That hit variety looks amazing. This may totally change everything. Looks like 5-10 balls in play will go from outs to hits this year. Plus, with more human AI, 2-3 singles will turn into extra base hits now.

I will have to wait and play it for myself against the computer before I can judge the new ball physics as I only seen two maybe three different hit types so far .. I am hoping we get alot more variation of the ball of the bat then we have had the last 6 games of this series !!

All you really need to do is pay attention to AMD at this point and when they go to a new nanometer node for chip design. It all depends on the level of gain. The PS4 launched right when it was pretty obvious to many in the tech crowd that there would be huge gains to be seen in a couple years with the move to 14 and 16nm design.

Who knows if that will happen with the PS5. I sold my PS4 OG for 280 on Ebay months before the announcement of the PS4 Pro so I got max cash even with the free. The upgrade was very much worth it to me.

I've always wanted more realistic hits, just didn't know exactly what could be ddone about it.

If it wasnt a rope liner or a dribbler, hits were hard To come by. I'm excited for hooking/slicing balls down the line, and bloop singles. I play the show a lot, but I'm not good enough to be able to pitch on Hall of Fame difficulty and regularly give up 6 or less hits. Will add a completely new feel if you ask me.

The Arrieta sleeves are promising, as minuscule as it may seem right now. Just goes to show the level of research and implementation they are capable of.

As for Heywards new stance, it looks off from where it was last year. I know he has been re-tooling in Arizona all offseason, so maybe they noticed something I haven't.

All that being said, I'm going to buy this game and play the crap out of it, just like every year. Too much nit picking would make the GAME less enjoyable, but to each their own.

I don't know a lot about tech I just know a lot of people said when ps3 came out it was pretty powerful for its time and that ps4 was kind of weak for its time when it came out. But considering we have never had something like this happened before when it comes to a mid gen upgrade there was really no way to know if this kind of thing was going to happened. When it comes to graphics on this game they should be much better though. Mlb ps3 was the best looking sports game by far. Now on ps4 it may be the worst. We may have to wait for ps5 for this game to really get a big upgrade in its graphics. Then what? Is mlb on ps5 going to look more like a ps4 game? The game really does need to have a jump in graphics because it is like easily the worst part of this game. Its game play is just about perfect out side of CPU management when it comes to pitching changes.

Getting back to the stream, I was really hoping to hear that Retro Mode would be online.

Boy I can not WAIT for the moment when they tell us that they have put back regular season stats for the batter EACH time they come to the plate. Rather then only showing their stats for that particular day.
