I agree and think that thats where some people misinterpret when people "complain" about little things like they are trashing the game and not going to buy it or being unrealistic on points. It's those little things like overlays for you and sleeves for me that seem to get overlooked for years that are visual and part of the in game play that can make it boring and stale. Thats also is major thumbs up to the developers that it is these minimal things that are really the only left to "complain" about to make this game complete.

I loved it. My main gripe is the same one I have had since 07 or so. Really, really bad pitching animations. They don't look as natural or real as the batting animations.

Pitchers all have the same robotic follow through.

They all seem really stiff and rigid.

I know we have beat it to death, but the 2K series did them perfectly, and even MLB Perfect Inning for mobile does them really, really good.

I'd say there is no excuse, but there is - they don't prioritize it. But they should.

The stream was really good, guys. Bleachers... maybe still a little dark? But way more tolerable than last year, and so many mechanical improvements. I still can't get over how awesome and fluid fielding is now on quick plays. That is going to relieve an insane amount of frustration.

Indeed the one area of this game that does greatly improve year after year is the game play! And there is nothing wrong with that

But I want the whole cake!

To me it is a good thing that the base of the game is intact and improvements and tweaks are made in certain areas where needed as the series evolves. If they made radical changes it would just give everyone else something new to complain about and demand the old style back lol. It is already the best sports game on the market so why change from that? It’s hard to make a giant leap when the presentation is already so close to that of a real life game…

Just a random thought on that but I wonder if there was another baseball game to compete with if we would have seen a major change going to ps4.

IRL, they collect them, but in the game, I'd say about 90-95% of the time the pitcher gets it.. One of my very few pet peeves about the game.

This has been toned down a bit in 15, do to the slower reactions of the fielders across the board, as well as animation branching.
