If all the animations are what's holding them back from redoing the player models, they should have stopped adding new animations years ago. It's a strange excuse.

100% disagree. The player models and faces are the exact same as the PS3. They may have been retextured or whatever when they came over to the PS4 but the model is identical. Look at it.... Keep everything the same over the next year, but please please please please PLEASE SCEA add New Balance gear and redo the player models. PLEASE. That is all I ask for. You already brought back SOTS so I know you care what your fans think. Please update the player models. They are seriously lacking compared to other features into The Show

I think u need to look at ps3 vs ps4 images a little closer.....game is beautiful

Im sure player models will be discussed as a major addition for 17 in their pre production meetings. but now that they have closed roofs done in 16 and during this stream they said it took a long time to add closed roofs, now they might look to move resources around so maybe they might look into player models as the major addition to the show 17.

Different resources, but yeah, they've been aware of player models - even before this year.

One thing that is nice is the glossy will make the game pop more. The cleats looked really good. And the stone looked really real.

Well you can have your opinion, but the vast majority of people who play the game and aren't visually impaired will disagree with you.

Mlb 14 looked 100% the same as ps3 but with better lighting. MLB 15 stadiums looked much better but player faces and models are like ps3 still and I don't think a vast majority disagree with me considering so many people talk about the player models. If people really disagreed with me so much you wouldn't have so many people complain about the player models like you see on here.

Have been playing 15 a lot this week and you can really tell that the difference with 16 is huge.
Can’t wait to see the night lighting.
So much more animations in 16, somehow it feels there’s more urgency to them this time which is a good thing.
Game also looks very fluid.

The PBR is really amazing, it brings the stadiums alive so much more.
Of course, I understand and agree with people that say they don’t need 100% accurate phones in the dugouts and prefer PBR to be applied in area’s which are visible during gameplay.
On the other hand, they explained during the streams that they have only just scratched the surface of this.
I’m sure in the years to come we will all be amazed at the results of this (it looks amazing in GTA V for example) and I’m happy to give them all the time in the world (ok, maybe not all).

For me it’s simple : I pay 60 bucks for a game that I play for a year. The game is always an improvement on the previous edition and never just a roster upgrade.
It’s a great investment. 16 with the PBR, animations, sounds of the show and new modes will keep me going until 17 is there.
By the way : I don’t care much about the new modes but it’s good to see that they keep adding modes without taking stuff away (like NHL 15)

And yes, I also want new player models, more PBR, better commentary (only real weak point in my opinion) like a lot of people here. But I’m confident they are working on this and it will come if we give them time.

I have never seen any company in touch with their fan base as much as SDS is doing.
The streams, the way they react on this forum, it’s great. It’s also great how this forum is helping them making the game better.

So I will buy 16 and enjoy it for what it is, knowing that 17 will be even better.
Now if only I could find it in the European playstore……

Yeah i have a US account as well for years, but sofar also bought a disc copy at Nedgame.
This year Nedgame's release is slow (01/04) and the price is € 65,- for the standard edition.


In the meantime the game is now in the Dutch ps store : € 49,99 for the standard edition.
Will go digital this year for the 1st time.

None of this matters if the Pirates black uniforms are still gray. How can an entire stadium look perfect, but the most important part, the players and their uniforms are nowhere near the right color? How hard is it to make something black?

I guess my tv settings are messed up, the Pirates uni's are black on my tv.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Video - Graphical Improvements (GameStop)

I think I'd rather see them overhaul the jerseys over the player models. If they could add a few new body types that would be plenty for me to be honest. The "fat" model especially needs to be looked at. I feel though that if the jerseys were a bit more natural looking many people wouldn't complain about the player models as much. Watching the streams the open-tube sleeves have begun to wear thin on me I must admit.

edit: here's a comparison of the "fat" body type in the game. I feel like it has to go and be replaced with something different next year, or only assign it to a very few players. I don't really have an issue with the normal/thin and buff body types. I'd rather players like Schwarber get the buff one as it looks a lot more like how the do in real life. The fat body type looks terrible IMO on most players.

Yes, the only players to have the "fat" body type are Panda, Colon, Joba, maybe Uribe...can't really think of too many.

Could you post a pic?

On my TV they are grey too and it's perfectly calibrated for TV and other games.
