Yea I just don't know how one can say the difference isn't substantial to say the least.

I can see the eyes are different (like with the scanned players), it just seems to me like the facial possibilities spring from the same general groundwork as before. I dunno, maybe they'll look different when the skin tones are fully installed, as you said they weren't yet in the video.

Pardon my nitpicking, it's just that CAPs have been my favorite aspect of video games for as long as I can remember, so I tend to be very critical in that area. Everyone has their little "thing"; you won't hear me critiquing minor uniform or stadium things

Looks amazing! Also the new "cap style" option relates to how big the hat/crown is essentially.

The actual players look a lot better, but the CAP faces do not seem as improved. While Ramone was randomizing they all seem a little mutant-like, weird bulging eyes and unrealistic looking features. Though I have seen the same sorta thing in other games with similar character creation and through manually tweaking sliders are able to make something adeuqate.

I am guessing that will be the case for MLB 17, though I do think their will still be a noticeable difference between the quality of CAP's and actual face scanned player models.

I actually use CAP system for historic rosters. Some guys make some amazing caps. They're gonna look even better this year.

The Dbacks have 11 different uniforms slots which is nice. Looks like the BP Jerseys did make it in rather than the ST jerseys.

They actually have 12. 10 from last year and 2 additional slots for the 2 alts that were left out.

Noticed those hats weren't in there. When I checked Wiki, they weren't there either, but all the ones in The Show 17 was.

Yea, I noticed that was missing too. I also cant tell if they got the real Home hat in. The hat they have as the home cap is actually an alternate cap. The home cap is solid black, the alternate has that red pattern at the top.

I'd be interested in knowing this as well, and if the Fernandez 16 patch will be on their jerseys.

And as far as the new eyes go, I'm no longer creeped out. Instead, they are just beautiful.
Well, as beautiful as any mans eyes can be lol
