Also to the rest of your post, i get caught up on the smallest details because all of the bigger things in the game i'm not worried about. I'm definitely not worried about gameplay, and i'm definitely not worried about RTTS. So the only thing that concerns me about the game is some graphics things. If i was still playing MLB 2k, the way the uniforms look would be one of the last things on my mind.

I agree with you on this. The Show is one of those games that we pretty much know will have great gameplay but it's those little details that put the game over the top. The Show does this better than anyone though. They are the kings of small details. I do think the sleeves and jerseys look a bit weird but for me it's really not that big of an issue. It is for some though so I understand that.

However, the fact that some people are hyping out about the PS4 version based on 7 or whatever screen shots is flat out pathetic. Not to mention we have already been told by the developers that these screen shots are pretty old. Once the game is seen in motion and we get other details on it, then we can give our constructive criticism. To me it's just flat out unfair and disrespectful to the developers to bash (not saying you're bashing it) the game this early or even at all. They are the only developers that actually come on here and take our feedback to heart. If they continue to get hated on, at some point they may just decide not to even come on here anymore.

I find it funny around here how some things are accepted as "complaints" and others not.

Better editing tools? I don't give a toss but I respect why you might want it.

The show is so great already that it allows some people to see some small things that might need improved in future. Look at some things that they have put into the PS4.

"Light Reflecting off individual blades of grass"
"Ball boys"
"Crazy amounts of beard hair"

Are all of these things necessary? No absolutely not but they add to an already great game. In my opinion the uniforms could be improved from the stills I have seen so far (maybe too early to judge).

Better cloth physics.
More realistic script and logo material.
Correct scale logos and piping.

These are all little things in my opinion that could be improved. Those are not just complaints for the hell of it. Just opinions. You might have a different opinion. It's not wrong.

If it wasn't for all of these so called "complainers". We wouldn't have the amazingly detailed game we have today and that includes that very unnecessary but beautiful grass that improves the game.

Most of the time people are polite and respectful when giving constructive criticism, yet the usual suspects come in and shoot them down. They then band everyone who says the slightest thing down about the Show together as some kind of losers who should just sit down and shut up.

Yes the devs are the best out there.
Yes it's the best sports game if not game out there.

Can it be improved?

I never saw this question get answered.

Will QC be available in online play?

I re-watched the blog and scanned some pages through here but I couldn't find it. So my question is, well two questions are:
1. Can you have quick counts just for pitching or just hitting or when it's on it's for both?
2. Can you toggle quick counts on and off while in game? Perhaps I want to speed through the first few innings or so, I would have QC on but when it's late in the game I may want more control with each at bat so I would just turn off quick counts.

QC has to be for both, and once you turn it on for a game it stays on.

Russell said it was available for online franchise, but no word on other online game modes. Hopefully not as it would be a quick way to boost universal profile XP and maybe "stubs"?

They could have easily balanced the XP and Stub system to account for that.

I agree QC's should stay out of ranked modes like DD. But for unranked lobby matches or challenges, if both players agree to use QC's I don't see the issue.
