20 New MLB The Show 16 Screenshots

[MythicalGnome]

All in all the most disappointing aspects of MLB The SHOW are simply all the errors and problems with player models, whether it be jerseys, sweat lines, animations, templates, details, or batter helmet problems.

I sincerely hope this is the last year we deal with these garbage models and the entire damn system they are based on. I'm just tired of the players having so many issues. I'm pretty much okay with how they are getting better and better with fields and stadiums and lighting, as well the features for all the modes.

But damn do these player models need to die.

Yeah, the dirt and overall field texture still needs work. It's getting better but that dirt at homeplate looks REALLY weird to me.

Here is hope that 17 fixes so many of these little issues.

Honest question since you said you're "pretty much okay with" with other additions.


If they spent a year and worked on nothing but player models and everything else you mentioned above and nothing else would you be here posting about how happy you were or would you find something else that went untouched to complain about?

These images are incredible. Textures look million times better. deGrom's hair looks real.

But I'm a little disappointed with Citi Field. The scoreboard in center has some display as it did last year also the right center field fence isn't all chain link anymore its half padded and half chain link.

Don't know if stadiums are locked and completed or if there's still time to get this fix in.

Do you have any reference photos?

I've noticed that at Camden Yards, the backdrop behind the tunnels to the concourse in the upper deck is dark. They aren't transparent. For example, for the upper deck in LF, you should be able to see through the tunnels and the sky/sunlight/buildings behind the stadium should be visible.

This looks good on the lower deck, but not the upper deck. A minor thing but I've noticed it for years. If this could be fixed it would be great!

Also at Camden, the overhead portion of the tunnels are now painted orange.

Below are three reference photos.

First for the transparency that would be nice to see in the game:


And a reference showing the orange paint on the tunnels:


Finally, a reference of the lack of transparency that you see in the game (notice the darkness behind the tunnels in the upper deck):

On the scoreboard, the lineups to the right switch to the home and away team depending on who's batting. Also, the bottom right has the time and temperature.

Thanks Ramone!

Nice eye. When I heard someone mention this a while back I just assumed it would get fixed easily. Glad someone caught it.

In reference to the sweat and dirt "clumps" or whatever they are ...I feel this has been an issue with sports games forever. It's enticing for devs to add in little "realism" things visually like this, but fans maybe not really being into those visual flair things added in. I remember people flipping out at when NBA games got "real" sweat. Then when the game came out everyone wanted it turned off or toned down since it was a bit much. The sweat and changing dirt during games are great ideas I think to add a little something extra visually, but I get why people dislike them. Sweat should only show up when the temperature reaches a certain level and later in games. I'd also agree that the dirt clumps should probably go and be replaced with just the dirt getting messed on the surface level. I don't notice them that much in game, but in screenshots I get why people dislike them.
