We will continue to move forward with our process just like we did from the first year of PS3 until now. So far we've done ok by following that plan.

That is fine. Most of us are not demanding player models be ripped out if what you have is tweaked. Most of us know it may never be done in that fashion because of animations. And a lot of us are mostly happy with how things look year to year just for the model itself. Seems things are improving every year as you alluded to....

But stuff like the templates on jerseys? Yeah, not sure what would be preventing this from being changed or modded in. Inaccurate representation of the classic MLB jersey is not something I think most people want in a sports game of this stature. It just seems like a mistake made so long ago that no one wants to correct.

But can the number on the back be moved higher up on jerseys without names and can the sweat be removed from the hats and old time baggy paints look and also can cloth physics (2K style) be added without completely brand new player models though?

I'm already happy when the bulky players don't look like they have a pillow under their jersey

I hope they kept the pillow bodies for Bartolo Colon.

Does an MLB game really need cloth physics? NBA 2K needs it because the jerseys move around so much that it's an iconic part of basketball, but except for the MLB players who insist on looking like slobs, a baseball uniform should fit pretty well.

Cloth physics would be a neat addition, but is it a priority?

No it is not a priority but it would be cool to have the jerseys move on games with a lot of wind.

Cloth physics itself, i wouldn't say is a priority, but seeing as how stadiums and environment have seemingly been the main priority graphics wise since the Show moved to ps4, it's probably time player models are the number one priority.

And cloth physics is a big component when it comes to player models. Players differentiate in the way they wear their uniforms heavily. Some examples

Spoiler

Unbuttoned jerseys are gonna look totally different when in motion compared to fully buttoned jereys



Baggy pants will look totally different as well


Baggier jerseys compared to tighter jerseys

All the material will hang differently and give player models actual uniqueness. I'm assuming this level of detail would be hard to implement though, but something i hope can be incorporated.

I'm really curious to see how the Nike and UnderArmor arm sleeves look on players, too bad we haven't seen those equipped on guys yet.
