Has the 3D Animation Improved?

Would love you comments on the 3D animation improvements in OOTP25.

I play a very simple game... no financials, no GM, no management... I just ignore the flaws that are still in the management part of the game and the financials.

I just create a league and watch it play out... i am very happey with OOTP ... the game plays out my league with realistic stats for the era I play and has done so accurately for many, many versions... Very happy with that part of the game.

3D is about the only thing I am concerned with.

Have they gotten rid of the few glitches in the animation... weird foul balls near home plate, third, and first base... have they stop outfielders running through fences... ball going through fences.

Have they improved the camera views so they flow well from screen to screen?... have they perfected the dynamic action camera views?

I have never used the action cameras... they just don't work well IMO... much prefer long shots rather than close-up views.

I wish they would create basic default cameras that would show each play smoothly and use the action camera... it seems to be they could do this... just keep it simple and don't try to do anything fancy.

Couldn't the animators do this? Am I asking for the impossible?

Camera 1:
Give me a good shot of the mound and the batter.

Camera 2
Show where the ball is hit in a wide view.

Camera 3:
Then smoothly zoom in and show the end of the play... that would make me happy... I don't need as much camera customnizations that they give me... camera views are much too complex for a computer illiterate like me.

Just keep it simple and I would be overjoyed.
