Played one game so far. Love the presentation now (most of it at least) and commentary is much better. Fielding is tighter, customization is deep, I'm finally getting some flairs to fall... all good talking points there.

PBR has also addressed a couple of my quibbles at AT&T Park regarding the backdrop of McCovey Cove and the Berkeley hills. I used to think the colors and lighting were "ignored" by the devs this whole time, but I realized it was a lighting/surface issue. It looks really good now, man. It's all starting to come together. The problem is that I think it's affecting my framerate, though. I know some people say they don't care about 30 vs. 60 FPS. Bros, there is a big difference, and it's not a pleasant one when it feels like we're going backwards there. Also not as impressive of AA as year past, though I can see right past that one when doing Remote Play. I hope I'm not the only one that sees this stuff. The rest looks pretty good, crowd included.

My other quibbles include all other balls hit to outfield that aren't flairs (that aren't fixed). This is because outfielders sprint to the balls coming straight at them too fast, balls hit down the lines don't cut enough into foul ground, balls hit on the grass don't die quickly enough, and some fly balls hang up in the air too much. This would still require an entire physics overhaul, so I didn't expect it this year. We're all good, though.

Only through one game, so I don't have much to say. But wow, my Giants are really well represented. I'm having a blast so far. Gotta knock on that framerate for a bit, though.

It's weird - In 5 days with the game I saw multiple balls go past the pitcher, then this weekend I saw 3 balls strike the pitcher (one put Tyson Ross out with a knee injury, so it's definitely possible, one was caught on an amazing backhand swipe, and the other plunked the pitcher's knee and went bouncing to the third baseman).

It's definitely toned down yet still possible to hit the pitcher. I think the key is that the entire "pitcher box" isn't an automatic deflection now.

PURPOSELY way less responsive as they have assigned pickoffs, the slide step and the 2nd base deke move to the L2 button as well.

Good to know.
Thanks!

So.

My very first game playing The Show.

My pitcher, Julio Teheran, goes out with an elbow injury after only giving up 1 hit in 4 IP (0 runs), with the note that he's going to have an MRI done. So, my very first start has my team's ace go down with TJS.

Since the BUG link is broken I found the problem with the stats.

The IN GAME STATS are wonderful and just like last years. The IN SEASON Stats are horrible. If the Boys behind the curtain can replace the SEASON STATS with the IN GAME Stats the software would be near perfect.

How is the bug link broken?

I did, I played a quick game with the Giants against the Royals and won 3-0, Baumgardner went 8-2/3 innings (1-hit ball and 15Ks!!!), before back-to-back walks caused Boch to come get him.

Casilla came in and shut the door on 3-straight pitches. It was glorious.

What was I supposed to see with Madison?
