It looks awesome, definitely. But the play by play is totally screwed up, at least for me - completely out of sync. I know it says use Short PbP Detail in 3D Mode, but even doing that, all the action happens instantly as soon as I press the button, instead of waiting till the appropriate time in the play by play like OOTP16 did. Also, Short PbP Detail isn't very much fun. It says things like:
2-1 Pitch: Fly out, F6 (Line Drive, 6)... Lined into DP, 6-4 (Line Drive, 6) Lined into DP 6-4 (Line Drive, 6)
Not as enjoyable a way to watch a game unfold. The full detail version would say something like "lined to short, out there, the runner tries to get back, double play!" I mean, I get it that wordy descriptions could mess up the sync, but it wasn't a problem with OOTP16, and like I say, short detail isn't synced either.
That said, love the visuals. Even the little hats are in the team colors.
