And yeah I know the graphics absolutely should be updated considering the hardware we have now. I was playing last night, and I forget how decent the game looks. There are some things they could change though. Sleeves come to mind. Like putting ruffles on the short sleeves. It would also be nice to wear the tight pants but while showing socks. I know some cleats this is sort of possible, but it's just the little things visually that can go a long way.

Yady had his neck tattoo in the game for the last couple of years because the face scan picks it up.

You can make beautiful in game screenshots so thats just a fault in their marketing. I mean look at this:



And this is from The Show 20

That’s nice. I have no idea what the marketing department does, but it certainly doesn’t get you pumped for the game.

It's a good point really. For years I've rarely put much stock into the photos or videos shared for marketing/promo by SDS close to game release. Because they always for some reason look worse than the actual game. Just look in the OS thread "photographic side of mlb the show", there are some amazing pictures in there by us gamers.

It appears to me that there are more variations of dirt, better texture to the actual dirt, and better color implementation. Don’t quote me, this is just how I’ve seen it from viewing the trailers. And I did call the improvement to the hair based solely upon the first Vlad screenshot. Just saying lol

Looks like the graphics updates are coming based on their recent released blog and 20-minute raw gameplay video. Player models, hair physics, lighting, time transitions, etc. look to be improved.

It's interesting because when I read about people discussing the show on places like reddit I have no idea what they're talking about anymore. I hear phrases like "packs, collections, cards, stubbs, vouchers, Diamond Dynasty, ranked, etc'' I have zero clue what any of these things are. Feels in a lot of ways the game is leaving an older guy (30s) like me behind. However the 60 fps sounds very nice though.

I’m the same way. Most people talk about DD if it’s not online issues. All I was hearing about this last year was “sets”. Sets this and sets that. Someone on Reddit asked what sets are and why so many complain about them so now I know what they are. Was clueless for months.

Interesting. I have told myself I will go ahead and buy the show this year. Probably will wait till April to let the first few patches set in. (game always feels incomplete on day 1). However, I will be expecting much much more next year when they leave ps4/xb1 behind. There is just no excuse to not take advantage of next gen hardware. At least that's my opinion.

Based on this seems they might be laying some kind of foundation for next gen.
