Re: Breaking Down the MLB The Show 17 Gameplay Enhancements Trailer

I only hope that the Red Sox dance is specific to the Red Sox, so I can swap out OF (like if I don't want to use Benintendi or JBJ, but manage to acquire a big bat to fill the corner spot) and still see the animation.

They only broke out that stuff in September in the heat of the pennant races though, I wish it were a earned/situational celebration cuz those celebrations were special.. but I know it's a game so it has be accessible as soon as you win one exhibition game.

I get this game every year, I love it...but is it just me or do they always say they have new ball physics every year?

They often do, but I think this is on a different level

They have mentioned it the last few years and it has been incremental changes but it sounds like this year they have hit it out of the park (pardon the lame pun).

Good stuff, Millennium! I think the changes shared by Sony today are definitely positive, and I'm excited to see what Thursday brings in their overview.

Thanks for breaking this down and pointing out all the stuff. Sometimes it's hard for me to pull back, stop looking for visual details, and listen to Ramone.

Do....they actually do that dance? I just assumed that was one of those crazy "idle game" scenes where it cuts to the players/umpires doing ridiculous stuff.

Yes that is the Red Sox new outfield thing they do after a W.

One thing Russell mentioned which a lot of people seemed to have missed was temperature is now a factor along with things like altitude in determining ball flight.

Maybe in the deep dive they will expand on this but I suspect in hot weather the ball will travel farther.

July games at Coors ftw

If this is true, it'll make a difference playing in places like Texas, Arizona and Coors Field.

April games at Wrigley FTL.

Great breakdown I definitely missed a lot in the video even after watching a few times

Re: Breaking Down the MLB The Show 17 Gameplay Enhancements Trailer

So for the first time ever Weather and temperature will actually have a big impact on Ball physics?

So like for example if you are playing in Wrigley Field in early April and it's cold and damp the ball should not carry well out all.

you can see where the wrigley bullpens are easily shown in the parts where Heyward was making catch and throws.

If you scroll down the page in that article they break down cold vs warm days in various MLB ballparks. There are one or two surprises on the list like the Dodgers with more cold than warm.

Coors and Arizona already get a park factor effect. The Rangers absolutely I would expect to get a bump in offense.

Re: Breaking Down the MLB The Show 17 Gameplay Enhancements Trailer

Very interesting trailer. I particularly liked the new outfield animation involving Jason Heyward. It’s so much more authentic. One negative point though, and you can't miss it: The Indians jersey is not right - the collar lining is way off. The lining should be very thin, perhaps ¼ of an inch at the most. I should know: I have that jersey at home! Is it SDS that’s at fault or is it the Indians that don't follow their own style guide? Hopefully, it will be rectified come release time.
