Admittedly, I wasn't able to watch the live stream yet. I know folks said they saw issues w bunts still being too effective, but how did manual outfield play look? Do we still see line drives going through your OF?

I don't think they ever controlled the outfielders.

I'd like to see them remove the attribute bars under the numbers. I can't see any reason for them if the rating is displayed numerically.

I also realize this is an early stream so I hope to see it all have the WOW factor during the graphics stream.

I hope this does not make people without the PS4 Pro hate me but I really have a feeling the grass and dirt will look much better on the PS4 Pro then the standard PS4. And also "HDR" I think should really help make everything look more color accurate and photo realistic. Good news is I think the standard PS4 supports HDR too.

Just a feeling that is all

I am not sure it is pointless. I don't think the devs put in or intended to put in alot of time on this mode. They mentioned they wanted to include because of Griffey. I have been playing video games almost 50 years. That is probably 30+ years more than most people on these boards. Many probably have never heard of Magnavox Odyssey. My point is I don't think many will play this mode because most people playing today weren't even alive or old enough to remember consoles like Atari 7800. Even though I enjoyed video games during that era, I would never go back to that era. I do like the ability to play games in the stadiums from the 90s. And although MVP Baseball was great for its time, I would never go back to it either. I got bored "watching" retro mode after 5 minutes.

If it brings in a few more fans to the game then it is not pointless. If it allows me or anyone to have friends over who do not own the game over and lets to jump into a fun head to head game without me dominating then it is not pointless.

It also seems like some people seem to believe that a stock PS4 has unlimited graphic and computing power. It wasn't even comparable to a good gaming PC when it came out 3 years ago.
Ramone says there is plenty more room for graphics update. My only "gripe" is that the player models are not next gen. Just not sure why that is. But I suspect there is a good reason (unrelated to memory) why they have not been able to unleash that graphical power thus far?

My main area of criticism is just a small thing and I will piggy back on what Tnixen said about it. But I realllllly dislike the "early, perfect and late" words that now appear in regards to the timing on the pitching meter. Very unnecessary clutter. Otherwise, keep up the fine work guys!

if this was the only gameplay stream I figured its worth asking now,
has anything been done to analog pitching by chance? felt a bit too easy to master last year even on the highest difficulty, just wondering if there were any tweaks to difficulties and interfaces options in general.
