I recently converted my Islandian Pro Alliance dynasty league to OOTP25.
I am using the most current update.

I was very pleased with the 3D Animation. They have perfected it a lot. It is smoother. The plays at first base involving the first baseman and pitcher are improved. Still not looking nice and natural, but better.

I did not see any weird foul fly balls... no players running through the fences any longer... No ball going through the fences any more.
I'm glad to see the third baseman tagging third base more oftern for a force out rather that throwing to first base.
I'm glad the third baseman is making the easier play, like he should.


The Default camera views are no better than OOTP24. I can't use the dynamic camera and the zooming camera. They are still herky jerky and just do not follow the action smoothly.

I just created a few simple cameras that worked well for me. I like to get as close to the infielders as possible and see the outfielders and watch the ball all the way without losing it.
It works well except for high fly balls.

I played out all of my Pro Cup Series, my World Series, in the one-pitch mode.
I wanted to check out the 3D animation completely.

I created couple of camera views where I could see all players in the field... one pitch camera and one action camera. The players were a good size... and I could see the entire play except for home runs... The ball would go out of sight and disappear until it came down over the fence.. I would just switch views on the replay mode and choose a wide view so I could see the ball in flight the entire way.

The only ball I could not see were foul flies around home plate and from first to third base. When I lost the ball on the action camera, I just used the replay mode and switched to a wider view camera.

I thoroughly enjoyed my Pro Cup Series in 3D animation. Even the old style jerseys looked pretty good as long as I did not zoom in on them.

I wish the OOTP animators would create some simple default camera views that would smoothly show the game. I just don't understand why the default camera views are so poor. Give us a set of default views that are simple, up close and personal. You can also include a fancy, dancy, complex and zoomy set of default cameras, too. I just won't use them if they don't smoothly show the action.
