I'm confused about the difference between MLB Network as a presentation theme (OSD's) vs MLB Network as a scheduled game broadcast. What happens on those MLB Network scheduled games that doesn't happen on a regular game with the MLB Network set as the presentation theme?

No difference. When it's on schedule it's the default presentation. That is only difference.

ShowTrack apparently only happens with the MLB Network theme. Kirby's said it twice, once in the Gamestop video and once on stream.

Less of a concern since we can choose the presentation package before every game (even in Franchise), but I was still hoping all the packages would use it.

Do you understand what "art freeze" means? The only way they would be changing the uniforms this year at this point would be to delay the release of the game. And that's not happening.

Thank you.

Ok. We have heard from the Developer (s). This thread is about Presentation and Commentary. Lets get back on that topic or I am just going to close this up.

There's no way this is 100% true and they themselves proved it wrong this year. For years the Mariners teal jerseys and the Red Sox red jerseys were too dark. This year on OUR fan feedback they were able to brighten both of those jerseys. Is our fan feedback in the style guide? Highly unlikely. If they can brighten those two jerseys and darken the Pirates black jersey among other color brightness corrections then they can brighten the Nationals red jersey. They literally just haven't done so but that doesn't mean they can't. And please don't tell me the Nationals have maroon jerseys in the style guide because there's no way that's true.

Last time. Stop with the jerseys. Ramone has said artwork is closed. This is the Presentation and Commentary thread. I have let you guys have your say and let this go longer than we should. I know everybody is excited for the game. But just stop. Move on. Back to topic.

I had responded to the post that I responded to before finishing the thread and reading your warning to get back on topic. Wasn't trying to step over you. Just clarifying. Apologies.

"Art freeze" doesn't mean "everything freeze." Just because they can't change the artwork at this point doesn't mean they are completely done working on the game. They aren't lying by saying "we are working on it." People just interpret "it" to be whatever their particular nitpick is about. We now know that "it" does not refer to artwork.

Personally, I'm glad to hear it's in art freeze...if I had to read another post about the Indians' sock colors or the Nationals jersey being 5% too dark....lol

Some posters in here are happiest when they're unhappy, if that makes sense.

I am glad they don’t. That will give the uniqueness to the MLB package.

I think I agree with this. It's mostly an aesthetic thing anyway and it gives the MLB Network just a little more 'big game' feel.

I'll have to check and see if "concourse, facade, batter's eye," etc. were things to look for in tagging. I am beyond stoked about this feature though. Hopefully it continues into replay a bit (that's what ESPN MLB did at least).

So pretty much everything that I mentioned is in the tagged sections. I didn't see facade anywhere, but then again I don't think I saw a facade anywhere either. We'll have to wait for Safeco or Miller Park or something to know that much.

I also noticed that in Chicago they specifically said "bleachers" instead of stands, but does the game's art reflect that? Are there bleachers in place there, now? Or are they still seats? I might have to check out older Wrigley videos and check it out. I would hope the same for AT&T Park as well.

Which reminds me, I pine for the day of either getting a real announcer for HRD (instead of the PA guy), or have the PA guy have "tags" as well for his calls in HRD.

It's really an underrated mode that I don't think gets the limelight quite as much. Since the time of day progression has been instituted in this game, HRD never was given that treatment. I think I understand why, though (how is time going to pass for a batter on every pitch, unless you want it to get dark in like 20 pitches? So I see where they don't quite have that down. But I do hope we can enter manual replay someday!

I'd love to see the tagged mapping for angels stadium. I doubt it works like this but it's be cool if the rock formations were divided in two since its such a big object. Lots of homeruns hit the bottom of the fountain every year and it's almost normal, but it'd be cool of there was a line for the top half of the fountain since its so far.

That aside, I was briefly amazed they bothered tagging the jumbotron at Marlins park, then I remembered Stanton

I wish the baserunning icon could be disabled (along with every other icon, notification, etc) as i use auto baserunning and auto fielding and pitch and bat from broadcast view . The fact that it is still displayed during a CPU vs CPU game leaves me with little hope. These icons detract from the 'like real life MLB broadcast' feel especially with the awesome MLB network theme. 2. I assume nobody pressed X during the game playing out...i was hoping the break in sequence of the catcher throwing the ball back to the pitcher wouldn't happen this year unless X was pressed. i assume broadcast gameplay will still have certain 'fastplay' like elements this year ah well, game is still great considering the countless good things i don't have the wrist strength to type out

For all the complaints about commentary and correct shades of red THIS is the thing that bothers me the most. Why can't they show the last 0.2 of a second of animation showing the ball going back to the pitcher? Really weird and very jarring. That and the non rotating interleague schedules are the only things that really bother me.

# 176 p00p1 @ 03/03/17 07:03 PM

So if I use MLB Network presentation as my default, will there be any difference in regular games vs the MLB Network scheduled games?

This bugs me too. I am one who appreciates the speed of baseball and I am in no hurry to get to the bottom of the ninth. I thought it would be great to have Fastplay, Hybrid and Normal play modes. But there seems to be no difference between Hybrid and Normal. It's strange. It's like going to the movies and they try to sell you a medium or a large soda. What, no SMALL? How can you have a medium without a small?
I'm sure the presentation will be great, but I hold out hope that it will not be rushed again this year.

Agree on both counts. I assumed the game was glitching the first time I saw my IL opponents were the same year after year.

And I skip maybe half of the camera cutaways but I absolutely want to see the catcher throw the ball back to pitcher. Proper time between pitches is even more important when I'm at the plate since I look to make adjustments pitch to pitch and find myself having to repeatedly step out to give myself enough time. I should mention that I saw someone else mention this on here before but it bears repeating.

# 179 Bullit @ 03/03/17 07:25 PM

Just to play devil's advocate. The presentation in the stream was on Hybrid. So don't give up hope quite yet.

I seem to remember one of the developers, I think it was Ramone, dismissing talk about creating a more realistic game flow during one of the streams last year. I remember the person saying that making things 'faster, faster, faster' was the only way to get more people playing (ie, buying). I honestly doubt they're gonna cater to purists who enjoy the downtime between pitches.
