MLB The Show 17 Twitch Stream - Gameplay, Animations & Retro-Mode Deep Dive



Loved seeing this also. Been hoping for newer animations/presentations during walkups, in the box, hr and run scoring celebrations. Always pumped to see the new and reworked stances/deliveries and animations.

I see when they played CPU vs CPU the baserunner window was still present. I miss the days when I could put on a CPU vs CPU and see nothing but the scorebug (very TV broadcast like)...I was hoping for the possibility to turn off every icon, notification, etc. and only have the scorebug during gameplay (me vs CPU offline), but seeing it still on CPU vs CPU gives me little hope...but it's still early. Nice animations for sure though.

I was wondering if that would make it in this year or not.

I've been hoping for this for years (and position players pitching). Crossing fingers!

I excited to see the other catcher setups.

I can't remember the first year was when we could turn everything off (I think MLB 15?), but I've been able to disable baserunner windows every year since getting these games back in '09. Don't see why it won't change now.

Speaking of which, the baserunner window is a perfect example of this game being WIP. They obviously (or likely) won't look the way they do right now when the game releases.

Anyone know what the Nike batting gloves that Kipnis (and a lot of other players) is wearing are called?

From an equipment perspective, I'm 95% sure Zobrist was swinging a Trinity Bat Co. bat, and it looks like Rizzo had that multi-color "lizard skin" bat tape that a ton of players use now. Those are two nice and unexpected additions, if so.

Zobrist indeed did have a Trinity Bat in the stream.

It's really interesting to see all of the debug options they had at their disposal to test scenarios. I noticed some funny stuff in there, CHEATS, hit types, scenarios, pitchers throwing all strikes, ball, always put ball in play, etc.

All in all it was a pretty informative stream and I especially liked when Gill and Jeff came on and gave some more detailed breakdowns. Looking forward to next Wednesday.

I'm really liking the retro mode fielding camera (both for offense & defense fielding) any mention if we can use that camera for regular MLB the show? is it a selectable option?
If not please allow us to use it!

Different year same OS :-) lol

• Retro mode camera is available in the regular game
• Catcher throw meter is still being tuned not finished by any means. Streaming a game that's not done knock knock.
• We are in crunch, it's not easy to pull people away from their day-to-day to do these streams
• Bunting, we didn't realize until after the stream, but we had fastballs down the middle on. So yeah bunting is way easier with every fastball down the middle. Anyway it's been worked on a lot you'll see more Wednesday. And that's the beauty of streaming an unfinished game, we worked on it a lot then streamed and found something else to tune which you'll see on Wednesday.
• Graphics, WIP same as every year look at the first stream or vlog from any year then reference it with the last one.
• Graphics............13th.............:-)

Here you go.

Best fielding cam this game has ever had is in Retro Mode, especially since it's for both offense and defense. Not quite a broadcast camera, but in my opinion it's significantly more representative of one than the one they currently have. I wonder if it's usable outside of that mode.

EDIT: Aaaand Russell comes through!!!

absolutely 100% agree the retro mode fielding camera is fantastic!

Re: MLB The Show 17 Twitch Stream - Gameplay, Animations & Retro-Mode Deep Dive

now that we have an awesome fielding camera option, next question is
Can we disable the home run celebration camera? I'm really hoping yes!

Re: MLB The Show 17 Twitch Stream - Gameplay, Animations & Retro-Mode Deep Dive

I wonder if the catching meter will appear when attempting snap throws?

I was also wondering this. Along with this has anybody ever been able to get an out call on a back-pick vs CPU? I use Salvy in franchise and would like to see him actually pick people off from time to time like he does in real life.

Sorry I realize I'm responding to you twice. But, I noticed in the VLOG and I can't even remember who it was but a view of a catcher who had already slid to the outside corner and then popped his glove out as the pitcher started to deliver. The old animation always had the glove shown right away. But in real life catchers slide around late and show the glove late because let's be honest MLB pitchers aren't throwing to the glove. They've hit the outside corner with a heater thousands of times and know where to put it.
