Been quite a while since I have chimed in, but lurking everyday.

Not that it matters much, but my quick two cents: I doubt the guys who make the show only want to hear positive reviews, and certainly thats what a forum is for...debate and passionate conversation about something shared. That team would not invite members of this forum every year to sit and nit-pick every single detail if they didnt want to improve, and our feedback is just as valid...whether it be dirt or sleeves or beards. The reason feedback is getting more and more "nit-picky" is that the game is so amazing, the only thing left is the ridiculous details.

You know the difference between whining and constructive criticism? Its when you agree or disagree with the person. I don't necessarily care about the sleeve, but I would love dirt as detailed as the grass. Is one nit picking and one a valid point?

I can see that it gets annoying when its posted over and over, I get that. However, the squeaky wheel does get greased. As long as the company cares so much to hear our opinion, I am very glad there are people giving it to them. If its redundant or maybe not worded in a constructive way...I dont read it. (and they probably dont either)


ok, lecture over!
Here is what I found today...as per usual, everyone is 50% right and 50% wrong, like most things in life. Looking at the Heyward shot, there is a LOT that looks very similar to me. No question the lighting it better, but I can see the points about the catchers gear and some of the details, player models etc. If i look quickly and objectively, there isnt a huge change.

However, when I compare the Chen shots (and most of the night game shots)...this is where things get interesting. The face improvement is remarkable, but what really jumps out is the lighting for nights games. Reflective light from the field, highlights on the player and cast shadows from the overheads make this so much better. I like the improvement in the folds of the fabric, and they way the hat fits. Light and shadow cast around the stadium is much improved as well.


Honestly I was not blown away when I saw these...but the more I looked at the improvements, and the more I imagined them all together in motion, the more excited I am to see this game.

ps, I think what people are wanting to see with the dirt is something like what they did in the intro.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDNflPH3iDk

Though certainly a small thing, I do see the point....it is called the greatest show on dirt for a reason. And with the new grass, the smooth concrete look just jumps out a bit more.

Both Snoop Dogg and Kim-jong-un approve of these screenshots

Great comparisons bodhiball. I really like how the lighting changes the entire look of the game. It actually looks like light is being casted into the stadium as opposed to being like a room with a light turned on (if that makes any sense).

Also, you can really see the change in the color of stadium walls, etc. Looks much better. Seems to me that the size and depth of stadiums is much improved as well.

Superb comparison work bodhiball.

To everyone saying that dirt textures don't matter or are not even noticeable, take a look at these two videos of Pro Yakyuu Spirits and tell me the dirt textures add nothing to the game:






I guess I'm just another idiot complainer, but I was really hoping the textures in the PS4 version of The Show would get a massive overhaul. They stood out to me in PS3 version because everything else looked so great but I fear they are going to stand out even more in the PS4 version.

I see what you're say, but.........................static dirt and static chalk lines only go so far.
