Mo, the RTTS stream is still at the normal time. Essentially they moved the graphic stream, left the RTTS stream and are squeezing in the dev Tourney between streams and after the RTTS stream.

My guess is that some of these guys will be taking some vacation time next week before release.

Anyone know if Ramone is going to read off more players who have a new stance or delivery?

Im curious if Robbie Ray and Taijuan Walker have new deliveries?

Same. 65" Panasonic Plasma, 4 years old and works like's it brand new. I figure maybe I'll upgrade my 32" LED when PS5 is here..

I love how the lead art guy prob doesn't even care about baseball, but is so good in the graphics department.

That guy would be a good foil for a certain regional manager at a midsize paper supply company...

By the way, I also enjoyed how the body style sliders made guys like Jake Arrieta and Jason Heyward look lean and athletic while Schwarber is more of a brick wall. The body sliders, the far better faces (the eyes are way way way better), and the color palettes (instead of just a few presets) for skin tones and hair colors are all a pretty big win. I am dying to see what this game looks like with 4K/HDR options enabled.

The lighting in the face has taken a drastic step forward. The addition of that extra "light" or "sparkle" to the pupil and iris area helps breathe life into it.

My concern that may have gone overlooked is in the detail that I would like to see fleshed out for MLB 18' is the sclera (white part) of the eyes when the player looks left and right. Couldn't upload to photobucket (because it's down) and by default I'm using the OS attachment feature.

As someone looks left or right the amount of white should normally decrease proportionally on both sides of the eyes.

Below in the very first MLB screenshot, the amount of white (sclera) left of the iris/pupil is more pronounced on the left eye. As the player looks the other way (the last two pictures, the amount of white present is more pronounced in the other eye).

I missed something about create a stadium, can somebody elaborate? ty

# 47 RnRexpress3423 @ 03/16/17 06:52 PM

Sorry, I'm unable to watch the stream. Is the resolution native 4K or the checkerboard version? Either way, my body and PS4 Pro are ready for all these 4K and HDR goodies. This makes me very excited that I can play The Show with all of these enhancements and I'll be taking plenty of screenies this year.

I don't think you really missed anything there. They were sitting on the couch looking at textures around Shea Stadium and all agreed that they'd like to work on Create-a-Stadium. Then they mentioned something about pre-production meetings for '18 starting up in a month. One of the graphics guys--I think--could be heard jokingly saying it would take 4 years or something.

Dang, I was hoping they mentioned create-a-stadium as a real possibility in the coming years.

So pumped for 4K, but wondering if its native. But having the options to do enhanced or framerate settings will be tough to pick. lol

That means he just has an alternating esotropia. No worries.

I think I heard them say that it's a 4k frame buffer. I think that means native 4k. Enhanced visuals is 1440p.

So is it safe to assume that framerate mode will be uncompromised 60fps at 1080p while enhanced visuals will be 1440p and probably hover between 45-60 fps?

I'm strongly considering upgrading as well. I can trade in my Xbox one and ps4 and a bunch of accessories and games and basically get the ps4 pro and maybe get an HDR tv with my tax refund. Kind of hard to justify though hahahaha.

In-game menu options for Rise of the Tomb Raider. And i think MLB The Show is the same.

# 59 CujoMatty @ 03/16/17 07:50 PM

I didnt do my research when i bought my 4k tv and didnt get an HDR one. Regretting that decision immensly right now but atvleast i do have 4k and a pro.
