MLB The Show 17 Trailer, Retro Mode Details Revealed

Re: MLB The Show 17 Trailer, Retro Mode Details Revealed

I think it's way to early to judge 17 this early based on the usual 1 minute teaser we get around this time every year. However I have to admit based off of this teaser I honestly thought I was watching MLB The Show 14, 15 or 16. The graphics seem to be stuck in quicksand as in they are not progressing as fast as we all would like it to. And what makes this teaser even harder to watch is the fact that some of us now have the more powerful PS4 Pro and if that is pretty close to what it will look like on the Pro then that is going to be very disappointing. I am confident the gameplay,ball Physics and so on will see some nice improvements as they seem to do with every new version. But until I see other wise I expect the graphics to once again take a back seat to everything else and once again have that Late PS3, early PS4 type of look if you know what I mean. Maybe it is true and we will not see that "next gen" graphical look until PS5. Having said all that I am as always still really excited and looking forward to 17 because even though it may basically look like the same game year after year I know the gameplay will better and more new animations that at least make the game look more realistic in motion.

Still don't think this is the yr we get create a stadium (believe we won't get this til PS5)
With old Yankee Stadium in hopefully we get more retro Stadiums like
Metrodome, Olympic Stadium and others and hopefully more realistic looking minor league stadiums.
Not concerned with graphics yet as long as they fix ball physics, make wind realistic again and fix things like base running, and 1st and 3rd baseman not fielding balls correctly when it's hit right at them, and more balls hit down the line

The only new retro stadiums we'll probably get is Metrodome, Yankee Stadium II, Sun Life Stadium and Shea Stadium since those were in last gen. Even possibly Turner Field.

Excited to see old Yankee Stadium returning. Would love to see them add the stadium it's original form as well. Pre 1970s renovations. Also glad we finally hand New Balance cleats.

Some of you have made comments that you think the ball Physics looked improved. I honestly have no idea how you can see that in this teaser trailer? I mean I am confident that the ball Physics will be improved in 17 but I really see no evidence of that yet in this teaser.

The only thing for sure I got out of this teaser is there will be a lot of new player celebrations.

Does anyone else think this player model looks different than the ones that have been in the game for years and are throughout the rest of the trailer?



Maybe I'm looking too far into things, but the way the jersey hangs off the players back doesn't look like anything I've seen with the current models. Maybe it's possible that there are new player models or updated cloth physics and the game is still at such an early point in development that they decided to go with the old models for this first trailer, other than this scene which may have been added later than everything else. Anyone else see what I'm talking about, or should I take off my tin foil hat?

Have you ever seen the ball slice off a ground bounce like it does at :20? Look at where it hits in front of the plate versus where it ends up heading to as it bounces toward the camera - slicing away from the baseline. I'm pretty sure I haven't seen that kind of movement before in this series.

Mid air slices/hooks have existed for a long time, but once the ball hit the ground it usually lost its spin and straightened out. This kind of ground ball movement is what can cause baseline hits to spin into outfield side walls (and away from fielders), resulting in more unpredicability and extra base hits.

I see what you mean but I honestly can not say if I have ever seen that in 16 or not. But I will definitely take your word for it and hope you are right

So yeah, what jumps out to me immediately was the bouncing ball curling down the line (hooking) off the left handed batter that had the right ball physics!! Tell me I was seeing that correctly!?

Same crap. Add a new feature. Meanwhile online franchise still is broken. Saving money if it isn't fixed.

I agree dude, I really hated the part of the trailer where they showed online franchise with the same lack of features.

Glad to see Junior's correct stance will finally be in the game!
