Seeing that its the same commentary again, can this series try to get gary thorne for mlb the show 17. Every year im hoping for new commentary for this series and continue to be disappointed.

Noticed the speed rating in the runner's icon as the runners advanced bases. Pretty cool on the fly info. Like it

Joe Mauer was traded in exchange for Wade Miley during the Stream. Not a bad trade but don't think it would happen. However I'm sure they haven't even fine tuned that for release yet. Loving most everything that I am seeing in-stream

One thing that stuck out to me is that the Frisco RoughRiders still have the old logo? Ramone, has that been corrected?

# 86 lalblc @ 02/04/16 09:35 PM

Nothing new with stat tracking again i guess.

Ramone teased PBR on Twitter.

Here's a comparison shot from 15.

That looks outstanding! Hope they can pull it off and still keep frame rates up and such.

It's the reason why next-gen games like Star Wars: Battlefront look so good. In my opinion, PBR combined with higher resolution textures is what separates the Xbox 360/PS3 generation from the Xbox One/PS4 generation in terms of graphics.

Not saying that The Show is guaranteed to look as good as Battlefront, and maybe PBR won't be utilized in every facet of the game (like minor league stadiums), but I think it will make for a huge improvement.

WOW that is a night and day difference!

I did not realize PBR will make the game look that much better. Seriously if Sony can add PBR to every part of the game including the grass and dirt MLB The Show 16 might look more like a PS5 game then a PS4 game

lol

No joke those rocks look so real!!!

Could PBR even make the sky look better?

That is crazy, 15 looks unbelievably bad compared to that. If this is seriously how the stadiums are gonna look this year, then this game is going to look crazy.

All they need to do is work on player models for MLB 17 and the Show might be the best game graphically, not just sports game either.

I'm a Keystone Light man myself. But those graphics are amazing.

Honestly that screenshot almost looks to good to be a PS4 game.

If Russell was not the one to post that screenshot I would think it was fake

PBR looks like it's going to do wonders for MLB The Show.

Do any other sports games use PBR?

This makes me so incredibly happy. I always thought the rock pile could look better in game, but that looks way better than I could've imagined. Thank you so much SCEA!

Edit: There's even cracks in the concrete, that's just a ridiculous level of detail .

Good God, I am imagining an updated Progressive Field with those graphics and...well...something about new pants.
