MLB The Show 17 Video - Gameplay Improvements & Animations Expansion

[wisdom less13]

Budweiser was on the scoreboard in the past? I never played in Wrigley unless I was there in franchise. Perhaps it's a new sponsor?

That's not a photo from MLB The Show. It's a design concept from the proposed Wrigley Field upgrades.

Also, does anyone know when you'll be able to preorder from Amazon? I like getting the preorder discount they have for video games.

I'm waiting on that too. I've always been able to get it in the past.. hopefully it shows up soon. 20% is a nice savings..

Btw, the discount covers up to 2 weeks after games come out. So if you want to buy the game, April 5th for example, discount still applies. Just in case you didn't know
Late EDIT: I found it, really hidden inside their site - https://www.amazon.com/MLB-Show-17-S...=operasport-20

Now, I could be wrong BUT I did notice there may be a new player model where the lower body is thicker for heavier dudes. No joke - take a look at Narvaez, the White Sox catcher.

Although, in life he DOES NOT have that body type at all.

LOL at Frazier's shoulder pads at 3B. He looks like a linebacker.

People get ahead of themselves. There is a blog/vlog/stream dedicated to player models in March. I would wait until then to see what improvements were or were not made to the player models for '17. This is a 4 minute trailer that was created to provide a preview of the new gameplay improvements and animation expansion. We have no idea when this trailer was created and if any other improvements (player models, lighting, grass tech, etc) were at work in this trailer or not.

Old player models from 2010 have been an eyesore for literally years.

With respect to your point, player models would most certainly have to included in even the earliest of builds -especially marketing pieces like this one.

They're not going to hold those back like the high-render art elements like grass etc for later reveal.

That may be true, I have no idea have game development works.

But in this thread we have people seeing two different types of outfield walls and now we have some people saying there are no changes to player models and others saying they have noticed changes to player models.

I was just saying that if we waited until the blog/vlog/stream about player models, we could eliminate all the guess work.

Dan Uggla is not impressed

But yeah it does seem Arrieta's jersey sleeves are a bit shorter. It looks like the trailer could be a mix of old build vs newer build with glimpses of possible new player models in there? I might be in the minority, but the player models don't really bug me that much even though I'm all for updating graphically wherever possible. Like countryboy mentioned, I'm sure we will get more info on player models in a later stream.
