I am highly impressed with what I have seen and read here. It has been awhile since I have been this excited about a baseball game release last couple of years they just kinda looked the same as far as graphics go with a little here & there improvements. I half to say this looks like a completely different game. Man the detail on Rizzo looks amazing. The 49 faces compared to the ugly 17 is huge and the new slider adjustments for creating players is another plus.

They messed up on Scherzer, once again it looks like he has two different color eyes. Must be the style guide. Damn you SCEA!

looks right to me

What's up with max eyes?

He has two different colored eyes. Rare genetics thing.

Wow, that really does look like heterochromia. And a google search indicates that, yes, he indeed has it.

The team is doing different body modeling for the game to represent more body types. This includes a new husky body type and sliders for hips, glutes, shoulders, and spine length in the player creator.

This I think will go a long way towards fixing the issues a lot of people have with the player models.

Also I'm very curious what the PS4 Pro will bring. Doubt it'll be something as big as better cloth physics (but I can hope). However if it's simply a constant 60fps across all gameplay and cutscenes, that would be enough for me to upgrade.

As for DD, looks like I will not be playing much DD this year. I was hoping for a better offline way to play, but it looks like that ain't happening. Was hoping "Seasons" were going to be that, but it's for online play against other humans. The exact thing that has turned me away from the mode over the last year.

Curious if the mixing of players animations includes pitchers as well, meaning we can use Scherzer's windup delivery and then use Britton's stretch delivery?

The improvements to the graphics and player creation have me very excited for this years game. 49 different face options should go a long way in making created players actually look and feel different. Especially with the added hair and beard options and body sliders. Created players might actually look drastically different from each other this year.

The only problem i can see is for carryover saves, how it'll effect the created prospects that already exist in 16', and how that'll impact OSFM also.

Uniform detail improving is huge, i hope the slider for sleeve length refers to jersey sleeves and undershirt sleeves and compression sleeves, so we can finally replicate 4/5 length sleeves like Bryce Harper, Matt Kemp, Anthony Rizzo, Marcus Stroman and Yoan Moncada wear (those are just players off the top of my head).

Spoiler

See how the sleeves aren't all the way down to the batting gloves, but not nearly as high as the current 3/4 sleeve option they have in the game.

Hopefully part of uniform improvements is the option to wear unbuttoned jerseys as well.

The face skin textures look so much better too, really impressive stuff so far, hopefully the body sliders are used for real players as well and not just for player creation.

LOL, Game Informer blowing the lid off yet again. This is all fantastic news but I seriously wonder if SDS wanted all of this out there so soon.

I'm sure they were sitting on it until the time hit where they were able to release the information to the public. They probably got an exclusive with Russell and had a NDA that expired today so they could be the first to get this information to the public. Hence how they have that exclusive screenshot of the comparison faces.
