MLB The Show 16 Video - Graphical Improvements (GameStop)

[BSUFAN]

Exactly, Many are spoiled by today's games. Heck I was just happy to play my real life baseball players way back when on my Commodore 64. I never worried about graphics, number placement, seat arrangement or color , grass or dirt ect.

Wow, that actually doesn't look half bad, especially since I'm guessing it's a turbografix16 game.

P.S. body types and jerseys are also not a problem to me, but for slightly different reasons. Unis look fantastic in this game, and I don't want to see this game go the same direction as the NHL series did, where they way overdid uniform movement and now all the players look like they are in a slow motion wind tunnel. Also wasted all of the cycles assets and came out with a mediocre product.

Exactly! I grew up worshipping SNK's Baseball Stars, any graphical improvements beyond that are gravy.

The picture I posted was from a game called Star League Baseball. I played it on the Commodore Vic 20 I think.

So a yearly focus on 1 major visual department is great.But I can help but say that the game is played on grass... and the grass looks the same as it did since 14.

The wide shots from broadcast. The infeild hit and outfield hits cameras show a blurry grass. Grass should be more of a solid color not as patchy as it does.

The surface reaction to materials is great but if grass isnt up to par first then those things fall by the wayside.


Football soccer games have had issues with grass and so does MLB The show.

However Fifa 15/16 tackled their impression of grass very well. Madden i thought would use EA's findings or development from Fifa 15/16 but they didnt.

A long horse from the PS3 era Pro yakuu spirits tackled their infeild grass very well and their game ran fairly well.

MLB the shows has had framerate rate issues this gen. Not being able to get a actual 60 fps per yearly title release and no patch to my knowledge helped MLB 14 or 15's framerate. there were stutters. I mention this due to possibly the grass being the issue. Where the focus is on fidelity or the blades of grass that it effects the over movement and handling of resources when we get into infield outfield play.

a more consistent look to the grass an non patchy one perhaps would be for the better good of the game as a whole.

I say this all in the betterment of the game . i miss mlb 2k7's awe factor for the time. I dont get that awe factor anymore with any sports title and YET were supposed to have more resources for making the games look better?

As good as this yearly graphical upgrade is im left unawed even though i can tell ppl will eat up screenshotting the "little details"

I just wish the biggest detail was addressed.......

THE GRASS PPL!

Wow, this place is filled with such animosity over the slightest voicing of opinions.

I grew up in the 80's and dealt with poor graphics, landlines, and boxy looking automobiles. Times change, mates. It isn't wrong for people to wish for improvements, especially if done so in a respectful manner.

Is it not possible to love this game, respect the developers which make it, and point out areas of it that some of us wish would see improvement? Why is that such a hard concept to grasp for so many of the people here?

Yet another thread completely derailed by patrons that can't handle a game they like being criticized or others voicing their opinions; bravo, Operation Sports.

I agree with you it can get crazy on OS sometimes, but the guys that posted pics of the old games and how the graphics use to be aren't out of line, they are just stating their opinion on why they don't have a problem with the graphics of today.

Ummmm.....the thread is titled "graphical improvements".......meaning here is what WAS done to improve the game......the derailment ...if any...is on those those that brought up,once again....what we already knew wasn't worked on in '16.....kind of turning it into a wish list thread,yet again.
