MLB The Show 17 Video - Gameplay Improvements & Animations Expansion

[Lovesports]

Ugh I'm so annoyed. I hope these aren't the final player model builds. Unchanged for literally ever.

Thanks! Scorebug looks great, otherwise. Always a must to have the team logos in it, in my opinion.

Would be nice to have pitcher and batter stats on the screen as an option. A lot of broadcasts do this. All about getting the most info to the viewer in the most concise and clean way.

That catch and throw system looks like one of those small things that is going to make a world of difference. Can't wait to see far less of those unnecessary crow hops from the outfield. And that SS to 2B handoff in the video? Perfect.

That's to say, they took the jumbotrons out, but not the stadium lights. They were originally part of the plan along with the bullpens, but I don't know if ownership abandoned that idea or not. Maybe they'll be in 2018.

Also, after watching the video, especially the birdseye view of Wrigley at 1:07, the red and blue "Baseball is Better" sign in the rightfield corner has got to go. That is an eyesore to what should be a see thru fence.

Glad to see the small and big changes! Thanks, guys!

A few observations:

1.) The broadcast camera angle still needs some work as the backstops are too dark.

2.) Doesn't seem that the 3-6-3 double play has been confirmed. (The throw from the first baseman is definitely improved.)

3.) The grass still looks a bit sketchy... they need to look at how Madden did the grass. Right now it looks like there are oil spots on the field when the camera is zoomed out.

I'm a big fan of the new score bug. I think it's the white...I'd also love to see the additions of Pitcher/Batter names in the score bug and then remove the abbreviations while just using the logos to differentiate the teams.

Looks okay. Some much needed changes, but still too many just bad animations (specifically the slides into bases). Hopefully those can be improved upon next.
