That was a great video. The players that were made just by using the random button looked good. Can't wait for the OSFM roster to come out so I can start a new franchise.

Huge change if I'm not mistaken they finally got the Indians collar piping the same thickness as the sleeve piping so I'm praying it's fixed for my Marlins as well. Don't like the ST warmup jacket pullover things in there, would rather have the BP jerseys or the Spring jerseys. There are 3 now and I feel like they chose the least useful one as the one they chose is not for game use. I love the listing of the uniforms, I love the specifying of the year of the throwbacks and I love that a player models it and that uniforms are already combined and that picking individual while still available is only an option because it's not always necessary. And I love the improved coloring of the uniforms as well. Also, I'm not an expert on the Indians can anyone confirm based on the video if the socks were right or wrong in this one?

There are no BP jerseys anymore (real life). They are now pullover half sleeve sweaters.

These are replacing the old BP jerseys.

You're right I stand corrected. So in real life now they have the BP pullovers and the spring training jerseys. And while I know the majority of spring training jerseys are just regular in season alternates that have different numbers and names and spring patches on the sleeves I'd rather have that in the game because when I play a spring training game my team could wear those. The BP pullovers will never be worn in a game so it's odd to include them in the Show.

Another quick thing about warmup jerseys, does anyone know why we can't use warmup jerseys in the Practice mode? Players don't do batting practice in their home white jerseys, if we can't select the jerseys for practice mode then the warmup jerseys should be the default setting.

One thing that concerned me. It didn't look like you could mix and match uniforms. You could only choose a home set, home alt set, road, road alt etc. that's going to be very disappointing if you can't mix and match.

Uniforms were listed as complete sets for convenience BUT at the bottom was an option to select uniform elements individually by pressing square so yes you can still mix and match.

I prefer it this way as mixing and matching should be an option but not the default setting.

Yes there are ST jerseys (ST Jerseys are normally used as BP jerseys, but have now been replaced with the pullover sweaters.). Hoping the ST jerseys are actually in the game and not the pullover. Most ST jerseys are alternates for teams in real life. The only problem is with the way the slots are set up teams like the DBacks wont have one to wear since their red alternate was int 16. KC Road alternate is their ST top in real life (Just using KC as an example for now).

If I had to guess the reason we can't use warm ups in practice mode has to do with uniform slots.

But the video at the this start of this thread showed the Indians with the pullover and not the ST Jersey, not sure if you caught that.

I hope you are right about the spring training jerseys being in. It would be a major letdown if they didn't make it and those pullovers did. I feel like our only hope for certain jerseys like the Twins new red jersey from last year and the Giants black jersey to be in is if the new spring training jerseys from last year make it in. Since they didn't add any uniform slots.

Yes I caught it (go back to like page 3 I replied to drans' post). Like I said in my previous post I hope they add the actual spring training jerseys.

I was pointing out that if they aren't put in most teams ST jerseys are alternates in real life (minus the ST patches obviously) and can be used as a substitute, but some teams like the Dbacks would be SOL if the uniforms are still the same in 17. That's what I was trying to say. I wasn't saying you were wrong so if you though that then I apologize.

(closest image I could find to The Show but still slightly off)

I noticed that the Cubs batter box lines were not degrading. I hope this has been fixed this year.

I'm not saying they are in, I'm saying I hope they make it in. As of right now they aren't in 17 based off the video posted this morning. The pullovers are in instead of the jerseys.

Sorry I wasn't trying to imply that you said they were in, should have worded it better. I was more or less agreeing that I hope they were in and I would be majorly let down if they were not. I just can't fathom they would add the BP pullover considering they won't actually be used for games. Sorry I just want that Twins red jersey!

No worries man. It's all good.

Damn, looks like Team San Diego's been working their collective butt off.
Or maybe Sony quadrupled the size of the team.
I've had my ps4 for a shade over 3 years now and now I'm finally as proud of it as I was my ps3.
The player body model sliders... words cant suffice how I feel.

You would really need to find pictures that are under the same conditions to really get a fair comparison. Just the top comparison pictures you can tell it was from different times of the year because of the shadow on the back stop wall in the shows version. Time of day also factors in quite a bit. The only thing i really want in those two compairsons is the camera depth and angle, but also i can agree that a bit more vibrant green would put alot to rest.

Looks like some very good upgrades. Sure would be nice for roster makers if we could assign/edit service time this year.

I spotted them too. The cleats are always going to standout. Especially with Bryant rocking generic cleats in 16' It looks there might different ways you can color the Adidas or maybe a style or two.

I noticed you can move the batter/pitcher in the box/on the mound in retro mode. Will we be able to do that in other mods, or just retro?

Just a retro mode thing.

Those faces look incredible, what an upgrade!

That art style on the pitching meter looks odd to me, feels like a step backwards from where it was.
