Although kehlis already spoke about the fact that people have different wants, I can say two things about this matter (even though I have not spoken about them myself):

1) The developers have made mention for the past couple of years on how they have the correct sun orientation for every field, so if they are off by a substantial amount then I believe that would be a legitimate concern, no matter how big or small you feel it is.

2) If a sun is going down in center field in any stadium, that is a problem by design.

That's what I did when I played with it. Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk

Thanks for that info I would definitely like to make a custom camera off fish eye.

How do you make a custom camera?

I also thought the same. If I recall when you enter replay the field doesn't rewind back to that state. If the dirt got messed up during he play I'm pretty sure that same messed up dirt will show when rewinding. Sort of like how you see the on deck batter as the current batter in replays. Not sure if was ever fixed, but in one stream I definitely saw the future dirt issue. Some fudging has to be done for replays and that is probably even more true for slow motion.

Our sun positions and movement are all based on google satellite data.

Hope the foul ball slider finally works. Too often, playing against the CPU, I'd have 8 plus pitch at bats, even with the slider turned all the way down.

That doesn't mean the slider isn't working as intended.

Anyone figure out how to make the new default camera angle that's shown in the 16 streams for 15? Love the new view, I'd like to see if I can recreate in for TH15.

Unfortunately I don't think the '15 cameras will swing out that wide.

You can't do it in 15 or 16. We don't give you control over focal length.

# 190 Turbojugend @ 02/24/16 05:03 PM

Ramone, are you able to comment on the frame rate in cutscenes involving the crowd in 16? Has there been any optimization?

# 191 countryboy @ 02/24/16 05:03 PM

Are dive backs during pickoffs still automatic or can I control them?

One pet peeve is being picked off without having any control over it.

I haven't watched stream so I apologize if this has been asked and answered.

# 192 tessl @ 02/24/16 05:13 PM

Another interesting thing I remember from the stream - a trade slide which increases or decreases the frequency of trades.

I thought after the patch the show 15 was pretty good regarding trades.

# 193 vidgames @ 02/24/16 05:14 PM

I had heard about managers advice in game...what exactly does this mean? I assuming subs?

Correct, that's what I'm saying. If there was an error, it wouldn't be on you guys.

(actually, the other part I was saying is if it was wrong, there is reason for a legitimate beef if it was stated otherwise, and it's not just "nitpicking" by that crowd)

Thanks for the quick reply Russell. Love the new view, can't wait to see the others.

Is pbr on the grass going to make it in the game? I feel like the weakness that make me remember this is a game is the grass when not at ground level. Also wish they could figure out how to give the grass a true shininess base off which way the blades of grass were cut. Does that make any sense?

The grass texture was good in 15 but it would disappear & leave a flat green diamond every time a pitch was thrown.
I was expecting it to be patched over the cause of the year but unfortunately it didn't make the list.
Can or will this be fixed for 16?

# 200 Lovesports @ 02/24/16 06:33 PM

Russell, are awards tracked in player cards? If not, are previous awards tracked in the same way as 15? The last three years of winners? If so, can this be expanded in the future?
