    Re: MLB The Show 16 Twitch Stream - Graphics Improvements & Dev. Tournament Finals

    People just need to be grateful that they actually get a great baseball game every year. Just think about all those poor Xbox users who are baseball fans that haven't had a great baseball game since mvp 2005 which was over a decade ago or even have a baseball game at all anymore. I made the switch last year to PlayStation because of the show. I'm buying the show 16 because of all the graphical enhancements they made. Remember they haven't even touched the full power graphically with the PS4 yet so be patient they will get there.

Such as the picture frames in a suite booth, or the nice reflections on lamps in certain areas. As this all looks really cool...when do we ever see this besides when they do fly cam streams like this?

      yes, this is a major weakness of the SCEA team. I will not argue; I am just stating how I feel. This is the only game I play, so I am very satisfied.

Then, they didn't even bring it up in the stream. Their big things are new modes!
        Yeah, they scrapped them. Seems logical.

            Some interesting things in this one, but also a bit frustrating to watch because they had some major difficulties synching up side-by-side comparisons. The guy controlling the MLB 15 picture was basically always out of sync with the guy controlling the MLB 16 picture so we rarely got to see the same surface under the same conditions at the same time. It was actually pretty hard to see what they were trying to show us aside from the fixation on padded wall textures and the rock formation in Anaheim (which is sort of the poster boy for PBR).

            If you are a graphics nut and like people dropping "specularity" and "foot candles" and "single shaders" you'll like this stream. Also, if you ever wondered what this game would look like with a bunch of T-1000 liquid metal players playing, this is for you.

              That metallic setup was crazy!
              Shadows look so much smoother and real. Interesting stream. They mentioned these are just the first steps in PBR land. Super excited for this years game but also for what they will bring next year!

                That would really really suck if they did. It was announced and listed. Please say it ain't so Joe. I was looking forward using he OS all time roster set with them.

                  Ramone mentioned the classic stadiums in the stream. He said they redid them this year. He also mentioned that the reason they don't have specific spring training stadiums is due to licensing. They did not spend much time discussing classic stadiums but he did mention them. They are in as advertised but we did not see any shots of them.

                    I'm pretty sure Slab was being sarcastic. Believe they played in one of the classic parks (polo grounds, I believe) in one of the videos/streams from the past weeks.

                        I tried asking some questions during the stream but there were way too many questions and mine got buried somewhere in there.

                        Does anyone know if:

                        1. Framerate will remain as smooth as it looks in the streams? If yes, do loading screens take longer than last year because of it? I wouldn't mind waiting 30 secs longer for better framerate.

                        2. Do flag shadows move on the field? Last year they were static. No biggie, just curious.

                        3. Did Wilmer Flores, Juan Lagares and Noah Syndergaard get new facescans this spring? They stilll seem to have their old generic caps. I know they'd be in next year's game but it'd be something to look forward to.

                          Noah wasn't in last years game, he was a CAP. Lagares has a generic face again as does Todd Frazier

                            I understand the sarcasm but when they promote the thread as classic stadium deep dive and never even mention classic stadiums I understand why some people are nervous.

                            My guess is either the devs who work on stadiums weren't available or they are still working on classic stadiums.

                            As Ramone said on the video the game is finished, disc being pressed and shipped but I'm pretty sure the last time they had classic stadiums they weren't on the disc. They were a download. If classic stadiums are again a download on the release date of 3/29 they could still be polishing the product which would explain why they didn't show them.

                            I'm not being critical because SCEA and Ramone do a great job of promoting the game but it wouldn't have hurt to at least mention classic stadiums since the stream was promoted as classic stadium deep dive.

                              I wouldn't worry about the classic stadiums not being in the game or the lack of info on them from yesterday. They even answered some questions about them in yesterday's stream. And if you notice the last thing mentioned on the blog and twitch stream schedule, it says "schedule is tentative and subject to change."

                                I wonder this as well.
                                I noticed it particular in AT&T Park where all the small flags above infield upperdeck are moving in the wind but static in the shadows on the field.

                                Indeed no biggie but would be nice.
