Kind of off topic, but I actually wouldn't be against sports titles moving to a two year cycle. Give us a roster update(maybe even chargeable) and continue support during that time.

I seem to remember a PC baseball game I played in the 90s(high heat or hardball) that did that once or twice.

I don't really think its a case of people not liking the game. It's more a case of people who do actually like the game but want to see it push the boundaries of next gen technology. With how amazing some of the other sports games look, I think people were expecting a bigger jump in graphics from what we saw in the trailer.

I get that a lot of people think the way it looks is fine. But it's not fair to discount the opinions of others who think it should look better at this point into the current-gen consoles.

Maybe the more we see, the better it will look.

I understand the opinion of those who say the game looks the same as it has the past few years. Some think it looks good and others think it needs improvement, neither side is wrong in their opinion.

What I don't understand are the opinions that the game was nothing more than a roster update the past two years or the claims that X, Y, Z hasn't been fixed or isn't in the game simply because it wasn't shown in the one minute trailer.

Plus 14's graphics are not nearly as a crisp. This is the year I finally upgrade though. Was going to get 16 on sale, but I'm just going to wait for 17. Needless to say, I'm pretty excited.

Anyone who tells you the last two games were roster updates hasn't been paying attention.

16 blows away 14 in so many ways. Too many to list. Just too many. But the ball physics, hit variety, far better fielding controls, and plethora of better animations alone smoke 14.

Couple in a better feature set in Franchise mode with a very cool player morale system, a much more streamlined user interface, far easier contract resigning, and expanded stat tracking, radio show with scores and game stories around the league in the franchise menu (implemented in MLB 15 and made better in 16) as you look through stat's, scout and set lineups etc.....if your a hardcore baseball console gamer 16 is the best baseball game yet.

IMO The Show continually improves year to year in so many little ways that is add's up to a better experience. I have not gone back to past games since the jump to the PS4.

But most importantly, IMO they have such a passionate and transparent development team who truly listens to our feedback and tries to make a game that is well balanced, feature rich and incredibly fun to play.

Just sit tight and pick up MLB 17. It will be a huge jump for you.....trust me.

I don't feel feel that way, I think there have been improvements. But I guess some people feel like the things they wanted to see improved weren't improved enough for their liking. So its sort of understandable where they might see it that way, but there have been a number of improvements. Sometimes gamers get jaded. See a lot of FPS games.

Me: You could just tell them............

Me to Me: Naw they can wait for the rewind

Me: You know they are going to ask when it's coming right?

Me to me: Did I stutter?

I just finished watching GT Sport videos and that game looks fantastic! I am looking forward to that it. I don't think I would be if they previewed videos from GT6 to show off a feature. MLB 17's release is getting very close and I hope with ALL I have that Sony SD is holding things back, ready to hit us with excitement in a few weeks. But I've been playing video games for a long, long time, and I have rarely seen a company do that.

Did GT6 come out 8 months ago? Have the past 6 GT games all come out once per year? Why don't you try a comparison that actually fits?

I wasn't saying that you're one of the ones that feel that way. What I was getting at were the posts in this thread claiming that something hasn't been added or fixed simply because it wasn't in the trailer.

Like I said, I understand the opinion of being disappointed that the graphics/player models are the same as previous years. I'm not of the same opinion, but I truly understand that there are those who are disappointed and I respect their opinion.
