We saw them talk about how the Human IK Engine helps prevent the sliding feet issue with pitchers, but does it also help with the sliding feet with batters in the box?

I don't think we will see the final build of the stadiums until they introduce PBR in the graphics stream. Any stadiums they show at this point are probably to show off other additions (dirt infields, retractable roofs etc.)

any chance to have an 'on off' option for the portraits?
i hate doing a fantasy draft or making trades then i get a cyberface versus their actual portrait.

Like to see Brewers vs Mariners in those 1980's style unis they used last year! Every promotion the Mariners are doing this year involves those slick unis!

You do realize that those unis most likely won't be in the game right??

# 286 vidgames @ 02/11/16 05:32 PM

The Mariners most popular unis not in the game? That makes a lot of sense.

They are worn on Sunday home games only. The Show has limited uniform slots that they said aren't changing. The mariners other 2 alts are worn more regularly and probably wont be replaced with a jersey worn on specific dates.

But before we get this thread of track we should use this thread for these convos http://www.operationsports.com/forum...6-jerseys.html

But I was with you Nick, I was listening to what you were saying.

I thought the same thing. Not for the same reasons, but I wanted to know too. I was a little disappointed.

Was there any mention about equipment that we have on this years players that when we transfer over from 15 to 16, will we be able to keep that same equipment ??? Anyone know ??

I preorderd from Amazon and got 20% off as a PRIME member. Though I'm still considering cancelling that and going digital, even if it does cost full retail.

Does any of that apply to franchise mode? I will get the game but I'll only preorder if I see a benefit.

Stubs towards more franchise budget

Also, sponsor cards in the packs. I think the MVP or Digitial deluxe even has a sponsors pack as a bonus. Though maybe that is not a preorder bonus, just a bonus that comes with those special editions of the game.

Pretty sure TheShowNation.com has all the details about the preorder bonuses and what comes with the special editions.

One thing that would tremendously help the amount of doubles/triples is correct ball physics on hits down the line. The ball should continue rolling away from the fielder, but it actually moves toward the fielder (i.e. back to the field). If this could be corrected, that would have a big effect on getting correct outcomes on balls hit down the line.

If it's that fielders won't take those good routes, that means the programming is purposely making players field poorly which is fine for poor fielders. I welcome that. If that's the case, why is it called better routes?

I think they mean "better" as in "more realistic"

I'm pretty sure i heard that it won't transfer over.

If it's an SCEA player they will get whatever equipment they were assigned this year. If it's a CAP they will keep everything as it was in 15. Same with deliveries and stances. At least that's how it was in 15.

I wonder if their photo would be updated as well?

And yes, I'm aware of masks that look like this: But that isn't what's being represented either. You can select specific colors for six different parts of a batting glove, but you get one classic catcher's mask, and it's tan and tan only. I just don't get it. Year after year after year.

100% agree with this! I have asked SCEA multiple times to add the ability to edit color of the catchers mask and cannot even get them to respond as to by they won't or can't.

Another thing they need to update are the team jackets that the managers and pitchers wear.

Sony did not have enough time to get it in this year. I am pretty sure they want to do it and I bet anything its on there list just not really high on the list right now. But I bet it makes it into 17.
