They still got work to do on fields. 16 still looks fake in the grass department and detailing in certain areas. Not sure why they stopped taking opinions on stuff with fields.

They stopped?

They always take opinions, it's factually too late to make any drastic art work changes at this point.

Hopefully in the future they can add it to the training portion of franchise to allow players to work on different positions. Having a utility player is essential these days. Every team has 1 or 2 of these type players.

Maybe allow the training on other positions to begin in spring training and progress over the season. Have the ratings go according to innings logged at specific positions and how well the player played the positions.

speaking of animations. anyone know if there will be any new slides at home plate other than the one where you slide legs first and just slide ur hand over the plate as you slide beside the plate?

im thinking animations like for example Donaldsons avoid tag dive onto homeplate or sliding hands first over the plate or any cool avoid the tag type slides?

The grass has been an ISSUE for like 4 years now...the detail in it looks muddy from afar.

Ill give it to them last year for improving overall color palette tho.

But the backdrops SHOULD be fixed as that what we see most of the time

The show also needs better body types im unsure WHY many players look SQUASHED.

If you guys remeber there was a feature back with the older MLB's that you could adjust screen stretch last year i didnt see it so it bothered me more

Me and my community are not probably getting MLB this year looks tooooo samey

Surprise us and maybe but with amonth out i think this product is ready to be shipped as is...

The PS4 itself has the ability to enlarge or shrink the screen size, though all of it is 16:9.

Did you actually adjust the ratio to remedy a supposed issue with player proportions, as to throw everything else out of whack? I have gripes with the player models as well, but I would never go to these lengths (no pun intended).

Funny, I'm seeing a lot of differences. Unfortunately, not all in the hoped areas, but thankfully the majority that are changed seem to be heading in the right direction (with the exception of menu interfaces).

Have you been watching the same twitch streams I have? Have you seen the PBR screenshots that have been released?? They have yet to show the game with the full graphics that will be included in the final release. There is going to be a huge difference in how 16 looks compared to 15.

Did they expand on the new pickoff system in one of the streams? I didn't watch the whole thing and never understood why they switched the button scheme for pickoffs. It was very logical in 14. Single tap for normal pickoff, quick double tap for a quick pickoff and hold the button for a deceptive move.

But in 15 they turned it around. Quick double tap is a normal pickoff and single tap is quick pickoff.

Who thought this was a good idea or am I missing something here?
