I didn't get a chance to watch the full stream. Did they touch on how created players from 16 would carry over to 17 with the new enhancements to CAP?

Thank you fellow Phillies fan. As long as they don't look anything like the pictures in post #5.

Hopefully with all the new hair, body types, faces, etc. CAP mangers and coaches will look a lot more diverse.

did they mention anything about crowd models, still appear to be when first released PS3 builds and look odd compared to player models

Did they show off any new equipment? From watching the Dev tourney, looks like Nike catchers equipment, Adidas & Mizuno batting gloves didn't make it in.

I think lighting is hitting the crowds much better than in the past, but I don't think the models have changed any.

I hope there is a larger variance of crowd people and animations, though.

From the limited information I've seen, I believe this to be accurate

Cubbies have earned the extra coverage.

Maybe it was just me, but during the Dev tourney did the Pirates black uniform still look washed out to anyone else?

Generally speaking, crowd models are always a generation or so behind player models, dating back to the PS1 era when you had your first polygonal player builds and the crowd was still sprites or worse, blocky squares. You really can't compare crowd models to player models.

Yeah. Until consoles get much beefier CPU and RAM there will probably always be big difference between players and crowd

Wonder why they couldn't show Bryant's face.

Probably has to do with competing endorsement deals. If they were to key in on a player, who say for example is the face of RBI Baseball, it can be seen as using his image to promote The Show. This is just a guess, or it could be their face scans turned out not so great, but I doubt that's the reason.

Hopefully he is getting patched or something. What's up with his hat? He looked better last year I think.

You could see his player model when they went over his name.

Right. Crazy how the two reigning MVPs in their respective leagues might not have proper face scans. The equivalent would be Lebron and Curry not having good scans. It is what it is I guess.

Sorry, not this year...regarding crowd animations. It is certainly on the list for next year, but this year was focused on "on the field" animations, of which you should see a ton of new ones.

Has nothing to do with that.

It's not that they wont have good scans, it's that they can't use those players to promote their game since they are contracted by other companies to represent other products. I'd be very surprised if Trout and Bryant didn't have good face scans in The Show 17.
