You know what I love?

We are now on the 10th page of this discussion, and pretty much everyone has been extremely positive and upbeat! It is great to see!

I will continue it. Very solid VLOG today! Looking forward to hearing more Thursday afternoon.

Could be the uniforms with names are fixed, but not uni's without names.

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

Did you ever submit this as feedback? First I am hearing of it...

I'm 99.9% sure I did in the stadiums thread. Is it still possible to fix it?

Hit Variety looks like it'll be a huge upgrade this year.
Cat-and-Mouse interaction can make the running game more realistic.
New and Improved signature animations are always nice.

I did notice Contreras' Catchers Mask did not have the Cubs logo on it still. Really wish they add that for the final build, that is huge.

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

I assumed the new catch and throw system was related to RTTS. My hype is deflating because the RTTS infield catching system has always been poor and the recent RTTS outfield catching system (camera shows landing spot instead of ball flight) has become equally poor. If nothing has changed on this front, I'm probably going to pass.

Looks like they got the full LED board in at progressive field. Nice!

Things that look improved to me!

1. Ball Physics look 100X better!!!

2. All gameplay animations look so much better including Fielding, Hitting and even running the bases looks improved!

3. Players Models seem improved.
More accurate body types and less bulky including possible number on back of jerseys fixed.

4. Day game lighting seems improved brighter perhaps giving more of a day game look.

5. Overall gameplay seems smoother.

6. Subjective but the grass sort of looks better to me as in more vivid shade of green.
Or again my eyes are playing tricks on me and I am just seeing want I want to see.


As for the small negative stuff which could be due to early footage.

1. Umpires still not wearing new updated outfits that were worn for the 2016 season.

2. Catchers still do not have team logo on back of batting helmet when catching. I could have sworn this was in MLB The Show 15.

3. Still no rosin bag on the pitchers mound in real time.

4. Scorebug is different and not necessarily for the better.
In fact maybe a little worse thanks to the big MLB The Show 17 logo at the top which was removed the last few versions but has seemed to return

All said and done I like what I see so far!

I think one of the pics is a later build because the outfield walls are much different. look at the out of town score board in the Encarnacion pic!

I think you're on to something plus it looks like they redid the scoreboards entirely.

SDS just can't win. They changed to the current(former) outfield can because the one in 15 and 16 people didn't like.

In those screenshots the two shots of progressive field looking at the left field wall and scoreboard almost look like two different builds. You can tell mini scoreboards in the wall are different and the big board looks LED in the Encarnacion pic and the old one in the Santana pic. The wall also looks more true to color in the first shot.

I really hope we get that one with Encarnacion in it.

EDIT: someone beat me to it.

I think its still early and the player jerseys may be fixed equal to the back where numbers being placed.

Then you have the coaches at 3B and 1B where maybe they didn't adjust the numbers on coaches jerseys yet?

I agree about the score bug. I hate seeing the MLB The Show logo on it. Kind of an eyesore.

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

May just be my old eyes and imagination. But if you like right around 3:55 it looks like they fixed the pitchers hand after ball release. Doesn't it look like his pinky finger is curled up?

I am all for as immersive of an experience as possible, but good lord do you guys get hyped for new cleats/batting gloves/accessories.

That being said, I can't wait! The Show is my favorite sports game.
