Fine, I do agree with you with the whole if it ain't broke don't fix it and that is where the game play comes in. But since they haven't made such large innovations on game play (which is a good thing) the same could also be said for presentation. The presentation is broke and needs some fixin'.

IMO if they were to do a complete overhaul or restart for the engine/graphics, the jump to PS4 for 14 would have been the time. They still could do a presentation overhaul for 16 that would be very welcome, but I would prefer to have all-new player models over enhanced presentation. I also agree on the gameplay, every year becomes the best playing baseball game, and it looks like that will continue to be the case with 15. I can't wait to play around with directional hitting--that's sort of how I tried to play by influencing the hit direction with the right stick, which only sort of worked last year.

What kind of a overhaul can be made to the presentation? The current presentation already looks like a MLB TV Broadcast. All of the overlays and cut scenes you see leading up to the first pitch and during the game is what happens on a day-to-day basis for a MLB Broadcast. Can they add a few lines of commentary in there? Sure, but a complete overhaul? I feel is unnecessary.

Plus, if i remember hearing correctly on the stream, Gill formerly played pro ball, sooooooo, there's your experience factor.

With the reveal of some of this year's lighting in the latest stream, I was curious about the neon features (AT&T Park Coke Bottle, Braves sign at Turner Field, etc.). Are those "illuminated" at night this year?

By broken I mean for example The Balls, Strikes and Outs do not light up on the PS4 version. Also The wrong number show for At Bat. I think I did hear the division standings now update in real time which is really cool.

I believe they still use the hanging Sox in the infield grass during the playoffs. Aside from that I haven't seen them put it there.

Maybe already talked about (haven't really went through everything) but is there any way to get shadows on the baserunners in the base running window?
I know it's a small thing but was wondering. No real biggie.
