Not a small task. What are you expecting to be done with the models? If you're more specific than, "they need to be redone", there may be a greater chance of seeing the changes you want.

I think the player models look just fine. Only thing I would like to see added is the option for players to wear those Braided necklaces that so many of them wear nowadays.

We'll see how much better they can make them look this year, but '10 to '11 was a big improvement.

Just to be clear. The basic graphical components of the fielders are the skeleton, the model attached to said skeleton, and the textures applied to the model.

As previously stated the skeleton was rebuild, the models were updated, and textures are constantly updated/improved.

Again, more specific descriptions of the perceived discrepacies/over-sights will provide a greater chance of actually seeing a change.

What I meant by "unchanged" with the textures was that you didn't scrap away anything you used to have with regard to jerseys, etc. and redo them as you did with the models. I guess I didn't want to be syntactically incorrect when I said what I did, but my point was that the "redoing" was not so much on the outer layer of the players as it was on the inside (so like the proportions, not the "skin" and such, even though those are, as you said, constantly upgraded).

I also would like to see longer dreadlocks on the player models.

Like for Andrew McCutchen for example.

If I am not mistaken I think the MLB said no to the necklaces. Not sure of the exact reason though.

Really?

So not only no tattoos but now no necklaces either.

Since when are necklaces a bad thing?

I just don't get who is running MLB sometimes.

HA, i love that picture! i hate bud selig. he directly correlates baseball quality with revenue generated. and he's an OWNER. the position of commissioner was made with the specific criteria being totally independent, not a player or an owner. how in the hell did he get this job anyway? oh yeah, the owners voted him in.
Anyway, sorry for the rant. Now i may have missed this, but has there been any official word on if the retractable-roof stadiums will have an open/closed option? i've looked but didn't see an official answer.
