Even the way taking bad routes will really cost you, not just in getting the ball but making good throws as well and those double plays just BEAUTIFUL.

I had been just fast forwarding through the pitching/defense side the 2nd half of 2016 the show just felt stale and mechanical to me but I can't wait to get out there so to speak.



Yep. It's making The Show 16 hard to keep playing right now lol.

I agree it looks like they finally got the grass and dirt as well looking fantastic!

On my 4K it looks colorful and vivid and now it's got me wondering what HDR will do to make it look even better?

Better yet how about Microsoft sends over Forza Motorsport 6 to PS4 and then X Box One gets MLB The Show!

We will no longer be seeing 4 year old girls barehanding 100 mph liners. Looks like fan graphics got an overhaul.

Are you say the fans in the stands also got a graphics improvement?

I'll have to pay closer attention to that the next time I watch the video.

It seems as if fans may have been enhanced in the same way player faces were enhanced. Lighting has improved everything.

But as far as their movements go, I thought I noticed a new animation when they all went to catch a ball on the left field porch at Target.

Here is the exact moment the MLB network package cover was blown. The look on Ramone's face was priceless.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but did anyone else notice how great the cleats look this year? Higher definition scans, PBR to the material? They just look tons better.

I will say this. They have to add more Cubs and other teams retro uniforms. I mean they give the Cubs an all white and all grey uniform, but no 1908, 1919, 1944, hell the 1978-81 blue with pin stripes road uni doesn't even make it in. I don't know how hard it is to make jerseys, but more is always better. Get rid of the generic 1902 all white and grey ones. The Red Sox have those too besides other teams. That is a wasted spot.
Games looking great otherwise.

Bet those uniforms are not in the style guide

Yeah, they no longer look like cartoon feet. I hope they ditch generic cleats completely...

I'm big into retro uniforms too. And I wish they would get rid of the all white all gray super basic looking uniforms from the early 1900s and add more 60s -00s. I'm very surprised the Cubs still don't have blue with red brim away cap from the sosa years.

My one minor disappointment is that the Show has never used the Indians all red uniforms for the 1976 road throwback uni that is in the game. In fact the game pairs up that red jersey with gray pants which I don't think is accurate (not sure the Indians ever had gray pants from 1975-77). But overall the game looks great. Really enjoyed seeing some of the animations on defense shown.

Yes the lighting on the buildings looks absolutely great this year. Hope that window reflection bug is just a WIP issue and wont be in the final game. Ramone said art freeze was yesterday, so hopefully this was from a slightly older build.

HOLY COW!!....3 things:

Awesome, Awesome and more Awesome....no but seriously 3 things...

1) Sound of the ball off the bat - it just sounds so crisp and real.

2) The Shadows - love how it looks as if it can really affect you when your batting and how the shadows have progresed through each inning

3) Catcher Cam - i thought i was not going to like but i can see myself using

I consider these 'the little things'...great job. Can't wait Monday for the commentary/presentation stuff.

I keep saying we will see Statcast in there.....and with it showing bat speed after every hit, it pretty much seals that thought for me.

guys from Sony have you ever considered leaving the score clock on during fielding?
