Nice job as always, Millennium.

Good stuff, thanks

Looks fantastic. I can't be the first to notice this, and I wonder if it's just the result of these shots being beta tests, but Cleveland's style guide needs updating. They wear red sleeves and socks with the home whites. The game has them still wearing blue, which hasn't been the case since 2015.

Those animations of Heyward fielding and throwing in right field look fantastic! Some good improvements so far.

I mentioned this in the other thread but it is already buried. I cant tell if it is just my eyes or if its just my imagination, but if you look at 3:55( of the original video) it looks like they fixed the pitchers hand after the pitch. Doesn't it look like his pinky finger is curled?

Someone from there should organize a statistical comp for batting/slugging statistics with the old ball physics vs this significantly improved looking system. My first impression is that they should come down a little bit with the new system. Since everything is based on the contact zones of a bat, we should expect some new net results though, no matter what. There still are gameplay factors that need to be included but still a default overview would be interesting.

These are some of the most gameplay enhancements the series has gotten, finally catching up to where it should be here in 2017.

One thing Russell mentioned which a lot of people seemed to have missed was temperature is now a factor along with things like altitude in determining ball flight.

Maybe in the deep dive they will expand on this but I suspect in hot weather the ball will travel farther.

I was swamped at work today and haven't had a lot of time to look at the VLOG, but I have got to say, those animations look awesome to me. Man I can't wait for March 28 to get here.

Are the Indians still using the Chief Wahoo hat in 2017?

In the future, maybe they could add humidity, marine layer, and other seasonal or daily weather effects -- in addition to rain outs and double headers, of course.

I only hope that the Red Sox dance is specific to the Red Sox, so I can swap out OF (like if I don't want to use Benintendi or JBJ, but manage to acquire a big bat to fill the corner spot) and still see the animation.

Do....they actually do that dance? I just assumed that was one of those crazy "idle game" scenes where it cuts to the players/umpires doing ridiculous stuff.
