The day to night transition is a sight to behold. I love the way AT&T park looks, but when it opened up on Busch Stadium my mouth dropped. That was simply stunning.

My only question out of this entire thing: are stadium fly-ins still in?

If it's the same as the PS3 version, you'll love it. It's a thing of beauty.

If they were not able to put it in the game I would think we would have heard about it by now. Hopefully.

Anyone know if Puig showed up on time for the stream?

Does that dynamic in-play angle stay even if you have your own custom camera?

Awesome. I'm on a media blackout until May 6th, so this is great to hear.

Someone needs to tell Hunter Pence to switch his fielder throwing mode to classic, or whatever it is.

stadium fly-ins aside I agree with everything mentioned here. The light transitions are amazing and bring a depth to the game that wasn't available on any other console.

Congrats SCEA, best pre-order ever!!!

New hair tech that creates individual hair stands
Grass with geometry (PS3 is a flat surface)
New dirt particle effects and dirt clumps


Plus every new feature that was introduced on PS3. That's quite an achievement for 75 man development team creating three skus in 9 months. When one of them had to be built from the ground up.
You guys did an amazing job, can't wait to play it. Plus I didn't buy the ps3 version but you guys really stream lined RTTS and is it true that you have something under the hood that prevents the computer AI from trading its stars away? If so that is awesome.

You would think that they would've been capable of having better video capture quality, which makes me think it was of low quality on purpose...

Someone else who watched in 360p (the quality the IGN player defaults to), while the rest of us who manually changed it to 1080p (again, its still not true 1080 on a stream) enjoyed a veritable feast of graphical gorgeousness.

Clearly people just dont always quite know what button to press...

Clearly, you don't know what your talking about...I watched it in 720p, and it still looked like crap. I firmly believe it will look fantastic on my Ps4, but that live stream, not so much.
 
# 234 LastActionHero @ 04/15/14 06:04 AM
When I put it on 1080p it looked great!
 
# 235 JMD @ 04/15/14 06:23 AM
This may be a stupid question but we will be able to turn that pulsation circle before the pitch and those meter things off right? I don't want to see any of that on my screen. Thanks

Perhaps you should have tried 1080p then, because i tried 720 for comparison as well, and it was a world of difference.

However, it clearly looked far from "crap" in 720, so perhaps a trip to the opticians is required

Yes you can ( Pulse and meter ) turn it off , you can use classic it will not be there as you will be using the button option.

Just look at the pin sharp detail in the Wrigley badge on Bonifacios arm.

Razor.

The pulsation circle is part of pulse pitching so if you don't want that you should go with classic pitching. The other screen clutter like the hud and pitch selection you can turn off since 13 so I'm assuming this is still possible in 14. Maybe someone with a ps3 version can confirm.

Just one more while i have the stream running in 1080...

Look at the grass in this one, you can really get what they talked about when saying each individual blade of grass is rendered, its taken a massive step up in how the grass on PS3 looked.
