Are you trying to say the grass and dirt in RBI Baseball 94 for what I believe was on the Sega genesis looks better then the current grass and dirt in MLB The Show 16?

I do agree though the grass and dirt still needs major improvements in MLB The Show. It needs to be more vivid and vibrant for one thing.

Nah, they gotta show homers for the IGN and GameInformer plebs. They don't get exciting about popping out and grounding out like we do

I still get excited in MLB 15 when I strike out on a foul tip into the catcher's glove.

Gotta say it's totally awesome that the devs willingly show pre-release builds to the community and get their feedback! Pretty much every other sports game developer ever can learn from The Show crew

There is and it seems split up between the different parts of the gear from the equipment screen they showed. What I am wondering though is if they added any color options since when they added licensed cleats I don't recall if they added new color options. Anyone comment? As far as I remember they added in licensed equipment, but kept all the same color options.

Yeah they kept all the same color options.

I wish for at least the batting gloves, they add a specific color option for just the logo.

This is true, but it is sad that they do technically have a point. There are a lot of players every year that get generic or generated faces so their concerns are not without precedent. The hope now is that if they post early enough maybe their favorite player will get some attention before release. We've seen it before. I remember a few years back I posted about Matt Kemp's stance being off and shortly after a dev said they worked on it. A big one I remember was when the pitch speed would not get displayed on the score bug when you had pitch callout off, that got added in late too which was exciting. The scorebug may have been changed in MLB 15 to not include that though, but at the time it was cool to see the devs notice issues people had BEFORE release and get last minute fixes in.

We just had some posts about how some players seem to have gotten the "fat" body type. Maybe that gets fixed in the off chance that it was not going to get fixed anyways. The game has so much stuff in it that some extra free play testers can't hurt. Every day I see Ramone or other devs check in on stadium threads, etc. posting they'll look into it. Why waste such valuable interaction with developers? If we sat back and just thought, "It's a WIP, they'll surely fix it" many thing wouldn't make it in each year. Like Ramone has stated, they are a fairly small team and even gives shoutouts to the forums like OS/ShowNation on streams.

True. I know it's still a work in progress... But, it has been 2 years now, 2 years!!! Hopefully Ramone and the other guys can fix Abreu's face this year. Like you said , I keep bringing this up, hoping that they take note on it and fix it. Besides I'm not talking about an average player, this guy is the best player on his team.

Having a face scan isn't up to SCEA. I'm not sure why the process isn't understood yet since it's been posted over and over.

Yea, they have to have a face scan first before they can fix it. But look at this way, if they have a scan and are still working on uploading them, then it will get fixed. If not, they don't have a face scan or the are using the best one they have. If they don't have a scan they can't just run down to ST and scan him and get it in this year. They do face scans of players a year in advance.

Don't like how the tandem team animation's only work between the two specific players,if either player is traded or moved in the batting order the animation will never be seen.

Using the example RR used in the stream,i would rather the the animation be just tied to donaldson's batting stance and any player hitting behind him could do the bautista shoulder brush or the animation could be tied to bautista and he does it to whoever hits a HR batting in front of him.

Would rather have the chance to see these animations more often rather than hope that if all the stars are aligned there might be a chance i will see a rare celebration. It might not be as realistic but as long as one of the players involved does it IRL i don't care if there are a couple of random players joining in.

I agree, but for realism purposes it doesn't make a ton of sense unless the Blue Jays do this for whoever is behind Donaldson. If Bautista is the only player that does this, then it makes sense how it is in game. Feels like a wasted animation and something that would be cool to put on your RTTS player as well. But for authenticity sake I have to concede and say it makes sense that it is tied to the two players if they are really the only ones in real life that do it.

Can you explain how the process goes, because I don't really know, pardon my ignorance. Is it face scan like on the FIFA games? Why then Abreu is the only one in the team for 2 years now, that does not have a proper face? He does not want to go take the pictures or something?

All you need to know about the process is that they can't compel anyone. If you grasp that concept, the individual cases are irrelevant. Why would you even consider buying the game when you so easily assume the developers are lazy?

Where or when did I said that the developers are lazy? I'm pointing out the only complaint that I have about the game. I didn't buy it last year because they didn't fix Abreu's and Cespedes's faces, which unfortunately for me are my 2 favorite players in baseball. Cespedes is actually from my hometown in Cuba. I have the game preordered this year. I love this game, please don't get me wrong.

The devs show up at a teams ST facility and scans the players who were there that day. I think it's optional so a couple guys might have declined and a couple of the guys who were absent they don't get scanned either. Maybe Abreu and Cespedes said no? or they probably weren't there or if they did get scanned maybe they have one of those faces that gets screwed up for some reason when doing these types of things.
That's what I think they do not sure though

Staying on topic with the body types, I noticed in the Franchise video that Miguel Sano has the 'fat' body type as well. By no means is he in fantastic shape, but I truly think he falls under buff more than fat. Hopefully there's a chance it can get fixed, but if not, no big deal.
