You ever think they aren't putting it on full display until the presentation stream? Why would they do it last and have it out on display on the very first stream?

Hey! I won a 10-pack bundle on the stream.

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 wondered how long it would take someone here to say that.

Hit variety and physics were the best thing to come out of that stream for me. Was hoping they'd be able to show the Humanity AI in action, but that didn't really happen.
I actually liked the little slo-mo effect on close plays for stolen bases, but I'm sure there are more than a few around here wondering if that effect can be turned off.

ball physics is a game elevator. That was pure sweetness watching some of those hits hook and slice so realistically. They did mention the physics are still being worked on, some hit types still not behaving realistically.
They also mentioned the catcher throw meter is tied to the normal throw meter settings.

IMO, he does have a point. The game rarely looks drastically different than the streams when it comes out. I remember one year they "cracked the lighting code" right before the game went gold, and it still didn't necessarily blow people away.
I'm a gameplay guy, and I've been buying the show every year for the past decade, but it does bother me when people jump on anyone critiquing the graphics of the game (not just singling you out btw).
As far as gameplay goes, love the new spin on the ball..and some of those throwing animations looked fluid. Balls down the line are still a problem, most balls hit right down the line in real life are easily a stand up double. Looks like they're still a bang bang play this year.
More hit variety is always a good thing, but I actually do agree with the people harping on little graphical improvement. It's not the first year on PS4 anymore, I think they have a valid point. Here's to hoping the new grass tech looks great.

It will be a major challenge to get it perfect but I'm glad they changed it. It will add a ton of variety to the game and look less scripted. One thing the dev said - I can't remember his name - the ball will react differently depending on the height and handedness of the batter even on the same hit.

For some of us, graphics are merely icing on the cake.
The meat and potato is in the gameplay which brings us back and again.

I'm sure I'll get slammed for being negative but I think I got more out of the video vlog than this stream. It's kind of like these guys are just goofing around instead of detailing anything. What I did get out of it is that the retro mode got boring very quickly. I played all the 8 bit games years ago and although I did enjoy them at the time that time has long passed. The new spin on the ball coming off the bat is fantastic and the new animations look really good also. I think they probably wish they hadn't shown the bunting as it still has issues. I won't comment on the graphics until I see more..
lol
