Apparently you didn't respond to the paragraph underneath that, which would be my counter to your statement.

Either way, my point isn't being understood, so I'll leave it be. I already made my claims about how much/little it looks like him. My comments thereafter were made generally speaking, not specifically about Mr. Phillips.

EDIT: I don't want anything to sound out of place here. I'm not trying to call anyone out on anything. I was merely speaking on the merits of game promotion; whether honest or dishonest, I just don't see spokespeople speak negatively about a product in public interviews, ever. I don't even see backhanded compliments. My post was not directed at Brandon Phillips or SCEA; it was just in response to the other poster bringing up what he said about it though.

I apologize, and if you read my post below I can see how accurately done he really has been made too.

Honestly, I probably would too simply by process of elimination (because I can't think of another MLB player who that looks like). Otherwise, I might think it's a generic player made to look like Pedro Cerrano or something.

EDIT: I finally went into Google Images to try and place what looks different about him. I've narrowed it down to three things:

1) The full beard.
2) The bottom lip color.
3) The hat placement.

The third one is one of the most unique things about the guy (he wears it low and slightly crooked), so I can understand why that can't really be replicated on this game. If he is sporting a full beard this year, I'm sure it will look closer to him in the game.

That said, I'm warming up to his look now. The bottom lip color was the last one, and I don't think this game separates top and bottom lips at all. So it probably truly is "as close as they can get," which of course is very acceptable.

He just likes the beard. that is cool maybe it is the shadows. I see some resemblance but not like the Heyward counter part.

You have to take into consideration that his facial/head scan was probably taken in Spring Training 2013 so he probably looked like this last year the day the scan was taken.

I honestly don't know what Brandon Phillips looks like when he's not smiling lol. But I gotta say these screens probably do a good appropriation of it.



Here's the best pictures I could find of him making a neutral facial expression




He looks like Big KRIT in that picture lol





I think that if you add a full beard to those 2 pics, he would look pretty much exactly like he does in the 2 screenshots.

Your smiling comment makes me wonder if we will see some more facial expressions on the ps4. This game would be on another level if they can accurately portray human emotion because we all know that baseball has it's ups and downs.
