Also noticed the Pirates camo was labeled "Digital Camo Alt" instead of just alternate 3 or something like that. Found that bit of detail interesting.

I really hope that those Pirates Road '78 uniforms were changed from last year. In 16, they were the same as the Sunday alts: yellow top, black hats, pants, and stirrups.

If they changed it to black top, yellow hats, pants, and stirrups, then we'll have all the necessary parts. I do hope those number fonts are eventually fixed as well.

I never thought there was a reason not to play the Show.

Good to see Chris Tillman won the Rookie of the Month with a 15-12 record in 15 games played. Makes sense.

Monthly awards do seem like a neat addition to franchise mode though

MLB2K has better commentary

its true lol

So there is one reason if there really needs to be a reason.

Although that may change with 17

Retro mode fielding camera is awesome. Add's freshness to an already great title.

Like the new monthly awards screen, hope that is the prelude to the history tab in franchise getting overhauled so we have a list of previous world series winners, MVP's and other awards!!

I think for a closer in monthly awards they should have saves under a different column instead of grouped next to wins. In the example it has 0-18 next to chris tillman which almost is formatted like a wins and losses record. It would be better to have that separate so they have just wins then a little formatting space then list saves.

A friendly note to the devs at SDS : Notice the placement of the number on the back of the uniform. It's actually pretty close to the name. Also on the front, see how close the number is in relation to the name. That is the standard for all teams wearing these types of uniforms. That's exactly what people have been asking all along. Hopefully, SDS has rectified this issue in '17. All in all though, this upcoming game looks terrific. So many things were added this year. Thanks to all for a job well done.

To everyone we are in art freeze what's changed is changed what's not won't be changed.

Were the Indians home uniforms frozen with red socks and red undershirts? [emoji16]

Or another example where they pull their lefty for a righty when facing a left handed bat or vice versa. Or one more example where the CPU leaves the stating pitcher in with over 100 pitches already thrown with a lead of like 9 to 2 in the 9th inning! If all these types of things will be greatly improved I will be so happy! And actually for 17 I hope each team managers manages the game differently!

Finally. This community has been asking for this for years.

Hopefully complete games and shutouts (pitcher confidence) in simmed games is toned way down as well.

I kinda feel little things is more hearing that PA announcer give accurate transit information to fans at the end of games. Or a particular way a player messes with their hat between plays or some weird subtle nuance that most people don't even notice but the devs put it in anyway because it's all about "The Little Things."

Calling general features of the game little things just feels like a broken attempt to...I don't know. Pandering? Is it pandering?

Da well. This is nitpicking at it's most picking nitty.

# 98 iLLWiLL @ 02/23/17 01:14 AM

Pirates black jerseys still look gray, SMH...

# 99 TripleCrown9 @ 02/23/17 01:40 AM

It's like people think he left with the old build, traveled for media, stopped by the studio to pick up the new, finished game, and then made this video.

I totally want to know too, but I feel like we just need to leave these guys alone when it comes to the Indians. It was said they will wear red socks so at least we get that.

Also, uniforms in general at this point since they are done updating.
