3D animation...

[crazyjoedavola]

Posting here because I think this is more or less a suggestion...the 3D animation has gotten a lot better, especially over the last couple versions, so all I am suggesting is that it continues...e.g., more variation in batted balls, both in and out of play...and I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea (pip, pip) but I play out most of my games and seeing the improvements to the animation engine has thoroughly enhanced my enjoyment of the game!

They've been doing this ever since 3d was added. I think the last couple of version's improvements are so noticeable because the most elementary plays, from 24 and before, have been ironed out. This has allowed them to add or refine the more advanced plays from 25 to now. I don't know why v27 would be any different.

IMHO it made a big jump from 25 to 26. A lot of different "during the play" camera angles were added that add to the action. They show off more of the
great stadiums that come with the game, and Silvam's great historical stadiums too. I'm hoping for the same type of jump from 26 to 27.

The priority for me is to to get rid of all situations where the camera loses the ball during play. Second would be to clean up some of the throws from the outfield. Other's milage may vary. Having said that, I do appreciate that this has come a long way over where it was. But as long as they do something, like you, I'll be a happy camper.

Agreed. A little less animation unpredictability would be great. Chopper in the infield always seems to result in a single. In the CF cam view if the catcher jumps fast base stealer is out -- dead give away. If the infielder catches the ball in an odd way it will be an error on the throw -- almost always. Too many animations are predictable early, killing some excitement.
