Someone wanna explain what a 'Texas Leaguer' is? Ive never heard that in reference to a batted ball....

It's a weak fly ball that is hit between fielders...so a short pop-up just beyond the infield that is too far for the IFs to reach but too short for the OFs to reach.

a pop fly that falls to the ground between the infield and the outfield and results in a base hit.

The frame rate looked very much improved. Either they got it optimized on PS4, or it's running on PS4 Pro.

Either way, much smoother.

I was thinking this too.

Good to see the bullpens not on the field anymore at Wrigley BUT whats up with the huge massive stadium lights behind the left field and right field foul poles. Those don't exist at all????

60fps on Pro would likely sell me on a new console. Just sayin'.

I wondered about those too. Back when the renovations were beginning (MLB 14), they were going to be in the game along with the new jumbotrons, but SDS had to take them out before release day. That's to say, they took the jumbotrons out, but not the stadium lights.

They were originally part of the plan along with the bullpens, but I don't know if ownership abandoned that idea or not. Maybe they'll be in 2018.

Always look forward to gameplay improvements. I think the humanity AI will create some real nice moments. I wander if we'll be able to pick throw back caps to avoid having the new logo on the side. Not crazy about that.

Looking good!. It looks like a lot work went into this year's game. The end of March can't get here soon enough!.

Very exciting new video for the things they showcased! I'm going to reserve judgment for things they have yet to show off like player models and such, because so many different things can happen between then and now. I'll hold onto hope for other things though, like they didn't show any nighttime games so perhaps it's something they're working on.

Most impressive things were the ball physics changes and Heyward's throws after he caught. They've had pretty lackluster outfield animations for a long time, but these actually looked like an outfielder. Very awesome!

I scrolled down your post looking for:

"............ cuz all I hit are DINGERS BABY!!!"


But alas, it seems you genuinely were uncertain, so I'm just glad you got answered.

Very excited about the physics, though part of me is wondering why they had the "physics based on a wall" system for so long, when they were so obviously flawed.

But I'll focus on the positives/future. This trailer alone makes this game a must-buy for me. These are the gameplay improvements I've been waiting for. I can't wait to pre-order it already. The new physics and revamped throws (both fielder and catcher) are HUGE.

When I watched this today I was like





I'm not giving up hope on additional player/uniform changes later in the roll-out; they might be keeping some things under wraps for a more relevant vlog.

Been excited for 17' since the first trailer hit. Now, I'm over the moon. MVP edition already ordered a month ago. I'm so ready.

Really liked what I saw in the video. Can't wait for the stream on Thursday.

Someone that I was in a franchise with last year said there was a thread here but it was deleted.

I read somewhere that they took online franchise out. Can anyone confirm this? That's a dealbreaker for me if true.

oh man that would really suck!!!!
