Not sure if this applies but the way the sun sets in this game is off. Not the position of the sun and where it goes down but where the glow remains for an inning or two afterward. For example in San Francisco once the sun is gone and it's twilight it looks like the sun has just dissappeared behind left center when in reality the glow should be in the opposite direction. Obviously not a big deal especially if someone hasn't been to alot of different parks but it's something that might be touched on

There was no mention of PS4 Pro stuff in the Blog Schedule.

It has me wondering if any of those new features like the new grass tech for example will be Pro exclusive or not? I am guessing they will be using the PS4 Pro when showing off the game in the twitch streams. I would bet there is a lot more new features and stuff that was not mentioned in this blog schedule preview so a lot more nice surprises to to come hopefully including HDR and 4K60 native support announcement.

Although I got to admit I will not be shocked if we are going to have to wait for MLB The Show 18 to see Pro enhancements.

There is wind in the game but it's only visible through flags and ball path.

The stiff jerseys are my number one issue with the current player models. If better cloth physics for jerseys that allow them to move in the wind and generally move around more loosely are included the player model improvements, along with more varied body types, then you will never hear me complain about the models again.

But until we get any info on it, I'll keep my expectations tempered to avoid disappointment.

I highly doubt ps4 pro will have exclusive features. It's going to be what maybe 10% of people who buy the game will own pro? Just not worth it for them. I assume they will have it running and looking better, but not any specific features.

Yeah there is no way they will have Pro-exclusive features, but if they were to confirm that The Show on PS4 Pro ran at a consistent 60fps throughout all gameplay and cutscenes, I'd go out and buy one right now.

I hope the challenge system has been touched.

Personally I wish they would either expand on it or just scrap it.

Carreer gameplay wise GREAT

Graphically? i think we've seen all the ps4 can do at SCEA

Agreed. Hopefully they can more with it, because in its current state it feels like little more than a novelty.

I would think the info about new player models would have been listed under the Graphical Improvements Deep Dive not Road to the show Deep Dive which has me thinking perhaps it's not really full blown new player models that we are all hoping for. Maybe it's just more things you can edit with the player models?

But if it is new player models with new bone structures, body types, faces, numbers moved higher on back of jerseys and so on then that will back a lot of us very happy around here!

It sure is fun speculating

To be honest, in a video game, it is more of a novelty. While it's cool to see the first couple of times, it doesn't add anything to game play. But then again, this is coming from someone that only plays RttS and haven't been involved in any replays (other than the HR thing).

100% agree there is a lot more the PS4 can do then we have seen!

Now that they do not have to worry about the PS3 things should really get moving fast as far as graphics go

Is this referring to road to the show, or actual gameplay? I would say rtts is far from great. Although this year's additions look promising.

Heck, I can only see a bit out of my left eye, and I know it's wrong! So Hyped, it's going to be a great year! PS, A little off topic, but the schedulemakers put the Yanks on my birthday July 15 at Fenway park, and I'm going for the first time to Boston!! I'm looking to get the best seats in the house, so any guys who have been to Fenway, please PM me your recommendations on where to sit!

Been waiting for the return of jerseys that move, like this:

EDIT: add a better video to show the windy jerseys.
