You know a game is truly great when people start nitpicking the texture of the dirt in the outfield. Sorry for venting, I didn't mean to disrespect anyone if I did.

Everything is relative with respect to each individual's wants/needs. Those things you prioritize above may not be the priority over the other things you mentioned to others. Nature of the beast.

Game looks beautiful. Looking forward to March 29th!

That said, Matt V. must have some dirty pictures of the devs because the commentary sounds exactly the same. Hope I'm surprised, but it's just really bringing down an otherwise stellar game.

Maybe he didn't get scanned but to have the top 2 picks of a draft class Correa and Buxton looking generic is a huge disappointment.

I really hope one of the pre-order bonuses is a doctor's note dated March 29.

they've been playing on quick play and mashing X a lot, so hopefully they added some more lines that we haven't heard yet!
I agree though, there's no sports game that has good commentary though. NBA2K is the best, but even that gets really repetitive

I agree with both of you gentlemen in the sense that I prioritize the things mentioned in the above post (stats, stats, stats, and gameplay, with a dash of visuals). I also agree that there is a matter of perspective and different strokes for different folks.

To add to this, I would say that although I sometimes chuckle to myself at how certain posters want/obsess over seemingly trivial things, I also realize that every request and constructive criticism is helpful to the devs. There's a reason the purple names are on here 24-7 this time of year and they undoubtedly get a lot of ideas about what to do and not do (and probably get some laughs and some rage from reading). I think the game benefits greatly from having so many people interested in critiquing so many facets of the game.

One thing I noticed during the stream at Chase field when the roof was closed you guys said that the fielder didn't get to the ball because he lost it in the sun. How is it possible to lose the ball in the sun when the roof is closed?

Check out the picture I posted.
it is a day game with light coming through but the roof and upper part of the stadium are not gold or yellow.

I've never had an issue with this. I guess if you use the pitcher view camera with runner windows off it might be an issue, but other than that I'm not sure what else would be needed.

They could have an infielder screaming "going!" through the speaker of the controller.

i wonder if they solved the Replay issues from 15 like balls going right through bats and check swings having weird animations where the bat actually floats to the position it ends at while the players check swing is in motion. things like that.

The difference is that your picture is during a day game, while the game they were playing in the broadcast was a night game and the "gold" you were seeing was the sun light from the sunset.

I'm think those things have been explained in the past based on the way they have to "make up" and insert frames that didn't exist at real time in order to produce slow motion in replay. Something like that. Maybe I'm remembering wrong.

That was a bug. It was actually remnants from a prior pop-out.

Also, you mentioned the "tilt" in the fish eye batting cam... That was intentional, as it is actually an offset cam, to help with better picking up curveballs/sliders. I'm sure you can make a custom cam, based off of the default and remove the offset. That's what I did when I played with it.

I have been to plenty of night games at Chase Field and the roof has never appeared to be yellow or gold when the sun sets. Sorry.

Although kehlis already spoke about the fact that people have different wants, I can say two things about this matter (even though I have not spoken about them myself):

1) The developers have made mention for the past couple of years on how they have the correct sun orientation for every field, so if they are off by a substantial amount then I believe that would be a legitimate concern, no matter how big or small you feel it is.

2) If a sun is going down in center field in any stadium, that is a problem by design.

Thanks for that info I would definitely like to make a custom camera off fish eye.

How do you make a custom camera?

I also thought the same. If I recall when you enter replay the field doesn't rewind back to that state. If the dirt got messed up during he play I'm pretty sure that same messed up dirt will show when rewinding. Sort of like how you see the on deck batter as the current batter in replays. Not sure if was ever fixed, but in one stream I definitely saw the future dirt issue. Some fudging has to be done for replays and that is probably even more true for slow motion.

Our sun positions and movement are all based on google satellite data.

# 180 sportdan30 @ 02/24/16 03:12 PM

Hope the foul ball slider finally works. Too often, playing against the CPU, I'd have 8 plus pitch at bats, even with the slider turned all the way down.
