Yeah the pic on the right doesn't look like him at all, the one on the left does.

I'm curious if there is limitations on the player models to where they have to alter the shape or features of the player head scan, I mean the picture doesn't totally not look like Posey but there are things that are off about it.

Yeah, that doesn't look too much like Posey. But it looks like an older version, so in all probability, he looks much better now. As long as the faces look as good as they did before, but more life like (due to the power of the PS4) then I'll be excited for this years game (graphics rise). But if they don't look substantially better in a few years, then I'd be disappointed.

Showtime button would be nice, but only in that it would add more flamboyant animations to the fielding. I think I'd rather that these animations only express themselves when a player has high fielding ratings, but have them trigger automatically when the situation calls for it. If its another button I feel like many players may not get to use/see those animations.

Would be even better if you could assign them by player similar to the stance options. Like mentioned about you wouldn't want someone like Uggla to have the ability to do these so having a way to disable them in the editor would be awesome.

I think the screenshot on the far right is from the PS3 version.

It would be interesting if implemented correctly. Currently, the "bare hand" double play animation occurs far too frequently. Second basemen rarely barehand the throw to turn a double play which I see about once per game.

I was wondering that too.

Yeah, I posted how I didn't like this last year and got shut down by Ramone. Not sure why it got tossed asside since I feel its a completely valid point/complaint and looks awful with how frequent it happens if you ask me. Its a rare occurance in the MLB, yet it happens constantly in The Show.
