It looks so unnatural and as if it's a freely hanging on the wrist joint with the fingers curled under and the index finger slightly bent.. for goodness sake, change the dang player models already.

Serious question here.. What specifically do you want to be changed about the player models?

Trailer did not wow me. Models look okay IDK. It all looks very much the same. We'll have to see how it looks in person.

To be honest even I am getting tired of looking at the grass lol. I mean it looks better, but still retains way too much of that terrible shading they have been using for like a decade lol. Why do they insist on the game looking this way? That black shading to the pale grass just does not look right to me at all, and the colors are still way off.

I don't know what to think. This game needs a big overhaul in too many areas. That trailer was all yay homeruns and stuff.

I don't exactly know. There's something about either the models or animations of the models that still looks pasted together and not very natural, and they seem to not be fundamentally different than they were several years ago. It's hard to describe really but it's a feeling I've gotten since I started playing on PS4. It's like I'm playing a PS3 game that's prettier or something.

You don’t care where I sent this from

It's definitely the animations. You are spot on that they are not natural and pasted. Its been that way since the first game on PS3 with no improvement so I doubt it will ever change until there is a changing of the guard.

Like there's no weight to the animations?

What does that phrase even mean? They're animations created from real people performing the movements in real life (mocap). How do they not have weight?

Trying to understand what some folks find fault in year in and year out that I don't.

They just done move right, especially at the plate. A great example of how off batter movements are in this video is Goldy, Peralta and Didi. If you watch them in game vs in real life the load and strides arent even close. Goldy has a leg lift in the show, where did they even come up with that since hes never had one. If the guy in the mo-cap suit cant imitate players motions any better than we have gotten over the last 10 years then they need someone new.

I think they are referring to momentum. Certain throws give the appearance that it is not a factor even though momentum is a factor in the equation.
