MLB The Show 17 News Post

Player Faces Have Greatly Improved in MLB The Show 17 (Polygon)

  09:05 AM - February 14, 2017 by tree3five

Polygon has posted a new MLB The Show 17 article on the improved player faces and lighting we will see in the game this year. These improvements will also be seen in Road to the Show, as the team has bumped up from 17 heads to over 40.

Quote:
It's all about the lighting on the faces, how light affects the skin tone and how light affects the skin tone when it's being shadowed by a ballcap," Russell said. "The lighting we had last year wasn't perfect, and we were basically dimming everything and giving you too much energy from nowhere, for a guy with a ballcap on. Now in real life, if you have a ballcap on, that shadow is being created, but you still have light energy coming from the ground.

They have also included a couple of screenshots showing off the faces of Clayton Kershaw and José Altuve from MLB The Show 16 vs. MLB The Show 17.

Well, then he has a pretty good looking face then without a face scan honestly. Wonder why he declined it?

How do you know he refused to have his face scanned?

It looks scanned to me, just not that good of a scan, it's definitely not a generic face. And i don't think the artist started creating faces from scratch (like Kris Bryant last year) until last year.

They have said that he wants nothing to do with the game.

Who said that? What was the post?

I always thought it was Todd Frazier who refused to have his face scanned? Then again, I suppose multiple players didn't want to take part for whatever their reason was.

Pretty sure RR, himself. The first year of the PS4 the devs told us.

It's not uncommon for player to not want to have their likeness used in the game or any game for that matter. I personally would love it but some players don't for whatever reason.

Yeah I mean obviously the real player will stand out versus the CAP's because they are real life people. Also, that stream for the CAP's seemed to be of poorer quality than the still shots of the side by side player comparison photos. Still though, the CAO's look MUCH better than previous years. The goofy mustaches don't help their cause though lol.

Not getting into this again, just read through what me and douggoud were saying

EDIT: one thing I will say is I understand that CAP are going to look different to the real players in the game, it's just that someone mentioned Ramone saying that these new created players will be tough to tell apart from the real players with face scans and everything
I just showed a side by side to show that's not the case

No problem, I just didn't want to clutter this thread with the same stuff I've already posted

I hear you. Who is replacing Edwin Encarncion for the Jays this year? Glad it have him on my Tribe this year. Josh Donaldson is a favorite of mine (war eagle). I'm ready for the show 17.

Agreed.

I know that Danny Duffy has been a generic face for years (maybe forever?). Seeing as how he'll likely be the #1 started for the Royals this year, I'm really hoping they got a face scan of him for '17.

The generics do look WAY better this year from what we've seen. I don't know if I'd go as far as to say on par with the scanned faces yet, but they are already a significant upgrade from '16 - and if Russell says they're still not done adjusting them, maybe they'll turn out even better when they go gold. I do fully expect the talented CAP makers here at OS to be able get on par with the scanned faces though - amazing talent some of you guys have.

There's no replacing what Edwin could do but I think Morales will do a good job and with JD, Bautista and Tulo the core of the team is still there

Hopefully some of the players who never had face scans got improved because Derek Dietrich has never had a face scan and his face has never even resembled Dietrich he clearly has Jacob Turners face. Also Brad Hand has never had a face scan and he has always looked like some deformed alien. If Mike Trout has never had a face scan but we can still tell it's Mike Trout I'm sure they can improve some of the other players without face scans.

CD guys brought it up a few years back (Ramone has also liked many posts pertaining to the subject). He doesn't have a scan the character artists have tried to do the best they can with his face, but you can tell it's not a scan. SCEA has also asked him to do some mo cap stuff a while back he declined. Maybe I shouldn't have said refused and should have used declined to participate. Like I've said before it's not mandatory for players to get their face scanned when SCEA shows up to do them. Who knows maybe he has one now, but in previous versions that isn't the case. Like Cory said it's not uncommon for a player to not want their likeness in a videogame or anything for that matter. I'm not going to argue or get into a back and forth discussion I'm just letting some people know what I know from what we've been told over the years.

That's very strange that Mile Trout wouldn't want to be part of one of the best MLB games currently around.

What I find even stranger is that he's the cover boy for a mobile MLB game and they used his likeness, can't tell if of was a face scan or if they just took a photo of him and put it in the in-game model. Regardless its just very strange that he doesn't want anything to do with The Show.

I don't know how true that is, i think the whole Mike Trout doesn't like SCEA has been blown out of proportion. Maybe he declined to be part of the game to the extent of cover boy status, or like Ortiz and Altuve.

But idk where you saw he refused to have his face scanned or anything more.

Sounds like SDS needs to wine and dine Mike Trout a little bit first and then do the deed. Go out for a nice dinner. Ask him about his day and really listen to what he has to say. Then toss him in the scanner.
