So no, it's not just the new crowd that "want the eye candy".
With that being said, I don't expect The Show graphics. I think their approach with the pawns is great.
And by the way, is you read Markus's AMA a few weeks ago, I think he made it pretty clear that the 3D aspects of the game is pretty important to him.

I think Markus and Co will do whatever it takes to generate the most revenue, which essentially means appealing to the broadest base possible to increase sales. And if that means eventually having "MLB The Show" level graphics, that's what they will aim to do.
Look, I think a modernized version of Microleague/Earl Weaver with a simple single cam view that is adjustable to any position in the ballpark is all they need.
(as an aside, take a look at the over head cam in
THIS clip of WGT baseball - along with the physics, animation, and graphical detail. That's it, all they need. Nothing more. Period. End of story. But NOT the batter cam.. I HATE batter cam shots. Ugh.)
Anyway, that is essentially what they have now. The ball flight physics right now are great - when they work - and that's 95% of the time which is fine for now, given the resources.
The only thing to nail down at this point is replacing the pawns with animated players. But will that be enough to appeal to a broader base and generate a huge spike sales? Probably not like "Show" style graphics would - not that I would want that. And that is what it's about
: more sales, more revenue. As I said earlier, Markus and co will do whatever it takes for that.
