. It was in reference to video I saw of Retro Mode, but same gameplay.

My beef was more the decision making of the OF, but it seems like the arm strength being too strong is the real problem.

Either way, game looks awesome and ball physics are better than I expected....looking really good.
