They only reason it looks like there may still be 10 slots and nothing more is the way it's listed.

If we had 2 extra slots one would think it would be like this

I have a hunch that we will be able to edit undershirts this year. I know Ramone won't deviate from style guide, but maybe he knows that is a loophole. Because just changing the undershirt adds a whole lot of options. There are too many uniforms inaccuracies due to style guide being off. I feel Ramone wants to fix it for us.

No worries man I know what you mean. I'm holding out a little bit of hope myself. We'll see what happens next Thursday.

Many Online franchise guys thought it could be abandoned because it's gone untouched since it's debut in MLB14. Good to see its there. Really hope it gets some love this year.

I'm not sure if it's already been mentioned in this thread but I noticed one thing that may haven't changed in CAP.... primary and secondary positions looks to be the same. So I'm at least hoping they have more options for the positions

They did add a few more. I'm pretty sure the new ones were listed by Ramone in a reply in the out-of-position defense thread.

I find it interesting that in all the videos they have shown so far the commentary is off.

I have a feeling commentary may finally be good enough where we will not want to turn it off after a few games.

Commentary being turned off is expected when they have two new additions that they don't want to reveal yet.

Yes what could that be?

Here is another screen shot in case anyone missed it

Back to the Cleveland BP pullovers in a strange twist they got the 2017 BP pullovers but the cap they paired with it is way off as its the 2015 cap...

Here's the uniform in game...

Here's the 2017 BP ST cap...

Here's the 2016 BP ST cap...

And here's what's in the game, the 2015 ST cap...

Ah found it. Thanks. They are the most common secondary positions missing so I'll take it!

Hmm...create-a-player isn't what I thought it was going to be. I thought when they said 40-some new templates they meant 40-some actual face scans of anonymous dudes. Eh, no matter; still plenty of massive improvements elsewhere.

49 new head archetypes and we never said they weren't based off real Player geometry. Soo eh no matter

Not sure what you were expecting, other than maybe some kind of face scan app (which has problems in itself), but this is an absolute improvement. It's not like you need to hope that one of the 49 is your doppelganger.

But here is a really bad looking photo of Target Field on the internet: it's overcast like the previous one but not as accurate: This photo is a weird green for one, and it has no detail or anything else that would help someone texture grass on a field. It looks greener than the game for sure, but the color is totally off from real life. It is overcast in this photo, but there is a haze over it and the grass does not look right at all. It's much more vibrant in real life even when overcast. A touch darker possibly too. This is clearly a bad photo not worth taking into consideration. Now here is one that more resembles what one might actually see at Target Field in real life on a sunny day: You might have to adjust your TV, but at 32 color my calibrated set shows the second photo to be much more line with reality on normal day in the spring summer or fall when the sun is out. It's still not very good detail, and the color is not perfect, but a decent random shot from the internet for easy and fast looks right now. And to me it doesn't look that off from what I see in reality at the field. The second photo is what I hope at some point this game is striving to hit. Or even more accurate with much better quality photos even. We really need that pop and realism back on the fields. I believe it would do wonders to sell the game along with animations and tuning the front end graphics. When you get this a bit more on the photorealistic side more people are going to come on board as they always do when graphics blow minds. And right now it's kind of stuck in a bad gear in this one area. Kind of like your 'eyes' last year. Those were pretty last gen looking. But now this year you guys have amazing eyes in the players. It makes a big difference to me and a lot of other people.

Another excellent post, fully agree with you.

I have bought every edition ever since the ps2, and will buy '17 as well but do feel that it always had this washed out look.
You can see the same in some uniforms, the Red sox red ones, and the Pirates black which also looks kinda washed out.

I always try to compensate this by adjusting the colors on my tv but it can be improved only so far.

Love the game and will continue to support it but really hope for some improvement there. (seems so simple to me but then again : i know nothing about making video games)

Looking forward to the 23rd for more info.
