3-6-1 DPs, bunts and show throwing animations all addressed.

The Ball Physics are going to be off the hook. Hit variety will be a game changer.

I love that throws will be varied and depend on when you pre-load during the fielding animation, players arm slot etc. That will be a huge.

Humanity AI should be a big improvement! I want to see the AI and AI controlled players make mistakes (I use auto fielding and manual throwing so seeing my OF's mis-judge a ball off the wall will be refreshing).

The Catcher meter is something I will have turned off as I play with a totally clean screen. I wonder if I choose to have it off will the throw ratings be the dominant factor. Wonder how the dice roll algorithm plays out with the catcher meter off. I use button throwing with no meter in the field as well.

Game looks sharp as always and I can't wait for Thursday's steam!

Adidas being in brought a huge smile to my face.

I really hope they made batting gloves editable to the extent that they made fielding gloves editable.
The four categories for batting gloves isn't enough.

2:55 mark. Billy Hamilton has Adidas cleats on

Yeah I saw it. That's gonna be huge. So Nike, New Balance, Adidas, Mizuno & UA all in. Not to mention the generics.

Assuming the physics, gameplay, animations, and Humanity AI improvements all behave as expected, that's worth upgrading from The Show 16 alone for me. Even if they didn't touch the graphics, features, modes, etc.

Loving everything I've heard thus far!

New ball physics will be a game changer. Bloops, Texas leaguers, top spin line drives, and curved shots down the line are going to be welcomed additions.

Also love the new Humanity AI, especially the timed step offs by the computer. That is really going to add to the run game.

Can't wait to hear more.

I'm still hoping All Star/Mizuno mitts made it in along with Nike Catcher Gear and expansion to every other brand already in.

I thought it was the 3-6-3 double play that needs to be addressed? In other words, the first baseman would never go back and cover 1st if he stated the double play turn. These situations were always dependant on the pitcher making it to first in time.

Looks like the logos on batting gloves can be edited. When they show Yasmani Grandal with the Nike MVP batting gloves (that were in 16) his Nike swoosh is white. That wasn't possible in 16 with that batting glove.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Video - Gameplay Improvements & Animation Expansion

Yes, Adidas cleats are in. 2:55 mark.
