You could tell that Ramone was kind of getting tired of the face scan questions yesterday. There were a lot of "I don't know" answers so I assume it would have been the same for these three.

Definitely understand.
On the other hand, what I'd like to know is whether they did facescans this spring. If they did, we won't see them until The Show 17.

I saw Flores, Lagares and Thor with generic caps on the streams this year, so, again, no biggie. It won't make me enjoy the game less.

The answer to the framerate question would be great to know, though.

I'm confused as to why people are concerned about classic stadiums because they weren't shown. This was a graphics stream not a stadium stream. The point was to show the PBR and improved graphics.

The actual schedule they have been showing mentioned Classic Stadiums as a topic of conversation for last nights stream.

But is also says TBD so it was not definite. I also seem to remember that at some point in last weeks stream they made it sound like one of the developers might not have been available for this stream.

# 45 Russell_SCEA @ 03/16/16 12:01 PM

The schedule and vlog announcing the schedule explicitly stated that nothing was set in stone and everything is/was tentative.

None of the stadium artists where available or they just didn't want to it. No giant conspiracy you'll either see them next week or when you get the game in two weeks. All of the announced classic stadiums are on the disc. It's never been implied otherwise.

Ah...I didn't catch that.

I thought I remembered you mentioning during last weeks stream that they might not be available.

Thanks for the streams and Congrats to Nick on his win

Watching the stream again and thought it would be AMAZING if we had a couple different cams from the stands for watching cpu vs cpu games. You'd get the feel of the stadium and the crowd around you... especially for the future and VR integration.

I'd love a "pick your seat" option, where you could actually choose a seat in the stands to view a CPU vs. CPU game from. For example, let's say you're a real-life potential season ticket holder and want to see the stadium view from a certain section, I believe we're approaching that level of authenticity.

I hope someday we can take virtual tours of MLB stadiums. I go to a couple Jays games every year but on my budget I'll never make it to A T&T in San Fran or Petco in San Diego or Safeco... you get the point.

Going down to Boston to see my Jays at Fenway is on my bucket list.

With PSVR functionality as well... bliss!

At past CDs I've actually pitched/discussed a "Virtual Seat Spectator Mode", not only for CPU vs CPU games, but online H2H contests as well. Needless to say, it was a huge undertaking to implement... so it is out there in the universe. And I'll keep bringing it up until they tell me I'm crazy and to stop. [emoji15]

Wouldve been funny if the stream were today and someone asked Nick if they had reason for retirement "I love my son" in the game

# 57 mlblover15 @ 03/16/16 07:57 PM

ok on the topic of MILB stadiums i have never understood how they can not have the lic... they are directly affiliated with each MLB team... so why can't tey have ethe lic to each one... so how can the MLB team not have the direct rights to its very own A-AAA teams... i dont get it. can ANYONE plese explain this to me..

face scans take place every year.. but they dont get in that year... if you scan a players face it will appear in the next years version... i know they should have some mobile version of this thing and be able to trave annd get every player in every year... oh wait that makes sense and making sense in business now a days is forbidden from what i have seen over my many years working in my adult life...

This has been explained MANY times over.. Scans take place in spring training, which makes sense, because they only have to go to FL and AZ. Scans taken in ST this year will be in '17. Some players either decline or aren't there...
