Really hate the new pitching meter look.

I do love that they added vs r/l avg against for the pitcher introductions.

11 uniform sets was the best thing about the video. Thanks for adding more uniform sets SCEA!!

I'm thinking franchise got a good amount of love this year, I am excited for monthly rewards.

1) These improvements are nice. Hearing about the hit variety has yet to get old.

2) I feel like the meaning of "The Little Things" has been lost here.

I hope the Griffey Jr. commentary can be turned offf.

Improved AI Logic for Pitcher substitutions!

That could be big!

Hopefully this fixes some of the dumb pitching moves by the CPU managers. Like for example when the starting pitcher is absolutely dominating you and shutting you out with only giving up like 1 or 2 hits and under 70 pitches thrown in like the 6th inning and they pull him after giving up just 1 hit!

Or another example where they pull their lefty for a righty when facing a left handed bat or vice versa.

Or one more example where the CPU leaves the stating pitcher in with over 100 pitches already thrown with a lead of like 9 to 2 in the 9th inning!

If all these types of things will be greatly improved I will be so happy!

And actually for 17 I hope each team managers manages the game differently!

Totally agree and everytime I look at it I keep thinking maybe it's not finished yet? Anyway MLB The Show 16 Pitching Meter looks much better.
