HOLY %$%$

That is not MLB The Show is it?

That's a real life dug out!!!

# 222 tnixen @ 01/20/16 04:56 PM

Is PBR just for the dug outs or all other parts of the stadiums too?

I think PBR will finally make MLB The Show look like a true next gen PS4 game!

I am not saying MLB 15 The Show looks bad but it does kind of still have that PS3 look if you know what I mean.

Come on bring on the Fact Sheet!

# 223 JayD @ 01/20/16 04:59 PM

Ramone, I know this is a very small detail but could you give me any information on if behind home plate at Turner Field has changed at all? Especially the ad boards?

I believe everything... Stadiums, fields, players, equipment, etc.

PBR is also good for getting drunk on the cheap. "Heineken? **** that ***! PABST BLUE RIBBON!"

but seriously, he did talk about it in the reveal walk through vid, it sounded like their goal was to have all surfaces using PBR. In the reveal trailer they just had one dugout shot where it was turned on. I'm thinking they are saving what they've got cooking for a dev stream...

Rangers are adding a second Videoboard above the left field side of the office building.

Already been posted way back.

# 228 Godgers12 @ 01/20/16 06:12 PM

So any news on sortable league and career stats? Some input from Russell would be great.

What I said in another thread, yes I'm quoting myself

	We will go much deeper into PBR later in the cycle can't really do a deep dive in an 6 minute video. But it was only turned on in the dugout because "game development" and that trailer had to be finished a week before PSX. As I've said in the past our game visually will move along the same path as PS3 did where it took us about 4 years to reach visually maturity. I'm not saying it will be in year 4 where on PS4, nor am I saying it will happen in year 3 either. We simply don't have the time and resources to do everything in year 1 or year 2 for that matter. Every year is a new layer and this year it's PBR last year was Seasonal Sun/Shadows. Etc..... Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is The Show.

Lol it does look really good, but if you look carefully, you can see that it's the Show.

There are the little things, like cups stacked/spaced too perfectly, and the scratches and stains on both coolers matching exactly.

Also there is the fact that the coolers say THE SHOW on the lids.

I feel kind of bad pointing those things out, it's not meant as a critique. It's a phenomenal photo and I can't wait to take some pics in game. I'm just the kind of person who finds it fun to find all of the minutia in a photo like that.

Those pan overs to the dugouts in game are going to look fantastic.

# 236 WaitTilNextYear @ 01/21/16 12:34 AM

Pic of Royals' dugout looks good. The textures have taken a step forward. You can make out wood texture vs more shiny textures. The coolers look like they'd feel plastic-y if you touched them.

I think we're all eager to see what this does for player models, stadiums, and uniforms (if anything). Plus, I always like people tossing the term "cloth physics" around, lol.

For one thing, they won't have the vast majority of the music that I want to use. I also won't pay for music that I already own.

It's actually quite possible that not even Sony themselves know their future plans.

I don't understand why you think SCEA would not be telling us the truth when they've been truthful to the extent they could for so many years.

For years we've asked for closed roofs. We were very specifically told it was something they wanted to add into the game but wasn't feasible at that time. This year we got it.

Id they knew the future of the feature, based on their past, what makes you think they wouldn't be honest with us now?

# 238 ryan36 @ 01/21/16 01:23 AM

I'm actually super excited to play in a closed roof at Safeco this year. I've always wanted to be able to

Yep also after years of questions Russell finally gave us an answer on why we haven't seen create-a-stadium either.
