Not to mention the fact that we nitpick about such small things, just shows how much this game gets right that the only things to complain about are the tiniest details.

You probably feel that way because 16 is using essentially the same player models that were used on PS3, with minor improvements I guess. And since the player models are the main focus in the game most of the time, it can look stale i guess.

But there have been massive upgrades graphically to other areas, specifically stadium and lighting upgrades. And the difference is huge compared to last gen.

A center fielder shouldn't struggle at a corner outfield position, and most shortstops are capable of playing second and usually third. Then again, it wouldn't make any sense to play an elite defender like Kevin Kiermaier or Andrelton Simmons out of position, but if I'm playing DD or doing a fantasy draft and I want to put together a defensive super team with Kevin Kiermaier, Kevin Pillar and Carlos Gomez in my outfield, I'll be ticked if their ratings take a hit. I guess you could just change their primary position though. Overall I think it's a really cool feature. Good stuff!

I believe they said that similar positions are not penalized ....like putting a RF with no IF secondary at SS would be.

So a 3B playing at SS won't be the same as that LF/RF at SS would be....
Plus...it's going to depend on the initial fielding ratings as well....

This game looks great !!!! Does anyone know if the "foul ball" camera has been brought back this year ? I believe it was removed last year. I loved watching that camera as it somewhat tracked a foul ball into the the stands.

I think Ramone said in one of the streams or Twitter that it had returned on some foul balls, not all of them.

Don't quote me on this, but I think they said somewhere that they brought back some but not all of the foul ball tracking.

EDIT: Dalger beat to me it.

One thing I noticed though is the it looks like the Angels Stadium LF scoreboard logo is still wrong. The halo is still completely behind the A. Once I noticed it, I can't un-notice it. This is a shot I took from last years game, but it has been wrong in every video of 16 I've seen so far. Hopefully its being looked at and could possibly be fixed by release.

Yeah, this issue has been addressed.

While we're at it, his left ear should be a little lower.

# 74 Jaystar8083 @ 02/23/16 03:37 PM

Is it me or the wall behind the blue wall in left field at Citi Field should be like a navy blue or like a blackish color? Seems like the wall is gray especially when played during the day. Been like this for a few years.

I am really looking forward to getting my first look at Citizens Bank Park but I am also very nervous because I am afraid that once again so many things will not be updated.

Crossing my fingers that Citizens Bank Park got a lot of attention this cycle

Russell... Any chance you can comment about the sweat lines on hats? Just curious why it's still in the game.

What is so wrong with wanting to know why the sweat can not be removed from the hats? I think a lot of us here would like to know.

I'm not Russell but I have a theory - because people wearing hats while exercising outdoor sweat. I predict the uniforms will also have dirt stains on them because when the players dive on the dirt the uniforms get dirty.
