Then why did Sony at it to MLB 14 The Show since all the stadiums were redone?

That's what I meant. In one screenshot, it looked like it was gone. But in the fly-over screenshot, it's still there.

What exactly is lacking? Compared to what? Not like it looked bad on ps3 to begin with, but the diff is very notiveable.

And I realize that it wasn't possible in the first year on the new system, so it's just something I'm hoping for next year. The job they did on the stadiums and lighting is incredible, now I hope they prioritize the animations and player movement next year and do as good of a job on that as they did on this.

We understand.

I think they even stole animations from MLB2k! McCutchen made a diving catch (I've seen that exact animation on the 2K game!) I'm being very sarcastic here for a reason. I'm sorry but the animation argument isn't a legitimate one, or a very weak one at best. There are only so many ways to hit, pitch, and field. Everyone has their own little nuance to doing it, but those are only noticeable to those specifically looking for it. Are there times when the criticism is warranted? Absolutely. However, the general statements after every video saying the PS4 is like the PS3 because of the animations is overplayed. It's baseball, you cannot change that. They can continue to add new animations, but they typically don't remove many so you will continue to see the same ones every year. Variety may be key, but you cannot have that takeaway from a 2 second clip of an animation. I'm okay with the stadium complaints. Those can be passed along to appropriate person at the studio to try to get into the game. I don't think it's a purchase killer if they use white font instead of yellow, but letting them know so they can fix it is needed. When you're so close to a project, you naturally overlook little details like that.

I think that the animation issues (at least for me) partly come from the awkwardness of some of them. There are some newer ones that look much more fluid, but the way some throws are, swings, wrist movements...they just seem a little off.

As most of the people who share their thoughts, it doesn't effect my love for this game or excitement for it...that's just where i think those thoughts are coming from. And like others, I'm pretty sure that we'll see a very different game in the next couple years when more and more time can be invested into some of those aspects of the game that there just weren't time for this year.

animations, player models, (still too few crowd models, heads of children)...

first 2 are of course the more important. they are still on solid ps 3 level but I'm sure they'll get some work in the next few years.

I'm not trying to nitpick but I am the only one who thinks the grass and dirt don't look 'healthy' enough, especially in night games. The coloring of the grass and dirt just seem off to me. And way too many 'spots' in both of them.
