Also I don't see any signs of MLB Network in any of the videos so far.

Perhaps they are just hiding it from us?

Also I wonder if they still have more then 1 scorebug like they did in 16?

guys, i think i know what UNIFORM SETS are..

in the video, you can see the 10 slots but underneath it you see that if you press square you can change individual items..

i think the uniform sets, are just the full version of the uniform, already there for you.

Too bad they didnt update Kluber's delivery.

Also - Has anyone seen the IGN video Ramone talked about yesterday? I cant find anything.

I just feel like they are going to surprise us with an MLB network score bug. They just look too similar.

Russell, I noticed that when you generated the players that all wear generic cleats. It was the same way last year. I know we can go in and edit them ourselves but it becomes a project when you need to do the whole league.

I saw hit types in this one video I have never seen. The lighting looks like it's a step up and just the little nuances of the game are incredible. Is it me or does the path of the ball from pitcher perspective look more authentic. In any event great job!

I saw Adidas fielding glove on one of CAPs. It is at 3:00. Player models are much improved along with animations. Batting stances look real good and Hayward throw from outfield at 15:25 looked great.

Hopefully this will be changed before release otherwise we will be stuck with it. EDIT: Like Ramone said this isn't the complete game, but I also noticed only 10 uniform slots still as well. Holding off judgement until the uniform sets stream next week. In the video the Indians have Home Home Alt Home '19 Home '76 BP Home Road Road Alt Road '19 Road '76 BP Road

The 10 slots was one of the things that jumped out at me.

Very disappointing.

I hope RttS gets this update as well. RttS generally doesn't get the same stat overlays as Franchise or Season Mode.

So you think the OSD, is just a presentation package and not part of the "inside edge"? I was thinking Inside Edge, because the pitcher had only thrown about 5 pitches and the stat line was like 4 for 8 .500 2k versus.

# 51 SoxFan01605 @ 02/15/17 12:57 PM

Man...Cano's face. Right off the bat I was like "whoa!"

Lots of good stuff here. I love the CAP options and player graphics, obviously.

Ironically though, what stood out to me quite a bit graphically (and, admittedly, it might seem a little thing on it's own) is the cleats. It's not just the new brands (hurray NB!) but they all just look so much more like real cleats. There seems to be more texture depth and difference.

It's similar to the stitching on the hats now...everything just stands out as more defined as their own materials. I guess this is PBR now being better applied to players as well? Whatever the case, things are starting to look very good.

My only real question is how carried over CAPS from 16 will be impacted. Hopefully they aren't simply imported as is and can benefit from these changes without being completely altered. If not, I guess it'll be time for me to completely rework them, since the old models look especially dated now.

# 52 BlacknBlue @ 02/15/17 12:58 PM

On the curving hit down the line in the first inning, it looks great until it hits the ground. The ball should keep spinning on a hit like that and turn after it hits the ground on a path that sends it to the foul territory wall much faster.

And not that I probably will ever use retro mode, but having no replays in it is kind of lame, to me.

Also, they still have that catcher animation where they slide feet first to retrieve every passed ball and wild pitch. Was really hoping they would have changed that.

Could be that Ramone didnt want to spoil that part yet, since this will be talked about in the stream on the 23rd.

I think the entire broadcast presentation will be like watching a game on MLB network. Stat lines included. Is this what you are asking?

That just made me think about how we're getting all this amazing news on graphics and gameplay, it made me forget about the new presentation package and two new commentary guys.

This year is looking kinda amazing for the Show.

I'm just guessing here (kind of wish ramone or someone could give us an answer), but Ramone did say in the interview they removed those 17 heads we have now and replaced them with the new 49. Judging by that everything will have to be redone from scratch. I hope I'm wrong here, but as of now that's what it looks like.

# 57 ShowTyme15 @ 02/15/17 01:59 PM

Players obviously have more facial expressions now. When they show Robinson Cano's face in the editor you can see all the facial movements he's making.

# 58 catswithbats @ 02/15/17 02:01 PM

I thought I might sit out MLB 17 because I wasn't sure I could justify the money... No way in heck I'm sitting out now. I'll scrape the funds together.

I would actually like that. Now you have to change all three (cap, jersey, pants) if you want the (for example) matching throwback home uniform set.

# 60 ShowTyme15 @ 02/15/17 02:08 PM

I see they added a "catcher style" in the personality section.
