    An artist with too much time provides feedback...

    I'm a game and graphics designer for a large game and toy company, and have had too much time lately to obsess about the graphics/presentation/etc of my favorite baseball video game.

    So, while this is a work in progress, I wanted to post what I've compiled so far....its mostly for my own amusement, so I can get the ideas down and out of my head, and POSSIBLY for some feedback to the great artists at SCEA.

    The PDF is attached below, and showing a couple quick screengrabs of some of what I have been thinking/creating. The icons indicate Graphics, Presentation, and Crowd notes.

    As said, this is a WIP, so I will post updates as they come.

    If you dont look through it, the prevailing theme is bringing more personality, more "moments" and highlighting the already amazing animations they have in the game (some of which you almost never see)

    thanks

    This looks amazing. Fantastic work. I really hope SCEA sees this.

          Tremendous job!

          I love that graphic showing the recent trend and % of pitches by Syndergaard.

          It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

                  I like these, especially the dirt and pitcher tendencies.

                  About the only thing you can learn before facing a pitcher is what pitches they throw. It would be nice to see those pitch percentage graphics before the game starts at the very least.

                  It's only started to bug me in the last couple of years, but you're right about the dirt. I remember when I first discovered that MLB 2005 had one thing over MVP, grass stains on the uniform. Since then, dirt on the uniform hasn't really progressed. It still looks very much the same as it did back then.

                    These look great. Very cool.

                    Now that MLBtS is tracking more stats, it'd be amazing to have those deployed in-game.

                          Wow seriously great stuff!
                          SCEA is a great developement team but they could definitely use some fresh air in the presentation department.

                              Thanks guys, really appreciate the feedback on the feedback.

                              It would be great if the team took a browse, but I can almost guarantee that they have already thought of all these things....just comes down to time!

                              Will continue to post pages as they come...
