3-6-1 DPs, bunts and show throwing animations all addressed.

The Ball Physics are going to be off the hook. Hit variety will be a game changer.

I love that throws will be varied and depend on when you pre-load during the fielding animation, players arm slot etc. That will be a huge.

Humanity AI should be a big improvement! I want to see the AI and AI controlled players make mistakes (I use auto fielding and manual throwing so seeing my OF's mis-judge a ball off the wall will be refreshing).

The Catcher meter is something I will have turned off as I play with a totally clean screen. I wonder if I choose to have it off will the throw ratings be the dominant factor. Wonder how the dice roll algorithm plays out with the catcher meter off. I use button throwing with no meter in the field as well.

Game looks sharp as always and I can't wait for Thursday's steam!

Adidas being in brought a huge smile to my face.

I really hope they made batting gloves editable to the extent that they made fielding gloves editable.
The four categories for batting gloves isn't enough.

Yeah I saw it. That's gonna be huge. So Nike, New Balance, Adidas, Mizuno & UA all in. Not to mention the generics.

Assuming the physics, gameplay, animations, and Humanity AI improvements all behave as expected, that's worth upgrading from The Show 16 alone for me. Even if they didn't touch the graphics, features, modes, etc.

Loving everything I've heard thus far!

New ball physics will be a game changer. Bloops, Texas leaguers, top spin line drives, and curved shots down the line are going to be welcomed additions.

Also love the new Humanity AI, especially the timed step offs by the computer. That is really going to add to the run game.

Can't wait to hear more.
