Adam any chance you guys fixed the leftfield corner at Safeco field the fence goes straight across. They moved that old scoreboard back you had that right but didn't fix the wall.

That was great news about the alt jerseys. I'm surprised there wasn't any franchise mode questions asked during the stream.

Something I noticed, there were a ton of DD questions.

Just goes to show you that the OS community is very small compared to the overall MLB The Show community in that a large majority of OS cares little about DD and is focused more on RTTS and Franchise.

This leads OS'ers to wonder if DD is even that popular, even though we've been told each year it is among the most popular modes. I think this stream is showing us that to be true.

Hopefully the developers see this and can do something, but cespedes stance was much better in '16 and Pablo Sandoval is not fat anymore. He's actually super fit. Saw him in an earlier video and he was fat sandoval

There was many asked. They just cant answer those yet. This Facebook live stream felt more for the casual Show fan then for us here at OS. They answered very basic questions and much of it we already knew.

I think Cespedes stance last year was pretty bad too actually.

The card collecting modes in all the sports games are easily the most played modes, I've got friends that only play ultimate team in fifa and it's like that for the majority of the people that play these games worldwide
For me I've never really had any interest in playing those modes, I always plan on getting into them when the games come out but I never find the time with all the franchise modes I play

Agreed, I just wish they could make them in a more fluid fashion. It looks like they blend multiple animations to get into one and it looks kind of unnatural.

Rly? I thought it looked pretty good. Had to be better than that though, right? I think it's that front leg

Since I see developers lurking in this thread...who could I share some Marlins-related changes with?

Which aspects are they related to? Uniforms? Stadium?...

So far the game looks great and the animations look a lot better, especially pitching.

However in this video it looks like when Noah Synderrgard pitches from his full wind-up that the release point animation looks bad and the ball glitches or morphs out of his hand. This was a much bigger issue with earlier years of the game but still existed in the last few years and from what I remember Noah's delivery was good last year. On the other hand Wei-Yan Chen's release looks almost perfect from the pitcher cam view where a lot of them had looked pretty bad in years past.

This morph is also visible in the Diamond Dynasty video that the Show put out where Noah was throwing.

One way to get the attention of a developer is to use the official bug reporting link. There is a sticky for it.

Or maybe here...

Maybe before everyone gets their panties in a bunch ( work in progress ) it was a two week old build we saw we haven't even seen the final product and we have at least a month to go.

On the topic of uniforms, any news in regards to them fixing the Jays and White Sox Alt uniforms to get rid of what looks like white stitching?

Since it seems Lorne_SCEA is an artist, maybe he can look into finally getting the flag court at Progressive Field updated. In the Show 15, the updates to the park weren't even in the game. In the Show 16, it was updated, but with 3 American flags, not the Ohio, US, and city of Cleveland flag. We made it to game 7 of the World Series, so there should be plenty of references to find the correct flags. Its been 2 years since the renovations, don't you think there was enough time to correct a minor detail? Please fix our flags. Lots of Indians fans would be greatful.

That the one on the left sleeve? Bugged me for years seems to be a weird graphical bug that appears on coloured jerseys.

It's weird, I've played hundreds of games with the Jays and never even noticed the white line in blue jersey
I've seen a screenshot of it on here before so it must be there but never seen it myself
