It seems to me that it would be a bit stupid to have only the fans in foul territory be able to catch balls... I'd be willing to bet my paycheck every fan can catch any ball, home run or not. I doubt there is a separate coding for a foul ball or a home run and more so just coding for how fans react to it in general.

Here's the quote:

Quote:


	The crowds in the PS3 version were comprised of about 42 different models, so you will still see some copies out there. Now, since the PS4 has much more power, the crowd is made up of over 1,000 unique models. Each crowd model is made up of the same polygon count of a baseball player in the PS3 version of the game (and they’ve even included kids into the crowd now). Crowd members will now catch foul balls and be able to reach over and grab fouls that roll by. They’ll also hold signs up, and those signs will be contextual. So if a player starts heating-up, you’ll probably see some fans rooting him on in this manner. Furthermore (this is for the Operation Sports crew) the Pitcher can now pick up the rosin bag and throw it back down.

Seems pretty clear, no mention of home runs.

I get your reasoning here, and that it doesn't say home runs... but seriously, think about it. How stupid will it look if there is an imaginary line of fans from the foul pole over who can catch. I just cannot imagine this will be the case. A ball in the stands is a ball in the stands, foul or fair.

We'll see.

But there's nothing new here. This is a 2yo complaint and then suddenly , 1 month away from release you pass it to the art team as if it's a brand new prob found?

Everytime someone was complaining about it here they got the same reply over and over again "sorry it's 'cause of the mlb style guide"

What's going on now with the style guide? Can it be bypassed?

It was never about the style guide, that's just what people with no knowledge said it was about.

I'm almost positive i saw a post by Russel_SCEA saying they didn't have a jersey in house to look at, so they just went with what blue they thought was most correct. Or something like that.

I think they're referring to foul balls that are on the field (the ones that fans reach over for but seemingly never touch).

I'm hoping they can catch balls that land out of play.

Eh, you're right now that I read it again. I'm sure they can catch home runs too then. I'm not certain, but I think there can't be much of a coding difference between the two. Can there?

Especially if the hot sister says she's about to break up with her bf for you in a week or two...

I agree, except for Lebron... his mouth gets just a little bit too big... its weird lol

I thought they already caught HRs in 13?

Meh, they'll reach up and it will actually land somewhere (instead of "going through" like back in the day), but it bounces around a lot as well most of the time, as if the fans completely missed it.

It was when talking about MLB 13, but yeah - that was said. They may have received a Blue Jays jersey since then, of course.

Thanks for finding the post, and that picture really goes to show how off the color is, hopefully the team can do something about it before release.

It's very simple we looked at this two years ago when the complaints first started. Colors and material react different depending on lighting artificial or natural, bounce lighting, etc........... We couldn't get a jersey in the studio to varify the color tone. So our artist did the best he could.

Kirby hasn't been with our dev team an extremely long time and he's unaware of things that transpired in the past. So he does what everyone on our team does on these forums see an issue bring it up with the responsible parties and we see what happens. And yes the MLB style guide is king it's not the artists job to look at photos on the internet. It's their job to go off the style guide.

But the color of the jersey isn't due to the style guide, you can change it if you wanted to, so why not at least attempt to change it.

Just make it the same blue as the Royals and regardless of lighting, if it were that color, it'd look 100x better.

Is there any improvement or difference in how the PS3 version handled balls into the stands?
