I hope you realize two of my above three posts were entirely massive jokes.

Not excited about anything so far. Graphics and player models do not look improved. Hopefully the franchise mode will get some love. We need stats!!! Maybe they don't understand what we mean by that

Man does this series need new player models and animations.
At a quick glance, it's like you're watching an HD version of MLB08.

No worries, my meter was working fine.

Maybe it's me, but I don't see a difference. Please don't jump all over me, but player models, throws, etc. all look the same. If they don't fix the fielder animations, especially outfielders, I'll be upset. I guess I'm spoiled with 2K graphics, cuz I don't see a big difference.

Cross-saves was a life-saver for me and enabled me to play deeper into Franchise/Season modes with all of my travel for work. Not sure how that will work for me now that I'm restricted to just the PS4 version.

What I'll miss the most is the cross-save. My four year old doesn't let me sit in my office and play PS4, but she has no problem with me playing something on my Vita. So I'll sit on the couch and play The Show. I was able to cruise through my RTTS this way.

Remote play doesn't work well in my house because my PS4 isn't wired (yet) and its really hit or miss depending on who is home and what they're streaming from.

Sad day indeed.

Yep new player models and animations would put this game over the top!

I know nothing is ever going to be perfect but o man when MLB The Show gets new player models along with much improved animations specially running the bases animations MLB The Show would be the king of all sports games!!

But someone here made a great point in saying he thinks maybe the reason we have not gotten new player models is because of how much detail goes into building all the stadiums. Perhaps the PS4 is already limited by it's spces. I guess we need the PS5 already

Hey, I'd love to see improved faces and models as well, but there's two important things to remember here. First, this is pre-beta footage and we have no idea how far along they are in development. There are still plenty of features to be introduced that we don't even know about yet, revamped visuals could be one of them.

Second (and more important), these trailers are sometimes spliced together using existing assets, which is very important when it comes to breaking down/analyzing footage. The bottom line is we won't know whether player faces/models are improved or not until we get confirmation from SDS.
