Throw in unis with names & numbers, socks, and quite a few new play/animations, and the in-game experience took a nice jump in quality. I hope we get batting helmets skinned with team colors and logos, and an option for no batting helmets for historical, for v25.

My biggest pet peeve with 3D mode right now is that the game periodically tracks camera angles into the stands and sometimes the new fans will stand up and block my view of the damn play. This is probably more of an issue with the camera angles in the parks I'm using (which are historical/user-created ones collected by since-disgraced and heavily banned OOTPer silvam18) but it's STILL ANNOYING.
That said, every iteration we get more animations and that's great. This year they seemed to have added the "nasty one-hopper" infield base hit, which is a really nice touch - I think they just need to incorporate a play that looks just like it coming off the bat but which turns into an out (sometimes you can see that one coming... and to be perfectly fair, when you watch a game IRL a lot of the time you can predict the outcome of a play pretty well with the crack of the bat).
