Sounds like they may need to prioritize better then.

So more then double the size well that definitely explains things.

Thanks for the info.

Changing the player models requires them to then recapture every single batting animation, pitching animation, and overall gameplay animation. Sorry for the interruption, I now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

I hear what you're saying, but all other sports titles have made a significant graphical jump on next gen consoles. If not the 1st year like NBA2k than the 2nd like madden and the rest. This game is also a PS exclusive so it should look a lot better than what we have now..

Did you see Russell_SCEA comments above?

For a team of only 75 I think it is amazing that they can put out such a great baseball game every year.

Like so many of us here there are so many features, improvements and bug fixes that we want in the game RIGHT NOW not next year or the year after that. But I have finally realized I need to be patient. Sony is the only game company even making a MLB game so I am grateful to them that we get a brand new version every year. Each new version of MLB The Show is better then the one before adding some very nice improvements with each version. I will always keep asking for the features and improvements I want the most even if it takes years and years to finally get them included. I mean what other options are there as far as baseball gaming is concerned? Luckily at least for me anyway I think MLB 15 The Show is a fantastic game already and as each of my most wanted features and improvements get added to the game the happier I will be

I feel like you can only be patient for so long though, it's gonna be like 7 years or something with basically the same player models, and 3 years now on next gen, i was expecting new player models first year next gen, but then i realized, maybe i should practise some patience and hopefully within the next couple years it'll happen, but still nothing. Ultimately, i'm just going to have to keep practising patience anyways because there's nothing i can do, except post on this message board and hope the SCEA team sees the outcry for new player models and feel inclined to do something drastic about it.

I definitely agree with the part about MLB the show being fantastic, regardless of all the negative sounding posts I make about this game, it's by far my favourite game and the only game i play literally year round, 12 months. Which is why it's starting to disappoint me that not enough meaningful improvements are being made, IMO.

I understand this, but it just baffles me that basically everyone would agree that the Show had the best graphics on ps3 regardless of team size. But now on next gen, the graphics are arguably the worst (arguably). What changed? It didn't seem like the size of SCEA team was hindering any developmental performance and game improvements previous gen.

Ok... so in other words be happy with what you get. I don't deny that it's a great game, I buy it every year. I think on the PS3 this game was easily the best looking sports games and by year 3 I thought it was going to be a big jump again on the ps4. This game at times still looks similar to the PS3 version.

I think the time to make a significant change was the beginning of the gen, which is what 2K did but IIRC 2K14 was pretty barebones feature-wise compared to MLB 14 (I believe all the modes on PS3 were included in PS4). I remember we had some discussions on whether it was worth it to keep supporting the PS3 version, and after keeping up with NPD results since the gen started, at this point I think it is safe to assume that the PS3 has been on life support in the US (this game's primary market) since the PS4 came out. So was it the right idea to continue to support the PS3 version of the game past year 1, if it all? I personally have no idea since I don't have access to the financials or if it was possibly mandated by SCE. Would be interesting to find out for sure, I had a feeling the PS3 wouldn't have legs but not to this extent.

If you want to say The Show just isn't up to par with other sports games in these areas, that's one thing, but don't try to make excuses for them.

Not making any excuses, just pointing out facts.

Look, I'm all for upgrading player models and whatever else can make the game better. The difference between myself and some others is that I don't go around claiming the dev team is lazy, stupid, lacks passion, needs to prioritize better, etc....etc....

I understand that this team has limitations based on a number of factors, most notably being they are half the size of most, if not all, other sports titles.
