Even if the games graphics are similar to 15 it still will look pretty but I'd be kinda bummed if the whole pbr hype was for naught.
Well, remember this is still work in progress. A few weeks to work on the game. MLB 14 didn't get the lighting done until the very end during a stream. Look at my painting and how I showed the progression. The second to last picture looks done, until the uploaded the final finished one. That's pretty much what we are seeing in the https://www.facebook.com/timtindall8...&type=3streams
The link is the best way I can show how I think how we are seeing the streams every week.

Also we are seeing streams on a computer. Probably losing picture quality. So These streams look great on a monitor, imagine how it's going to look finished on your hdtv set up. What we've seen already is a huge jump from last year. Plus the new animations add to the realism and makes everything look better as well.

Clay/dirt looks awesome. Grass not so much, pbr looks incredible in behind plate and along the stadium

I know what Ramone said about pbr, but I'm definitely noticing a lot of texture improvements.

Ugh, more modes but no working weather including real life rain delays still. They are still missing what is in actual baseball.

Weather is in baseball. Rain delays, rain outs, double-headers. We should have that option if we want to follow and play what is actually happening in real baseball every year.


It's time for me to start skipping years. Yes they are the best in the business but it's been at least 12 years or more since the last baseball game had working weather on the much older systems. How do you ignore what happens in real life baseball? They are getting the little things down every year but missing the biggest ones of them all.

There is a reason why stadium roofs are open or closed. How many more years if at all will we be given that option to play with working weather either on or off? Play F1 2015 which has amazing weather features that impact the game.

Rain delays, double-headers, rain-outs, changing wind conditions all impact pitching rotations and stamina plus strategy. This is the next level for the Show!

Yes, I definitely agree with this

Yeah, I feel like grass won't look good for years, if they can even make it look real this gen. Looks like a blurry still photo from most angles, with an ugly tone of green. Maybe one day it'll look as good as FIFA grass.

WIP is real.

Edit: And Correa.
Edit: Got rid of Colby Rasmus's beard as well
It's almost as if we actually listen...

I want to see Citizens Bank Park so bad really hoping it got a lot of fixes in.

They should sign Ramone and the Ign guy to do the play by play. Ramone is excellent as the color guy (aka Harold Reynolds) and the Ign fellow has a heck of a voice, reminds me of Dave Flemming.

I'd like if the game is overcast, it could start raining.
If it gets too heavy the umps can call a delay. Then next scene it shows the pitchers and their stamina is down. So it's up to you to get a new pitcher or keep him in the game.
Then have it when you press x to enter a game, it can say game delayed, make up double header, or even make up game on this date. Then If it's a double header you have to decide who plays in which games, because players will be tired for game two. I think it would be cool to have.

So no Pbr for player models?
 
# 37 headzapp @ 02/18/16 05:24 PM
I like how the ump called safe at first base.

Idk, but I have seen some different things on players too. On a they players that wear chains I have noticed that they look more realistic this year. They also showed a close-up of Brad Ausmus and his hate looked like a different texture this year.

This out of position logic seems a bit flawed. In the stream they put Bryant at short and it affected his fielding ability. With the shifts that teams put on, the Third Basemen plays at the short-stop position frequently. So putting Bryant at short shouldn't give him such a negative hit in ratings. Bryant also played has also played the outfield, so he he is very athletic. It's a great feature but it could use a few tweaks.
