MLB 15 The Show Stream: Character Artists Deep Dive and a Full Game

Has it ever been mentioned or considered to get to a point where players can have hair and/or facial hair that changes throughout a franchise. Think Ben Wallace in the early 2000's NBA 2K series, his hair would randomly change from cornrows to afro and vice versa. It would be kinda like dynamic weather but with hair. For example there are certain players who will begin to grow out their stubble or a full beard come playoff time or players who have long hair but may cut it short only to grow it out again. Now obviously this is not a priority seeing as how it would only truly be visible to players who play deep into a franchise. I'm sure I'm not the first to have this idea but I've always wished that one day developers could get to a point where this level of realism is possible and maybe even possible to see players age or hair start to grey or thin out for a play who plays 10 or 15+ seasons (this is a wish for all sports games but would be most visible in NBA or MLB less in NHL and NFL games due to the equipment worn over the head). What do you guys think? Any chance outside of a pipe dream?

I am not speaking for anyone but my own thoughts....

I would like to see this as well...BUT

1. I know facial hair and such is hand drawn so technology would have to improve.

2. I don't know if SCEA can legally change a players likeness in a game.

I agree with both of your points, I guess it would have to be a guy could have a clean shaven face or full beard (wouldn't be a the most realistic but would still be semi immersive).

And your second point I imagine is 100% true

I'm loving this new uniform logic. There won't be a need for the uniform tables this year because it should be accurate in the game.

Maybe the reason they skip though the presentation is because there really is not anything new to show off to you guys. Not being funny but Just play MLB 14,13 12,11 The Show and so on and you pretty much have seen what MLB 15 The Show presentation has in store for you.

The only one who's been skipping through cutscenes is Ramone because he's a "button-masher." I'm the same way, once you get into a habit of it, it's hard to stop. They've shown other gameplay without skipping though, and there's definitely some new presentations. It doesn't look like a huge overhaul though like so many people here want

All that sounds nice on paper but we are not seeing it in these videos. Well maybe some of you are but I am not that's for sure. Again I do not hate the current presentation I just think it got old and needs a pretty big refresh.

The best thing that I can see that was added to the presentation for 15 is the new "Inside The Show" feature which I think has a lot of potential. But that is just an audio presentation feature. What I am looing for is more of a visually presentation upgrade!
