Ramone teased PBR on Twitter.



Here's a comparison shot from 15.

In rewatching the stream...again. I am seeing somethings that are getting me a little excited. I don't play RTTS but there are some tweaks that intrigue me.

One question if it can be answered:

Are running styles tied into ratings or just a preset for each player? (Are they dynamic?)

For example if I draft a guy who is 6-3 220 and has average speed and starts out as average but then he progresses into a base stealing threat: will he go from average animation to athletic?

Running styles are purely cosmetic

Russell was the in game stat overlay presentations greatly improved?

I really was hoping for a new Home Run stat overlay popup. More like what you see on a real baseball broadcast. And also can you please add to or replace the AVG on the in between inning batter due up overlays with 2 for 4 type stat under each of the 3 batters? Been asking for this for years and it was actually in MLB 09 The Show I think.I always wondered why it was replaced with AVG instead.

Am I just wasting my time hoping for these small improvements to the stat overlay presentations?

Presentation stream is on the 25 and yes it's way to late for feature requests.

I am no way 100% sure but I think how they said Ortiz runs like a bigger guy even tho some of the bigger guys can get moving decently once they get going. So i think you can choose which running style you want for the player (RTTS) and its not tied to ratings. MLB players styles probably can't be changed but any CAP im sure can.

EDIT : Ramone already answered

Russell... Could you answer these questions?

Have the brands already in the game been added to?... Specifically Marucci and Mizuno, meaning Marucci batting gloves and Mizuno batting & fielding gloves.

Also... Really hoping we're able to notice the different between fielding glove sizes, the OF gloves should be bigger... In 15 all the gloves are the same size.

And can we edit cap brims this year?

One question, Is player equipment choices better for generated players? Basically players wearing batting gloves more often than not, no more multi colored equipment, no more heavy pine tar on the majority of players, etc.

I didn't get a big enough sample size during the stream.

Thanks for the replay Russell I really appreciate that.

I will definitely tune in to the Presentation stream on the 25th and hopefully there will be some nice surprises in store

Russell, have most minor league logos/uniforms been updated? Hopefully we're not dealing with last years Logos/Uniforms?...

Would be nice to have that Showtime pitching interface inputted into regular gameplay and not just Showtime moments.

um no offense to the great team in SD, but with two months left this should be polish time shouldn't it? I mean we can all expect this game as with fifteen to me multiple patched once put out on March 29th.

when they mentioned that this was an extremely buggy build with two months to go i shook me head.. i was like really guys... come on.... Night games not even ready to be shown right now... wow... this worries me... how many patches will this game need once released to fix all the issues that will come with it...

hopefully by the time we get to the franchise news feeds most of the issues will be fixed and ready to go

I'm 100% sure that they're right on schedule with where they need to be.

Presentation has remained largely unchanged the last few years, hopefully this year is different, in terms of overlays, cutaways, in game camera cuts, etc. But i wouldn't get my hopes up, based on what we've seen so far.

The first few years on next gen, they've spent a lot of time on stadiums and lighting, and have done an extremely good job on those two areas, but hopefully going forward, as in next year, the focus switches to player models and presentation.

Because people are always going to make statements like this game looks like an "updated ps3 version" or something along those lines, until the player models and presentation are updated.

Extremely happy that the players will now be wearing their teams uniform in the edit player screen. This will make editing equipment so much easier, as well as give the player screens a much better look overall.

Curious to see if the RTTS difficulty "modifier" mechanism is still in place, where the perceived difficulty changes based on what level in the organization your player is playing in (i.e. all-star setting, you'd be playing on veteran in AA and Hall of Fame in the MLB). Never really understood the reasoning for it, and a lot of people don't even know it's there.

This was the best news of the stream for me, as I don't play RTTS at all. This will make editing teams like the Indians, and Braves. Who I could never remember which was TC1 and TC2 so much easier.
