That's been in the game for as long as I can remember, especially in 'play now' games where it shows last years stats in the batter walkups

They also will be button up, and probably will have numbers on the back for every team, so they will have multiple errors.

Another crazy fact, they had to create all these from scratch. The ST jerseys for most teams are pretty much replicas to one of their current alternates. So it would have been less work to put in the ST jerseys.

Another thing with the no changes to jersey slots - Diamondback fans get screwed over again.

What if there are more uniform slots to be revealed and BOTH these BP and the new spring training jerseys are in the game

From what we saw, there is very little chance of that. They already showed the uniform selection screen.

What about the stream next week and the new uniform sets?

The hit variety due to new ball physics looks insane this year. Very happy with what I saw in the limited gameplay.

Hey Ramone, first of all I think you're one of the best community managers/devs out there. Your connection to the community is an example for other teams.

Having said that I think in 15 you guys made great strides in the colour palette and then in 16 the fields/grass (not the stadiums!) got almost back to the way they looked in 14.

I took an (almost) exact shot of Comerica Park from The Show 15 and 16. Same month, 4pm game, clear skies.

15

It could be updated lighting engines, the way the sun reflects off the grass etc. but in 15 I truly (for the first time) felt I was playing a midsummer game because of the vivid colours.

I said earlier, I'm expecting it to be a few more mix and match options nothing major. I don't see them adding to a menu that we have already seen.

The Giants have a new regular season black alternate this year, that's what you guys are probably seeing. The jerseys will replace last year's black alternates and sort of resemble the spring training jerseys with the black drop shadowed numbers leaving and now all the lettering is a solid orange.

Nope. Read back through the previous posts. They clearly showed the Indians warmup and the Giants jersey they showed, clearly has no patch on the sleeve just like the new BP warm ups. The alternate jersey would have a patch on the sleeve. So the one we are seeing is the Giants BP warm up jersey.

On the topic of grass, I did a little looking around and found that there are a few different types of lawn grass used in MLB parks..each having their own characteristics/qualities..

Now that I'm seeing this picture, the grass is missing a sheen or shine to the blades of that makes sense. And yes, the green color palette needs to be richer, darker, greener.

Yeah there has been some talk in my online franchise group chat that it wouldn't be in this year, not sure where it came from, but I'm glad to see it is

Couldn't you do an online franchise in The Show 16? I'm an offline franchise guy but I thought the option for online franchise was there.

Yep. Never mind. I'm an idiot. I'm going to blame that on lack of sleep.

They have to be doing something new in regards to the uniforms because they listed them as a topic for the deep dive. Maybe more mix and match options? At this point after seeing the uniform selection screen we shouldn't expect it to be anything major.

Very possible. I'm going to hold off judgement like I said before until next Thursday and see what happens. They very well could have ST jerseys in we just don't know (The build Ramone was showing off may not have been current we don't know). I really hope they make it in though it's going to suck like you said especially with Dbacks fans (I was planning on using them this year, because I thought at the very least the red alternate would make it in). We'll see what happens man you never know they might surprise us.

Either the art team did some good guessing, they have been looking at the construction updates online, or they've been looking at renderings for what it is supposed to look like.

I know it shows 10 uniform slots for Cleveland when Ramone is picking the jersey, but does anyone think anything of the space that still is in the box there or thats just the design? It looks like maybe some teams could have 1 or 2 more jerseys?
