[Bullit]

Ok. We have heard from the Developer (s). This thread is about Presentation and Commentary. Lets get back on that topic or I am just going to close this up.

There's no way this is 100% true and they themselves proved it wrong this year. For years the Mariners teal jerseys and the Red Sox red jerseys were too dark. This year on OUR fan feedback they were able to brighten both of those jerseys. Is our fan feedback in the style guide? Highly unlikely. If they can brighten those two jerseys and darken the Pirates black jersey among other color brightness corrections then they can brighten the Nationals red jersey. They literally just haven't done so but that doesn't mean they can't. And please don't tell me the Nationals have maroon jerseys in the style guide because there's no way that's true.

Last time. Stop with the jerseys. Ramone has said artwork is closed. This is the Presentation and Commentary thread. I have let you guys have your say and let this go longer than we should. I know everybody is excited for the game. But just stop. Move on. Back to topic.

I had responded to the post that I responded to before finishing the thread and reading your warning to get back on topic. Wasn't trying to step over you. Just clarifying. Apologies.

"Art freeze" doesn't mean "everything freeze." Just because they can't change the artwork at this point doesn't mean they are completely done working on the game. They aren't lying by saying "we are working on it." People just interpret "it" to be whatever their particular nitpick is about. We now know that "it" does not refer to artwork.

Personally, I'm glad to hear it's in art freeze...if I had to read another post about the Indians' sock colors or the Nationals jersey being 5% too dark....lol

Some posters in here are happiest when they're unhappy, if that makes sense.

I am glad they don’t. That will give the uniqueness to the MLB package.

I think I agree with this. It's mostly an aesthetic thing anyway and it gives the MLB Network just a little more 'big game' feel.

Hopefully it continues into replay a bit (that's what ESPN MLB did at least).

So pretty much everything that I mentioned is in the tagged sections. I didn't see facade anywhere, but then again I don't think I saw a facade anywhere either. We'll have to wait for Safeco or Miller Park or something to know that much.

I also noticed that in Chicago they specifically said "bleachers" instead of stands, but does the game's art reflect that? Are there bleachers in place there, now? Or are they still seats? I might have to check out older Wrigley videos and check it out. I would hope the same for AT&T Park as well.

Which reminds me, I pine for the day of either getting a real announcer for HRD (instead of the PA guy), or have the PA guy have "tags" as well for his calls in HRD.

It's really an underrated mode that I don't think gets the limelight quite as much. Since the time of day progression has been instituted in this game, HRD never was given that treatment. I think I understand why, though (how is time going to pass for a batter on every pitch, unless you want it to get dark in like 20 pitches? So I see where they don't quite have that down. But I do hope we can enter manual replay someday!
