Dustin shaved his beard during the season and what can you do? Unless we can edit player features, nothing SCEA can do with the beard.

I will say, although it was cool seeing the new beard visuals in the game, especially on Pedey, seeing him ONLY like that was kinda annoying. He would only wear a beard like that in the playoffs.

If you're talking about the windows showing the runners on the base paths, they dont exist anymore... there is no more player animations in this sense... (reference is 5:40 from part 2 of 2).

Another nitpick, the Jolly Roger on the Pirates uniform has white bats in real life, not gold. Really, not a big deal to me though, just joining in.

I did watch the stream, and it's still,darker than the rest of the field. Not sure why they are having such problems with lighting.

I have a feeling when you are on ground level especially at home plate the lights would be too bright to see the things really lit up in the background.

Quote the words "development team" or "they are" in my original post. It's easy to attack a strawman, isn't it?

But I don't blame you -- I would build a strawman, too, if I wanted to deflect from the central argument, which is that they are rehashing the same low-variety, outdated, utterly stale on-the-field presentation animations for the last 4 years. "That is" (not "they are") lazy - or whatever other adjective you'd like to attach to it.

There is no defense for not adding to or updating the animations, especially considering the game is now on a next-gen system and is the only baseball game on the market. If you play this game in broadcast mode this year, and have played any one of MLB 12, 13, or 14, you have basically already seen every single presentation animation relative to the flow or excitement of every single game you will play in MLB 15 from the moment you open the wrapper. And that's not stale to you?

Players (especially pitchers) have no individuality or variety, batters have like 10 walkups and swing motions to choose from for 200+ hitters in a league, the dugout basically doesn't exist, and the only fan we see is one of the Devs holding a sign during the lineup call.

To me, and I'm sure to a lot of other long-time supporters, not adding at least a few new animations (I mean 20-30 new pitcher/batter reactions would've killed you?) is a huge disappointment and a major letdown for the game's first true release on the PS4.

If this game had a competitor this year, I would have flat-out jumped ship after seeing this video.

If you don't like the game, don't buy it.

There's always RBI Baseball, Super Mega Baseball, and Pro Yakyuu Spirits (which didn't even make the jump to next gen) - so technically, there is competition. Although, competition (or lack thereof) has 0 bearing on how the game is developed. Or you can play old games from other competitors, because they had 100s of batter walk up animations right? Anyway, no one is forcing you to buy the game.

As for the first part of your post, everyone here can understand the inference of what you typed.
