I definitely pointed out the flags being wrong last year in either the stadium thread or maybe on the Show website forums.

If you can't get this fixed this year can you please make sure the Indians wear red socks. I know a ton of us would really appreciate that.

No confirmation.....but based on feedback from our community I am 99.9% certain it will be back.

I also noticed that the Progressive Field logo is still missing on the backstop.

Speaking of which, the baserunner window is a perfect example of this game being WIP. They obviously (or likely) won't look the way they do right now when the game releases.
I can't figure how to turn off these icons no matter what setting I choose in the options (including the manager tips that show up...didn't get to capture that)...notice how the baserunner icon is even in the throw back from the pitcher to check the runner scenario...also happens on no doubt foul balls into the stands (didn't used to be this way). I use auto baserunning, auto fielding (manual throwing), auto defensive shift...just hoping for more options to get stuff off the screen for a better representation of broadcast look.

Here's another example from PYS and the Show with Yu Darvish. I still think the main difference is the Show not capturing how pitchers tuck their glove in as they pitch and then not getting the finish of the delivery down either.

For the love of all that is holy..please stop the umpire from fiddling with his mask every pitch!

While we are on Umpires,

For the love of God and all that is holy, I pray they kept the umpire introduction OSD they added back in for MLB 16. Was great to see that and know what plate umpire as well as crew I had for that particular series (without having to pause the game and see it in the game log which ruins immersion). For me it is important as I love knowing when I am going to have to deal with Clyde Washington and Woody Keller.

LOL.

I would like it to go one step farther. I'd like to see the umpires for the game on the lineup screen. That way you know going into the game what you have to deal with.

I agree I mean the way it is in 16 Sony might as well rename fast play mode to "Super Fast" mode and presentation mode should be renamed to "Fast Play" mode!

Honestly there is no normal speed presentation mode in MLB The Show 16 as far as I am concerned!

In general all the umpires need some more in between pitch animations.

That's incredible work by PYS.

Even more bewildering, the one where the rosin powder explodes is from the VITA, no less.

I would add please get the umpire personalities to work. It was a great concept, but the umps simply did not ump consistently to their stated personalities.

I noticed in the video that Will Myers is swinging a Mizuno bat.

I'm the biggest fan of MLB The Show but I got to admit those player animations in PYS sure do look better then MLB The Show 16.

Hopefully someday MLB The Show reaches that level.

I hope their fielding gloves are in the game too. That's what I used when I played.

I'm going to comb through the video again in a little while and see if I can spot anymore new equipment.

THIS. Pretty much every pet peeve I've had with deliveries for the past 5 years or so. Even the older deliveries that I liked (MLB 09-MLB 11) seemed to have problems with tucking their gloves in.
