Re: MLB The Show 17 Video - Gameplay Improvements & Animations Expansion

I think the new ball spin will be fantastic but I suspect the 20th time a ball curves just foul with runners on base there might be some debate on the topic.

Well I would hope the ball is going to react just like real life now.

So whether its's 20 times or 50 times if it is 99% like real life then why would anyone complain?

As I said I think it will be fantastic but I've been on this forum long enough to have seen people complain when things don't go their way.

At 27 seconds you can get a good view of a certain logo on the left field wall that may or may not give away something about presentation....

The MLB Network logo was in 16 as well. This isn't new.

1:46 mark Left Center Field wall logo at Petco.

Old player models from 2010 have been an eyesore for literally years.

With respect to your point, player models would most certainly have to included in even the earliest of builds -especially marketing pieces like this one.

They're not going to hold those back like the high-render art elements like grass etc for later reveal.

Actually quite the contrary, graphics are almost always the last piece in any development cycle, especially in a situation where the developers are pressed for time, because:

- graphical changes require the least amount of bug/crash testing and
- you can't actually run a demo build until the core changes (mechanics, internal processes, animation triggers) are finished... that means you wouldn't even be able to produce a trailer until you get that stuff done first

It's like building a house. You wouldn't paint the walls or the furniture, put in molding and floor-tiles, or any of that cosmetic stuff, until the building is structurally sound and functional. Beams and columns, electrical outlays, floorboards and sheetrock all have to be done before you can worry about cosmetics.

Regarding the new Humanity AI--my understanding is it forces the AI to make mistakes (be "human")--I am thinking of so many threads being started as people vent about it happening to them at inopportune times....

Might be smart to install that feature with an on/off switch. I would use it.

We definitely checked the wall distances again this year...

The only ones I knew to be obviously wrong for sure was CF at AT&T Park which said 382 FT in '16...should be 399 FT. Also, Busch stadium was 336 FT to dead center in '16 and should be 400 FT.

I mean obviously i have no time for single base hits.....do you think i am some sort of peasant?!?! lol

I guess theres just some baseball lingo we don't use in Chicago...??...ive always heard what you guys are discribing as "texas leaguers" as "duck snorts"...

Listening to Hawk Harrelson, I see...

Sometimes those duck snorts can stretch into Texas leaguers, or even cans of corn. A bit farther and you can put it on the board, yes. But when the good guys grab some bench....[total silence for 8 minutes]...he gone. Mercy.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Video - Gameplay Improvements &amp; Animations Expansion

not sure if it was mentioned, but it looks like the bullpens have been moved, no signs of the mounds or the pitchers sitting along the wall

I heard they are going to have more removable seats there. I dont think the wall is going to almost 90 degree twice where the bullpen used to be

At 2:14 Progressive Field logo on backstop wall is missing behind the head of Lindor.

I'm going to use duck snort as much as I can this season now.

I would love to hear this get into the commentary.

"Sale with the pitch...and Kris Bryant with the swing...oh, looks like Bogaerts or Jackie Bradley can't get there...and it falls in! Wow, what a duck snort that was."

Hopefully they added more between inning city shots or other types of cutscenes.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Video - Gameplay Improvements &amp; Animations Expansion

Many dimensions were wrong or missing O.co was missing the 330FT down right field line Nationals park was 377FT down line when it should've been 336FT also Anaheim was missing 347FT down left field line PNC park should be 379FT in left center not 325FT. Camden yards was missing the 373FT to right center also the line on top of the fence at Citi field should be orange not yellow and Safeco field the left field corner wall is straight across at 331FT and not angled like it was when they moved that little manuel scoreboard. Kauffman stadium is missing the 387FT dimensions in yellow in the gaps. That's all I can think of at the top of my head but I'm a bit of a stadium freak and I know what they all look like!!!

Gosh, I read that whole quote in his voice and just cringed. Truly disgusting and annoying!!!....but I basically use the same baseball vocabulary he does. Wow. I am so ashamed
