It seems like they think THEY need to entertain us. I chuckled a few times but that's not why I am logging in to watch this stream. Would like to see them be a little more professional and give good information on the future streams, especially the franchise stream.

Not sure what's confusing. That's exactly what he said in response to this post.

Nice attempt at calling me out but I promise you I'm not the only person on the forums who is ok with the graphics.

I was responding to a different quote.

Don't like the catcher throwing meter. Anything that pauses/slows down the action is a step backwards, IMO. Unfortunate that it's tied to the other throw meters.

And thumbs down on the slow motion during the tag. Sure hope that can be turned off.

Thumbs up on most everything else, though.

That's fine, there are a lot of people who don't see anything wrong with a lot of things. I wasn't taking a jab I just don't want people to minimize someone else's wishes or requests for change. I do agree with you on franchise mode tho

Haven't been able to watch the stream, are we able to turn off the catcher throwing meter?

Yeah it's tied into all of the other meters you can turn off.

I know the post you responded to. I pointed out the post he was responding to to explain why your trolling attempt was quite obvious.

As I said, it's simple.

The post he quoted asked how anyone can look past the graphics. The post you quoted was an answer to that question. Your response to him was completely irrelevant. It would have been relevant if he said no one cares about graphics in response to the post he was quoting.

I'm glad they will be supporting the Pro and can't wait to hear more about it.

Adding to his question because I only saw GIFs of it. Do you know if the pause before the end of the meter is actually what happens in the game or was that done for effect and in game it's fluid just like the normal throwing meter.

So I'm trolling because I want the graphics improved?

I can't answer that unfortunately. I hope it was just to show off the meter because personally, I don't like the slow motion effect.

I wasn't minimizing anyone's wishes or requests. I was answering Tomba's question.

Anyways back on topic I'm loving 8-bit retro mode!!!!

No sir, not what I said at all, but not going to derail the thread. PM me if you would like.

I personally am not crazy about the graphics myself. It's okay to have criticisms of the game.

We're cool. I agree, constructive criticism

This stream was all over the place and the information was scarce. They should have stuck to the script, because they were horrible at giving information and showing how that translate on the field. Humanity A.I. was glossed over and offered no examples, it was a complete useless bullet point. I came away more informed by the video the other day than the deep dive.

They really need to rehearse and stay focused on the information and examples. Today's stream made me not anticipate the next stream.

so so so nice to hear about physics and just how it's worked for years. I haven't bought this game since 11 just because the felt sooo off to me. it never made sense to me that hey we added a few more hit types... What? It should be what it is based on physics, not pre-determined.

And as excited as I'm starting to get, I'm a little saddened that it took them this long to change/fix this. Actually boggles my mind, it's the year 2017 and now we get proper physics????? Am I missing something here? Is this something so ground breaking that they are the first team ever to have proper ball physics? No other baseball has had them? It sure hasn't felt like that to me, but I could be missing something.

Also I don't quite understand 100's of thousands. Does that just mean 100,000 - 200,000 types of hits? If so, why not just say it?

But whatever, I finally excited for this game again!!!
