No the see thru fence was removed in real life.

For people unenthused by the graphics in this trailer, keep in mind that the graphical deep dive isn't for another month and a half (3/23) where things like "grass tech" is on the schedule. A quality update to the grass rendering would be a game changer, imo.

It's a good idea to keep [respectfully] submitting feedback (i.e. the scorebug thing that they're working on) in the meantime because the devs are relying on our eyes and ears, but there's really no need to pull out the disappointment card just yet. I'm almost certain that the shading, colors, lighting etc is nowhere near what the final product will be.

That said, it looks like we're riding with essentially the same build of player models for '17 unless SDS is totally reserving a massive surprise for later. No chance they have enough time to build new models and sync them with new animations in the dev time remaining, but updates to uniforms, some more variety in body types, and maybe some uniform wrinking/texturing seems like a reasonable expectation to hope for on the player model front.

Corrected. Would be nice if they had a green and white sign tho on game to better match the fence.

see, this is where in my opinion is something they are working on behind the scenes, but they probably work on it from time to time until they get to a part where they are comfortable to implement into the game. like lets be honest, upgrading the player models and animations to work with those player models is a massive undertaking.

Well all I've cared for years is improved physics. Liking what I'm hearing so far.

Still not sure if I want to buy before renting. Just in case it's BS.

I would love to see a nice 5-10 minute video in batting practice and silence. No talking, no music, just the sounds of the game. And regular batting practice, just you and the pitcher.

But props on at least doing something about the physics.
