Made it much more compact and looked more accurate to what you'd see on TV these days. In the Dodgers/Astros game, the balls/strikes/pitch count were to the right of the teams/score. Made it much longer and didn't seem as true to what you'd see on TV these days.

Hhhhhmmmmmmmmm

Does anyone know if you can edit player's size inside the game? I'd like to cut back on Schwarber's gut a tad. He looks like he weighs about 350 in his AB.

Good eye. I didn't notice this, but it would be pretty nice attention to detail if they had the score bug tailored to the specific broadcast network that carries a particular home game. That's probably asking too much though.

Yea, I hate when the "buff" player models look fat.

Also LOL at Ramone calling in to tell them what they couldn't show on the stream! Haha. We know who 'wears the pants' in that dev studio.

Not much you can do with the dull matt v voice. Its been time for a change. They need a better lead guy like gary thorne to give the game a more life like presentation.

Did you not hear in the last 2 streams that they had the announcer audio cut out all together. Did you not hear that the game is still being developed and still a work in progress?

After watching the last couple of streams and seeing various improvements that are coming, I think SCEA deserves the benefit of the doubt they have made improvements.

As a fellow software developer, I have tons of respect for the sound guys at Sony San Diego. Having to write your own API's and such for functions that you would other wise use built-in functions for? That can be tons and tons of work for little things, much less something big like basically writing your own MP3 audio player interface. Well done, gentlemen.

Seconded. I'm no dev but I have limited programming experience (and pretty much all CPU languages are the same conceptually), so I can appreciate the difficulty of a task like that.

If you ever add more owner mode things to franchise, like selling jerseys, It would be cool if these Player 0 jerseys could reflect in the number of jerseys we are actually selling. Like if Albert Pujols is our best player, he should have more jerseys in the stands than Ryan Theriot or Matt Holliday. If he leaves, Yadier Molina jerseys would increase, so more fans would be wearing his jersey. I'm stuck in 2011.

I'm glad I read the last line of your post because I was very confused as to why I was hearing Ryan Theriot's name for the first time in 5 years lol

Have you ever watched a live game called by Matty V? He's one of the best out there. I love Gary Thorne, but listening to him as the play-by-play guy for the Orioles he gets alot of his stuff wrong. His strong suit is his broadcasting voice.

Yeah, I mean Schwarber is a pretty good sized fella but his belly doesn't hang over like that.

Same for Chris Davis in past versions. The thing about Schwarber in the stream, his gut is over exaggerated but his swing is on point.

We have heard before in past years that commentary has been improved only for it to be the same dull experience. As soon as i heard matt v was still in the game i lost hope for 16 in that department.

I agree. I tend to be somewhere in between the staunch, unblinking supporters and the venomous critics of the devs on this game. I try to be objective. The visuals look pretty much the same to me right now as before (including animations), which is ok because it's WIP. But at the same time, you can tell they've sunk a ton of effort into this edition. There are actually more new bits and pieces than I was expecting and some of it is pretty subtle (where the catcher sets up to receive, the custom bullpen cameras, etc...etc...), but they definitely deserve credit for the effort and for being responsive on things (SOTS, retractable roofs etc..) and for people to withhold total judgment until it's done.

I would say I'm still teetering on account of stat tracking, which is a big deal for me. Once we get more info there, I'll know whether '16 is going to be an A and an 'auto-purchase' or a C+ and a 'might purchase' for me personally.

I was gonna mention that, they nailed his stance, I just want his gut normal. I'm going to be the Cubs in a franchise and little things like that bother me. I'm gonna be annoyed every time he comes to the plate. Hoping I can change his shape.

Anyone else notice that they had WAR on the list of stats during the roster update section that they were going through?

The problem is the in game commentary is dreadful. It does not come off like what your hearing when watching a real life broadcast. I can only compare from what i have heard between the two when recorded for video game commentary and its not even close. Gary's voice just has more life to it.
