So what you rather have had them do in the time (less than a day) it took to implement Retro Mode?

It took less than a day to implement Retro Mode? That's surprising if true as it looks like a fair bit of work. Fair play to them if that's all it took.

It just sticks in the craw a bit because they regularly trot out the "we're a small studio so we don't have the time and people" excuse for not doing things, yet managed to find time to make the gimmick retro mode. If it didn't take any time then fair enough

I was literally just thinking about something I know it will never happen, but for all games not must sports games.

it would be nice to have two separate game releases. I understand that the world as we know it is not the single player anymore it has become a multiplayer online world. that is where the money is and all that but our single player games have gotten shorter and features are taken away or tweaked in some way.

If there was a way to have two full on games released for all genres one full on fully loaded single player disc and one for all the multiplayer stuff online it would benefit everyone.

Sales would double for game companies and gamers would get everything then want from their games... longer more emmersive games...

because when you split your focus into many different areas and shove them all on one game disc you can't build every aspect of each game as you desire it too be.

this is just my .02 and i have felt this way for a while.. and always will be...

Ken Griffey Jr. baseball type retro mode for a game featuring Ken Griffey Jr. on the cover is a perfect fit. I'll like this mode to go with my rtts.

I can agree with a lot of this but I dont believe sales would double at all. I'm sure there would be some who would buy both version, but probably most (including me) would only buy one.
Put me in the offline camp. The only thing I need from online is the roster vault and any patches SCEA put out lol

Yes if you watch the Retro mode stream they say it only took a day to implement the new mode.

Worst (in no particular order):
1 Still no rotating IL schedules

Yeah, Ramone said no on twitter.

That's unfortunate.

I am really looking forward to the many improvements / additions for 17. I find it interesting how some equate a feature as being bad because of a lack of interest in it.

The only thing I am not enthused about is the art direction on the new OSD's for the pitching mechanics. Actually all the mechanic OSD's need work because their art style lacks a common theme throughout. As the game has matured and developed these have not and their style looks odd with the rest of the game.

Just wait until Under Armor puts their logo on the uniform chest in 2020. The Show has to do what MLB does but Manifred has made it clear the MLB is open for bu$$iness. I'm trying to just enjoy the game of baseball, this is such a great time of year, but the signage creep is yucky.

That's no different than the Majestic logo, just in a different place. UnderArmour is going to be the new supplier, just like New Era is the supplier of the caps.



If a half-dollar sized logo on a uniform interrupts your ability to "enjoy the game of baseball", then that's completely on you.

Re: The Three Best and Worst Things We Know About MLB The Show 17

Best:

1) MLB network presentation along with the two new men in the booth.

2) Season stats every time the player comes to bat.

3) New faces


Worst:

1) Was hoping for more in regards to franchise.

2) Jersey colours still off.

3) The "early and "late" words that pop up while using meter pitching.

Re: The Three Best and Worst Things We Know About MLB The Show 17

Best
1. Improved ball physics
2. Humanity AI
3. New body types

Worst
1. Franchise mode
2. No rotating IL schedule

[mdiggitydawg]

Excited for the ball physics, and hoping- really hoping AI is much better, both team mate (Baserunning) and opponent (Pitcher match ups in games, or playoff series)
still the reason why I bought the PS4, but like many of us OSers...I am old school play every inning franchise person,hate to see it get pushed to the side

Re: The Three Best and Worst Things We Know About MLB The Show 17

I was thinking about this more, I am happy with all the changes. As long as we can edit players I am fine. I am just happy to have a baseball game. It's almost scary, if there wasn't the show there would be no baseball game. So I am thankful.

[AKM97]

Best:
Ball physics
Updated RTTS
Updated graphics

Worst:
Retro mode
Redundant franchise mode
Jerseys still don't seem very fluid in game.
