But the only way to get them 100% perfect is to get all 1200 players in studio to mo-cap and I cant imagine that it would be just that easy, as if it were easy at all. As for guys like Cano, YES his stance, swing, walk, etc should be 100% but it will never be unless he comes in and does it himself. Otherwise it will always be impersonated by the over-animated BSG! <-- Not his biggest fan!

That's not what I was implying. I'm simply saying that when they get the stances wrong, which is often, it is upsetting no matter how one wants to justify it. Its not like the stances are slightly off, its big things some times. Usually you can see what they were going for, but then its hard to understand why it looks so off. Its something I've come to live with because its just one part of The Show that just seems to be off each year. Which is why I'm always so eager to see the new ones every year. I hope they get them right, but I don't expect them to. Which shouldn't be the case for a game like this, I should expect them to get it spot on each year due. But in the end its still upsetting to see.

Its sometimes baffling why they chose to put work into some player's stances yet don't with others. And yes, the BSG is terrible. Its not the basic stance that confuses me though, its the smaller things about the stance. For instance in Starlin Castro's new stance, why does he constantly wave the bat? He doesn't do that in real life. I can understand getting the openness of his stance, of his front toe, but the bat waving had to be mocapped or animated. Why? Someone thought that was accurate at some point. Maybe they should look at either their system for the stances or maybe the devs working on them and see if something needs to be addressed.
