Flickering Outfield Handrails

[eremiomania]

I notice this a lot at Progressive Field and other parks in different areas, but at Progressive Field when the camera is panning, it looks like the handrails in CF are flickering. I've noticed this for years and it's very distracting. Is this a frame rate issue? Do other people notice this as well? I thought it was my old crappy tv but it does it on my nice tv now too..

Indeed I see it too at progressive field. I actually feel it is worse than it used to be. I haven't seen this kind of aliasing in the Show since the PS3 version. I don't know what is going on either. During the wide shot of the stadium there is a lot of shimmering and dancing around the Indians logo atop the scoreboard. Initially I thought it was the "running" lights around the logo but is was just aliasing. It has been distracting so far.

I noticed this also when playing in Astros stadium, the outfield fencing causes this. It seems maybe they could add a "roughness" value to the fence on the texture maps to reduce this?

Yes! The word shimmery nails it as it almost appears the railing has glitter in the paint. The pixels seem to be turning on and off randomly like glitter drawing my eyes to an area I never noticed in previous versions. I agree that this needs to be toned down. If increasing a lighting effect created these type of artifacts they need to back it down. This might also fix what appears to be mild frame rate issues. Game doesn't feel nearly as smooth as I remember.

Honestly this is the first time I've had any complaints like this with The Show on any system. It has always been smooth.

I really hate these kind of ignorant comments. You clearly don't know the dev cycle.

I don't think you understand how QA works. QA finds and reports the bugs. They don't fixed them, Devs do. There is a project manager who will decided which bugs get priority. This is probably a very low priority bug to fix.

Glad I'm not the only one.

I guess it does seem worse this year than previously in Progressive Field because it is really distracting, but honestly I've noticed this every single year going back to the PS3 days.
