Rounding the shoulders off to eliminate the square-shouldered look is a nice improvement, yes. But JoeRyan is correct here, they're still the old player models. It's a cosmetic improvement, nothing more. The shoulders are still too wide, and the bodies are still too short and squat.

I looked through the comparison screenshots you provided and found it interesting that they generally only show closeups of the shoulders and an improvement to the roundness of the shoulders, but nothing else.

Incorrect.

They are brand new player models. The arms are also lengthened, and designed to provide a better range of movement. If you fail to see it, then I do not know what to tell you. But you can not be more wrong if you think it was just a "slight cosmetic" thing.

Fact of the matter, is they are an entirely new skeletal structure (model), and there wasn't much major that had to be changed. What do you people honestly expect? The human body comes in all shapes and sizes, and even in real life ball players do not look proportioned for argument's sake.

The screenshots shown are from those players who in real life do have broad shoulders... they are muscular men and look that way in real life. (Just like the picture of A Gon in my avatar, it is a real shot and broad shouldered) There is a shot of Jeter on the main site that shows a more slender model.



I am not going to sit idle and watch people discredit the player models. Not this year. Not again. They are new, and they look great.

Uh, they only showed closeups of the shoulders? Are you sure you looked at all the screenshots? It has been said that the models are new, why wouldn't you believe them? If you can't see the difference in the full body shots (which there were some) then I guess you're just not going to see it.

Edit: Didn't mean to "pile on" to what Enigma said, as I hate to see things repeated again and again (although sometimes it may need to be). I had to step away from the CPU before I finished my post and didn't know he had already replied.

Someone ALWAYS knows better.
Haven't we figured that out by now.
From
1. "This is just a direct port over from the PS2 game"
to
2. #$%&^%$#

Someone always either calls out the devs or knows better than the guys who actually made the game.
I've made peace with it.

You are going to have to teach me some of those meditation procedures next week. Somehow I find it hard to picture you doing them with a straight face!

It's not that I want to harp on about player models, but like a lot of people I was expecting the models and the animations to receive a massive overhaul. The models look refined, but within the old framework.

One area that's really let the game down in previous iterations has been the look of the players in motion, particularly when hitting and pitching. Much of that appears tied to these old models.
