Ah makes sense, sounds good!

Man this game looks beautiful. Can't wait to see more of the stadium and franchise stuff, and especially Safeco.


One thing I thought of that I hope changes back is the camera on long, close foul balls. I didn't like in '15 when you hit a deep ball down the line that you thought could be out, the camera just instead stayed behind the batter, essentially showing you it was going to be foul instead of tracking the ball. I hope that goes back to tracking the ball instead.


Otherwise, my goodness. IK is going to make it look smoother, love the out of place stuff, and all of the new animations. That's all impressive. LOVE seeing the outside the stadium stuff too, and love that things move now. Can't wait to hear more on that.

Must say this looks like a huge improvement, especially figuring I skipped last year's game, so this should be a big jump up from 14 to 16...

Did anyone notice if hats where sweaty in the 1st inning?

Ramone, I didn't hear anything about timing hitting or classic pitching, have these methods been tweaked at all?

totally agree, I actually told myself last year that I was going to skip on mlb 16 and wait for 17 just because there isn't normally huge differences from year to year. but after last nights stream I'm starting to change my mind on it.

Just curious, what would you like to see tweaked with either of those?

I think it was Nick (or maybe it was Ramone) who did say the swing feedback was tweaked to more accurately describe what happened. May have been referring to PCI, though, for zone hitting. I'd have to re-watch.

Anyone else feel the same way?

I have mixed feelings about this also. But honestly I think either way is fine and I think the problem is sometimes we get used to having something a certain way and when it is changed it sometimes takes a while to get used to it.
