The 3D animation is the only reason I buy each new version, hoping it will be what I would like. I don't expect EA graphics, but I expect them to be smoother and fairly free of glitches. I expect more variety in play in replays.The progress is going slow. My patience are wearing a little thin.
Still I wish the 3D animation and camera views were nice and smooth and realistic without outfielders running through the fences and weird pop llies in the infield. I am hoping for more variety in base hits like flares and pop flies to short left, center and right.

I don't play out many of my games.
So the sample is very small.

Having said that, I don't see many texas leaguers, flares and bloopers.

Would like to bloopers down the left field and right field lines... flares to straight away left, center and right.

The game needs more realistic presentation of doubles and triples.
It does well down the lines and in the gaps, but straight at the outfielders don't look natural.

It does well when the ball hit the walls and ricochets.

I just think it it time for the 3D animation to be smoother and a little bit more realistic.

The camera views should be better in the default settings than they are.
Just give me a simple view of the entire field, a good view of the pitcher dlivering the ball to the batter, then a nice smooth transition to the action camera. I have never use the dynamic cameras because the just don't make smooth transitions.

I wish the view beyond the fence in the minor league ballpark showed up during the pitch camera and the action camera.

I wish the weather backgrounds included the view of the landscape beyond the fence in the minor league ballpark.

I wish we had more small minor league stadiums in the game (5000-10,000 capactty with small bleachers in the outfield and good landscapes outside the ballpark and use them on all screens in the game play... There is only one, which I use for all my teams. Wish there were more.

Yes, I know the modders have done a fairly good job of creating stadiums, but in general, they are not as good as the ones created by the game developers.I only use fictional teams and fictional stadiums in my league.

I agree 100%.
