That ball rolling foul was also better looking than what I have seen in the past. The player models are much improved. The faces look fantastic this year with the lighting effect. Just really excited to see these things with the camera set I normally use. I am one of the hardcore players who like to play every inning so these improvements in game play animations mean a lot to me. With the new presentation,graphics,ball physics,grass effect,animations,equipment,created players, and stat overlays. It should more than enhance franchise and season modes for me this year! Oh yeah and they were sweating!!

I haven't gotten the game in 3 years, but is that really ball physics?
When I watch the video, the first thing I notice is that the framerate is better and that's why the ball looks better gong into play.

Maybe its both. Either way, it looks more like super mega baseball, and that's a good thing.

I really hope they didnt take equipment away again. I'm really hoping they added Adidas & Mizuno batting gloves along with Mizuno fielding gloves & Nike catchers equipment. Hopefully they'll show us all equipment on tomorrow's super big stream!

No doubt they are configured to the best place for the game's sake. Just looking forward to what else will be in store regarding outfield footwork, momentum, and future ball, air, & ground physics put in play in future iterations. The lines simply just seem to still hog up some doubles. Seems to be the only thing that poked its head out from the past. Rest looks pristine for sure, especially some of the new animations. So much has been done this year, it's incredible.

I mean, the devs do the best they can to represent the game. I think tinkering with outfield sizes or messing with positioning would likely create other issues at this point. To me the extra base hits are basically dialed in, particularly when I saw a ball go over the head of a CF in one of the earlier vids from this year. I also suspect the new physics and wind may help in this regard.

Of course, that was what I meant when I said I would be working the sliders. I wasn't complaining about that; they are tweakable for a reason, and they work very well no less.

Did they mention anything about new wind? I haven't heard of the matter.

I hope so, but I haven't seen the Nike Air Huarache at all. Maybe that is because they are trying to show off more new stuff, but going based off of last year it leads me to believe they took some stuff out rather than expanding on brands already in the game. I hope I'm wrong though. Doubt Mizuno batting gloves are in. Joey Bautista wasn't wearing Marruci batting gloves in the video either. Also doesn't look like Adidas batting gloves are in either. Every video/stream we've seen with a player that has Adidas cleats has a generic batting glove. Hopefully they actually show all the equipment tomorrow. Also, every video/stream we've seen the players that wear Nike Huarache has something different on. and I haven't seen the Nike Vapor Elite batting gloves that guys like Adrian Gonzalez and George Springer wear that were in 16. Everyone has the Swingman Pro on.

Damn you're right... Hopefully we'll find out tomorrow or in 2 damn long weeks!

Will grass tech be on display during actual gameplay, or would we only notice it in replay?

I'm with you. Don't know why they always play on fast play or hybrid and mashing the X button ( same during the Thursdays twitch). They have a beautiful game , let us enjoy it in all his beauty ;-)
