MLB 15 The Show Screenshots Captured From Trailer

I'm really hoping that improvements were made to created player generation, 99.9% of draftees look pretty whack lol. There also needs to be a few weighted parameters, like equipment style, names to birthplace, etc.

I'm optimistic that the new skin tones also means higher quality skin textures on par with the face scans.

Also, I don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet but it looks like the bloom has been toned down or (hopefully) removed. It got downright horrendous at points last year, like glowstick-esque. Hoping that the new lighting model has ambient occlusion in some form.

this is what I don't get when it comes to the face scans they do, this is probably one of my biggest gripes when it come to face scans or player models. but I'm more or less just curious on what happens in the process that the image on the left turns into the image on the right and why they are so different from each other.

The complexity of the geometry is probably different.

The funny thing is that neither version really looks like Buster. The updated version is better, but there's still something off about it. Looks like James Franco lol

Looks like you'll be able to choose what webbing you want on your gloves this year, the Giant's pitcher looks like he has some sort of H web.

As for graphics, I'm going to go with the wait and see approach. Even though I would love new player models, I think that lighting can make a HUGE difference.

I think if they nail the lighting and improve the fluidity of animations in general, it can do wonders for the game.

I must be in the minority, because I personally think the game looks good. But then again, I grew playing Atari, Nintendo, and Sega Genesis.



And while the point will be overlooked and downplayed, with the game releasing on March 31st this year, when it released in May of last year, means the game has a shorter development cycle.

I recognize the posey on the left as buster posey but the model on the right looks like a somewhat cartoony generic create player with no resemblance to the SF catcher. Probably has a lot to do with the lighting. Also Create-a-Posey's nose, neck/jaw line and mouth are wrong.

I think emotive facial animations and life-like eyes (not the dead fish we've got now) would be HUGE help. The eyes are the worst part of the Puig trailer for me.

Madden had a short development cycle last year too releasing the next gen game 3 months later than normal but still saw a big improvement in graphics.
