But just because the trailer didn't highlight new commentary and AI fixes doesn't mean that they are not in the game.

People are assuming that because something wasn't shown in this one minute teaser trailer in December, then it must not be in the game.

I can't wait for Ramone's rewind, revealing the 479 new additions we missed in the teaser vid.

The sad thing is that your logical statement will be completely overlooked by the people that have derailed this thread.

If the next trailer is just a series of bloop singles or dipping line drives falling for singles then that would probably get me more excited than Retro mode. Some proof that the physics is fixed so hits to the outfield don't have to be line drives in the gap would be pretty big for me

We should actually try our own. We wrote some things here and there, but try and point out as many "little things" as possible that you think others missed.

Is that going to be released this week?

Not making any assumptions about things not included in the trailer, but one of the things included in the trailer is the graphics. And they look pretty much the same as last year. To be honest, outside of the new legends and old Yankee Stadium, this trailer could have been made in MLB 16 and I wouldn't have noticed. As someone who feels like the gameplay is already 98% perfect, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed that we are going yet another year with out a big leap in graphics, especially in the player model department. I'm sure the rest of the game is great, but I was really hoping for better graphics this year. Unless there are big changes happening between now and release, I'm starting to feel like this game will only have 'decent' graphics for this entire generation instead of amazing graphics like previous generations.

Haven't played '16 in a while (hell, outside of recently diving back into Ratchet & Clank I haven't played any game in a while), but the crowd really seems to have gotten a boost in self-shadowing and such.

I noticed the animated jersey cloth immediately, though. Will it flap in the wind? Time will tell on that. Hopefully it's not as "light" as MLB 2K7, but considering it contorts with the body is a big plus for me.

Would I hope for more? Of course. You're right that from afar somebody might not be able to differentiate one from the other in screenshots alone, though that cloth did stand out to me in motion immediately. If this gets a big PS4 Pro boost for 1080p television owners and comes with a bundle though, it will be hard to resist the urge to jump on that too.

I think animations will be getting a big up this year, especially from certain stars. They seem to be getting in more strides and swing types.
