Wasn't the 2D engine only introduced a couple of versions ago? I'd say we're likely still a way away from that as it took OOTP a considerable amount of time. Plus it's easier for baseball as it's mostly a static game and their engine is still full of quirks where the on screen representation doesn't match the behind the scenes calculation.

So I think waiting for this to look like NHL 23 will be a looooong way off. Even a game like FM23 has had a 3D match engine for over 14 years and they are getting grief about their graphics not being good enough and their team size is huge and they're in the top 10 selling games on steam every year. Jeff has said often that the FHM team can be counted on one hand.
