Wouldn't be a tease if you gave out all the info right? And I had to be very brief in the rewind for flow and consistency purposes. But just know there's a lot more to this.

Really looking forward to hearing/seeing more on this.

Awesome news on ball physics, much needed! I hope to see more bloop singles between outfielders/infielders, line drives curving away from outfielders, etc.

Ramone mentioned ball physics like being as if they were straight off a wall in previous builds, I hope they make the CPU more human-like and not know EXACTLY where the ball is going to go when it bounces off the wall. I always misjudge this and give up triples meanwhile the CPU perfectly fields a scorcher off the wall and throws me out at 2nd by 10 feet.

Ball physics are huge and yes it'll be a big step forward if we get some form of dynamic ball physics when it hits the wall.

I know it would be a tough balance to please the customer base because I'm sure those who play DD don't want some crazy bounce costing them a couple runs.

So...um...who is Sony Interactive Entertainment?

Thanks Ramone for the insight. 17 looks great, March can't get here soon enough.

Same company, there was a restructure though around release last year.

Any chance of seeing Vladimir Guerrero back in the game? Lol

Anyways, this sounds promising. I know everyone's been high on The Show because it does have the most consistent gameplay, but for me the series has stagnated since entering this gen, mainly with Franchise and RTTS. Here's to hoping MLB 17 feels fresh. I put down MLB 16 before the All-Star game even came around...

Im curious if interleague games will rotate this year? Also, really anxious to see how SunTrust Park looks, and how much of the Battery and the surrounding area they included.
