I love love love about the CPU pitcher Sub AI logic change, I just hope that the 1-0 in the 8th innings with only throwing 70 pitches and because a runner gets on base, CPU panic 'Sub out' has gone now. or the it's 8-0 the CPU pitcher is at 120 pitches but never subs him out because of the score being 8-0, or lets bring a closer out for the 9th every single save chance even if he is gassed from pitching the last 6 days

Awesome. I've been waiting for something like this for a while!

Really really impressed with the uniforms this year.

The Padres/Pirates late fixes are huge to me. Great job Russell and crew.

Not necessarily.

Yup. Looks like they fixed Astros 1990 retros finally. They aren't gray anymore.

Im curious if the jays are programmed in game to automatically wear those red unis on canada day.

The Indians have the same navy alt top twice, once with red socks and undershirts for home and once with navy socks and undershirts for home.

Hopefully this tactic gets applied in next year's game for the Rangers. Doing this with their white home jersey but changing the socks and undershirts would be huge for rangers fans.

Now we know this can be done so fingers crossed for next year.

I'm still going through the video but did they show any of the Tigers' unis? I'm curious whether or not the road throwback pullover was fixed (previously the jersey had buttons on it) and whether or not Los Tigres made it in.

loving the uniform updates now just hoping in online rated we can actually pick uniforms this year!

So the uniforms look amazing. Minor issues to address next year...

There are 3 missing caps, the Cardinals navy road caps and their home alt navy cap with the bird on the bat and the Dbacks red cap with the black snakeskin print on the crown.

The Brewers Friday retro alt and road BP caps and jerseys blue has been darkened but is still too light, it's supposed to be royal blue.

Giants orange alt seems too pale.

Some red jerseys and caps are still too dark such as all for the Reds. This is odd to me because some red things look just fine like the Indians 76 throwback. Not sure why other red things aren't as bright or vibrant. Not sure if the Red Sox and Angels red jerseys are correct as they seem like an in between shade of red.

Cubs blue definitely seems too dark. Blue Jays should probably be a hint darker as well.

Angels still have black belts and they should be red.

But those are all minor especially with all the positive changes they have made so thank you! Can't wait for the 28th!

Tigers were last and I remember they went through them so fast it was hard to tell.

Just checked the pullover still has buttons and there is no Tigres jersey.

Last year with that uniform u had the all red batting helmet and as a Nats fan that was a eye sore. I hope they can fix this with a patch or something.
As they have mentioned several times, if it isn't in the MLB style guide, chances are it won't be in the game.

Is there going to be an option for players (on the Indians for example) socks to have stripes?

The jersey is in the game, it's the helmet it's paired with that he's concerned about. Helmet pairing is a whole other issue.

With the mentioning of the improved bullpen AI I wonder if that means the Orioles will actually bring in Zach Britton.

Shea Stadium looking as beautiful as it ever has

Great to see all the new uniforms and fixed ones (San Diego, Red Sox, Pirates).

I love the new Universal Profile. I always have the thought in August "How much time have I spent playing this game?" Sweet to see timing now (Though that might actually make me realize how much time I could be spent elsewhere... then again I'd rather be playing The Show over almost everything.)

When they were going through the different missions, I have NO idea how I'm going to divide my time up between all of these modes. I have to play 162 in Franchise, build some dynasties, Climb up DD Seasons ranks, win some BR/Conquest/Event Games, and have a 20 year career in RTTS.... This dev team isn't taking it easy on us.

Target Feild's grass looked incredible! And Ramone said every stadium's grass and colors were touched up!

This is the double play I referenced earlier. So nice.


 
# 119 GibsonD90 @ 02/23/17 08:47 PM
I wish they could just make the jerseys user editable because the amount of complaining in every single thread about the color of a teams 6th alternate uniform undershirt being slightly off is just annoying. It needs to be addressed the same as something like rain outs. "It is how it is, so stop asking".

I for one love all of the new details. Hits/animations/ face detail updates all look great. Can't wait to see Suntrust Park as well.
 
# 120 Cory4AU @ 02/23/17 08:49 PM
Well anything else is just icing on the cake at this point. Indians uniforms are updated, ball physics, facial detail improvement, CAP overhaul, new commentary.....This game is shaping up to be the GOAT.
